It absorbs quickly without feeling sticky, making it perfect for hot summer use.
ConsThe only downside is the small size. I wish it came in a larger volume.

It's perfect for combination to oily skin types! I applied it every morning after toner, and despite its lightweight appearance, it provided excellent hydration for combination dehydrated skin! Highly recommended for combination/oily and combination dehydrated skin types! It's also gentle enough for sensitive skin! While the regular price is $29 for 50ml, you can snag it for around $10 during sales, which is great!
ConsI expected the ampoule essence to have a thick, concentrated texture like typical ampoules, not a watery consistency. So it was a bit disappointing for addressing deep dryness! It seems better suited for lightweight application!
TipAfter cleansing with toner, applying two layers of this essence worked wonderfully! Occasionally, I'd soak cotton pads with it and place them on areas with redness - it calmed my skin instantly, which was fantastic!

It absorbs quickly, and it doesn't cause any new blemishes on my face. It's truly gentle on the skin, as the name suggests.
ConsPerhaps because it's so gentle, it doesn't seem to have any dramatic effects.

I loved how it left my skin feeling hydrated without any stickiness after absorption. It's a gentle ampoule that I can apply liberally on my combination dehydrated and super sensitive skin without causing any blemishes. I also appreciated the package design - the print is on a removable cover rather than directly on the bottle, making it easier to recycle. I'd recommend this to those with sensitive, combination dehydrated skin who dislike sticky skincare products.
ConsWhile it's sufficient to use just an ampoule and cream in summer, those with extremely dry skin like mine might need a few more steps during seasonal changes and winter. It seems best suited for seasonal use.
TipOn days when my skin feels a bit dry, I found it perfect to layer an oil-based essence over the ampoule.

Cons- The packaging design isn't particularly attractive, though it's designed for easy recycling - May be insufficient when used alone
Tip- I usually apply two layers - It's better to apply with your hands rather than using tools like sponges for better absorption - Highly recommend finishing by gently patting the skin with your hands

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, applying it twice and finishing with a rich cream was perfect for me. For those with dry skin, it's ideal for purely replenishing moisture. Formula: It has a runny consistency, somewhere between an ampoule and a toner. It absorbs well into the skin. Scent: In my opinion, there was absolutely no fragrance!
ConsWhile it's great for hydration, I didn't really feel much soothing effect. However, I think the boost in moisture could help with blemishes.
TipI believe this ampoule can be more effective for any skin type if sealed in with a rich cream, trapping all that wonderful hydration!

I've already tried the toner, emulsion, and foam cleanser. It's great that these low pH products don't cause irritation. The ampoule with two types of hyaluronic acid and panthenol is truly a double-duty product, tackling both hydration and skin barrier support. It has a slightly viscous texture that absorbs quickly into the skin. I'm even more impressed that it's pH-balanced and vegan. My skin feels so comfortable!
ConsThe fragrance-free formula was a bit surprising when I removed the packaging - it looked quite plain. It might be good to have some promotions or marketing in spring. When the seasons change, I really needed a cica ampoule for those pesky bumps!
TipThe cica ampoule absorbs even better if you follow up with a sheet mask or skin pad.

I received the product on the 15th and have been using it religiously, morning and night, up until today, the 26th. From the very first day, I noticed how incredibly hydrating it was. The hyaluronic acid didn't just sit on top of my skin but absorbed well. When I applied it at night, my skin felt sufficiently moisturized, and when I used it in the morning before makeup, it sank in beautifully, creating a perfect canvas for my cosmetics. I have super sensitive skin, so I need to use gentle products with minimal ingredients. Happily, I experienced no blemishes or discomfort with this essence. In conclusion, I'm so satisfied that I'm considering switching my essence step to this product. I plan to use it alongside my current products to see which one suits me better in the long run. Given its gentle formulation, I think it's unlikely to cause adverse reactions for most people, so I highly recommend it!
ConsThere wasn't anything I disliked about this product.

While not completely watery, it has a lightweight texture. Perfect for this season! After absorption, it leaves a soft, smooth feeling that refines skin texture. True to its 'Calming' name, it's great to apply after slight sun exposure - no irritation at all.
ConsDue to its light texture, a cream is definitely necessary. It might be challenging to use in winter, but should be fantastic for summer! The bottle becomes completely transparent when you remove the outer wrap, so it's best not to leave it by the window.
TipI have a sun allergy and struggled a bit after recent exposure. Applying this ampoule generously before my aloe soothing gel and letting it absorb worked wonders for calming my skin. This will likely become my go-to product for summer!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst off, I could immediately tell how gentle it was upon application! - Texture: It's a transparent liquid that flows smoothly like water! - It comes with a dropper! - Fragrance-free! - No tingling or blemishes appeared, and it absorbs well! - The finish felt firm, though some might find it a bit sticky? That's how the finish felt to me.
Cons- It's not a heavy formula, so as someone with dry skin, I felt it didn't provide enough hydration. I ended up layering it twice! I think it might work well for those with combination dehydrated skin or oily skin types! - I didn't see any remarkable soothing effects, so I'd say it's a decent, average product.
