Due to the shea butter content, I noticed it's 'not a lightly absorbing ampoule' when applying. However, it's not a formula that sits on top of the skin, but rather one that finishes with a plump feel. Personally, I felt it was slightly heavy for an ampoule in this hot and humid weather. Nevertheless, when used to minimize my routine, applying this ampoule followed by a light summer cream for the moisturizer step provided a good oil-moisture balance. ⚠️Note: If you apply too much or don't provide enough hydration in the previous steps, it can leave a white cast as shown in the attached reference photo.⚠️ Brightening Effect Honestly, I didn't expect a brightening effect after just one day, but the next morning I noticed a clearer complexion. With consistent use, I believe it could improve skin tone. Hydrating Effect As mentioned in the texture section, it contains shea butter, so for those with combination or combination dehydrated skin, this alone might be sufficient for a night routine after one layer of hydration! In the photo, I applied too much (poor amount control), which left a slightly heavy feeling on my skin. I've been neglecting my skincare lately (+ the brutal weather), so my skin condition isn't great. I'll use this consistently and update weekly.
ConsAnti-wrinkle Effect As expected, I couldn't find any noticeable effects after just a week of use. I think the lack of visible results might also be due to the current hot and humid weather causing skin to sag. I'll apply it consistently for 4 weeks and update with after photos of my skin condition. Amount Control is Essential Personally, I feel skin tightness even with a slightly excessive application of shea butter, so controlling the amount was crucial for me.

I have a habit of sleeping on my side, and I always wake up with dry cheeks. But on the days I used this product, I definitely noticed my cheeks were less dry the next morning. I couldn't see a dramatic change in wrinkle reduction, probably because it's only been a short time, but just considering how well it moisturizes, I think it's definitely helping to prevent new wrinkles from forming.
ConsTo be honest, I didn't notice the wrinkle improvement effects as much as the product description claims. I think consistent use might have a positive impact, but at this point, after short-term use, it's a stretch to say the wrinkles have visibly faded. Also, because it's summer and the rainy season, the weather has been very humid. When I apply this product and then put on makeup, it feels a bit heavy and stuffy. I noticed my skin became oilier than usual, which caused my makeup to melt and pill faster. It might be better to use this as part of a nighttime skincare routine.
TipIf I notice any additional effects after continued use, I'll write an update.

It absorbs nicely into the skin, creating a perfect canvas for makeup in the morning. When used at night, I wake up to skin that feels just right - adequately moisturized and soft. That's why I love using it even in summer. In summer, I skip cream and just use this. For other seasons, I'll use it as an ampoule in the middle of my skincare routine. - Blemishes: Despite my concerns about summer use, I didn't experience any blemishes from this product.
ConsAs someone with dry skin, I use and love this product even in summer. However, for those with very oily skin or combination dehydrated skin that gets oily in summer, it might feel a bit heavy during the warmer months. For these skin types, I'd recommend using it in fall and winter instead!

I dare say it's hands down the best I've ever used! Let me list the advantages I've experienced: 1. Brightening & Skin Radiance You can visibly see your skin becoming slightly fairer and incredibly translucent after application! As someone with a darker complexion who's obsessed with brightening, I love that this product not only has a brightening effect but also gives my skin a transparent glow, making my complexion look fantastic! There's no pilling or heavy feeling when I apply foundation or sunscreen over this serum! 2. Lightweight yet Firm Texture In summer, I prefer products that aren't sticky and absorb quickly. This serum has a smooth, runny texture that absorbs rapidly upon application. Instead of being sticky, it gives a firming sensation that seems to hold my skin in place! 3. Gentle on Skin I've experienced absolutely no skin irritation or tingling sensation while using this product!
ConsDespite its lightweight feel, I did notice a slight tightness right after application! It wasn't significant enough to be concerning, but I initially worried about potential blemishes. However, after a few minutes, as it absorbs into the skin, that tight feeling is completely forgotten as the brightening and radiance effects become apparent! Given that I didn't develop any pimples or other issues, it seems this was just a temporary sensation before absorption. After a few days, my skin adapted perfectly!
TipI always use this when I go out bare-faced! My skin tends to be on the darker side, but this product seems to inhibit melanin production, resulting in a brightening effect along with a natural skin glow!

The scent is typical of emulsions, almost fragrance-free. After using this ampoule, you can feel your skin becoming smoother with a noticeable Inner Glow. While it's an anti-aging product, I couldn't see significant wrinkle improvement during the short review period. However, it might help slow down the aging process by maintaining skin health. The ampoule absorbs quickly, provides some hydration, and has a pleasantly light feel that lasts. This suggests it's good for the skin barrier. It should work well for combination dehydrated skin types too.
ConsOne drawback is the dropper bottle, which needs improvement. It feels inconvenient and frustrating to use. While the product formulation and feel are truly excellent, I question whether it's worth the high price. With this budget, you could find other products with good ingredients and hydration. I doubt many would insist on using this specific ampoule. It feels like something you'd appreciate as a gift but hesitate to buy yourself. It's undoubtedly a good product, but lacks the differentiation to justify opening your wallet. In the competitive cosmetics market, it needs more to stand out. The quality is there, but it's expensive. I can't shake the feeling that it's not great value for money, especially considering the many excellent alternatives available at the same price point.
TipThis ampoule works synergistically well when combined with a rubber modeling mask.

It was quite rich, giving a moisturizing and oily sensation. Since it's marketed as an anti-photoaging product, and living in Busan where the sun is strong, I had high hopes for its effectiveness when I tried it.
ConsI have combination skin with an oily T-zone and dry U-zone. While the hot weather might have played a part, the oily texture of the product seemed to cause issues. Even though I only used it as a serum after toner in the summer, I started breaking out the very next day. I don't usually have acne-prone skin, so I think it made my skin feel a bit suffocated. I'm hoping it might be more suitable during the fall-winter transition period, but for now, the blemishes have been quite stressful.
