Wrinkle improvement I have very thin skin around my eyes, so when I smile, fine lines appear at the corners of my eyes and upper cheeks. The improvement in these expression lines was so noticeable that I could feel the difference right away. Healthy and lightweight oil ⭐⭐⭐ As someone with combination skin, I'm naturally sensitive to clogged pores and oiliness. However, the oil in this ampoule feels incredibly light when you touch your skin after application. It's as if your skin can still breathe? There's plenty of oil, but it doesn't feel heavy or suffocating. I consider Physiogel to have a healthy oil content, but this is much lighter. I experienced no clogged pores at all. (+) Update after 1 month of use: My mom and I used it together, and she asked me to buy another one as soon as she finished it! She has a skin type with lots of age spots and freckles, but she says this makes them less noticeable and praises how it's really moisturizing without being heavy. She's also happy that her overall complexion seems brighter. For reference, my mom is in her early 50s with dry skin and isn't very sensitive to cosmetics. As I mentioned before, her skin is easily affected by UV rays, so I think she saw good results.
ConsMakeup breakdown for combination skin As someone with combination skin, it's a bit difficult to apply makeup over this in the morning. Before lunch, my foundation was already breaking down due to the oil. For reference, I use Etude Double Lasting Foundation, which is usually a long-lasting beast that stays put until I wash it off when I do light skincare... but it can't withstand this ampoule. If you need to use it during the day, a no-sebum powder is a must. (+) Update after 1 month of use: I developed cheilitis around my lips. After applying, it keeps itching, and during the day, it hardens. It's more like a scab than dead skin cells...? The texture was so nice and had good effects on my skin, but no matter how much I tried to avoid my lips when applying, it seems to migrate towards them when I layer other products on top. So I stopped using it and gave it to my mom! For reference, I have sensitive skin that easily develops atopic dermatitis when I'm tired or not in good condition.
TipEven if you have combination skin, try it as a night treatment first. You might be hesitant due to reviews mentioning high oil content, but the nature of this oil is quite different from others. In fact, combination skin might see even greater benefits from this ampoule because the oil lasts longer. I felt an improvement in firmness after just one day. Recommended usage for combination skin I apply just one pump's worth in the evening. Half a pump is not only difficult to control but also less effective due to the reduced amount. When I applied two pumps, my face looked white like I'd applied sunscreen and didn't absorb well. I think it might have been designed with a pump dispenser to ensure consistent use of the right amount. While using it during the day might maximize its effects, the oil content makes makeup break down too easily, so I'll probably only reach for it during makeup-free weekends for daytime use.
