It absorbs well and has a great texture.
ConsLet's be honest, the only downside to department store cosmetics is usually just the price, right? Personally, I find this better than the brown bottle.

It absorbs well and quickly, but doesn't feel like it's evaporating instantly. It leaves the skin feeling hydrated and nourished.
ConsThe strong alcohol scent was off-putting from the moment I dispensed it. The runny texture makes application a bit tricky. It contains 6 concerning ingredients, including PEG, BHT, and phenoxyethanol. What bothers me most is the unnecessary addition of colorants in a basic skincare product.

After applying, instead of feeling slippery, it actually gives a matte finish.
ConsEven right after application, it doesn't feel moisturizing. It's more like something just went into the skin. When I applied it in the evening and slept, I woke up with rough skin in the morning. The fermented ingredients might not suit me.

I used to be a skincare nomad, and even the slightest imbalance in oil and moisture would cause blemishes. But after using this ampoule, my oil and moisture balance has improved, and my skin texture has become so much better. I was also really stressed about redness on my nose and butterfly zone, but that has improved too. The moment I apply the ampoule, I can feel it absorbing well into my skin.
ConsIt's pricier compared to drugstore brands, but I think it's worth the cost.
TipI'm using it along with Estée Lauder's Nutritious line, and I think it's working well.

It absorbs well and feels great on the skin. The only issue is the price.
ConsThere's nothing wrong with it except for the cost. If it weren't so expensive, I'd definitely buy it again.

ConsI'm not sure about its soothing effects. The price is too high! And it's only 20ml...

It's great because it absorbs quickly, allowing for a light application. Unlike the rich brown bottle, its flowing texture doesn't feel heavy. Applying a thin layer before makeup to regulate skin temperature helps my makeup last longer too.
ConsIt's expensive... That's the only downside. Applying this alone isn't enough for hydration.
TipIf you purchase during Naver Live broadcasts, it's a bit cheaper and you get more samples. It works even better when used with the brown bottle. You might end up broke, but...

Cons1. The price of 20 ml exceeds 10,000 won, which is quite high.

I thought it was a light product since it had no viscosity. ✔️Spreadability Since it's so light, it absorbs quickly on the face. There's a slight stickiness left when I touch my face. ✔️Fragrance Personally, I think I know what the 'chemical-like smell' or the 'vinegar-mixed smell' that others mentioned is. I think there could be some disagreement on the fragrance, but I found it tolerable. Considering the product's effectiveness and various aspects, it's an average product.
Cons✔️Product Packaging Given the small 20ml volume, the dropper is designed to dispense a very small amount. This is quite inconvenient. There's an ideal amount I'd like to apply, but with just one pump of the dropper, the amount absorbed is extremely small, which is a bit frustrating.
Tip✔️Review Honestly, considering the price range and the effects, I think it's better to try out various products available in the market and find one that suits your skin. If this product is suitable for your skin and you have the financial means, you can use it. Personally, I didn't feel a strong need to use this brand at this price range. These days, there is a wide variety of cosmetics available, with ingredients that cater to consumer preferences, and we can also share diverse information. I recommend making a rational choice.

Although the formula is not light and is somewhat heavy, it absorbs quickly without feeling sticky when applied. I was cautious because it contains fermented ingredients, but I didn't experience any breakouts or other issues, and my skin felt comfortable using it. I think it would be better to use it in spring and fall rather than summer, as you can really feel the difference in moisturizing power compared to the serums I've used before. Even when I used it in the summer, it absorbed well and provided decent hydration and elasticity.
ConsThe product concept is 'rapid soothing', 'one-day soothing', and 'rescue', but I didn't really feel it had an effect on soothing. After using it for about a week, I felt it was more like a serum with good absorption, made with fermented ingredients, and suitable for oily skin, especially in spring and fall. It's difficult to give a definitive assessment in the very hot summer, but it seems to have good moisturizing power and a slightly heavier formula (without causing any breakouts). So it seems to help balance oil and moisture well. It's hard to expect rapid soothing as the marketing claims, and the product itself is not a spot treatment, but more of a moisturizing serum, so I don't think the shortcomings of the product are that significant. In summary, it doesn't provide rapid soothing. It's better to understand it as a fairly decent serum that helps balance oil and moisture, rather than expecting rapid soothing.
TipFor oily skin types, I think it would be great to use this from the beginning of fall when the cool winds start blowing!
