I recommend this for those times when the humidity is high and you feel uncomfortable not applying anything to your skin.

Due to the heavier feel after the product's reformulation, I probably won't repurchase it anymore.

When humidity is high, most products make my skin oily and sticky quickly, but this one absorbs well immediately and doesn't sit on top of the skin.

마데카소사이드 테트라좀 시카 앰플

The amount you get for the price seems a bit on the low side. That's a bit disappointing.

My acne had gotten really bad, so I was looking for a simple serum that would just provide hydration without any extra frills. I've been using this for about a week now, and I haven't experienced any new blemishes, which makes me think it's quite gentle on the skin.

This product seems to be a safe, middle-of-the-road option. It's suitable for daily use but doesn't offer any extraordinary benefits. It might be a good choice for those looking for a basic, no-fuss skincare item that gets the job done without any bells and whistles.

While there's nothing particularly disappointing about it, there's also nothing that really stands out as exceptional.

It's a pleasantly lightweight formula that's easy to apply for everyday use. The consistency is just right - not too thick, not too watery.

If I had to point out one drawback, it would be the price compared to the amount you get. It runs out so quickly!

This is my fifth time repurchasing this product. It seems to suit my skin perfectly. I haven't found another product that provides such excellent hydration and soothes my skin as well as this one does.

For those with dry skin, applying this and then layering another serum on top works wonderfully.

There aren't any notable functional benefits, so I use it more as a daytime serum before makeup rather than as part of my nighttime routine.

Perfect for replenishing deep hydration in the morning. It's a refreshing water-based formula with a great balance of absorption and moisture. The texture leaves almost no oily residue, making it versatile. I find myself reaching for it so often that I'm already on my second bottle.

Still, given its affordable price, I can't think of a more cost-effective skincare option. I'll definitely be repurchasing - 100% sure!

The downside is that because each dropper contains so much product, you might go through the bottle faster than expected

I'm really enjoying this affordable serum that comes in a generous 50ml size (larger than other serums)!

I first tried it during Missha's 25th anniversary sale for just 9,900 won, and here's what I love:
✅ The long dropper dispenses a substantial amount with one squeeze (though you might need to adjust the quantity)
✅ While it doesn't deliver dramatically visible results, it absorbs well and leaves my skin feeling wonderfully hydrated
✅ It's gentle enough that I'd recommend it even for students with sensitive skin

I used it up faster than expected. It would be nice if there was a larger size available.

It absorbs well and applies smoothly. It really suited my skin. Great for sensitive skin like mine!

Unfortunately, everything feels disappointing after the reformulation. The previous version had a more water-like texture with no stickiness, but the new formula feels heavier and slightly sticky. While it's not overly bothersome, the lack of stickiness was a big plus for combination dehydrated skin, so it's a letdown. Despite being called 'Madecassoside 2x', the new product doesn't seem as effective for blemish marks as the original, which had noticeably good results. The '2x' claim feels unwarranted as I can barely notice any effects.

Works well as a moisturizer for combination dehydrated skin without feeling heavy. The lightweight formula makes it great for summer use too.

There's not much to complain about. I noticed that Coupang often offers good discounts on this product. I'm using it well and will continue to use it consistently.

I really loved how it absorbs smoothly without feeling sticky. The texture is also great, providing good hydration. It feels refreshing on the skin.

It's great to use for hydration. You could even turn it into a mist for added convenience.

While it's mild, I didn't notice any other benefits. I used it daily, morning and night, for 3 weeks.

It's gentle, so it doesn't cause any blemishes. It absorbs quickly and doesn't feel sticky.

This works especially well for soothing blemishes when used together with the A'pieu Tea Tree Spot Serum sold at Daiso. For those who still experience itching, mixing it with an emulsion or cream can make it more comfortable to use.

Initially, it caused itching, and scratching actually worsened my skin condition at first. However, with continued use, the itching subsides and the calming effects become more noticeable. If you can endure the itching for about 2-3 days, you'll see the true value of the product. (I suspect the itching might be due to high concentrations of madecassoside and Cica ingredients.) When I tried it again recently, I didn't experience as much itching.

For an ampoule, it has a surprisingly lightweight texture. It's a great formulation for everyone to use comfortably in summer. It applies lightly and absorbs quickly. It helps reduce prominent blemishes and redness. It seems particularly suitable for students with oily skin. I got to try it through a giveaway event, and now I'm really curious about their cream and other product formulations. Recently, I used it again and found it incredibly helpful for improving skin texture.
