  Pros

  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.

  Cons

  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.

  Tip

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

  Pros

  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

  Cons

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

  Tip

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

  Pros

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

  Cons

  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.

  Pros

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

  Cons

  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.

  Pros

  It's great for lightweight application and provides excellent hydration. Reapplying eliminates deep dryness! It's perfect for sensitive, acne-prone skin and even helps reduce skin temperature.

  Cons

  The amount is too small for frequent reapplication... That's why I always stock up on two at a time.

  It feels a bit sticky at first, but as time passes, I can definitely tell it's providing great hydration. I really like that!

  Cons

  There's a sticky feeling to it. Apart from that, I don't have any complaints.

  Pros

  I've always avoided ampoules because I disliked the oily feeling, but as my skin started feeling drier, I decided to try this gentle one. What a surprise! After applying it, my skin feels much less oily, and even the tiny bumps on my forehead disappeared. I highly recommend this for those with super sensitive skin and combination dehydrated skin!

  Cons

  Apart from being gentle and non-irritating, it doesn't seem to have any other noticeable effects!

  Pros

  If you're looking for a basic ampoule with cica, this product is optimal in terms of price, ingredients, and functionality. The volume is generous, and its effectiveness exceeds expectations. It's moisturizing and absorbs well. While it might feel slightly dry after absorption, that's preferable to feeling sticky on the surface. During A'pieu Day sales, you can purchase the large size at a great discount.

  Cons

  Using it alone can be a bit tricky. There's a slight dryness, so you definitely need to layer it with a cream or moisturizer.

  Tip

  When applied together with the centella soothing cream from the same product line, the calming effect is doubled.

  Pros

  As summer approached, I often found it uncomfortable and burdensome to layer too many products on my skin. However, the moment I applied this product, I immediately felt how lightweight and gentle it was. With no stickiness, I realized it would be perfect for summer use. I think its biggest advantage is that anyone can use it without worry. Moreover, I used to experience sudden facial heat flashes quite often, but after using this for just over a week, it seems to help manage that heat sensation. It also appears to deeply hydrate and firm up my skin from within. I think this is a product I'd like to use consistently!

  Cons

  Drawbacks... I didn't really find any major issues while using it, but if I had to point something out, it would be the texture. When applied to the face, it has a runny consistency that flows down immediately. For those looking for a super thick serum, this might feel a bit too light!

  Tip

  Storing it in the refrigerator and applying it cool instantly calms any heat sensation! It seems great for a fresh and lightweight application.

  Pros

  Skin type: Combination (severe dehydration with excess oil production) To be honest, I never paid much attention to skincare before. I used to just wash my face and apply one essence, that's it! I focused more on makeup than skincare, but when my makeup started looking cakey, I realized I needed to care for my skin. This ampoule is great for beginners - it's easy to use and gentle enough for daily application. What I love most is how the dropper fills completely (unlike other ampoules), it's not greasy so you can layer it without feeling heavy, and it works well under makeup. While I'm not sure if my pores have shrunk, my skin definitely feels firmer. Recommended for beginners: Easy to use Convenient packaging: Dropper allows for easy control Layerable: Light texture allows for multiple applications Works under makeup Improves skin elasticity (firmer feeling)

  Cons

  Even though I don't have dry skin, those with dehydrated skin might find this a bit drying when used alone. Also, it takes a while to absorb, so if you're using it in the morning, make sure you have enough time. Not enough hydration for dehydrated skin when used alone Slow absorption time

  Tip

  I'm using this with a hyaluronic acid ampoule and the combination works great! It seems to address the slight lack of hydration. Also, using it with a beauty device like a booster healer really speeds up absorption, which is why I can use it in the mornings. The generous amount allows for multiple layers, so don't be afraid to apply liberally! Works well with hyaluronic acid ampoules Great combination when used with beauty devices Recommended for layering
