It really calms the skin after application. The container is light and small, perfect for carrying in your purse. I love the water-like texture - it feels more refreshing than heavier formulas.
ConsThere's a slight oily feeling during absorption, though it disappears completely once fully absorbed. No effect on blackheads - I wonder why they even included that claim.

Scent/Texture: As someone sensitive to fragrances, I found it almost unscented. The texture is quite thin, but it doesn't immediately run down your face when applied. 2. Acne: For the first day or two, my skin seemed to improve! As I'll mention later, my skin texture felt incredibly smooth, and my complexion looked brighter overall. However, 3-4 large blemishes and a few smaller ones appeared afterwards (not due to this product, it was just my acne cycle). These haven't subsided for 3-4 days now. Since I've only added this ampoule to my regular routine, it doesn't seem particularly effective at eliminating acne. 3. Soothing: It seems to calm the skin well! My usually severe redness has improved a bit. Overall, my skin feels more soothed, which might be why my skin texture looks more even and brighter. 4. Hydration: As someone with oily skin who really dislikes feeling greasy, especially in summer, I'm happy to report there's none of that with this product! It absorbs quickly, leaving no residue - so much so that you might wonder if you applied anything at all. I was concerned it might lead to deep dryness, but it seems to provide inner hydration too. Those with dry skin might find it insufficient on its own, but who uses just an ampoule anyway?! I think it's worth trying even for those with dry, acne-prone skin.
ConsI didn't really notice any downsides! The Hwahae product description mentions it can reduce blackheads and pores, but I haven't noticed any changes in those areas yet. However, it does say results are seen after 4 weeks of use, so I'll update after using it longer.

Texture: The consistency is very fluid with almost no viscosity. Application: The dropper is quite long, allowing you to use the product to the last drop. It only draws up about half the dropper, making it easy to control the amount. The serum flows like water and glides on smoothly, absorbing quickly. This is great because it doesn't interfere with the absorption of the cream I apply next! Even when my skin was acting up, it didn't cause any irritation. Scent: It's fragrance-free, so it should be suitable for everyone. Effectiveness: Before using this product, I had some blemishes. While it didn't dramatically calm my skin overnight, I noticed a gradual improvement and soothing effect over time.
ConsI didn't notice any improvement in dark spots or blackheads on my skin...

However, while I haven't felt much impact from popular soothing ampoules from Olive Young like Me*hil, this one showed noticeably impressive results! Reduces redness: I used this alongside a cica cream from another brand, which might have created a synergistic effect. But I definitely noticed that redness from acne marks faded faster compared to when I used the cica cream alone.
ConsDespite some ads claiming it's suitable for blackhead-prone skin, it doesn't actually help remove blackheads. I didn't notice any improvement in skin texture. Unfortunately, I also didn't see any improvement in pores.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAfter receiving the product I won from The Hwahae Testers, I stopped using my regular products and focused on using this one exclusively for my review. I've always wanted to try the famous Wellage ampoule, but since hyaluronic acid doesn't suit my skin very well, I was thrilled to try the 'Real Cica Calming 95' instead. As luck would have it, I had just developed some blemishes and even scarring from popping them, so it was the perfect time to test this product! This product contains high-purity cica ingredients and niacinamide (for brightening), which are said to be effective for blemishes (blackheads, whiteheads), deep skin soothing, and reducing the appearance of dark spots. From my experience: - The 'lightweight formula' is perfect for the warmer weather, making it comfortable to apply (I think it would be great for oily, blemish-prone skin). - The light texture absorbs quickly without pilling, even with multiple layers, making it ideal to use before makeup. - I saw noticeable improvement on my recent acne scars, which was the most satisfying aspect. Although I've only been using it for a short time and complete fading is difficult, the scars visibly lightened compared to before. (I also used a scar ointment, which I had been using before starting the ampoule) - The simple ingredient list caused no irritation, making it suitable for use even when my skin was feeling sensitive.
ConsWhile I was quite satisfied with the effective ingredients and results, if I had to point out any downsides: As mentioned in the positives, the lightweight formula left me wanting a bit more hydration after my evening cleanse. (I recommend layering it with other moisturizing products) Also, although it claims to be effective for blackheads and whiteheads, I didn't notice significant improvements in that area. (However, it didn't cause any additional blemishes, so that's fine).

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAbsorption: The Wellage Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule flows like water, but this product has just a tad more viscosity. Compared to other soothing serums (like B-plane Cicaterol Ampoule), it's much less viscous (less sticky), which I, with my oily skin, found extremely satisfying. It still applies moistly and leaves a refreshingly light finish. No oiliness or shine: As someone with oily skin, I pay attention to this aspect. There's very little oiliness or shine right after application or the next morning. I was considering switching from my usual B-plane Cicaterol, which is quite oily/sticky, and I'm very pleased with this aspect. Scent: It's fragrance-free. My previous B-plane Cicaterol had a peculiar smell that, while tolerable, was somewhat bothersome. I love that this one is unscented. Soothing effect: After a round of golf, I applied two generous layers before bed. In the morning, I could definitely feel that my sun-exposed skin had been soothed.
ConsBlemish (mark) improvement: As with Goodal's blemish serum, I haven't noticed any lightening of acne scars yet. Blackhead, whitehead, and sebum reduction: I haven't felt any improvement in this area either. I've never thought that these issues have decreased.
TipRedness recovery rate: I don't have redness issues, so I can't comment on this aspect. Deep hydration: As I don't tend to have dehydrated skin, I'm not sure how much it helps with deep hydration. The moisturizing and refreshing feeling persists after application. Highly recommended for oily skin!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI have combination dehydrated skin (oil explosion during seasonal changes in summer), sensitive skin, redness, visible pores, blemishes, and poor skin texture. While I don't get many pustular acne, my skin is extremely sensitive. When I use products that don't suit me, my skin condition can change drastically after just one day of use. I have to buy new products every season, and I have many unused products that didn't work for me. I've always wanted to try this product, and I was lucky enough to be selected as a Hwahae Tester. It was my first time using the Wellage brand, so I had high expectations. This ampoule applies smoothly without any issues. There were no inconveniences with the packaging or application. Price-wise, Wellage seems to offer frequent discounts, so if you buy it then and it suits you, you'll likely feel very satisfied with the value for money. It's on the lighter side among ampoules (not watery like a toner though - for that, you'd be better off using an actual toner). I've been using thicker ampoules recently, so I applied this one more generously, which seemed to work better. It also showed good results on blemishes when applied liberally. During my testing period, I had my menstrual cycle, and I noticed significantly fewer chin breakouts than usual - almost none at all. I definitely felt the blemish-improving effects. Also, as the weather is getting warmer and my skin is producing more oil, this lighter formula seems to suit me better. I used it both morning and night, and even when applied in the morning, it didn't feel oily, so I could use it before makeup. I'm not sure if it's okay to store in the refrigerator during summer... There's no strong scent, so it should be fine for those sensitive to fragrances. I'm quite satisfied as I didn't experience any discomfort or breakouts while using this product. I was hesitant to buy it because other companies' cica products didn't suit me, and I thought cica itself might not be for me. But I'm glad I got the chance to try this one. It's good enough that I would consider repurchasing.
ConsIt seems difficult to feel a significant skin-soothing effect from the ampoule alone. I haven't seen any visible improvements in redness reduction or blackhead improvement yet. Since it's not primarily a hydrating ampoule, it may lack in moisture. Those with dry skin should make sure to apply a good cream afterwards. As the usage period wasn't very long, I plan to continue using it and update my review later!
TipApply generously rather than in small amounts. For combination dehydrated skin - use from spring to early fall. For oily skin - can be used all year round.

Texture The texture is like clear water but with a slight richness, almost like a slightly dense water formula? When applied to the face, it's not heavy at all and absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling hydrated. The runny consistency means you need to be careful when dispensing it with the dropper! 2. Fragrance It's almost completely fragrance-free! 3. Soothing effect I usually have some redness, but when I apply this in the evening and wake up the next morning, my face looks noticeably calmer and brighter. I didn't have any blemishes, acne, or whiteheads to test it on, but it definitely seems to help with redness and gives a soothing effect to rough skin texture! 4. Great for oily skin It absorbs completely without any heaviness, and there's none of that stickiness typical of serums! When applied right after cleansing, it feels super hydrating and absorbs well without any irritation. My skin feels so comfortable!
Cons1. Not effective for blackheads To be honest, nothing really works for blackheads... I had hoped this might help since it contains a small amount of BHA, but it didn't have any effect. 2. Slightly drying I have a very weak skin barrier and thin skin, but it's oily. So I focus on hydration, but this ampoule was a bit lacking in that department. After applying it and waiting a while, I felt the need to apply a moisturizer as my skin felt slightly dry. However, I think it would be perfect for summer!
TipFor a more hydrating application, try applying it twice or keep it in the bathroom and apply generously right after washing your face! This will leave your skin feeling full of hydration.

Texture - Has a water-like, fluid consistency. - Lightweight and absorbs well. Feel - Provides excellent hydration. Leaves skin feeling slightly firm after application. Calming - Caused no irritation to my skin and has great soothing effects. - I had a blemish pop up recently, but it disappeared after using this for about a week. - My skin texture has improved, with fewer small bumps. Marks - While it didn't affect old hyperpigmentation, it was effective on new blemish marks! They fade much faster than usual. Packaging - The dropper is a bit stiff, so you need to apply some force when extracting the product. The calming effect was fantastic, and I loved how it felt on my skin. I'm definitely considering repurchasing! It seems like it would be great for summer use too!
ConsSince I have particularly severe blackheads, I didn't notice much improvement in that area, unfortunately.
TipTry layering the ampoule about 3 times and then applying a modeling mask - it's amazing! Your skin will feel incredibly soft the next day. You must give it a try!

Texture: Lightweight, absorbs well. Pros: [Soothing] Recently, my skin has been feeling hot, irritated, and tingly. This product really helped calm it down. I think it's the first ampoule I've used that feels soothing deep into the skin. Rather than immediate relief, you feel the calming effect gradually as it absorbs. While it may not visibly reduce redness much, you can feel the internal heat and irritation subsiding. [Non-irritating] I experienced zero irritation. I have quite sensitive facial skin and usually feel discomfort when switching skincare products (even if they end up suiting me later). However, this product felt comfortable from the first use, which made me realize it's truly non-irritating. Of course, this may vary from person to person. [Blemish improvement] It definitely lightened my hyperpigmentation. I'll attach a photo. Dark spots have gradually faded to light freckle-like marks. (I used it consistently from 2/27 to 3/10, often layering it twice a day. Please keep this in mind.) Given its positive effects on soothing, non-irritation, and blemish improvement, I intend to repurchase.
ConsCons: [Blemishes, sebum production] I'm not sure about improvements in sebum production. Blackheads and whiteheads remain unchanged so far. While continued use might make a difference, existing small bumps, blackheads, and whiteheads haven't improved... It remains to be seen whether it will affect future blackhead formation with more use. [Hydration] I didn't feel like it provided intense hydration. I needed to layer it about twice to address deep dryness to some extent. [Skin texture] I'm not sure about texture improvement. While it was good for irritated, blotchy skin due to its soothing properties, you might be disappointed if you're solely looking for texture refinement. It seems to run out quite quickly. You might find it a bit pricey. I recommend purchasing it when it's on sale!
