However, it doesn't absorb super quickly. This was my first time using an ampoule in a tube format, as I've mostly used dropper-style ampoules before. Surprisingly, I found this quite nice! Pros and things I liked: 1. Quick soothing effect without irritation 2. No deep dryness or tightness, excellent hydration 3. Made with fermented probiotics, effective for strengthening the skin barrier The scent is typical of skincare hydrating ampoules - close to unscented with a slight cosmetic fragrance. I think this would be more suitable for dry skin with deep dehydration rather than oily skin types.
ConsWhile there were no blemishes or irritation, as someone with dry combination skin, I felt the absorption could be a bit better. Instead of a fresh finish, it leaves a moist feeling, so my face looked shiny for quite a while. I think finishing with a rich cream would create a glowy look.
TipI recommend applying it generously in the evening! It might be too hydrating for daytime use and could cause some pilling with makeup~

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.ProsFirst off, the texture is transparent and gel-like. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous and so convenient to use! Being clear, it's easy to see how much product is left, and you can tell they've really put thought into the nozzle design. It's also super easy to control the amount, making the overall user experience fantastic! True to its name, it applies silky smooth, though personally, I find the scent a bit strong. While the ingredients are great, the added fragrance might be hit or miss for some. It's hydrating and absorbs well, finishing with a light feel rather than being sticky. It seems to have a calming effect, and I haven't experienced any blemishes, so I'm happily using it. When my skin feels dry, I layer it multiple times, allowing for thorough absorption, which seems to strike a good balance between oil and moisture.
ConsWhile the scent itself is pleasant, it feels a bit artificial. I think it would be even better if it were fragrance-free.
TipAfter applying toner, you could use this like a mask for extra hydration. It would also be great for facial massage with a gua sha tool, as its smooth texture allows for easy gliding.

I loved that the lightweight, slim, and elongated container was perfect for travel - I took it on a business trip and found it very portable. The slim nozzle allows for direct application to the face, and the formula is a transparent, hydration-packed serum. True to its fluid consistency, it absorbs well and deeply hydrates without any dryness. When applied during morning skincare, my cheeks remained soft and supple even in the afternoon, significantly reducing the need for mist touch-ups! It seems to combat deep dryness and enhance moisture retention. I was extremely satisfied with both the user experience and functionality.
ConsI wish the scent was closer to unscented. For me, it had a slight old-fashioned cosmetic fragrance? It's that common cosmetic scent you often encounter, which was a bit disappointing. If the fragrance had been milder, I could have applied it more generously without worry. However, it didn't cause any blemishes.
TipAs this is a hydration-packed serum with minimal oiliness, it's best to follow up with a moisturizing or hydrating cream to create a moisture barrier. This will help prevent evaporation and maintain hydration longer! True to its 'Silky' name, the finish isn't sticky, so don't hesitate to layer it with a cream.

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.ProsFirst off, the absorption is fantastic! Despite being an ampoule, it's not sticky at all. Instead, it feels wonderfully hydrating and glides on smoothly. I love how easily it applies! It absorbs quickly too, so there's no lingering stickiness after application. This means my skin doesn't feel suffocated or uncomfortable. It's great for all seasons, so I think I'll be able to use it comfortably even as the weather gets warmer. I'm also in love with the packaging! I've only ever used ampoules with droppers before, but this tube format makes it easier to control the amount and seems more hygienic. Best of all, I didn't experience any blemishes while using it. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product!
ConsThere wasn't really anything I disliked, but if I had to pick something, maybe the scent? The ingredients are excellent, but the fragrance was a bit stronger than I expected. However, scent preferences are really subjective... I was okay with it, but I'm not sure how others might feel.

I absolutely love this product! As someone with sensitive combination dehydrated skin, it's perfect for me. The application is smooth without any stickiness, and it leaves a beautiful glow on my face after use. It absorbs well, and when I layer an essence-type product over this ampoule, it sinks in properly without feeling sticky. With consistent use, I've noticed my skin's deep dryness has disappeared, and my complexion has a lovely glow. I'm 100% going to repurchase this!
ConsI didn't really find any downsides while using this product. However, for those with oily skin types, using too much might lead to excess oil on the face. If you decide to use it, applying a small amount might not be a bad idea.
TipI used this after applying a water-type ampoule first. Then, I followed up with the X:MI ampoule, layered an essence product, and finished with a hydrating cream. This routine left my face feeling moisturized without any stickiness.

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.ProsThe texture and color are a pale milky white, like a colorless toner with a hint of white emulsion mixed in. It has a slight viscosity that doesn't run easily. The application and absorption are excellent. It spreads well and absorbs nicely. After absorption, you can feel a slight glow, as if your skin is coated with moisture, as shown in the hand photo. Note that it doesn't have the fresh, watery feel of some essences. The hydration is fantastic. It's perfect for seasonal changes or winter when you're looking for a moisturizing essence. I have sensitive combination skin, but I didn't experience any itching or blemishes while using it. Even if you have oily skin, it's great to use when your skin feels dry. I like to use it before applying drying acne treatments to add moisture. It would be perfect for those with dry skin.
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, the scent could use some improvement. It's hard to describe - maybe a soap-like scent? There's a subtle fragrance that I personally don't care for. I think it would be better if it were unscented, or if that's not possible due to the ingredients, perhaps a fresh herbal scent would be nice.
TipWhen you want extra hydration, try applying it once, letting it absorb a bit, then layering it again. The hydration is so good that you might not even need a moisturizing cream afterwards.

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.ProsHere's my review of the Exmee Silky Barrier Soo Ampoule after using it for two weeks: The absorption is fantastic - it glides on smoothly and feels wonderfully hydrating. After application, there's a light, non-greasy oil-like coating that keeps your skin feeling moisturized for hours without being heavy. The texture is a slightly thin, translucent white. Unlike other ampoules that are so watery they drip everywhere when you try to apply them, this one is 100% usable without any waste! It's a gentle formula that should work for all skin types. I have combination dehydrated skin with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks, and it suits me perfectly. What I love most is how hydrating it is. As a bonus, the packaging is absolutely gorgeous! The ampoule comes in a luxurious bottle that's easy to dispense from. Unlike other ampoules where you have to fiddle with droppers, this one's so convenient to use that I find myself reaching for it often.
ConsI honestly can't think of any downsides. It worked really well for me.
TipAs the weather's getting warmer and my skin tends to feel hot, I've been applying the ampoule with a cooling roller. It doubles the refreshing sensation - it feels amazing!

It's a liquid-type ampoule that spreads so smoothly! Not sticky at all! I love how it absorbs so well, leaving skin hydrated! It even tackles deep dryness effectively. ✓ Strengthening Skin Barrier When I first received it, it said 'Strengthens Skin Barrier', so I trusted it and used it right away! I've been struggling with folliculitis, and after using this, my skin really seems to have calmed down a lot. ✓ Recommended Skin Types With its light and moisturizing texture, I think it would be great for all skin types! ✓ Scent This is a bit disappointing... I usually use fragrance-free, gentle products, so when I first applied it, the cosmetic scent was too strong... It was a letdown! Now I'm used to it after daily use, but I think fragrance-free would be better. ✓ Tube Type It's my first time using a tube-type ampoule, and I think it's great! Unlike dropper types that keep getting exposed, this feels more hygienic as you squeeze it out to use. Personally, this has been the most satisfying product I've won as a Hwahae Tester!
ConsThe strong cosmetic scent is really disappointing. Everything else is absolutely satisfying!
TipI've been interested in strengthening my skin barrier due to folliculitis, and I think my skin has improved a lot after using this! Also, since it's not a sticky formula, it's perfect to use before makeup! It absorbs really well and leaves skin super hydrated!

Absorption: It's packed with hydration, but once it absorbs, there's no residue! This is fantastic. Many serums often leave a sticky feeling, but this one doesn't, making the user experience incredibly satisfying. 2. Quality ingredients: Lately, I've been scrutinizing product ingredients when buying cosmetics. I was pleased to see that this product is formulated without any harmful components! The texture is closer to a hydrating gel than a typical serum. It absorbs into the skin without any runny feeling. Keep that in mind!
ConsIf I had to nitpick one downside... the bottle keeps tipping over. If it weren't for that, it would be perfect!

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.Pros- Usage Period: Used for 15 days from April 13th to April 28th. - Texture: Light, slightly moisturizing, and semi-transparent formula. - Application: The lightweight texture spreads smoothly without any stickiness. - Finish: Leaves a silky feel and provides a light hydration to the skin. (Note: While sufficient for oily skin, it may not provide enough moisture alone for dry or combination skin types!) - Scent: Difficult to describe precisely, but familiar. A common fragrance often found in cosmetics. (Note: The scent was not at all bothersome during use) - Blemish Control and Irritation: No issues with breakouts that typically occur with incompatible products. No redness or skin irritation observed. - Recommended Skin Types: Suitable as a mid-routine ampoule for oily skin, and as a light hydrating step for dry or combination skin. (Note: Not recommended for extremely dry skin) - Repurchase Intention: While not necessary if already using a hydrating ampoule, I might consider purchasing after finishing my current product due to its lightweight nature. Although I didn't see dramatic results in two weeks, my skin felt more resilient even during exam period, so I'm inclined to repurchase.
ConsAs it's marketed as a skin barrier strengthening ampoule, I expected to see more immediate results. However, it was difficult to observe dramatic effects in just two weeks of use.
TipBest applied after toner and before cream. I think this might be why my skin held up well during exam period despite lack of sleep! Definitely recommend it.
