It has the characteristic thin oily texture of Hwahae. The scent is almost unscented but has a slightly sour note. It was not bothersome to me. If absorbed well, there was no problem applying the next step moisturizer or nourishing cream. However, it feels generally greasy. There was no irritating sensation.
ConsThe product's galactomyces content is a bit disappointing due to its oily nature. In the ampoule/serum stage, a lightweight and hydrating type would be preferable, and the final cream should have some oil content to make the skin feel moisturized. The exfoliating ingredients may be the reason for the slightly pilling sensation when applying makeup in the morning. The experience varies depending on skin condition, so it doesn't happen every day, but there are occasional instances of pilling. Overall, the usage experience was decent. I don't feel a strong need to use this product in the ampoule/serum stage. If hydration is the priority, a more moisturizing product would suffice, and if exfoliation is important, a simple scrub product could work just as well.
TipAfter cleansing, during the toning step, dampening a cotton pad with toner and applying 3-4 drops of ampoule, then wiping it off, gives a sense of the skin being slightly more refined. It feels less greasy and is also more quickly absorbed.

The rest of my skin is still very oily. ▪️Usage Period: Used daily for over 2 weeks Applied thinly once in the morning Applied multiple times in the evening -> I will explain the reason for using it this way below! ▪️Texture: A transparent liquid that flows smoothly like water ▪️Fragrance: Almost fragrance-free I think those sensitive to fragrance can use this comfortably ▪️Absorption: Since it contains 81% galactomyces ferment filtrate, it didn't feel like it absorbed immediately like water. It had a coating-like, slippery feel on the skin, and I had to keep patting it in for it to be gradually absorbed! Because of this, the Hwahae Serum didn't absorb well, and when I applied other essence products afterwards, they just slid off the skin. I recommend thoroughly patting it in for proper absorption.😊 ▪️What I Liked: True to its name, it contains galactomyces, so my skin texture became incredibly soft and smooth✨ I didn't need to exfoliate at all while using this product! My skin became that smooth and supple - the effects were amazing👍 My skin also felt plump and firm✨ With consistent use, I think it will strengthen my skin barrier✨ Since I have sensitive skin, I started by just using one drop and applying it thinly. After 3 days of adaptation, there was no irritation at all, so I started applying it multiple times. ▪️Who I'd Recommend It To: Those with frequent skin flakiness
Cons▪️Usage experience: At first, when I applied it several times, my skin's dead cells were slightly peeled off like flakes! In the morning, I had to get ready quickly, so I couldn't apply the next essence or cream, so I wiped it off with a toner again!😭 But after using it, my skin immediately became smooth and soft, and it seems like the dead skin is coming off like flakes! So I think it would be good to be aware of the precautions! ▪️Skin irritation: Since I have sensitive skin, I intentionally went through an adaptation period. At night, if I applied it too many times, a slightly reddish spot would appear🥺 The good thing is that it didn't spread to breakouts, and the next day, the trace disappeared without a trace! For those with sensitive skin, I hope you will test it and apply it thinly several times, going through an adaptation period🤗
TipThe level of irritation may vary depending on the skin type, so it is recommended to apply a thin layer only once at first.

The ampoule I used before had a runny texture, but this one is thinner, giving a lighter feel. It seems suitable for use in spring and summer, and in fall and winter, layering it two or three times would help with dryness. Since the texture is light, it's also suitable for using as a sheet mask by soaking a cotton pad. I'm very sensitive to scents, but this one has no scent at all, which I liked. I was a little hesitant about galactomyces because of the characteristic pungent scent of SK-II's Pitera, but this one seems fine.
ConsWhile creams may vary, after fully absorbing this product, the gel cream I applied afterwards still felt like it was sliding off. It was the AQUALABEL gel cream. It may be that this product doesn't work well with certain other products.
Tip(Especially in midsummer) when any cream feels too heavy, layering this product three times or so will leave you feeling intensely moisturized without any greasiness or stickiness!
