ConsI bought it because they said it had a cooling effect, and wow, it's so great! I didn't even expect this kind of reaction, but I'm the fool for only expecting this much. What's so refreshing about it?

First, looking at the serum, it contains small green particles that quickly spread and absorb when gently massaged. I thought these green particles might be a bit irritating, but they weren't at all. They dissolved rapidly without causing any irritation. This product actually focuses on blemish care and soothing. While I don't have acne-prone skin, so I can't speak to that specifically, I can say that even when my skin was sensitive, it didn't sting at all. In fact, it felt quite soothing. Another advantage of this product is its hydration! Before trying it, I saw reviews saying it lacked moisture, so I didn't expect much. However, I was surprised by how moisturizing it actually was. The hydration was better than I anticipated, making it suitable even for my dry skin. The moisture level feels sufficient for use from now until midsummer.
ConsWhile there aren't many downsides, if I had to mention one, it would be that the cooling effect mentioned in the product description wasn't as noticeable as I expected.
TipSince I found this product to be as hydrating as the Bifida serum, those who use the Bifida serum and are concerned about blemishes might find this a good alternative to try!

The finish feels clean and fresh. While it may not provide intense hydration, its lightweight nature makes it perfect for summer use. I occasionally felt some deep dryness. The oil capsules burst smoothly, which made application a breeze! I've used products where the capsules don't break easily, leaving residue on my face - so inconvenient. But with this Abib product, the capsules burst effortlessly, which I loved the most.
ConsI was disappointed that it didn't have a significant soothing or cooling effect. It also didn't show much improvement for blemishes.

In severe cases, philtrum may become red, swollen, and flaky. Under-eye area stings and burns if rubbed in Other vitamin C derivatives work well unless skin is sensitive !Good! ■Texture Watery texture that's not sticky, feels refreshing. I rarely use toners lately, but this works great as a first essence ■Ingredients Praise the Cica gods! I usually get along well with centella products and try most of them. While the concentration isn't high, it contains the key centella component TECA, which I expected to work well - and it did! I tend to stress about chin blemishes during that time of the month, and this helped soothe my skin. Rather than providing instant relief, it makes my skin feel comfortable and less irritated Houttuynia cordata doesn't suit my skin quite as well as centella, so I had my mom (50s, dry skin) who loves houttuynia try it. She said it didn't irritate her skin and felt refreshing ■Volume Most serums these days come in 30ml unless they're large sizes. As someone who uses serums instead of toners, 30ml disappears in less than a month... 50ml feels quite generous
ConsㅠBADㅠ ■Cooling? Without refrigeration, I didn't notice much of a cooling effect. I was hoping for some relief after washing my face when it feels hot from work, but ironically this seemed to warm up on my skin ■Let me pop those capsules Unless you completely open the cap and shake it, the capsules don't come out easily... I wanted to burst them onto my hand, which was a bit frustrating
TipFor those using serums instead of toners, try this as your first essence. Both the texture and ingredients are very suitable

This product, being a 'soothing care' item, truly excels in calming the skin. Recently, due to the sudden heat wave, my skin became irritated with blemishes and redness. However, this product visibly reduced the redness upon application. It was particularly effective in soothing blemishes. I have combination dehydrated skin, so I prefer lightweight yet hydrating products. This one perfectly combines the freshness of a serum with the hydration of an ampoule. After applying it twice, my skin feels moisturized without any deep dryness or heaviness. The green capsules in the product seem to provide the soothing effect, and it's oddly satisfying to burst them while applying. Overall, it's an excellent serum that didn't cause any irritation or blemishes.
ConsWhile there weren't any major drawbacks, it was slightly disappointing that the capsules didn't come out easily with the dropper. Also, being a soothing serum, it would have been nice to have a slight cooling effect. I felt a slight warmth after application.
TipHighly recommended as a summer serum for those with oily skin. It might be a bit drying for those with dry skin types.

I was especially looking forward to its gentle blemish-soothing properties, and it didn't disappoint. My skin had been acting up recently, but this was perfect to use without any irritation. It's great for both night routines and before daily makeup - truly versatile! There's no stickiness at all, and once it absorbs, you're left with this wonderfully plump, hydrated feeling. It creates an excellent base for makeup without any pilling. Formula: Interestingly, it has these green capsules in the serum. They're not hard at all, and the serum itself absorbs well. The capsules burst easily, making it completely non-irritating to use. I think this is an ampoule that would work well for most people!
ConsIt doesn't provide a noticeable cooling effect. While I could feel it calming my blemishes, it doesn't actually reduce heat or warmth. If you're after a cooling effect, I'd recommend storing it in the fridge before use.
TipIt's a bit pricey so I can't use it too often, but it's great as a special treatment when you feel blemishes coming on. Try using it as part of an ampoule-toner-mask routine for your base skincare. Also, highly recommend using this before makeup. The finish is so smooth that your makeup applies beautifully over it!

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.ProsAs a member of The Hwahae Testers, I'm here to give you my honest review. - Packaging: The delivery was meticulous, with ample protective packaging. The product itself came in a clean, fresh-looking container that I really liked. The dropper's rubber top was just the right size, making it easy to use. - Scent: There's barely any fragrance, which is great. I detected a very faint herbal scent, but even as someone sensitive to smells, I found it completely inoffensive. It's a scent that should work for everyone. - Hydration: One press of the dropper provides enough product to hydrate your entire face. It absorbs well with minimal stickiness - just pat it in a few times and your skin drinks it right up. This makes it perfect for hot summer days. - Blemish Soothing: With all the pollen in the air lately, I've been wearing my mask more often after applying makeup, which led to some blemishes around my cheeks and nose. However, when I used this product as part of my nighttime routine, applying it twice after my toner and letting it absorb fully, I noticed significant improvement in calming my skin by the next morning.
Cons- Cooling Effect: Despite the product description mentioning a cooling effect, I didn't experience any. Perhaps storing it in the refrigerator would help achieve this sensation. - Ingredients: Upon examining the ingredient list, I noticed a few that might be questionable. Depending on individual skin types, some people might find these ingredients irritating, so caution is advised.
TipWhen you're dealing with blemishes, try applying this product two or three times after your toner, making sure it absorbs well each time. It really helps soothe the skin!

I applied for this product because it's a houttuynia cordata serum. 1. No fragrance 2. The capsules burst easily 3. It has a calming effect. Originally, I had widespread redness on my cheeks, but after applying, the redness is reduced to just a small rosy area.
Cons1. No cooling effect. It's just okay. 2. Can't quickly apply it when in a hurry. The capsules do burst easily, but sometimes they remain partially intact or occasionally a whole capsule is left, so you need to check in the mirror at least once. 3. It seems like a lot of capsules should come out, but they don't. The ones stuck to the dropper stem since opening don't come out at all...
Tip1. It might be worth buying when it's on sale.

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.ProsSkin type: Shade 21, combination dehydrated skin with oily T-zone. Occasional blemishes on the chin. Skin can flare up once or twice a year if I'm not careful with my diet. I have thin skin! Usage period: 2 weeks Texture: Fluid consistency, but not too runny. It has a slightly viscous texture. Application: Absorbs well without any stickiness, glides smoothly on the skin. Scent: Almost fragrance-free (Great for those sensitive to fragrances. I really enjoyed using it as I usually avoid products with added fragrances. Very satisfying!) Pros: Gentle on the skin with no irritation. Didn't cause any blemishes during use. After application, skin feels moisturized and supple.
ConsCons: I didn't really find any drawbacks. However, it might not provide enough hydration for those with very dry skin if used alone. I think this serum is more suited for oily skin types as it's specialized for blemish care. Also, it claims to have a cooling effect to reduce skin temperature, but I couldn't really feel it. The effect must be very subtle.
TipPro tip: As this is an effective serum for blemish care, try soaking a cotton pad with the serum and applying it to troubled areas to help soothe the skin. Reducing skin temperature is actually beneficial for blemish care! (The ABIB Teca Capsule Serum Calming Drop is known for its cooling effect.)

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 Hwahae Testers have written this review: A gentle daily item suitable for sensitive skin! Texture: Similar to a runny nose consistency. There are small capsules, though not very noticeable when applying, but they provide a fun popping sensation. It's not a formula that absorbs immediately after application. There's a slight richness, but it doesn't give a deep hydrating feeling. Effectiveness: A great product that's comfortable and non-irritating even when applied to blemishes. It seems ideal for acne-prone skin. However, it doesn't have significant effects on pores or acne scars! Scent: Absolutely none! This is preferable since fragrances are usually added ingredients that can potentially cause allergic reactions.
ConsI could barely notice the whitening or cooling effects mentioned in the ingredients.
TipIt pairs exceptionally well with other products from the same Houttuynia Cordata line.
