The absorption is highly effective. Initially, it seems like a product focused on elasticity and radiance, rather than just moisture replenishment, as it contains collagen and PDRN. The moisture replenishment is adequate, and applying it 2-3 times can significantly boost hydration. However, it doesn't provide the same deep, saturating moisture as the Wellauge ampoule. Nevertheless, it does effectively improve elasticity. The radiance boost is moderate, but noticeable. Interestingly, it also seems to have a mild whitening effect, even though it's not mentioned in the product description. Overall, it leaves the skin looking vibrant and healthy. The moderate radiance and high absorption make it suitable to apply even before makeup.
ConsThe product was good for my sensitive skin as it did not cause any immediate breakouts after application. However, it did not provide enough moisture, causing an imbalance in my skin's oil-water balance, leading to breakouts a few days later. I think it would be better to use this product along with another that helps address dryness. The product also has a distinct pdrn scent, which is slightly reminiscent of a nutritional supplement, though it is not overpowering and should be tolerable for most, but some may dislike it.

(This doesn't mean it's bad.) It felt moisturizing immediately after application, like other ampoules. The moisturizing effect seemed to last for about 3 hours. -However, when used together with another moisturizing cream product, the results are truly outstanding. Compared to using the cream alone, the skin feels much more moisturized, about 100 times more. Even with short-term use, the skin visibly improves. After applying it the night before and sleeping, my skin remained dewy and smooth until the evening! -Coincidentally, I started using this during a period of extremely severe fine dust (my skin was in complete chaos). But after using this ampoule and applying a generous amount of the Cicapair Cream before bed, my skin troubles have all settled down. 😉 Until now, using the Cicapair Cream alone before bed didn't fully calm my skin troubles. I'm not very knowledgeable about ingredients, so I'm not sure if this product helps with skin trouble, but I'll keep it just in case it helps.
ConsThe product has a distinctive odor. I am not particularly sensitive to smells. While purchasing various cosmetics, I have felt that the products had certain drawbacks, but I have never found the scent to be unpleasant. However, when I first applied this product, I felt a slight discomfort. It's hard to describe, but it's almost like an 'uncle's skin scent'... I'm not sure how to describe this smell.... For the first two days, it was a bit difficult, but from the third day onwards, I got used to the smell and it didn't bother me as much. Now, I apply it smoothly. I think people who are sensitive to smells may find it difficult to use.

The absorption is great, and the feeling of moisture replenishment is just wonderful.☺️
ConsContinued use may not be too severe, but one side of the face seems to be slightly reddened, and there is a scent that reminds me of alcohol? Or perhaps some chemical components? ㅠㅠ

The formula is a runny, watery consistency, but it applies with a slightly thicker, viscous texture. Compared to a very thin formula, it has a bit of an oily feel, but not overly so. The product has a slightly oily feel on the surface, but it's not overwhelming. It's easy to apply multiple layers, unlike a quick-drying essence. As a dry-skinned person, I found it very moisturizing. A single pump provides enough for the whole face. Even with my sensitive, blemish-prone skin, I didn't experience any irritation and found the formula to be gentle. Anuare is known for their good ingredients, and this serum seems to follow suit, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
ConsThere was a slight scent to it, but those sensitive to fragrances should consider this aspect. Even if it's close to fragrance-free, there may be a slightly artificial scent. However, it was not uncomfortable enough to be significantly bothersome.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI've been using it for about a week, and I usually just wipe with a skin pad and apply cream, but lately my face has been feeling dry, so it's been easily irritated and my makeup has been flaking off, so I tried using it. After getting used to its distinctive scent and using it consistently, I found that it has great absorption and leaves my skin feeling moisturized, and my makeup seems to apply better than before!
ConsThe trouble did not come up, but rather the moisture was filled, and it seemed that millet was going in. But the real scent... the scent was ㅠㅠㅠ It was rancid and unpleasant. When I went to Olive Young today and smelled the same product, the scent was good, so it might have been renewed. The one I received has a terrible scent, but the moisture replenishment is so certain that I am using it while enduring it. The smell is like omega three smell...??? Old roasted rice cake candy smell? Kimbap smell?? I can't tell exactly, but it's the smell of a bad-smelling nutritional supplement.
TipThe formula is similar to the essence in a sheet mask, and it absorbs quickly, so I'm applying it all over my face and body. For those sensitive to fragrance, apply this product quickly after your skincare routine. This way, the scent will be masked and faded, making it suitable for continued use. 😂😂

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe usage period was 2 weeks. I used it every morning and evening for 2 weeks, and the best part was the noticeable improvement in the tightness of my skin. This winter, my skin was unusually dry, and even with makeup, my skin would peel off, but after using this product, my makeup no longer flaked, and the improvement was visibly significant. The formula is like water, so I didn't expect much moisturizing power, but the absorption was excellent, and I could feel the deep hydration. After application, it leaves a supple finish. The amount dispensed from the dropper is generous, and when I tried using it alone, it was almost enough to relieve the tightness in my skin. As a result, the stress from my irritated skin has been greatly reduced. The original price is a bit high, but at the Hwahae discounted price, it's worth purchasing.
ConsThere was nothing particularly disappointing, but the scent had a somewhat unique artificial fragrance, so opinions may be divided. However, the product performance was good, so it was not overly bothersome.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe winter season can be harsh on my skin, leaving it feeling dry and uneven like a desert. Especially on days when moisture is lacking, my skin feels extra parched and lacks that dewy glow. That's why winter skincare essentials like a serum (or ampoule) and a moisturizer are a must-have for me. Luckily, I had the Anua serum on hand, which turned out to be a welcome product. The serum has a subtle artificial scent, akin to soybean oil, that lingers briefly upon application but dissipates quickly. It's not an overpowering or persistent odor. When I tested it on the back of my hand, the scent was only noticeable immediately after application, and my nose detected no fragrance once it was absorbed. The formula has a watery, quickly-absorbing texture that feels slightly rich and substantial as it spreads across the skin, but it ultimately leaves a smooth, primed finish once fully absorbed. I'd rate its absorption as high and its moisturizing effect as medium-to-high. Prior to using the serum, I had some minor blemish-like redness on my skin. After consistent use, I noticed these existing concerns were soothed and calmed.As mentioned earlier, my skin tends to feel extremely dry and dehydrated during the winter, and a lack of proper care can lead to an unpleasant tight, parched sensation. Additionally, the uneven texture is always frustrating when applying foundation and other cosmetics. However, the Anua serum has proven to be a very satisfactory product in addressing the dry, tight areas of my skin. While the summary noted that it does not resolve the uneven texture, when used in conjunction with other moisturizing products, it has helped create an upgraded, deeply hydrating skincare routine. Lastly, the serum has helped improve the overall condition of my skin. It has made my complexion appear more plump and bouncy, with a subtle, healthy glow. With each use, I've experienced increasingly pleasant skin conditions. To summarize: ✔️ Step 1: Yes, it effectively addresses the tight, parched feeling. ✔️ Step 2: Yes, it leaves no greasy residue. ✔️ Step 3: No, it does not resolve the uneven texture. ✔️ Step 4: Yes, it has improved skin radiance and elasticity.
ConsHere are some things to consider: ⚠️ I absolutely despise even the slightest artificial fragrance! If this is the case, please think it over! But also consider the advantage that it evaporates quickly - that's very good 👍 ♥️ ⚠️ When the product actually falls on your face, it rolls off! While tilting your face slightly, make sure the product is fully absorbed into your face and doesn't 'drop to the floor' ㅎㅎ Hmm.. Apart from that, I didn't have any other inconveniences.
TipHere are some honey tips to try: 1. After cleansing, apply a few layers of Hwahae (an adjustable number of shots). 2. Generously absorb the Anua serum to create a nourishing, moisturized skin condition. => The Hwahae helped the Anua serum absorb well, right? But to get even better results! (excited)😳😳 3.!! Use a modeling pack, murmuring "Eat well" to manage your skin! Give this a try... I ended up with brighter, firmer, smoother skin + a nourished, moisturized complexion.☆ 🤭: I bought a good foundation or cushion, but it looks matte on my skin... Try mixing it with unused makeup products before applying! It won't stick 😢 I was able to save the money! +Additional note (after more testing): Layering it 2-3 times helps eliminate next-day dehydration 👍 👍

Spreadability ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: The fluid-like texture meant I had to absorb it immediately after applying, as it would otherwise just slide off. Absorption ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: The watery texture definitely provided great absorption. Thicker formulas often take longer to absorb, but this product absorbed instantly and adhered well to the skin. Hydration ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: I didn't have high expectations for the hydration or moisturizing properties due to the texture, but after applying it, my skin immediately had a radiant glow and felt supple. During my trip to Southeast Asia, I only used this product and didn't need any other lotions or creams. It may be a bit challenging to use in the winter, but I think this product alone would be sufficient for the summer. Soothing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: As someone with skin that is prone to breakouts when the weather changes, I was very worried about getting blemishes during my trip to Southeast Asia. However, contrary to my concerns, I returned home with a clear complexion. Recommended Skin Type: This product seems suitable for all skin types. As someone with dry, atopic skin that becomes combination in the summer, I think this could be used year-round, adjusting my other skincare products as needed for the season.
ConsThere were not many disappointing aspects, but the smell was slightly unusual. To me, it had a scent reminiscent of disinfectant and a fishy odor.
TipThose with sensitive or complex skin can apply this product twice before makeup, which will prevent caking and create a radiant skin expression! In the summer, using creams can feel sticky and cause makeup to slide, which is stressful, but using this product can solve that! 👍👍 And before bed, when doing a collagen pack, applying this product first and then the pack will double the moisturizing effect, and your skin will be glowing the next day!

The most important thing about a hyaluronic acid serum is whether it prevents dryness, so I kept using it and found that my skin was less dry after using the serum compared to before. I was using this serum during a time when my skin condition was really bad, but my skin didn't get dry and cracked. It wasn't sticky and was okay. However, I'm not sure about improvements in skin pigmentation or complexion, and it doesn't seem to be on par with other famous hyaluronic acid serum products. It's best to try it out for yourself and find what works for your skin.
ConsIt was all fine, but I remember the scent being unpleasant when I first used it. An oily smell..? There was a distinctive aroma that I had smelled somewhere before. But on the first day of use, it felt a bit pungent and wasn't that great.

However, it is not a light texture. But it does have a moisturizing feel. It absorbs well. The packaging is so cute♡ It seems like it would suit dry skin better~!(I have oily skin and seborrheic dermatitis, this is just my personal opinion. It may vary from person to person~!) It might feel heavy in the summer, so it's better to use it more in the transitional seasons or winter!
ConsThe artificial? scent was rather unpleasant... The oily formula is not ideal for those with oily skin (not recommended in the summer). It tends to slide off easily, so you need to be careful with the amount you apply. It didn't work well for my sensitive skin! It felt stuffy! (This is just my personal opinion, as everyone's experience may vary.)
TipCentella powder-like products are mixed and applied.
