A single application provides a subtle, natural glow, making the skin look beautiful!
ConsI used it once and found that breakouts were constantly appearing. So I'm testing it intermittently. And since it's a lightweight formula, it felt a bit lacking in moisture and a bit heavier on oil, which was a bit disappointing for my oily skin. I think it will work better as it gets hotter.

A serum that is both moisturizing and bouncy! ✅ The PDRN+hyaluronic acid combination is the best! Thanks to the PDRN that helps skin regeneration, my skin condition has been steadily improving! ✅ A gel-type formula with abundant moisture! The capsules melt softly and get absorbed into the skin! Completely non-irritating and gentle~ ✅ A firm and bouncy finish! After application, the skin feels plump from the inside, and it's especially great to use before morning makeup as it helps organize the skin texture for better makeup application! ✅ Safe even on sensitive days! A gentle serum that can be used daily without worrying about breakouts! 💙 Overall: A serum that hits the two birds of regeneration and hydration! Consistent use leads to refined skin texture and a firming effect, so the satisfaction level is high! Repurchase intention: Yes! (A core item that builds up the skin's fundamental strength, so it's a pick for my routine!)
ConsThere is almost no oily feeling! The extreme dryness may not be sufficiently addressed by this serum alone.
TipKeep refrigerated for a cooling and soothing effect! On sensitive or heated days, apply it chilled to calm the skin.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst, I have sensitive combination skin. Especially if a product contains even a little bit of pore-clogging ingredients, I immediately get breakouts. Since my body condition hasn't been good during this transitional season, I've been using this product while having some existing blemishes. However, I didn't feel like this product caused any additional breakouts or troubles. It felt like a gentle product. The formulation is a watery type. Since it's completely non-viscous, I'd recommend applying it like a toner - dispense it onto your hands first, then pat it onto your face. There was also a bit of an oily feel to it. So it might not be suitable for those with very oily skin. The fragrance was close to unscented, but not completely fragrance-free. While I generally prefer fragrance-free products, the scent didn't bother me during use. Considering that my skin has been quite sensitive lately, I was satisfied that this product didn't cause any new breakouts, which was the most important thing for me.
ConsI had a feeling of lacking moisture. It wasn't a feeling of dryness. This product alone was not enough, so I ended up using another ampoule with a stronger sense of moisture. For me, I felt more of an oily sensation rather than moisture, so I felt this product would be better suited for the transitional seasons and winter, rather than summer.

It was more watery and absorbed well compared to other products, and there was no stickiness. After using it, my skin became moisturized and felt quite nice.
ConsThe advantage and disadvantage is that it's too watery, so it tends to drip down easily, and it only replenishes moisture, so you need to add oil separately. However, it would likely work well for those with oily skin.

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 completely watery formulation applies smoothly and leaves a glossy, shiny finish immediately after application (though it's more like a thin, slippery oily glow than a moisture-based glow). As someone with combination skin, the extremely dry areas around my eyes, cheeks, and chin didn't feel sufficiently hydrated, while the oily areas on my forehead and T-zone were overly greasy, which was disappointing. However, for those who don't have such extreme dry or oily skin types, this product may work well. For those individuals, it could be great for achieving a luminous glow.
Cons- Personally, the smell was really, really disliked... I can't exactly describe what the scent is, but it has a bit of a pungent... smell. - As soon as I applied it, a shiny gloss came up, but I don't feel like it's replenishing moisture. It doesn't become dewy, and it feels like a very thin oily film has been applied. Even though I have dry skin, on my forehead and nose, it felt too greasy. - It doesn't seem to replenish inner moisture, but the oil comes up, so it's ambiguous whether it's suitable for dry or oily skin. - Also, the serum is called the PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Serum, but I couldn't really feel the effects of PDRN (like whitening or elasticity).

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 skin type is a combination of dry and oily, with the lower part of the face being very dry. The packaging is sturdy and well-crafted, with a glass bottle and a dropper that feels comfortable to use. The formula is primarily water-based (around 95%) with a small percentage (around 5%) of a thicker, more viscous component. The finish has an oil-like feel that prevents the moisture from evaporating, but it is not heavy, allowing for multiple layers to be applied. It is recommended for those with Hwahae (combination) and oily skin types, as the formula is well-absorbed.
ConsI feel like my skin is not being properly hydrated. The slight oiliness I mentioned earlier seems to be forcibly compensating for the lack of moisture. So in the evenings when I do a more heavy-duty skincare routine, I don't feel as inclined to use it, but in the mornings it works well for my makeup application.
TipIn the morning or evening, it is recommended to layer this product more than twice when using it.

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 have been using the product for 2 weeks! The biggest advantage of this product is that the skin becomes soft and smooth the moment it is applied✨ The formula is as light as water and has a flowing type, so it absorbs into the skin without any burden when applied. Despite being lightweight, it does not feel stuffy or sticky even when applied multiple times, and after application, the skin surface feels soft and smooth! Another advantage is that it maintains a moisturized and non-slipping finish even when applied before makeup.
ConsHowever, the moisture content is somewhat lacking. While the hyaluronic acid ingredient makes it feel moisturizing when applied, the moisture can evaporate over time, leading to a sense of dryness. Especially for those with dry skin, this serum alone may not provide enough hydration.
TipIf you feel that the moisture is slightly lacking when using this product alone, you can mix it with a moisturizing cream to maintain a much more hydrated state! First, apply the serum once, then mix a drop or two of the serum into your regular moisturizing cream and apply it again as a layering step. This will significantly improve the moisturizing power of the cream. Applying it this way will give you a sense of deeply quenched dryness, allowing you to maintain a much more hydrated state.💙

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 runny, watery formula usually needs to be applied twice to become moisturized, but this product only requires one application to adequately replenish the moisture and oil balance, which was convenient. It does not evaporate and adheres well to the skin. I found it to be effective in filling in the dryness on the skin surface. It has a slightly shimmery, salmon-like oily glow that creates a dewy appearance.
ConsI thought it was a hydrating essence, but it doesn't have that bursting, bouncy hydration feeling. Instead, I felt it had more oil content than I expected. If you have an oily, combination skin type with 7.5 moisture and 2.5 oil, the oiliness might feel a bit heavy.
TipThe product itself seems satisfactory and I think I'll use it well. However, the positioning is a bit ambiguous. It's not quite a moisture essence, as it has a moisturizing feel, but it's also not a heavy formula, so it's comfortable, but I'm not sure where it's best suited. It's strangely good, but I'm not sure what's good about it... Considering this ambiguous feature and the price, I'm hesitant to repurchase.

Using Anuah, I found that even when I applied it alone without any creams, I didn't feel dry all day long. It absorbs quickly and leaves a slightly tacky, moisturized feeling on my face. Personally, I find Anuah to be as satisfying as an ampoule, despite it being a serum.
ConsDue to the oily nature, I personally felt burdened to do extensive skincare routines together. So during my commute, I only applied the Anua and cream, and did not do layered skincare. Given that I already have a lot of oil, I was worried that it would get even more oily after lunchtime.

The absorption was the most satisfying. It absorbs quickly even when applied thickly. ♥ The moisture content is really plump. When I apply this and do my makeup, the makeup applies so well. Even my boyfriend asked why my face looks so bouncy today. ♥ I tend to have a lot of oiliness or cheap aloe, which can make my face look terrible, but this has no such issues and instead properly hydrates, making me want to purchase it. ♥ Sauna-level moisture... Bouncy and supple. ♥ Hygienic and easy-to-use dropper-type container
ConsThe product was approved for its whitening functionality, so I expected good whitening performance. However, as you can see in the photos, after using it diligently for a week, I did not feel a significant whitening effect. Hwahae However, immediately after application, there was a noticeable increase in moisture, leaving a smooth, porcelain-like appearance, almost as if I had just been to a sauna. The absorption is good, but the moisture is absorbed, and there is a slight oily residue left on the surface, giving it a somewhat greasy application. It is not completely devoid of oil. If you are looking for a serum that is just water-based, you may be somewhat disappointed. Like most serums, it works best when applied generously. Hwahae Trial Reviewers
TipYour usage order: COSRX Exfoliating Toner Pads - Innature Squalane Essence - Anuapd RNA Ampoule - Lotion ✨ Apply generously! Squeeze the dropper once and apply half to the forehead, half to one cheek, then squeeze the remaining half and apply to the other cheek. This amount should last around 1.5 months. ✨ To lock in deep moisture, it's best to layer the product thinly. I have a separate hydrating essence that I apply in a very thin layer before generously applying this product. ✨ As it contains hyaluronic acid, in the winter it's better to use it with a hydrating-only ampoule or essence rather than on its own.
