Combination dehydrated (I get tiny blemishes all over if there's even a slight lack of hydration due to severe deep dryness) 2. Oily (My nose area, chin, and between eyebrows get very itchy with any excess oil) 3. Dry (My cheeks and forehead are dry, feeling tight and flaky with visible dead skin cells in winter) 4. Sensitive (Prone to cystic acne. I have dust allergies, so any environmental changes or heat can trigger intense breakouts and redness) Early summer review: Texture: It has the perfect consistency - not too watery or sticky. On hot mornings, it works great as a standalone base. Those expecting a toner-like texture might find it slightly rich. Hydration: Excellent. You can feel it locking in moisture, especially addressing deep dryness. Transparent packaging: Easy to see how much product is left and control usage amount. Absorption: Takes a bit of time to fully absorb. I apply it first, and while it's not super watery, it needs a moment before layering other products. However, it doesn't cause pilling with subsequent layers. Family-friendly ingredients: As someone with sensitive skin, I always check ingredients. This product is so gentle and well-formulated that it's suitable for the whole family. Blemishes: For some reason, I noticed small red bumps appearing after using this product. They weren't cystic or pustular, but a few popped up around my eyes and mouth. Consider this if you have very sensitive skin. Not for those seeking a watery toner: As mentioned, it's not super fluid. It has a richer, more concentrated serum-like texture. When my skin needs cooling or I'm dealing with redness, I reach for lighter products instead. For an extra cooling effect, try storing it in the fridge. It helps reduce skin temperature and soothes irritation while improving absorption. Another tip: soak a cotton pad with the serum and apply it as a mask on your cheeks and forehead. It works wonders! The gentle formulation allows for extended use as a mask without causing irritation or roughness. Instead, it leaves your skin feeling soft and helps improve texture. It's great for skin conditioning! - tt***Dehydrated SkinSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedJun 12, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The texture is just right - not too heavy, yet not as light as water, making it perfect for application even in the hot summer months. Some heavier formulas can cause blemishes, but the Better Balance Ampoule actually has a soothing effect. Its thinner consistency means I've rarely, if ever, experienced any breakouts while using it. The moment you apply it, you feel an incredible surge of hydration, and I appreciate that it doesn't leave a sticky residue. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I noticed a slight feeling of dryness after some time had passed. Other than that, I didn't find any drawbacks. - ki*******Dry SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedJun 12, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It's especially great for mornings as it doesn't cause makeup to pill, instead deeply nourishing the skin. It's definitely a makeup-friendly ampoule, perfect for hot summer days. 💙Scent: This product is fragrance-free. 💙Blemishes: I didn't experience any blemishes while using this. My skin tends to be sensitive, but the ingredients seem gentle. 💙Soothing effect: After a recent trip abroad where my skin got sunburned and started peeling, this essence didn't sting at all. In fact, it greatly helped soothe my skin. 💙Packaging: It comes in a standard dropper bottle, which is convenient to use. The bottle isn't small either, so it should last a while. While using different essences for morning and night can be cumbersome and confusing, this essence feels a bit light for nighttime use. It's great before makeup - fresh and doesn't cause pilling. However, when applied at night, my skin feels a bit undernourished by morning. Personally, I prefer heavier, stickier products for nighttime use, so this might not be the best evening essence. This product is more suited for summer than winter. For me, the perfect makeup-friendly routine is applying this ampoule followed by Wellage cream before makeup in the morning. - ww********Dehydrated SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedJun 12, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

I hoped it would live up to its name, and it truly did! It provides hydration and smooths out skin texture. It has the perfect oil-moisture balance for summer use. Being gentle on the skin, it's ideal as a daily product for those with sensitive skin. It's not a thick, bouncy texture but rather a runny, liquid type. For those with extremely dry skin, a rich cream is a must-have in addition to this. The product absorbs well into the skin, leaving it with a healthy glow. It works hard to even out the complexion and minimize the appearance of pores. While it's great for combination dehydrated skin, those with super sensitive skin might want to patch test first. It's an excellent addition to your daily skincare routine, especially if you're looking to address blemishes and achieve that coveted "Inner Glow". - yy****Combination SkinAcne SkinRecommendedJun 12, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

This review is based on my experience using the ROPOEA ampoule right after finishing my Wellage one. I hope it's helpful! Thumbs up for the texture! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I prefer a hydrating water-like consistency over sticky formulas. The ROPOEA ampoule is similar to Wellage - it rolls down your cheek like a teardrop when squeezed and absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling moisturized. I also appreciate that the color and scent are as pure as water - colorless and fragrance-free. This makes it feel like a gentle, no-frills ampoule that stays true to the basics. (I'm prone to breakouts with some ampoules, but this one didn't cause any blemishes at all!) The bottle is slightly taller than Wellage's, which means a longer dropper. This allows you to dispense more product in one go, which I found surprisingly convenient. (The rubber part of the dropper is also a bit softer compared to Wellage's.) I'd recommend this to fellow combination dehydrated skin types, those with acne-prone skin, or anyone looking for a gentle, hydrating water-based ampoule for summer moisture replenishment. While I like that it's similar to my trusted Wellage ampoule and doesn't cause any blemishes, it's a bit disappointing that ROPOEA doesn't seem to be available at Olive Young. The lack of accessibility is a minor drawback. For those with super sensitive skin or prone to allergic reactions, always patch test new products before applying them to your entire face. The fact that this ampoule is fragrance-free and gentle makes it a promising option, but individual experiences may vary. - mi********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedJun 12, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

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.Here's my review after using it for about two weeks. I have combination dehydrated skin that's super sensitive and prone to blemishes. The texture is transparent with a slight viscosity, flowing easily. The scent is faintly herbal? You probably won't notice unless you really sniff it. It applies smoothly and glides on well. Absorption takes a bit of time, requiring some massaging after application. I found it fine to use even after cleansing, skipping toner. It's not sticky, and unless applied to open wounds, it seems non-irritating. It's great for facial massage while applying, helping with absorption. It stings a bit when it touches areas where I've squeezed blemishes... The slow absorption makes it better for nighttime use, not ideal for busy mornings. It's perfect for giving yourself a facial massage while applying and letting it absorb. - al********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedJun 12, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Just like its clean and pristine packaging, this product is so gentle and kind that even those with super sensitive skin can use it without any issues. I personally prefer that it's fragrance-free. Contrary to its appearance, it's surprisingly lightweight, absorbs well, and quickly sinks into the skin after a few rolls and pats. It feels like it's charging your skin with hydration while balancing your complexion, true to its name. This seems like a great everyday product that you can consistently use as part of your daily routine. Because it absorbs so well, the skin's surface might feel dry quickly. Those with dry skin types might find it a bit dehydrating. I don't have dry skin, and with the weather getting warmer, I actually appreciated that it didn't feel heavy. Also, it's a bit disappointing that you can't use up every last drop of the product with the dropper packaging. - im*********Dry SkinAcne SkinAtopic SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedJun 12, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

My skin has always been on the dry side, and we all know that lack of hydration can lead to rough texture and more prominent wrinkles. It even felt like I was aging faster! I realized that proper hydration is absolutely essential now. So, I set out to find an ampoule that could provide both hydration and soothing effects. The one I tried this time was exactly what I was looking for! Above all, it's gentle on the skin, absorbs well without any sticky feeling, and leaves my skin feeling moisturized. It's perfect for use all year round without any worries. Especially now, as the weather gets warmer and our skin starts to feel sticky and uncomfortable, a light, easily absorbed product is far better than a heavy formula, right? After applying this ampoule, my skin feels like it can breathe. It's comfortable at night, and in the morning, I wake up to a clearer, more radiant complexion, which really boosts my mood. If you're struggling with dry, dull skin and want a light, refreshing moisturizing effect even in summer, I think this might be worth a try! I'm using it well for its intended purpose as it's gentle without irritation and full of hydration! It might not feel quite nourishing enough in fall and winter, but it's perfect for the current season! It's also great as a daily ampoule before makeup, as it adheres well to the skin without any pilling. Thanks to this product, I'm able to properly maintain my skin's hydration while also soothing it, which I'm very satisfied with. - ik***Combination SkinRecommendedJun 12, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Packaging: The lightweight plastic bottle comes with a dropper for easy application. I appreciate that the transparent container allows you to see how much product is left at a glance. Scent: This is truly a fragrance-free ampoule. Even when sniffing it up close, there's absolutely no detectable scent. Texture: It has a watery consistency that flows easily when applied to the back of your hand. While not completely liquid, it has a slight viscosity but doesn't feel sticky at all. Effectiveness: This ampoule really feels focused on delivering intense hydration. Despite its slight thickness, it absorbs quickly, leaving behind only a moisturized feeling without any residue. It seems perfect for summer use. It's also great for layering, which I've been doing frequently. I'm glad I discovered this excellent ampoule! I'm using this product with great satisfaction and have no complaints! It's also gentle enough for blemish-prone skin. For best results, try adjusting the number of layers you apply based on your skin's daily needs. This approach should lead to even more satisfying results! - an*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsDead Skin CellsJun 12, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers
