Pros
As someone with dry skin, I prioritize hydration and gentleness when choosing an ampoule. The LOPO Better Balance Ampoule generally met my expectations quite well. What I loved: The standout feature was its hydrating yet refreshing texture. Being a light essence-type formula, it absorbs instantly without leaving any sticky residue. This makes it perfect for use before makeup in the morning, with no pilling issues. Even on days when my skin felt super sensitive, it provided a soothing effect without any irritation. I was particularly impressed by how quickly it calmed heat and redness in my skin. Another big plus is its fragrance-free, non-irritating formula - a huge benefit for those of us with sensitive noses!
Cons
For those with very dry skin, the hydration might not be quite enough. The moisturizing effect doesn't last all day on its own, so in fall or winter, I found I needed to layer a cream on top. However, it's perfect for both oily and dry skin types during the summer months, as it's not too heavy. While it's effective for soothing and hydrating the skin, it's a bit lacking when it comes to evening out skin tone.
Tip
Pro tip: Store it in the fridge and apply it in the morning to instantly cool down your skin and create a great base for makeup. For those with dry skin, try layering it 2-3 times for all-day hydration without any tightness. If you feel a blemish coming on, try applying a bit extra to that spot - it might help prevent the trouble from developing further. For an extra boost of hydration at night, mix in a drop or two of facial oil - it works wonders!

Pros
I used this product for 13 nights from May 10th to May 22nd. While I don't have super sensitive skin, this ampoule is gentle and versatile enough for daily use. It absorbs well with a lightweight feel, yet provides long-lasting hydration, making it comfortable to use both morning and night. There's hardly any sticky residue, so it works well under makeup too. Despite being a functional product for brightening and anti-aging, I could use it comfortably without any irritation. The packaging is sleek and luxurious, which would make it a great gift option as well!
Cons
My only regret is that the review period felt a bit short. I have no complaints about the product itself.

Pros
Skin type: I have thin, dehydrated dry skin Scent: It had a pleasant, unobtrusive fragrance-free formula Texture: A runny, serum-like consistency that feels deeply hydrating without being too light With the humid, hot weather lately, I've been struggling to manage dead skin cells. Compared to other products that just make my skin oily, using the Hwahae LOFO ampoule helped balance my skin's oil and moisture levels! Despite its fluid texture, it wasn't too greasy or drying, and it absorbed without any stickiness, leaving my skin feeling fresh. I have sensitive skin prone to flushing, but right after application, it seemed to calm my redness. There was absolutely no irritation, and it was gentle enough not to cause any blemishes. For those with dry skin like mine, I recommend layering it twice for even better results! I found this much better than other famous hydrating ampoules, so I highly recommend the Hwahae ampoule for the upcoming summer months!
Cons
I wish they would release a larger size option, as the current volume is quite small!

Pros
The Lopo Better Balance Ampoule is truly outstanding when it comes to hydration. It absorbs into the skin instantly, leaving it feeling moisturized, and creates a subtle Inner Glow that makes your complexion look much brighter before applying makeup. What I particularly loved was its non-sticky texture! It's perfect for summer use without feeling heavy, and it has a noticeable calming effect, making it safe to use even on super sensitive skin days. You can layer it multiple times without it feeling heavy, and its transparent, lightweight formula makes it very convenient to use during your skincare routine.
Cons
While I was generally satisfied, if I had to point out one thing, it's that it absorbs quite quickly. This might leave those with dry skin feeling like one or two applications aren't enough. I wish the moisturizing effect lasted a bit longer. That's why I made sure to layer it multiple times when using it.
Tip
I recommend applying the ampoule right after cleansing when your skin is still slightly damp. This helps the moisture stay on your skin longer, and you can feel the ampoule penetrating deeper. Also, try using a thin layer of this ampoule instead of a primer before makeup - it helps your makeup adhere better and last longer. With its lightweight formula that works well even in summer, it's perfect as a daily skincare staple!

Pros
Texture & Application: The consistency is slightly thick, but not overly so. When applied to the skin, it glides on slowly. To give you an idea, it's a bit more substantial than the famous To*e serum. Surprisingly, it absorbs exceptionally well into the skin. Even after layering it twice, it doesn't feel heavy at all. Instead, it absorbs beautifully, leaving the skin feeling firm and hydrated without any stickiness. Effectiveness: Despite its rich texture, the moisturizing power and hydration longevity weren't as impressive as expected. Even though I have oily skin and the weather's been warm, I found that using this serum (layered twice) with Laneige Cream Skin Refiner and LOHB's ampoule in the evening wasn't quite enough. By morning, while not exactly dry, my skin felt slightly lacking in hydration. However, it provides adequate moisture for morning use, making it perfect for pairing with a light cream during this season.
Cons
The hydration doesn't quite match up to its thick consistency. While it feels firm upon application, the lasting power falls short over time.

Pros
This product offers excellent hydration without feeling sticky. I was lucky enough to try it as part of the Hwahae Testers program. Usually, I have a go-to combination of products, but I decided to use this essence alone, excluding my usual one. Surprisingly, it maintained the same level of moisture. In fact, it's so hydrating that applying it two or three times can make my forehead feel a bit oily the next day. I found that one application is just perfect. What I love most is that it's not sticky at all. The watery texture leaves my skin feeling wonderfully hydrated. I'm extremely satisfied with it. If price wasn't a factor, I'd use this daily without hesitation.
Cons
I can't think of any downsides. If the price were lower, I'd use it even more frequently.
Tip
The reviewer emphasizes the product's excellent hydration and non-sticky texture. They mention being part of the Hwahae Testers program, which allows consumers to try products and provide feedback. The essence seems to be highly effective, potentially even too hydrating if overused. The reviewer appreciates its watery texture and moisturizing properties, with the only potential drawback being the price.

Pros
The product absorbs smoothly, leaving the skin feeling moisturized and soft. There's no sticky residue at all. I really liked that it didn't cause any pilling when patted over makeup.
Cons
I have combination dehydrated skin with deep dryness. While the product provides some hydration, it fell a bit short in addressing the deep dryness issue.

Pros
The ampoule contains hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and niacinamide, so you can expect hydration and soothing effects. Non-sticky with a fresh finish Despite being an ampoule, it's not heavy and absorbs into the skin immediately, making it easy to use without feeling burdensome. Decent hydration Thanks to the hyaluronic acid and panthenol, my skin felt comfortable and moisturized right after application. It particularly helped alleviate the tightness I usually experience after cleansing. While some reviews mentioned dryness, I found it incredibly hydrating and plumping for a watery formula that's not mucin-based. Suitable for sensitive skin I was worried about the niacinamide content, but I could use it without any tingling sensation. Overall, it's a great daily hydrating ampoule with a fresh feel. It's suitable for sensitive skin and I loved its clean application without causing any blemishes. However, for winter or extremely dry skin, it's best used in conjunction with a moisturizer rather than alone. As someone with very dry skin, I've never used an ampoule on its own. I'm really satisfied using this as a step before layering a cream-type product on top.
Cons
There wasn't much to dislike, but if I had to point something out, it would be that the ingredients aren't particularly unique compared to other products. It should work well for those looking for a gentle and hydrating ampoule.
Tip
Layering recommended On days when my skin feels particularly dry, applying a second layer after the first one absorbs makes it much more hydrating. Try refrigerating Especially in summer, storing the ampoule in the fridge and applying it cool has a soothing effect on the skin and feels refreshing. Use with a moisturizer The ampoule alone might feel slightly insufficient, so using it with a cream helps the hydration last longer. Using it alone is recommended for oily skin types.

Pros
It applies smoothly and absorbs well without feeling sticky. Even after multiple layers, it still sinks in nicely. I genuinely recommend you buy and try it. It's truly wonderful!
Cons
There are no downsides. It doesn't cause any blemishes, and when I apply makeup over it, there's no pilling. It's great!

Pros
Honest Review of LOPO Better Balance Ampoule This ampoule has a light, watery texture that absorbs quickly into the skin. It feels fresh without any stickiness, making it suitable even for oily and combination skin types. Being fragrance-free, it's worry-free for those sensitive to scents. I loved how it layered well under makeup without causing pilling. The hydration lasts quite a while, and it has a soothing effect even on sensitive days, so I'd recommend it for those with super sensitive skin too. However, it's more focused on hydration rather than moisturization, so if you have dry skin, you'll need to pair it with a cream to maintain long-lasting moisture. It felt slightly lacking in terms of providing nourishment to the skin. ⸻ ✔️ Pros • Light and fresh feel • Absorbs well + Non-sticky • Fragrance-free & Low irritation (Safe ingredients 👍) • Can be used before makeup • Excellent for hydration + Calming effect ⸻ 💡 Recommended for those looking for a hydrating ampoule or those with super sensitive skin! Perfect as a daily ampoule for everyday use.
Cons
❌ Cons • May lack moisturization for dry skin • Somewhat weak in terms of nourishment
Tip
The Hwahae Testers' Verdict: This ampoule works hard to provide a burst of hydration without irritation, making it an ideal choice for those with combination dehydrated skin or those looking to add an extra layer of moisture to their skincare routine. While it may not provide the rich, nourishing feel some might crave, its ability to absorb well and play nicely with other products makes it a versatile addition to any skincare regimen. Remember, if you're dealing with deep dryness, you might want to follow up with a more emollient cream to lock in that hydration.
