Cons-건성에게는 부족한 보습력: 지금은 날이 더워서 잘 쓰고 있지만 겨울에는 부족하게 느껴질 것 같아요. 이 제품을 꼭 사야겠다는 생각이 들 정도로 수분감이 만족스러운 건 아니었어요. -미백/주름개선 문제: 2중 기능성 화장품이라고 적혀있는데 이 앰플만으로 두 가지 효과를 보기는 굉장히 어렵습니다.

I've tried many products claiming to be hydrating, but none really worked. Then I applied Better Balance, and wow, the instant hydration was incredible! To be honest, I'm not sure about its effects on wrinkles, but the moment I put it on, the moisture just... All my previous concerns were resolved. The dropper packaging makes it convenient to use, and I'll definitely keep using this product!
ConsI can't tell if it actually smooths out wrinkles, but the hydration is absolutely fantastic.
TipIf you struggle with extremely dry skin, give this a try. It's really amazing!

The ingredients are gentle, and as a sensitive skin user, I had no issues using it for 2 weeks. 🙆🏻♀️ Moisture balance Compared to lighter products I've used, this felt heavier, but lighter than some richer essences like the one with PDRN. Personally, I found it most similar to the Biopelle Cicapair essence. In conclusion, as this is not an ultra-lightweight product, it seemed more suitable for my dry (winter) skin than oily (summer) skin. I found it a bit heavy on very hot days, but it worked well when my skin felt dehydrated. I think I would have enjoyed the moisture balance even more in the winter.
Cons🙅🏻♀️ Oiliness As mentioned earlier, it seems difficult for Subji to apply it every morning and evening in the summer. 😢 It will likely work well for dry skin types, but may be difficult for oily skin types. 🙅🏻♀️ Functionality The product description mentions functionality such as wrinkle improvement and whitening, but the truth is that these functional effects take a very long time to appear, and are difficult to expect from an ampoule. So if someone purchases this expecting those effects, they may be disappointed. 🙅🏻♀️ Unremarkable Product Compared to other brand ampoules, this one seems rather unremarkable, so its unique characteristics are a bit weak.
Tip🧚🏻 Oily skin is not recommended! (Or use it only in the winter) 🧚🏻 If you have combination skin, it's recommended to use it only in the evenings 🧚🏻 Dry skin is highly recommended!! 🧚🏻 I strongly recommend this product to those looking for a reasonably priced, decent quality item!

Then, I saw an opportunity for a free trial and applied for it. I was selected, so I started using the product for a few days. The flaky skin that I had been concerned about disappeared, and instead of feeling dry, my skin felt moisturized. My makeup also applies well now. Now that the issue has been resolved, I'm really happy about it. I highly recommend it.
ConsCurrently, I'm a bit disappointed as I'm not sure about the whitening or wrinkle improvement effects yet. I'll keep applying it consistently.

It's a dropper type, so it can be used hygienically, and a few drops can be gently spread over the entire face. The formula is not as runny as water, but has a certain viscosity that allows it to slowly flow down after being dispensed from the dropper, making it easy to apply and leaving a refreshing, non-sticky finish. This made it suitable to use even before makeup, without any burden. Especially these days when the weather has been hot and cold, dry and suddenly very warm, this product provided the perfect amount of hydration without any oiliness, which was great.
ConsWhile the product is effective in soothing the skin and restoring the balance of sensitive skin, it may not be as effective in immediate whitening or wrinkle reduction, despite the claims on the packaging. The improvements in terms of whitening and wrinkle reduction are not as readily apparent during use.
TipThe low-irritation, moisturizing, and soothing ampoule seems suitable for use even on sensitive skin that is prone to trouble. The more consistently it is used, the more one can feel the overall skin condition stabilizing. I would particularly recommend this to those whose skin often gets upset, or those who desire a skincare routine focused on soothing and hydration.

After use, my skin felt firm and plump, indicating that deep hydration was effectively delivered. It also worked well as a makeup base, preventing my foundation from caking or separating. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who loves achieving a dewy, moisturized complexion.
ConsI didn't notice any significant improvements in terms of brightening or wrinkle reduction.

The essence has a slightly thicker consistency than water, like an essence-ampoule hybrid. No stickiness, itching, or irritation. Seems suitable for all skin types, whether oily or dry, without causing any issues. (My dry skin absorbed it immediately upon application) Can't really speak to the brightening effects...;; When applied, you can feel the hydration. No slippery feeling, and it absorbs into the skin quite quickly. It's great that it's fully absorbed within 2-3 minutes. Rather than using this product alone, I recommend applying it after your full skincare routine (toner, emulsion, cream, etc.) for best results with the 'Better Balance Ampoule'!
ConsBetter Balance Ampoule While it's marketed as a dual-functional cosmetic for brightening/anti-wrinkle, I could feel the hydration, but the brightening effects weren't noticeable. It's supposed to balance the skin and improve wrinkles... Apart from the moisturizing effect..... It seems unrealistic to expect significant improvements in brightening and wrinkle reduction from this ampoule alone. I don't recommend using the Better Balance Ampoule by itself!! It would be better to apply it after your full skincare routine (toner, emulsion, cream, etc.)~~
TipSince it's difficult to experience significant hydrating effects by applying the Better Balance Ampoule alone, it's recommended to use it in combination with other products.

Unlike some ampoules with subpar droppers that struggle to draw up the product and dispense stiffly, this one has an excellent dropper. Hydration: As someone with combination skin, my complexion suddenly became dry and slightly irritated during the change of seasons. After applying two layers of this ampoule, my skin returned to normal in about 3 days. My mom, who has extremely dry skin, applies three layers and says her makeup adheres beautifully.
ConsThis ampoule claims to have brightening and anti-wrinkle properties, but after two weeks of use, I can't really tell if my skin has become brighter or if my wrinkles have diminished.
TipRegardless of skin type, applying this ampoule after toner and before makeup results in deeply hydrated skin that's perfect for makeup application.
