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!
ConsFor 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.
TipPro 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!

But it seems like the timing was just right when I encountered this ampoule through the Hwahae Testers. When I first opened the bottle, I thought, "Hmm? No distinct scent, and it's just a thin consistency?" But once I applied it to my face, the feeling was quite nice. Though it seems watery, it absorbs into the skin as if gliding off your fingertips, and even layering it once or twice doesn't feel heavy at all. To be honest, many skincare products I've been using lately only feel moisturizing on the surface, leaving my skin still rough or tight underneath. But with this one, after application, my skin feels like, "Ah, I've finally gotten some hydration!" Perhaps this is the perfect product for weather like we're having now, with wind blowing and air conditioners running. What I liked ✔ It absorbs quickly while leaving a fresh finish ✔ No pilling at all when used before makeup ✔ Above all, it truly gives a feeling of 'deep, lasting hydration'
ConsFor extremely dry skin in the dead of winter, it might be a bit weak on its own. At night, you'll probably need to use it with a cream for more substantial moisture.

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.
ConsWhile 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.
TipI 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!

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.
ConsThe hydration doesn't quite match up to its thick consistency. While it feels firm upon application, the lasting power falls short over time.

During other seasons, it's combination with only a slight oiliness on the nose. I have super sensitive skin that's thin and prone to redness. Review: The packaging is refreshingly beautiful. It's a clear serum that can be used year-round, packed with hydration. On my skin, it spread evenly without any residue and absorbed immediately.
ConsIt's challenging to rely solely on this product for moisture in any season, so I always had to apply a cream as the final step in my skincare routine. Those with oily skin might find it satisfactory for use throughout the year.
TipAlthough I mentioned it absorbs well, I found that waiting a bit after applying the serum before layering on cream creates a more supple skin texture, rather than immediately following with cream. For those with dry skin, this would likely work well as a summer serum.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsThis hydrating serum is non-greasy, applies smoothly, and absorbs well. It's perfect for nighttime care in this weather, and when used sparingly before makeup, it makes the skin feel firm and helps the base adhere better. The formula is gentle and non-irritating, making it suitable even for my blemish-prone skin. While it's primarily a hydrating ampoule, it also provides light moisturization, reminiscent of a serum. What I love is that the hydration lasts longer than expected - it's not just initial moisture that disappears quickly. The price on Hwahae is quite reasonable, and I'd be willing to purchase it with my own money.
ConsI couldn't really feel the soothing effect. To me, it's just a common hydrating ampoule without any major flaws. They advertised it as having a calming effect, so I might have set my expectations too high. If you think of it simply as a hydrating ampoule, it's fine.
TipThe review highlights the product's effectiveness as a hydrating serum, praising its non-greasy texture, good absorption, and versatility for both nighttime care and pre-makeup use. The reviewer appreciates its gentle formula, suitable for sensitive and blemish-prone skin. While the positive aspects focus on hydration and texture, the negative feedback mentions a lack of noticeable soothing effects, suggesting that marketing claims about calming properties may be overstated.

It sinks into the skin without any pilling, which is fantastic! It's also a great product for makeup application, with no issues of pilling and it absorbs beautifully! Especially for those with sensitive skin like me who are particular about fragrances, the scent is really pleasant. When applying, the fragrance isn't irritating at all!
ConsIf you have extremely dry skin or during the fall and winter months, it might not be quite enough on its own. I recommend layering it or adding extra hydration!

Cons굳이 꼽자면 가격대가 조금 애매하다는 점…? 저한테는 만족이었지먼 리뷰에 제형이 물같다, 레이어링해야한다는 리뷰가 많은데 가격이 좀 비싼것 같아요ㅠ 화잘먹, 톤정리에 유명한 숫자세럼이랑 효과는 비슷한데 가격대도 비슷해서 아쉬운것 같아용..
Tip모델링팩 올리기 바로 직전 단계에 사용해주면 결정리와 모델링팩 효과를 훨씬 up시켜주는 느낌입니다 참고로 저는 약초모델링팩 사용하는데 피부브라이트닝, 진정효과랑 잘 맞는 것 같아요!

Skin type: Combination dehydrated Blemishes: None The watery texture absorbs well and spreads easily I applied it generously after toner and skin (Used it with another brand's hyaluronic acid toner - they worked great together!) Skincare routine: Generous toner + ampoule + serum + moisturizer + eye cream The packaging gives a cool, clean feeling that lifts my mood every time I use it! (It reminds me of seawater - so pretty!) I actually prefer that it's fragrance-free! I have a lot of redness, so I kept it in the fridge to help cool down my skin before use The container is lightweight, which is great Unlike other brands' glass bottles, this plastic container is light and feels streamlined!
ConsThe dropper doesn't dispense as coolly as expected Because of its runny texture, it gets used up incredibly fast (Seems like we need an extra-large version) It's not exactly budget-friendly Despite that, I'd still buy it again!
TipHighly recommend refrigerating for those with severe skin warmth issues!

As someone with delicate "pufferfish" skin, I always find that mild ingredients work best for me. * Hydration They weren't kidding when they called this a "hydration hero" ampoule - it's truly outstanding! My face was peeling due to the extremely dry office air, but this product calmed it right down. I saw improvement after just one use on persistent flakiness that wouldn't go away. It's amazing! The formula absorbs completely, leaving layers of moisture that seem to build up! * Scent The fragrance is nearly undetectable, which I actually prefer. * Volume and Packaging Many ampoules these days come in tiny bottles that run out quickly, but I appreciate the generous size of this one. The dropper-style container is also a plus.
ConsWhile I like the dropper packaging, I wish the dropper itself was a bit longer. Since I'm so fond of this ampoule, I want to be able to use every last drop, but the short dropper makes it difficult to reach the bottom.
TipFor an even longer-lasting moisturizing effect, I recommend applying the ampoule twice in your routine.
