Usually, I'm most interested in and primarily purchase hydrating and soothing skincare products. Due to my sensitivity, I don't use many exfoliants or pads. I hope this review can be helpful for those with similar skin concerns. ⚪️ Texture As a hydrating ampoule, it has a light and refreshing texture. It feels quite fluid, similar to typical hydrating ampoules. ⚪ Application As the seasons are changing, I've switched from moisturizing products to more hydrating ones in my skincare routine. The LOPO Better Balance Ampoule works well for this transitional period. When applied once, it leaves a light and fresh finish, but when layered multiple times, it creates a delightfully bouncy finish that I really love. ⚪️ Scent Being fragrance-free, it's suitable for all ages and genders. It's an excellent choice for those with fragrance allergies like myself.
ConsWhile it's a pretty good hydrating ampoule, I was a bit disappointed that it didn't have much of a soothing effect.

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!

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!
ConsMy only regret is that the review period felt a bit short. I have no complaints about the product itself.

The LOPO Better Balance Ampoule has a slightly viscous texture and provides excellent hydration. Unlike very watery ampoules that can make deep dryness more noticeable, this one has a slightly mucus-like consistency that prevents deep dryness and leaves a clean finish. I have atopic and sensitive skin, but experienced no irritation or subsequent blemishes. In conclusion, it's a hydrating ampoule that works well for sensitive skin! I'm satisfied with the formula that has a balanced finish - neither too light nor too heavy.
ConsFor oily skin in summer, the hydration feels slightly heavy.

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!
ConsI wish they would release a larger size option, as the current volume is quite small!

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!

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.

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.

I didn't notice much at first, but after using this as my only serum step morning and night after cleansing for a few days, my skin started feeling softer and smoother. I apply this, then follow with moisturizer + sunscreen + BB cream or cushion foundation. It feels adequately moisturizing and has a nice bouncy texture that absorbs well into the skin. While my skin still produces some oil, it's less than before. Even though I can get very oily with the wrong products, this one doesn't seem to cause that issue. I think it'll work well as a base product even in summer. Right after application, it feels a bit rich, but once I pat it in, it absorbs nicely and leaves my skin in a good state for the rest of my skincare routine. Thanks to this opportunity, I feel like I've discovered a great serum >.<
ConsEven products without harmful ingredients can cause blemishes if they don't suit your skin, but this one seems pretty safe. It probably doesn't contain any ingredients that trigger breakouts. On the downside, you might not see dramatic skin changes with this serum. However, it's perfect for comfortable use all year round.
TipSometimes in the evening, I use this after applying a toner. When I do this, I wake up the next morning feeling like my skin texture is even smoother.

It's colorless and odorless, and gentle enough for all skin types, making it a great choice for those with blemish-prone skin. The formula provides hydration without excess oil, making it more suitable for summer rather than winter use as a light moisturizer. What I particularly loved was that it didn't cause any pilling or interfere with makeup application after use.
ConsAs someone with dry skin, I found this serum a bit too light to use on its own. It seems more suitable for those with oily skin. For other skin types, it could work well as a first step in a skincare routine, providing a light layer of hydration.
TipI would recommend this product to those with oily skin, anyone who dislikes sticky textures, or those looking for a gentle, non-irritating skincare option.
