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!

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!

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!

But wow, was I surprised! It's incredibly lightweight and leaves a refreshing finish. As the weather's heating up, this seems perfect to use from now through summer. Some lightweight serums can be a bit drying when used alone, but this one provides just the right amount of hydration! It absorbs incredibly fast, without any stickiness or stiffness - it just quickly replenishes moisture. I have oily skin and my sister has dry skin, but we both use this serum without feeling any dryness and are very satisfied! Sometimes serums have an unpleasant scent that puts me off, but this one is fragrance-free, so I think anyone could use it without issue. And unlike those 30ml serums that seem to run out in no time, this 50ml bottle gives you plenty to use generously. Love that!
ConsWhile I really enjoyed the light and refreshing feel (I'm a fan of lightweight skincare), I wouldn't say it dramatically improves skin elasticity. That said, it does seem to work well under makeup!
TipIf you're looking for a lightweight serum that still provides good hydration, I'd recommend giving this product a try!

Feeling: This is perfect for the current season with big temperature swings and UV exposure that can make skin super sensitive. The texture is light and fresh, but after applying, it refines skin texture and feels comforting from deep within. It's great for irritation-free use, making it ideal for layering with other products. Ingredients: It's excellent for calming the skin without causing blemishes or a burning sensation. True to its name 'Balance', it's suitable when your skin condition is off-kilter.
ConsDrawback: For an ampoule, it might feel a bit light on hydration. It feels slightly lacking when used alone.
TipPro tip: It works well under makeup when layered with other products!

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.
ConsThere 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.
TipLayering 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.

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
TipThe 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.

It's exactly what I've been looking for. Although I received it by chance through an event, I'm definitely going to repurchase it. During seasons when our skin becomes super sensitive, we tend to focus more on soothing and hydration. This product exceeds my expectations by far. First off, it's rich in moisture and absorbs well, leaving your skin feeling fresh without any stickiness. However, I recommend testing it before use, as its effectiveness may vary depending on your skin type!
ConsWhile there aren't any significant drawbacks, some people might find the price a bit high. And well... perhaps the fact that you end up using it so quickly?
TipThis product works hard to provide deep hydration and soothing effects, which is especially beneficial for combination dehydrated skin or those with super sensitive skin. Its ability to absorb well without leaving a sticky residue makes it great for layering in your skincare routine. The ampoule helps even out the skin tone and provides a nice inner glow, addressing issues like redness and maintaining a good oil and moisture balance. Remember to patch test first to avoid any potential allergic reactions or irritation, particularly if you have blemish-prone or sensitive skin.

Especially, it helps balance the oil and moisture levels, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and shine-free, which I really enjoyed.
ConsAt first use, there was a slightly slower absorption feeling. On certain days, there was a feeling of oiliness in the T-zone area. It helped resolve the dryness, but the product seemed to focus more on hydration than soothing.
TipAfter cleansing, while skin is still damp, dispense 2-3 drops into the palm and gently press to allow absorption. Using it as a layering step before applying cream is particularly effective for deep hydration.
