Pros
I used the Hwahae Trial Reviewers product for 2 weeks, and it had great spreadability, a nice and creamy texture, and excellent absorption. It didn't dry out my skin, leaving it feeling moisturized and supple. It was easy to use, and the size was not too large, making it convenient to carry around.
Cons
It would be great if a larger capacity version was released. I love it so much that I use it every day, and it's a shame that it runs out so quickly.
Tip
On days when you don't apply a face pack after toner, you can just wipe with toner once and then immediately apply an essence, and it will make your skin just as moisturized as if you had used a face pack!

Pros
I used it from 1/27 to 2/10. Skin type: combination It has a bit of viscosity but spreads well. When I used the night care routine of serum + Nordic essence + moisturizer, it was quite nourishing and moisturizing, so my skin felt a bit overloaded the next morning. Switching to serum + Nordic essence / Nordic essence + moisturizer worked well. 👍 I was hoping my skin would brighten up due to the vitamin content, but I didn't notice a significant difference in 2 weeks, so I think I need to use it for a month to see the results. The scent is a typical refreshing citrus fragrance of vitamins. The scent is not unpleasant and feels natural, which I liked.
Cons
Those who use multiple ampoules and serums should not use the first one. It ends up feeling sticky, and the skin has difficulty absorbing the products applied afterward.

Pros
I have sensitive and dry skin! ⭐️Smooth application ⭐️Non-greasy ⭐️Absorbs well and leaves skin hydrated
Cons
⭐️The artificial orange fragrance was bothersome (I don't like fragranced products, so as soon as I opened it, the artificial orange scent spread and it was a bit disappointing when I applied it..but it was okay since the scent didn't linger when I applied other ampoules or lotions on top) ⭐️The ingredients weren't that great, so I was a bit concerned when absorbing it into my skin ⭐️It caused skin troubles (I'm not sure if it was because I used it with other products or because I applied something I don't normally use, but I started getting pimples and blemishes, so I ended up using it for only about a week before stopping) -This review was written as part of the Hwahae Trial Reviewers program-
Tip
The ampoule has a texture that is not watery, so it's fine to squeeze it directly onto your face and apply it.

Pros
Here is a review of using the product for over a week: The spreadability and absorption were very good. It's not a water-based formula, but has a slight viscosity. Once absorbed, it leaves a clean, non-sticky finish. The scent is a refreshing citrus, but not overpowering. The fragrance almost completely disappears once fully absorbed. Even those sensitive to scents should be able to use this product without issue. As a vitamin-based product, I had high expectations for the brightening effects. While I haven't seen dramatic whitening or fading of dark spots yet in this first week, I do feel my skin is looking clearer overall. I'm hopeful the effects will continue to improve with more consistent use. The standout for me is the sense that high-quality, beneficial ingredients have been used. I can feel the nourishing effects penetrating my skin. The overall texture and smoothness of my skin has visibly improved. And despite my usually reactive skin, I haven't experienced any breakouts, likely due to the lack of oil in the formula. This has been a major plus. I plan to continue using this serum consistently, as it seems gentle yet effective for my skin.
Cons
Even if I had to find it, I think it would have been better without the fragrance. Personally, I prefer fragrance-free, but the citrus fragrance isn't overwhelmingly strong. For dry skin types, using this product alone may not be enough to fully hydrate, and you'll likely need to use a cream on top for perfect moisturization. It doesn't seem suitable for standalone use as a hydrating product.
Tip
I used a toner for exfoliating, followed by a serum and then a cream, and my skin felt comfortable and great! If you find ampoules burdensome, you can try starting by mixing a little bit into your cream and applying it that way.

Pros
The conclusion after using it for 2 weeks, excluding the false claims, is that it is a product I would like to purchase once I finish it. The scent 👃 For someone as sensitive to scents as myself, at first an orange-like scent from the orange-colored packaging rose up, then a sweet and sour orange fragrance spread across my face. The scent does not linger for too long, so I think even those sensitive to scents can use it without burden. The application 🍮 I really liked that the product does not flow like water. When squeezed out of the dropper, it maintains a droplet-like shape, waiting to be patted in. It applies very smoothly, and as time passes, you can feel your skin becoming moisturized.
Cons
However, as I mentioned earlier about the fragrance, if you are very, very sensitive to fragrances, you may want to consider it a bit... If you are not that sensitive, the fragrance will dissipate over time, so I highly recommend purchasing it!!!!! Also, if I don't provide a good base, your skin may sometimes feel a bit tight even after using the product. This product also tends to have some skin tightness occasionally. I'll have to use it a bit more and come back to revise my assessment -:) Lastly, the 💵 high price is likely a factor that makes many consumers hesitate to purchase this product.

Pros
The fragrance is so lovely, and it glides on smoothly without any stickiness! After applying, there's a plump and supple feeling, as if your skin has been nourished from within. I think it would be great for those with dry skin. It's slightly bouncy and plump, and on the days I used it, my makeup seemed to apply better as well! Haha Also, when I apply it, it leaves a subtle glow, and I've had people comment that my skin looks great. 😉
Cons
It was a bit inconvenient that it didn't absorb quickly, so I had to wait quite a while before applying another product like a moisturizer on top. There was a slight slipping feeling when I applied another product before it was fully absorbed, and there were also some clumping issues, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, my husband and I used it together, and since he has oily skin, it seems that those with oily skin should be cautious as it may cause breakouts.

Pros
✅ Usage period January 25 - February 8 ✅ Fragrance It has a sweet orange candy scent. I like sweet fragrances, so I was satisfied. ✅ Spreadability The formulation is moderately runny, so it doesn't drip too much when applied, which was good. ✅ Absorption It applies smoothly and absorbs quickly. It doesn't feel sticky, and my skin feels plump after application. ✅ Usage experience After application, my skin immediately has a glow, and after using it consistently for about 2 weeks, my skin seems slightly brighter. The effects seem to justify the high price.
Cons
There were no particular downsides, and since it's winter, I think I would need to apply a moisturizer as well in addition to using it alone, so that it doesn't feel too dry. I didn't experience any breakouts while using it. The price seems a bit high, so I may not be able to use it regularly.
Tip
Filling the skin with a hydrating toner and serum first, then applying this product on top, leaves the skin feeling deeply moisturized with a protective moisture barrier. As this product contains Vitamin C, I tend to use it more in the evenings rather than in the mornings.

Pros
1. Absorption ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My family and I have been using it, and everyone unanimously mentioned that the great benefit is the satisfying finish. When I apply the right amount and gently spread it with my hands, it absorbs so refreshingly, leaving my skin supple (not sticky) - I really liked this aspect! 2. Texture ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The texture was great for smooth application! Since the texture itself feels lightweight, I think I can use it comfortably throughout the seasons. 3. Skin Irritation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As my whole family used it, we tried it on various skin types, and it worked amazingly well - my family members expressed a clear intention to repurchase. Especially, my mother has sensitive skin, and even the slightest mismatch in skincare products can upset her skin, but she used this ampoule without any issues. 4. Fragrance ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The fragrance was not unscented, but had a tangy, fruity aroma, like vitamins or Fanta. The fragrance served as a constant reminder that I was applying something beneficial.
Cons
The fragrance was pleasant to me, but it seems to be a scent that may divide opinions.
Tip
A small amount can be absorbed into the entire face, so if you gently dab it on, it will be quickly absorbed, allowing you to move on to the next skincare step without having to wait too long.

Pros
The color is transparent and the texture is slightly sticky. When applied, it has an orange 🍊 scent, so those who dislike the orange smell may not like it (I personally enjoyed the orange scent...). The application is smooth, just like other emulsions - it's moisturizing, absorbs quickly, and isn't bad. At the end, it remains supple. Since it's winter these days, my skin has become (quite) dry, but applying it every 3 days has made my skin brighter and more moisturized. I have combination skin, but I think it would be better suited for dry skin types rather than oily.
Cons
In humid seasons like summer, this ampoule may not be very useful for those with oily or combination skin types. It's only effective when there's a lot of dead skin, but when there's no dead skin, it feels just like other ampoules. The ampoule has a sticky formulation, so even after it's fully absorbed, a sticky residue remains on the face, making it prone to attracting dust, and the hair also tends to stick to the face.
Tip
On the evenings when I have severe peeling, after applying [Hwahae], the next day the peeling is no longer visible.
