Pros
I have oily skin, and this product has a nice hydrating feel with a blue transparent formula! I've been struggling with redness and blemishes lately, along with dryness, but this ampoule seems to be working well!
Cons
The scent was a bit disappointing! There's a slight artificial fragrance, but as long as it's effective, that's what matters. Still, the hydration is top-notch.
Tip
Gently patting it in gives maximum results!

Pros
I'm writing this review after using the product for over a week:) When I first received it, I didn't immediately apply it to my face. Instead, I started by testing it on the inside of my arm. There was absolutely no irritation or redness. (I'll mention the drawbacks below.) While I personally prefer unscented products, if you don't mind fragrances, this should be fine. The absorption is light and pleasant. The amount dispensed feels naturally controlled... (the dropper is stiffer compared to other products)
Cons
Even though there were no issues when I tested it on my inner arm and neck, when I applied it to my face, it felt slightly itchy and caused some blemishes. I'm not sure if this is specifically due to this product or if it's because my skin is more sensitive than usual due to the changing seasons... I might need to try this again in a different season. The cosmetic fragrance is quite strong. For those with super sensitive skin, I recommend carefully considering before purchasing.

Pros
As someone with combination dehydrated skin that's sensitive and prone to blemishes, I've been dealing with more milia due to the dry spring weather. I needed a hydrating ampoule, and this product turned out to be the perfect moisture-boosting serum for my skin concerns. The gel texture doesn't run like water, making it easy to apply on the face. While it does provide hydration, it forms a slight film - almost like an essence. Those with oily skin might find it a bit heavy for summer use. Initially, one layer didn't feel quite hydrating enough, so I applied a second layer. This resulted in a slightly sticky finish! I wasn't sure about its soothing effects at first, but as I continued using it, I noticed my redness subsiding and blemish marks fading, which was great. Many of my milia disappeared too!
Cons
The texture seems insufficient for dry skin types, yet potentially too heavy for oily skin. It might be quite season-dependent. I'm not sure why they added fragrance, but it smells like my dad's aftershave lotion. They claim it has a cooling effect, but it's barely noticeable - definitely not enough to lower skin temperature. The Benton pore serum feels much cooler on the skin.

Pros
* This review is from a member of The Hwahae Testers with combination skin (oily T-zone, normal U-zone) after using the product for a week. 1. The moment I applied it, I felt a cool sensation and it provided ample hydration, eliminating deep dryness. Despite the sudden cold weather recently, my cheeks didn't feel tight, and areas that used to itch when dry were comfortable. 2. A few days before using this ampoule, I had extracted several blemishes, but while using this product, I noticed the marks faded significantly. As someone prone to blemish scars, this was really satisfying. 3. The ampoule container is semi-transparent, making it easy to see how much product is left. The amount dispensed by the dropper was just right for each use. 4. The texture isn't runny like water, but more like a thin water jelly, making it easy to apply on the face. 5. After application, it didn't feel sticky, leaving only a fresh, hydrated feeling which I loved. This ampoule is great for oily or combination dehydrated skin.
Cons
It has a slightly artificial floral scent, close to mint, which was a bit disappointing. I think it would be better if it were fragrance-free.
Tip
I recommend this lightweight hydrating ampoule for oily or combination dehydrated skin.

Pros
✓ Skin Type | Combination dehydrated skin + Blemishes and texture concerns - Texture | First off, it's a unique gel texture I haven't seen before. It has a sort of 'breaking' feel, with tiny particles visible but not felt on the hand. Yet, it glides on smoothly like water. It's quite distinctive among the serums/ampoules I've tried so far. - Hydration | Initially gel-like, it melts into the skin with body heat, spreading easily like water. It provides good hydration without feeling oily. Likely suitable for oily skin types or hot summer use. - Effects | While I didn't notice significant improvements in skin soothing or blemish reduction, it's a nice, lightweight ampoule. Plus, it comes in a generous 50ml size.
Cons
- Scent | Unfortunately, it has that typical artificial cosmetic fragrance that might be off-putting to some. - Moisturizing | There's a slight stickiness right after application, and it can cause pilling after absorption. You'll need to carefully pair it with other skincare products or avoid using it before makeup. - I experienced some minor blemishes after use, but after testing, it's unclear whether this product was the cause. It's a bit ambiguous.
Tip
Recommended for those who enjoy lightweight hydrating gel textures, have oily skin, or are looking for a suitable product for hot summer months.

Pros
The capacity is large and my skin is sensitive, so even a slight mismatch can cause problems. However, I did not experience any issues. Additionally, I was pleased with the design that allows usage up to the edges, as it is curved. While the scar effect was limited due to the review writing period restriction, and I did not see much effect in a short time, it was still good for daily, unremarkable use.
Cons
The downside is that I don't care, but those who dislike the fragrance of cosmetics may not like it. And the name has a trace in it, but in the short term, I'm not sure if there's much of a difference.
Tip
I've tried using MTS, but there wasn't a dramatic effect. However, it's good to use it daily to provide a cooling sensation as the weather gets warmer, by simply applying it cold.

Pros
Here is the English translation of the Korean text: The Hwahae Trial Reviewers have reviewed the Mamonde Calming Shot Blue Hydrating Ampoule containing azulene. As someone with sensitive, trouble-prone skin, I was pleased that I did not experience any issues after using this product. While I did not see dramatic effects after a few days of use, the ampoule did provide a decent level of hydration to my skin. Product design: I am satisfied with the stylish design. The blue color and the cute marble-shaped cap are eye-catching. Texture: It is a medium-weight ampoule texture, which I think would be suitable for use during seasonal changes or in the summer. Fragrance: Personally, I found the fragrance to be acceptable. Application: The product seems to absorb well into the skin, helping to replenish moisture. The texture and application are about average. Conclusion: This is a good hydrating ampoule to use during breezy seasonal changes or in the summer to supplement skin moisture.
Cons
In my highly personal opinion, I felt that this ampoule had a slight hint of alcohol fragrance, which was a bit disappointing to me. And while I didn't use it for an extended period, I didn't notice any particularly dramatic effects on my skin.
Tip
Proper skin care can improve skin condition. After applying toner, using this ampoule and then applying cream before makeup can help nourish the skin and prevent dryness.

Pros
In the summer, it is absorbed lightly enough to be used without any issues and there is almost no stickiness left. As it is a trace ampoule, it contains azulene as a key ingredient, but it doesn't seem to be in a very high concentration. However, since it is originally an expensive raw material, I don't think the effect is as negligible as I had heard. Since the Hwahae Trial Reviewers period was not very long, there was no noticeable improvement in traces after using it for about a week. However, in addition to azulene, it also contains a fairly high concentration of niacinamide, so I think it will be helpful in improving traces like pigmentation if used consistently. Above all, I'm glad that this product didn't cause any breakouts, as trace care products can sometimes end up just increasing trace breakouts. I also like that it's a large 50ml ampoule and the price is reasonable considering the volume.
Cons
I don't think it's a bad idea to apply a bold design pattern to the packaging, but the plastic packaging looks a bit cheap. Even other Amore Pacific brands like Laneige are able to make plastic packaging look premium. This packaging design seems a bit disappointing for an Amore Pacific product. I guess the lower price point is the reason for this. When I first used it, I found the artificial fragrance smell to be irritating, but it gets absorbed quickly and the scent isn't too strong, so I got used to it after using it a few times.
Tip
Compared to other serums or ampoules, it is relatively lightweight and absorbs quickly, so it is best used in the earlier steps of the skincare routine. If your skin needs more hydration, it is recommended to follow up with sufficient moisturizing afterwards.

Pros
I originally thought this product would suit me well since the Azulene ingredient usually agrees with me, and sure enough, it suits me perfectly! The texture looks dense, but as you spread it, it melts into the skin temperature and leaves just a moisturized, lightweight feel. It might not be enough hydration for dry skin. These past few days, the sudden heat spike caused my skin to feel inflamed, and this was just perfect for that. Since I haven't been experiencing any particular troubles lately, I didn't really notice a calming effect, but I used it well as a simple, moisturizing ampoule.
Cons
Other people's reviews also mentioned that the fragrance... is not too strong, but it is an artificial fragrance, so it's not that great.

Pros
The design is cute and personally appealing to me, and the blue ampoule gives a refreshing and moisturizing impression visually. The texture and application are smooth, not flowing like water but rather holding moisture together. When applied to the back of the hand or face, it does not immediately run off, making it easier to use than a water-type ampoule. When spread on the skin, it absorbs softly without feeling heavy. After application, there is a slight cooling sensation that lasts longer than expected. After absorption, there is a supple and bouncy finish that forms a protective layer on the skin, maintaining a bouncy and dense texture for a good amount of time. Even over time, the skin does not easily become dry, and the hydration feels sufficient on its own. For extremely dry skin, it may be a bit lacking, but for my slightly dry skin, using the ampoule with a light lotion was more suitable than with a heavier cream. Despite having sensitive skin, there was no significant discomfort in using the product comfortably. (Additional note: When using the ampoule with a cream, I personally experienced some blemishes.) The visible improvement effect as the product name suggests is not clearly noticeable in the short term. However, the cooling sensation helped soothe the redness, which was a positive effect. In conclusion, it is a satisfactory product with a light feel yet providing adequate moisture, hydration, and soothing effects. Given the positive impact on redness, continued use may also yield expected improvements in other visible concerns.
Cons
Personally, I am quite sensitive to fragrances, so I faintly detected a slight rubber-like scent. However, the fragrance dissipated quickly, so if you are not overly sensitive to scents, using this product should not cause significant discomfort.
