That's when I received this Mamonde serum to try. I was a bit worried about using it as a Hwahae Tester, especially since my skin was acting up. I feared it might make things worse, but fortunately, it didn't cause any additional blemishes. In fact, it seemed to calm down the small bumps quite quickly. The serum claims to be good for treating skin marks, but I noticed it's more effective for rough skin texture and dead skin cells rather than post-acne redness. So, I didn't see much improvement in terms of red marks. However, it was definitely great for managing skin texture and exfoliation. Just by adding this serum to my usual routine, my skin became more hydrated. When I applied makeup, it went on beautifully, and my complexion had this subtle glow that made my skin look absolutely gorgeous! I think this would work well for dry skin types, might be a bit heavy for oily skin, and for combination dehydrated skin, it should be fine with proper amount control. Mamonde seems to excel in improving skin texture and soothing dead skin cells.
ConsOne aspect I found a bit disappointing was the fragrance... While other reviewers mentioned a floral scent, I'm quite sensitive to smells, and to me, it had an artificial cosmetic scent. It might just be me, but it reminded me of... the smell of new products? Like the scent of new silicone kitchen utensils? The fragrance isn't overpowering, so it's usable, but every time I apply it, I can't shake off that 'new product' smell. Also, most ampoules/serums I've used had straight dropper tips, but this one is curved. It felt a bit awkward to use. With straight tips, you can hold them any way, but with the curved one, I felt like I had to align the tip in a certain direction when picking up the product.
TipAt first, it felt like it was just sitting on top of my skin, making it hard to control the amount. I found that applying small amounts in multiple layers helps it absorb better without that surface feeling, allowing it to penetrate the skin well!

It absorbs well, and when mixed with cream, it leaves my skin feeling comfortable and velvety soft.
ConsI'm not sure about its effectiveness in calming redness yet. I'll need to use it more to tell! Also, as someone sensitive to fragrances, I noticed a slight rubber-like scent which was a bit disappointing.
TipOn days when my skin feels irritated, I applied this after cleansing and followed with a mask. It left my skin feeling soft and comfortable.

I'm sharing my review after using this product for a week. I had some blemishes around my nose from using the wrong skincare products, but after using this, they're starting to calm down! Lately, I've been applying just this ampoule after my skincare routine. It leaves my skin feeling firm without any tightness, and there's no sticky residue, which I love. It seems to be gentle enough for daily use, which is great.
ConsIt was a bit inconvenient to dispense the essence with the dropper as it doesn't draw up smoothly. As for the scent, there was initially a plastic-like smell when applied, but it dissipated quickly so it wasn't too bothersome.

It feels like it has a nice balance of hydration with a touch of richness, so I replaced my usual cream with this in my skincare routine. What I love is that even with this change, my skin never felt dry or tight. As you can see in the photo, the texture is slightly more dense than your typical ampoule. Perhaps that's why my skin still felt moisturized long after application. If you're like me and don't enjoy layering multiple products, this could work well as part of a simplified routine with just one or two other items. Despite having acne-prone, oily skin, I didn't experience any blemishes. I might be imagining it, but I think it even helped a bit with redness.
ConsThe scent reminds me of budget skincare products, which wasn't a great first impression. If you're particular about fragrances, this might be a drawback for you.
TipPersonally, I found this ampoule moisturizing enough to use on its own. Even with my oily skin, it didn't feel heavy or suffocating. The oil and moisture balance seems just right. If you're looking to streamline your skincare routine, this could be a great option to consider.

Although sensitive, there is no acne or reddening of the face. There is a slight stickiness after application, but it is not severe. It feels moisturized even with a small amount of application.
ConsThe fragrance reminds me of my father's cologne.

I've been struggling with redness and blemishes lately, along with dryness, but this ampoule seems to be working well!
ConsThe 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.
TipGently patting it in gives maximum results!

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)
ConsEven 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.

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!
ConsThe 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.

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.
ConsIt 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.
TipI recommend this lightweight hydrating ampoule for oily or combination dehydrated skin.
