Cons- The promised cooling effect isn't very noticeable - Due to its thin consistency, it runs out faster than expected (might not be the best value for money) - Didn't see significant results for blemish marks or soothing - The dropper is a bit stiff to use

The packaging is cute though. The dispenser tip is curved, which made it convenient to use.
ConsAs for the cooling effect... honestly, I'm not sure. Maybe it's slightly cool? Also, I felt a rich texture on the application area. And it feels a bit dry when used alone.
TipWell... I'd say don't bother buying it. I got it cheap from Cine's Market, so I don't regret it, but I won't be repurchasing.

It has a jelly-like texture...? It's not runny at all, but more like a very light soothing cream with a gel-like consistency. Despite this, it didn't feel heavy at all! When applied, it felt like it absorbed quickly and effortlessly into the skin. Absorption: Because it's thicker than typical watery serums, some might find the finish relatively heavier in comparison. However, it's not a heavy, oily feeling - depending on your skin condition, some days it absorbs instantly, and other days it leaves a slight residue. The difference is minimal. Skin type: I've had dry-leaning skin all winter, but as the weather's getting warmer, I'm starting to notice a bit of oiliness creeping in. So far, this hasn't caused any blemishes! I'm not sure if I'll be able to use this thicker hydrating serum consistently in the peak of summer, especially since I didn't really feel much of a cooling effect.
ConsCooling effect: As mentioned earlier, I didn't really feel much of a cooling effect (actually, none at all...). While it did feel hydrating, without the cooling sensation, I didn't get that refreshing hydration feeling, nor did I notice it lowering my skin temperature. Functionality: Since it's not a blemish-fighting serum, I didn't feel it calming any breakouts at all. It seems to focus solely on hydration! I haven't noticed any reduction in skin blemishes yet, but that might be because I haven't used it for very long. I know niacinamide is supposed to brighten the complexion, but even that effect is questionable... There haven't been any dramatic results so far.
TipNevertheless, the jelly-like texture was quite refreshing, and I couldn't find many downsides in terms of hydration. It seems like a good product for everyday use when your skin is behaving normally!

It's a product I like because it's so easy to use. 1. No blemishes The best thing was that I didn't get any blemishes after using this product. So I could apply it liberally without worry. 2. No irritation It has such a mild feel that there's no irritation, making it seem suitable for anyone to use. 3. Quantity The amount is more than I expected. 4. Not sticky There's no discomfort from stickiness. 5. Hydration At first, it felt like applying a water toner, but as I used it more, it felt like applying a soothing gel. It's great for light, non-heavy use. 6. Application The texture feels like a soothing gel, which was surprisingly nice. Because of this, it spreads well and was easy to apply on the face.
ConsWhile there aren't major drawbacks, here are a few minor points: 1. Handle To use the ampoule, you need to press the handle, which is quite firm and requires some strength. 2. Dropper absorption When you press the top to use the ampoule, it only fills about half? So if you want to apply it up to your neck, you need to press it again. It's a bit inconvenient. 3. Hydration and cooling effect I didn't find it exceptional. The cooling effect was subtle, and the hydration felt like applying a light soothing gel. It absorbs quickly, but when you touch your skin, it doesn't feel like you've applied much, sometimes making you wonder if your skin is dry. This might be a matter of personal preference. 4. Effect on skin marks Not significant. I'm using it thinking it's just a decent ampoule. However, these points aren't majorly bothersome, so overall, I think it's a decent product. I reach for it often, so I'll likely keep using it regularly, alternating with other products.

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.

However...
ConsThe most anticipated effect of covering blemish traces was minimal. Of course, since the usage period was short, the effect may not have been observed, so I will try to use up the remaining amount and revise the review later. The cooling effect was not felt at all. There was no noticeable brightening or clarifying effect on the skin. In winter or during seasonal changes, the moisture level was insufficient, and even double-layering was not enough. The dropper format was hygienic, which was good, but the suction power when pressed once seemed weak, so I had to press it several times. This ampoule was applied for expecting the effect of alleviating blemish traces rather than moisture, so it was a rather disappointing product for me personally, but since the usage period was short, I will try it out a bit more and revise my opinion. As a moisture ampoule, it is adequate and unremarkable, but since there are so many moisture ampoules or serums, the competitiveness is a bit lacking if it does not both provide moisture and cover blemishes.

It is extremely dry and I have a lot of inflammatory acne. If the product contains pore-clogging ingredients, I will definitely get acne. Tea tree and aloe do not agree with me, but the other ingredients are fine. ✅ Texture It's not a watery texture, but a dense, pudding-like feel. When I place it on the back of my hand and tilt it, it doesn't flow. It applies smoothly and isn't heavy. It absorbs lightly and leaves no stickiness at all. ✅ Blemishes & Marks I only have a week to write a review, so I'm not sure yet. There was no increase in breakouts, but I'm still unsure if it fades marks. It seems a bit lighter, but I'm not certain. ✅ Fragrance Since I have severe rhinitis, I'm not sure, but it's not strong. There's a faint scent when applying that goes away quickly and doesn't bother me. It's a slightly cooling fragrance, almost like a men's skincare scent... It doesn't give me a headache or anything. +Update After using it for a few more days, the red scars have definitely faded noticeably. I still haven't had any major breakouts. I'm not saying I haven't had any at all, but compared to my usual, the painful cystic ones haven't appeared much lately - just the occasional small blemish or two. I'm updating my original 4-star rating to 5 stars. I would repurchase this product!
ConsThe formula is lightweight, so I didn't really feel any dryness. Layering it a few times helps a bit.
