However, as I continued using it, I realized it's not so hard that it strains your hand. In fact, it's better than softer droppers as there's no worry about it tearing. Absorption: I've tried several hydrating ampoules including To*'s, Ju*'s, and this Milbam Volcanic Sea Water Ampoule. Comparing the three, I'd say Ju*'s has the best absorption, while the Milbam one is moderate. Important note: If you have very oily skin or prefer quickly absorbing ampoules, I'd recommend trying a different product than the Milbam ampoule. Gentle formula: I'm always concerned about potential side effects or irritation when trying new products. Thankfully, this ampoule, made with Jeju volcanic sea water, was gentle enough for even sensitive skin types to use without any irritation. Hydration: The product page emphasizes hydration, and I was curious to see how it would feel. Using it was like pouring harmless water onto my face - the hydration was truly impressive. Moisturization: This ampoule focuses on both surface and deep moisturization. As someone with oily skin, I found it most suitable for use during seasonal changes or in autumn and winter. It might feel a bit heavy for oily skin in summer, so I'd recommend using it in cooler seasons. It's also great for dry skin types, so if you're on the fence, give it a try! Glow: I wasn't expecting a glowing effect, but I was surprised to see my skin looking radiant after applying the ampoule. Turns out, it's mentioned on the product page! It's not an overwhelming dewy look, but a natural glow that those who prefer a subtle radiance will appreciate.
ConsDeep hydration: After using it, I'd say it's more of an average product rather than a solution for deep dehydration. It doesn't completely resolve deep dryness, but it's not ineffective either. It's somewhat... ambiguous? Cooling effect: I didn't notice any cooling effect or reduction in skin temperature when using this product. Not available at Olive Young: It's disappointing that the Milbam brand, including this Volcanic Sea Water Ampoule, isn't available at Olive Young stores. It can only be purchased through Hwahae or the official website, which makes it less accessible.

But you know when your skin is really acting up, you should avoid everything else, even skip regenerative products, and just focus on hydration and soothing, right? This month, I had a massive pimple on my chin and inflammatory acne popping up all over, so I needed something gentle to apply. This product is absolutely perfect for that! The texture is like clear runny mucus, so even one layer feels moisturizing, but if you apply two, it becomes delightfully plump. For those with oily skin, this might be all you need for the upcoming summer - it's that hydrating! The mucus-like texture combined with panthenol, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides seems to really let your skin rest and recover. For dry skin like mine, I'd recommend following up with a light cream to prevent dryness in areas like the butterfly zone as time passes. I thought it felt moisturizing enough on its own, so I just applied sunscreen and went out, but when the wind hit, I felt a slight tightness in the butterfly zone.
ConsI was hoping for a bit of a cooling effect, but there wasn't any. Since my face tends to get hot, I would have liked a cool sensation. It would be great if it could maintain that non-irritating feel even on freshly popped blemishes while providing a cooling effect...
TipI highly recommend this for those times when your skin is so sensitive that it seems to react negatively to everything you apply. It's especially good when hormonal changes are wreaking havoc on your skin. I think it would also be perfect for those vacation disasters when your skin goes haywire due to environmental changes - I'm planning to take it on my upcoming trip to China!
