Pros
Absorption and application: It applies smoothly and absorbs quickly, making it convenient to use. Some hydrating serums can be slow to absorb, but this one was easy to work with. After absorption, it leaves no sticky residue, making it perfect as a daily skincare item! Deep hydration: I think this serum really tackles deep dryness! Some products only focus on surface hydration, but this one feels like it's moisturizing from within. After two weeks of use, I didn't experience any particular skin tightness even after cleansing! I'm also satisfied with the simple, clean ingredient list that's focused solely on hydration.
Cons
My skin produced more oil than usual. I had to manage it with blotting papers throughout the day. It was quite intense on the first day and although it decreased, there was still an overall feeling of increased oiliness... While it's decent, I'm disappointed that there's nothing particularly compelling about this product.

Pros
First off, I got to try this product through the Hwahae Testers event! My skin type is dry with somewhat large pores. With the changing seasons, I was worried about my skin being too dry, but I'm really glad I got to try this product. It's colorless and fragrance-free. The texture looked quite thick at first glance, but when I applied it to my skin, it was thinner than expected and absorbs well. The absorption rate is good, and I think it would be great to use when you need quick hydration for your skin! There's no irritation at all, so I'd recommend it for super sensitive skin or dry skin types. However, since it seems to have very little oil content, I think even those without dry skin could use it. Also, for those with dry skin, as I mentioned earlier, since this product doesn't leave any oily residue, you might be more satisfied if you follow it up with an emulsion or cream after using this ampoule to complement that aspect.
Cons
Depending on the user, some might find the ampoule too light, but I was satisfied as I think it would be great for spring to summer use.
Tip
Since this product doesn't leave any oily residue, you might be more satisfied if you follow it up with an emulsion or cream after using this ampoule to complement that aspect.

Pros
Perfect for the dry transitional season - lightweight and not burdensome to apply. The texture is just right, absorbing well without any stickiness, and even leaves a subtle glow! I especially loved that the scent isn't too strong or overpowering.
Cons
Those with very dry skin might find it slightly lacking for winter use, but for me, it was just right.

Pros
True to its claim of containing deep hydration from Jeju volcanic seawater, I felt my skin being deeply moisturized from the very first use. As someone with dry skin, it effectively addressed my deep dryness, keeping my skin comfortable without any tightness all day, even when applied before makeup. The texture is light and smooth, absorbing quickly into the skin. This makes it perfect for layering without feeling heavy. After use, my skin texture became noticeably smoother. With 8 types of hyaluronic acid and a 6-type ceramide complex, it strengthens the moisture barrier effectively. Thanks to the Jeju Marine Complex, it also calmed my sensitive skin without any irritation. What I loved: • Dual moisturizing effect that hydrates from deep within • Quick absorption + non-sticky finish • A gentle, vegan ampoule suitable even for sensitive skin days • Excellent moisture retention (stays hydrated until night without tightness!) Overall, this product truly lives up to the saying 'leaves only moisture behind'! I'd highly recommend it as a daily hydrating ampoule. I was so satisfied that I found myself wishing they'd release a larger size in the future.
Cons
It was such a pleasant and easy-to-use product that I honestly can't think of any downsides.

Pros
Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I received the product on April 29th and have been using it as the first step in my skincare routine, morning and evening, after cleansing with toner since April 30th. First impression - The packaging is sleek, and the color gives off a refreshing vibe that promises to pack a hydrating punch. I started using it with high expectations. Texture - It has a typical serum/ampoule consistency, slightly more fluid than water. It applies smoothly and absorbs quite quickly. For reference, I use a device to help with absorption. Usage - Depending on the weather, I apply 1-3 layers. After two layers, my skin feels deeply hydrated. I follow up with Mela-lab and niacinamide, and I'm satisfied with how smooth everything feels. For context, my skin isn't particularly sensitive, but it's on the thinner side, combination leaning slightly dry. While it might be a bit early to judge after just over a week of use, it hasn't caused any blemishes and absorbs well. I think it'll be great for use during this season of big temperature fluctuations and even into summer.
Cons
I don't have any particular complaints, but I do wish we had been given more time to use the product before writing this review. However, I'm satisfied with it so far and would recommend it to those with similar skin types.

Pros
As someone with combination dehydrated skin, my face tends to get oily quickly after applying makeup. I was on the hunt for a hydrating product when I got the chance to try this one out. I found it convenient that the consistency isn't too runny - it has just the right flow when dispensed with the dropper. I use it after my exfoliating toner, and it absorbs well without leaving any residue on the skin. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized, and it plays well with other creams or products I apply afterwards. It's really great for daily use!
Cons
I haven't experienced any issues with fragrance or irritation, so I've been using it without any problems.
Tip
If you layer it on a couple of times before applying makeup, your foundation goes on much smoother.

Pros
▶ I'm in my late 20s with combination dehydrated and sensitive skin! This review is after about 2 weeks of use. 1. Texture The consistency is closer to thin mucus rather than being watery. It's transparent and fragrance-free, which should be great for those sensitive to scents. 2. Application I barely noticed any stickiness, to the point where I'd say there's none. Using the dropper, it spreads easily on the face. After applying and patting it in, it absorbs quickly without leaving any residue. Its non-sticky nature makes it perfect for those who dislike tacky feelings and for daily use even in the height of summer. 3. Hydration It absorbs rapidly, providing instant hydration. It effectively combats deep dryness and reduces facial heat, making it ideal for post-shower use. As someone with combination dehydrated skin who dislikes oiliness, I was satisfied with how it provides hydration without any rich feeling. However, those with dry skin might need to use an additional moisturizer.
Cons
▷ The amount dispensed from the dropper in one go feels a bit small and somewhat stiff. Given it's a hydrating serum with a light texture, I find myself applying multiple layers. I wish it came in a larger size.
Tip
With its gentle ingredients and focus on hydration, this product could be great for those with very oily or super sensitive skin. For combination dehydrated skin types, I'd recommend using this product at night and following up with a light emulsion or cream to lock in the moisture.

Pros
I've been using this product for a solid 2 weeks. I have non-sensitive, slightly oily T-zone skin. The texture is more of a jelly-water hybrid rather than pure water-based. It feels refreshing when applied, and surprisingly has no scent at all, which I initially found odd but realized it's perfect for those who prefer fragrance-free products. The absorption is fantastic - it sinks right in, especially if you gently pat it into your skin. I love that it leaves no sticky residue. While it's good year-round, I think it would be particularly amazing during hot summers. Highly recommended for summer use!
Cons
I didn't find any significant downsides while using it. If I had to nitpick, I'd say it's better suited for summer rather than winter use.
Tip
I'd recommend this for those with oily/combination skin looking for light hydration in summer. It's also great for those who prefer fragrance-free hydrating serums. You won't experience any intense tightness when first applying it, and it seems to moisturize well. However, if you have dry skin, you might want to layer an additional moisturizer on top. The Hwahae Testers would likely approve of its absorbs well and how it works hard to balance oil and moisture without causing irritation or blemishes.

Pros
When I used this product, I honestly felt it helped more with improving skin texture than hydration! It absorbs well and rather than feeling sticky, it gives a strong sensation of deep moisture replenishment. I'd recommend this to those who haven't been able to settle on a hydrating ampoule. It would be great for dry or combination dehydrated skin, but I think it might be hit or miss for oily or combination skin types. The next morning when cleansing, you can definitely feel that your skin texture is smoother.
Cons
Since I was already using an ampoule with a slightly lighter texture, I didn't find myself reaching for this one very often. However, on days when I needed some serious skin care, I did find myself using it! The container itself requires a bit of effort to pull out the dropper.

Pros
☆ Skin Type Combination dehydrated skin with sensitivity + seasonally extremely dry skin ☆ Texture Water-based ampoule ☆ Before and After Use While I often hesitate to use sticky ampoules, this one has a light texture. Recently, my skin has been dry and plagued with dead skin cells no matter what I do, but this absorbs quickly which is great! It also feels light enough to use in summer! Even after applying two or three layers, it doesn't feel rich. Another point to praise! The cool blue color gives a refreshing feeling. ♡ No blemishes~ ♡ Lightweight ampoule!! ♡ Absorbs well ♡ Can apply multiple layers without feeling heavy!
Cons
Since it's a lightweight ampoule and I tend to use it multiple times in one application, I felt the volume was a bit lacking.
