I applied it once in the morning and once in the evening. The first image shows the product, the second is from day one, and the third is from the last day. Though the skin tone looks darker in the third photo because it was taken at night, my actual complexion remained the same. Now, let me list the advantages! 1. Packaging & Application The dropper bottle makes it easy to use! It has a runny texture, so you need to apply it quickly. I loved how it's moisturizing and absorbs well into the skin. 2. Gentle on Skin Perhaps due to its mild ingredients, there was no irritation or itching. While I don't usually get large blemishes, I occasionally had small bumps, but these seemed to occur less frequently while using this product. 3. Improved Skin Texture Although there's no instant transformation, with consistent use, I felt my skin texture improving. Comparing the photos, I could really see the difference! It even seems to have reduced my smile lines.
ConsNow for the downsides: 1. Quantity is Lacking Because this product flows easily and absorbs quickly, I tend to use more in one application. I wish it came in a larger size. 2. Pores I'm prone to blackheads, and I felt like sebum built up a bit more easily compared to other serums I've used. However, this might be because my previous serum had pore-minimizing effects... This product doesn't seem particularly effective for enlarged pores.
TipTo get sufficient hydration on your face, you should probably use a full dropper of product! If that's not enough, you can always use a bit more. With other serums, I used to apply one drop on my forehead, one on each cheek, and one on my nose. But with this product, because it absorbs quickly and flows easily, you need to be more generous with the amount you dispense.

Excellent! It makes the skin texture soft and moisturized! While it's fragrance-free, there's a very faint scent reminiscent of Fucidin ointment. It seems to be the product's unique scent. The subtle fragrance wasn't off-putting. The texture is like a runny essence that drips. A small amount is enough to cover the entire face, and while it doesn't absorb quickly, it's good to pat it in. As it's a hydrating ampoule, it effectively combats deep dryness. The most noticeable effect was a significant reduction in dryness and the skin becoming incredibly soft! Even when I couldn't wash my face for two days, my skin remained remarkably soft. It doesn't necessarily make the skin firm and elastic, but it does alleviate dryness, leaving the skin moisturized and velvety soft.
ConsIt doesn't brighten the complexion, soothe blemishes, lighten pigmentation, or tighten pores. This product focuses solely on its function as a hydrating ampoule.
TipSince it moisturizes and improves skin texture, it would work well in combination with products that offer other benefits.

First off, I was drawn to the appealing blue case and color - it's quite eye-catching! My skin used to be very oily combination, but it's shifted to dry, so hydration has become crucial for me. This product contains important moisturizing ingredients, which made me excited to try it. However, I was a bit concerned about the stearic acid, which can clog pores. In my experience, pore-clogging ingredients often lead to blemishes. Fortunately, I didn't experience any blemishes during this short trial period. The hydration seems to be quite effective. The texture isn't completely clear, but has a slight viscosity that suggests the presence of hyaluronic acid. I appreciate that it's slightly acidic with a pH of 6, and the fragrance is so subtle it's barely noticeable, which I prefer. Overall, I find this to be a decent product that's easy to use, and I would consider purchasing it again.
ConsThe inclusion of stearic acid, an ingredient known to clog pores, is somewhat disappointing. While most people might use it without issues, there's a potential for blemishes, which makes me hesitant about long-term use.

Texture and Application: It's quite fluid, though not as runny as water. There's a slight viscosity to it - when I put some on the back of my hand for a photo, it immediately started to drip. It absorbs well and quickly. Though it might not be visible in the photos (see the last one), there was a very slight oiliness right after application. I also noticed a tiny bit of stickiness, but both the oiliness and stickiness disappeared quickly, so it wasn't a problem. Hydration: Using this alone might leave your skin feeling a bit dry, but since you'd typically follow up with a cream, it's not a major issue. Fragrance: It's perfectly fragrance-free. Often, unscented cosmetics can have a rubber-like smell, making you wish they had added a fragrance. However, this one truly has no scent at all, which I really appreciated.
ConsI haven't found any significant drawbacks while using it so far. The biggest con would be the inclusion of that pore-clogging ingredient I mentioned earlier.

No oily residue. (Skin feels very soft after absorption) - Reasonably priced. (55ml / $18.90 regular price)
Cons- Not extremely hydrating - Feels a bit lacking in moisture for a hydrating essence - Ingredients are generally good, but be cautious of pore-clogging components. (Questionable why such ingredients are in an essence)
Tip- Seems suitable for the current warming season or summer - Additional moisturizer is definitely necessary - When used alone (occasional skincare diet), layering 3+ times appears necessary

It also seems to have a soothing effect. With ingredients like Centella Asiatica extract and allantoin, it's likely to suit sensitive or super sensitive skin well. It finishes without any stickiness, leaving a fresh feel, so I found I could layer it multiple times without any discomfort. As the seasonal change begins and the office gets dry in the afternoon, I like to apply it 2-3 times in the morning and finish with a hydrating cream. It's lightweight and the volume is just right, making it convenient to pack for travel.
ConsSince this product focuses on hydration, it lacks other functional benefits. You'll need to use additional products for wrinkles or brightening. There's also one pore-clogging ingredient, which is a bit disappointing.
