If the surrounding humidity drops even slightly, my skin becomes so dry that blemishes appear. This product has a mucus-like consistency, so it doesn't drip like water but stays in place when applied. When it touches the skin and starts to absorb, you can feel your skin 'drinking in the moisture'. It quickly calms the skin with a sudden burst of hydration. While it doesn't absorb instantly like water-based products, those with very dry or dry skin like me will likely be very satisfied. Another plus is that it doesn't run like water, so it seems to last longer than other water-based products. For reference, I tend to apply generously due to my dry skin. I found I used less of this product compared to water-based ones, as it provides sufficient hydration when absorbed into the skin. I was really satisfied with this product!
ConsInitially, the rubber top of the dropper was a bit stiff, so it didn't fully extend and only came up a little, requiring multiple applications. However, this issue improved after using it a couple of times, so it wasn't a major inconvenience. Other than that, I didn't find any shortcomings!

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.
TipWith 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.

Absorbs well It's not too runny or drippy, but has just the right consistency. The texture makes it easy to apply smoothly without it sliding off your face. 2. Effects Its subtle effects can be both a pro and a con. It's not exceptionally hydrating, nor is it too lightweight. It seems to be a good daily option for various skin types, offering a comfortable and versatile experience.
Cons1. Hydration As mentioned in the pros, it's not particularly moisturizing. For someone with dry skin like me, it falls a bit short as a night care product in terms of hydration. 2. Scent While it's mostly fragrance-free, there's a faint medicinal smell that might be slightly off-putting for those with super sensitive skin. On the bright side, the scent dissipates quickly after application.

Packaging: Most essences with dropper applicators come in glass bottles, but this product's plastic packaging makes it much lighter and perfect for travel. Texture: The formula isn't completely watery; it has a slight viscosity. However, it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a sticky residue, so it layers well with other skincare products without pilling. Hydration: At first, I was worried the hydration might evaporate quickly like water, but I was pleasantly surprised by how long-lasting the moisturizing effect was.
ConsI didn't experience any particular discomfort while using this product!
TipThis product is recommended for those with combination dehydrated skin who have felt uncomfortable with the stickiness of essences and ampoules containing hyaluronic acid for hydration.

I loved how smoothly it applies without any pilling sensation! Texture: The consistency is perfect - not sticky, yet not too runny. I absolutely adored it! Absorbs well: It sinks in quickly, leaving hardly any sticky feeling! Hydration: The moisture level is fantastic! As I applied it, I could feel my skin being replenished with hydration, and it reduced the feeling of tightness. While it might be subjective, I think it suited my skin really well! Recommended skin type: Slightly dry skin
ConsFor those with extremely dry skin, the hydration level might be a bit insufficient...

Even those with sensitive noses can use it without worry. There's no strong or artificial scent, giving it a gentle feel. ✔️Texture It has a transparent, slightly viscous essence-like consistency. It doesn't run like water, but it's not thick or heavy either. It's just like a runny toner. It doesn't drip before you spread it, making it easy to apply. ✔️Application & Feel It feels like it's instantly absorbed into the skin. There's almost no stickiness, and it leaves a fresh finish. I felt like it was filling in the dryness from within, but for those with dry skin, I'd recommend applying it 2-3 times or following up with a moisturizer, as the hydration doesn't last too long on its own. ✔️Blemish & Sensitivity Test I used it for about 2 weeks from delivery until the end of the Hwahae Testers period, and it suited my skin well without causing any blemishes or irritation. Overall It's great for daily use. I generally don't have issues with most cosmetics, and even though my skin tends to be on the dry side, this product provides inner hydration. With just a bit of extra moisturizer on top, it should work well even in summer. Overall, it's pleasant to use due to being fragrance-free and non-irritating.
ConsWhile I'm satisfied with the product's effectiveness, the packaging design is a bit unattractive... haha

Even for my sensitive skin, there were no issues like blemishes - Application Feels like a typical ampoule Smooth Doesn't drip, making it easy to apply Not too concentrated, so it doesn't feel heavy - Finish Not sticky after absorption Slightly firm feeling once fully absorbed Leaves a pretty glow on the skin
Cons- Hydration It feels moisturizing right after application, but Continuous use doesn't seem to deeply hydrate I wish it was a bit more moisturizing and provided deeper hydration From what I've experienced so far, it's good to use right before makeup - Absorption Doesn't absorb quickly, so you need to spend some time patting it in * I wrote this review after short-term use, so I'd like to add more feedback after using it for a longer period - 05/02/2025
TipFill the dropper with the essence and pump once for each area of your face. This amount is perfect for the whole face! Since pores go in different directions, apply against the grain first, then with the grain to thoroughly fill in moisture. Apply before makeup to improve its quality. The ampoule essence doesn't cause makeup to pill. Instead, it prevents dryness and flaking. A great basic product to use when you're out of toner/skin. After applying once all over your face, soak a thin toner pad with the ampoule essence and apply it to dry areas for extra hydration.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs someone in their late 40s with severe deep dryness and tightness, the best thing about this product is how it applies smoothly with hydration, yet quickly feels fresh on the skin. It absorbs well without any sticky residue, making it incredibly useful for busy mornings when time is limited. It's fragrance-free, which is a plus. The texture, somewhere between a toner and a gel, is great as it doesn't drip or run, eliminating any worry about application.
ConsWhile it absorbs quickly, the hydration doesn't seem to last very long. After application, there's a sensation of a thin film on the skin, which makes me feel the need to wash my hands.
TipI'd recommend applying it multiple times rather than just once. Fortunately, since it absorbs so quickly, layering it doesn't take much time. Personally, I mix half a bottle of this essence with toner on a toner pad. On busy mornings, I stick these pads on my cheeks while drying my hair - it helps minimize pores and creates a great base for makeup.

It's been quite dry lately, with lots of wind... Especially when wearing makeup, my skin looks so parched with fine lines, which has been a real concern. So when I won this Milba Lab product titled 'Hydrating Ampoule Essence', I was really excited! I'd like to share my personal review, hoping it might help you in choosing your products. The texture is thick and doesn't flow easily, but when applied, it spreads smoothly and quite widely - it's like a concentrated formula! It's closer to an ampoule, colorless and fragrance-free. Given it's a dry transitional season, my skin feels quite dehydrated... For combination dehydrated skin like mine, choosing the right serum or ampoule is crucial. I usually use a lighter serum along with an ampoule. I thought applying from thinner to thicker textures would help with absorption, but... I noticed some pilling when used with other products from previous steps. (It doesn't cake up enough to ruin makeup though). There's just a slight residue on the skin. If you want to apply it thickly, I'd recommend layering it thinly instead. While I considered using this product alone and reducing other steps, it doesn't quite provide enough hydration on its own, which was a bit of a dilemma. However, I found it works much better when used early in the serum step, followed by patting it in with a damp sponge! Hope this helps!
ConsUnfortunately, this product alone wasn't hydrating enough for my skin, and it was a bit tricky to use with other products, which was disappointing.
TipI found the best results when applying in this order: skin pack, Milba Lab product, other essences, then a light emulsion! Make sure to let each product absorb well before applying the next, and don't forget to finish with a light emulsion or cream!

When applied with the dropper, it doesn't immediately run down your face. Packaging: Unlike typical heavy ampoule bottles, this one is surprisingly lightweight. The transparent container gives it a refreshing look. Scent: Completely fragrance-free. Absorption: The product instantly adheres to the skin upon application. It absorbs quickly, giving a sensation of firmly supporting the skin. After use, I could apply emulsion smoothly without any heavy or stuffy feeling, leaving the skin fresh.
ConsAs the product absorbs rapidly upon application, those with slightly dry skin like mine should be generous with the amount used and not try to skimp on it.
TipDue to the concentrated texture, I recommend applying the product directly to your face using the dropper instead of spreading it on your hands first. This minimizes product waste on your hands and maximizes the amount that reaches your skin.
