It provides a lovely moisturizing glow while hydrating the skin. With no tingling sensation, it's perfect for daily use. The absence of irritation makes it comfortable to use. The dropper-style packaging ensures hygienic application. Definitely worth repurchasing!
ConsThe price isn't particularly budget-friendly when it's not on sale, which is a bit disappointing.

It absorbs at a reasonable pace into the skin. I was worried after seeing reviews about tingling, but I didn't experience any issues. I think it's fine if you apply the right amount for your skin - start with a small quantity and gradually increase if needed. The first night I used this product, I received many compliments the next day about how good my skin looked. While I couldn't really tell the difference myself, it seems to be working effectively.
ConsThe volume is a bit small, but the price seems reasonable for an ampoule.

Some people mentioned it stings on broken skin, but I didn't experience any tingling. However, when I spread it on my face before applying a sheet mask, I did notice a slight warming sensation. The most important effect I noticed was a reduction in makeup caking or separating around my nose area. This was the most noticeable improvement, though I can't say yet if it's brightened my complexion.
ConsSince it's a potent product, it can't be used daily. This means you might end up forgetting about it when you start using other serums.
TipI found that spreading this on my face before using a basic hydrating or soothing mask really helped improve my skin texture!

It instantly gave my skin a beautiful glow, almost like a 'glass skin' effect. The product also absorbs well into the skin.
ConsThe downside is that the day after using it, I noticed small bumps on my skin, possibly sebum-related. While it didn't cause severe irritation, I did experience some minor blemishes, which led me to discontinue use.

The scent is close to unscented. Many people say it stings, but I didn't find it too bad. When I just applied the toner to my skin, it stung about 1/20 as much as 100% alcohol. The application is a bit sticky but spreads well. The finish is slightly sticky with a nice glow. After 2 weeks of use, I'm not sure about the brightening effect yet, but my skin has a nice radiance. For my sensitive, acne-prone skin, it didn't cause any issues even on hormonal days. I'd recommend this to those who like a nourishing, glowy finish!
ConsThat's strange, I only applied it at night, but my makeup doesn't seem to be absorbing well... It just slides off. Even though I cleansed my face well in the morning, when I apply sunscreen and tone-up cream, the tone-up cream doesn't seem to absorb properly either... It just sits on top of my skin. I'm a bit concerned about the high alcohol (ethanol) content in the ingredients!
TipAfter applying a light toner, follow up with a Hwahae Trial Reviewers shot. This will provide 2x the radiance! For the final cream, use a ceramide or panthenol cream to fully hydrate and moisturize.

I recently tried Hwahae for the first time. I didn't feel any irritation or stimulation, so I squeezed the dropper twice and applied it generously. The fragrance-free, slightly viscous, watery formula made me worry it might be too drying, but when I woke up the next morning and felt my skin, the texture had improved. The rough areas had been smoothed out. Since I've already done a lot to restore my skin's exfoliation layer, the moisture was sufficient with just this product. But I think the results may vary depending on each person's skin condition. As the exfoliation layer improved, the blackheads on my nose became more visible, but I think I need to use it for a bit longer to fully understand the effects. Personally, I'm really pleased with how it gently smoothed out the rough exfoliation without any irritation. It's non-irritating, doesn't cause any breakouts, and I can feel the effects right after applying it in the evening and waking up. I also like that I can adjust the amount using the dropper. I'm very satisfied! I've continued using it and love it, so I'm leaving an additional review. I've been mixing it with the glycolic acid product I used before, and the effects are amazing. Within a day, the blackheads on my nose completely melted away, and my pores look empty. When I used just this product, my skin felt smoother, but mixing the two makes a huge difference. There is a bit more stimulation, so I don't think I can use it that way every day. Anyway, I'm really happy with the effects, and I love this product!
ConsThere were no disappointments. The glide was also good, and there were no particular troubles while using it, and rather the skin texture improved, so I am satisfied.
TipMixing it with other acid products gave better synergistic effects! It's especially great for blackheads.

Spreadability The slightly heavy liquid texture allows for quick application even during a busy commute, which is great. 2. Non-irritating While I've seen some reviews mentioning a stinging sensation, I personally did not experience any irritation or burning. However, since I was already using Lidershot, I may not have noticed it as much. For those with sensitive skin, I'd recommend doing a small patch test before full application. 3. Radiance & Skin Texture Improvement As it's a somewhat oily product, the skin immediately takes on a radiant glow upon application. It's not a light, airy glow, but more of a dense, dewy one. The texture I experienced was between bouncy and tacky, which worked well for me during the transitional weather. After using my basic skincare routine and finishing with sunscreen and a color corrector, it helped smooth out my skin texture and made my complexion look more refined. However, I think it may be a bit much for summer use. Oily skin types may find it suitable for all seasons except summer, while dry skin types could likely use it comfortably year-round.
ConsThe product feels more oily than moisturizing, so the usage experience is not particularly lightweight. Adjusting the amount used may be necessary depending on the season, and it tends to have a sticky finish, so those who prefer a lighter finish may not like it.
TipI tried using the product on its own and also together with Hwahae. When used together with Hwahae, my skin seemed to look better! In the morning, I used the serum alone and finished with a moisturizer, and in the evening, I used Hwahae first and then the serum, and my skin felt even softer!!

There are no skin troubles, so the functional cosmetic has worked quite well for me. The effects were particularly good at night. Without any creams or the like, I just applied the skin toner and generously layered this on top, then massaged it in thoroughly and went to sleep. Over the course of a few days, my skin tone seems to have brightened a bit. For those with sensitive skin, using this at night would likely be very beneficial.
ConsThe Hwahae seems a bit heavy for morning writing. I find that even a little heaviness makes me feel oily... On the other hand, it seems like it would be great for dry skin types.
TipThe wise and learned individuals would do well to mix this ampoule into their plain lotions. It was great to use instead of cream. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I think this method will work well for getting through the summer. ㅎ

I was worried that using this product would cause irritation, but it didn't sting at all! Even after squeezing my pimples and applying it, it was fine. My skin texture hasn't noticeably improved yet, but I think I need to use it consistently for the effects to show. I don't expect dermatological-level results, but I do like that my skin looks glowy the next day!
ConsThere was alcohol, so it seemed like there would be moisture evaporation, so I tended to moisturize a lot. I didn't get any more acne or anything.
TipYou should apply moisturizers after exfoliating, rather than using products with LHA ingredients!! Exfoliating can make the skin sensitive, and over-refining the texture can really damage the skin😢 I'm writing this in case there are people who don't know this.
