Pros
The Hwahae Testers review My skin type: Combination dehydrated skin, dead skin cells, uneven texture, blemishes Texture: Flows like a water toner, with a slightly viscous consistency but still very fluid Application: Glides on easily like water, a single drop covers a wide area. Feels like applying a lightweight toner Absorption: Absorbs extremely quickly due to its water-like texture, instantly sinking into the skin upon application Feel on skin: After application, it has a slightly slippery feel but quickly absorbs, leaving the skin feeling firm and deeply hydrated. However, it stung a bit on blemishes and wounds Scent: Almost fragrance-free. No noticeable smell, making it suitable for those sensitive to fragrances Pigmentation and blemish effects: After use, dark spots and blemish marks seemed to fade, making the skin appear brighter and more radiant. I've been concerned about acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots, and after closely monitoring the patchy areas on my cheekbones, I noticed a gradual lightening effect. However, consistent long-term use is likely needed for more noticeable before-and-after results Overall impression: As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found this product to be a good fit. It provides a sense of deep hydration without feeling heavy, absorbing quickly and lightly. Unlike using an ampoule followed by a cream, which can feel too heavy and cause blemishes or oiliness, this product offers adequate hydration with just a single drop, striking a nice balance - not too light that it evaporates quickly, but not too heavy either. However, it did sting and feel irritating on wounds or popped pimples, indicating it's not particularly gentle due to its functional ingredients. It might be too intense for daily use morning and night, so alternating with other products or using it occasionally might be better for my skin
Cons
I'm not sure if it's clogging my pores or if it's due to the heavy texture that often causes blemishes on combination dehydrated skin, but I can't use this daily. Perhaps because of my sensitive combination skin, I started developing what looked like pustular blemishes. When I stopped using it, the blemishes subsided, but they flared up again when I resumed use. I might need to reduce usage to every other day, once every 2-3 days, or just once a day instead of twice. While it's not extremely sticky, those who dislike any stickiness at all might find this product polarizing
Tip
Personally, I found that it pairs well with certain moisturizers. Some combinations can feel heavy, but when used with a compatible cream, it works nicely

Pros
My skin has blemishes, dark spots, and is dry. I started using this product consistently in the evenings after receiving it. It comes with a dropper, which I found convenient. The serum absorbs well into the skin. I finished my routine by gently patting my face to help it sink in.
Cons
When applying the product to specific areas, it can feel slightly oily, which I personally don't prefer. However, I got used to it after continued use and found it tolerable. One downside is that the price feels a bit steep for the amount you get.
Tip
Personally, I recommend using a moderate amount with the dropper, as it's easy to dispense too much. Finish by gently patting your skin to help the product absorb better.

Pros
After using it for a week - which I know is a short period - I didn't experience any major blemishes. While it's marketed for both brightening and anti-wrinkle benefits, I appreciate that it seems more focused on brightening. However, I think it might not be enough on its own. Those with dry skin might find it a bit lacking in moisture. To be honest, I'm not sure about its skin tone evening effects. The product claims to work on dark spots and blemishes, but I feel like it would take longer use to really notice a difference. Also, the price point feels a bit high for the amount you get.
Cons
일주일사용 리뷰가 기간이 짧지만 느낀점은 크게 트러블은 없었어요. 미백,주름기능성이지만 미백에 집중되어 있는게좋긴하나 단독으로는 무리인듯 건성타입은 건조하다 느낄것같아요. 톤 업은 솔직히 모르겠어요. 제품명 효과인지 기미,잡티등 에 테스트 완료가 있지만 긴 시간 사용해봐야 느껴질것 같아요. 그리고 용량대비 가격이 부담스러워요.
Tip
Although it's a dark spot serum, it's not heavy, so you could layer it on problem areas to really let it sink in. If you find it drying, it might work well combined with more hydrating products. Brightening is always a concern for me, so I think this could be a good addition to a daily skincare routine for maintenance. It seems like an approachable product for all ages.

Pros
When I first applied it to my face, I thought it might be heavy, but despite its texture, it absorbs quickly and doesn't feel sticky at all. I used it only on the dark spots and blemishes under my eyes for about two weeks. While it didn't completely erase the blemishes, it wasn't irritating considering its brightening ingredients, and it absorbs well (I have slightly dry-leaning skin).
Cons
Given that you end up applying it only to blemishes around the eyes and cheeks, the small amount you get for the price is a bit disappointing.

Pros
Texture: A fluid essence-ampoule that glides on like water Absorbs well: Yes Plays nicely with other skincare and makeup products. As a renowned product from the famous Jeina, it's formulated with effective ingredients for fading dark spots and freckles. It's a trustworthy go-to product! With daily use, it feels gentle on the skin, which I really appreciate.
Cons
Despite Layer Lab being a new brand, the price point is on the higher side, unfortunately.
Tip
Applying it right after toner enhances absorption, which I found to be great.

Pros
I was excited to try this much-anticipated ampoule! While products claiming to improve blemishes and brighten skin usually take longer to show results, I've noticed a subtle improvement in my skin condition after using it for just under two weeks. My complexion seems clearer somehow...? Even when I haven't slept well, I thought my skin looked pretty good. Currently, I have dry skin that's prone to breakouts when wearing a mask, but it's not particularly sensitive. The ampoule has a watery consistency that absorbs quickly, but layering it creates a satisfyingly plump feeling. I usually finish with a cream after any ampoule, but those with very oily skin might be able to stop after layering this product a few times. If you apply just one light layer, you'll definitely need to follow with a cream! There's hardly any scent, and I didn't experience any irritation or breakouts after applying it. While there weren't any dramatic changes in this short period, it's an ampoule that visibly improves skin condition. It's pricier than my usual ampoule, so I'm not sure if I'll repurchase regularly, but I'll keep an eye out for sales. Thank you for the opportunity to try this product!
Cons
The high price point is a drawback... Also, due to the container design, it's hard to see how much product is left, making it difficult to check quickly. If you haven't stocked up on additional ampoules, make sure to keep a close eye on the remaining amount!
Tip
It absorbs quickly and has great application, so there's no major inconvenience when using it!

Pros
1. Fragrance-free: Great for those with scent sensitivities. It's odorless, making it convenient to use. 2. Lightweight formula: The texture is light and absorbs well, leaving skin feeling fresh without any stickiness. 3. Improves hyperpigmentation: Gradually evens out complexion, including acne scars and sun-induced discoloration. 4. Protects against UV and inflammatory pigmentation: Effective in both sun protection and preventing inflammation-induced hyperpigmentation. Particularly beneficial for skin prone to discoloration. 5. Cleaner finish than Vitamin C serums: Unlike many Vitamin C serums that can feel oily, this product leaves a cleaner finish. I'm keen to continue using this product as it offers the features I've been looking for. I've been searching for a brightening moisturizer that not only fades existing hyperpigmentation but also works on multiple levels to prevent melanin from spreading to the skin's surface. I'd recommend this to those who feel they produce excess melanin (easily tans, prone to age spots, freckles, acne marks, and have thin skin).
Cons
1. Inconvenient dropper: The dropper is short and the cap is wide, making it somewhat awkward to use. 2. Opaque packaging: It's impossible to check how much product is left, especially as you near the end. 3. Potential for irritation: Those with super sensitive skin might experience some irritation. I personally felt a gradual burning sensation after using it continuously for a few days, so I reduced the frequency of use.
Tip
Start with small amounts and gradually increase usage. Applying after an aloe mask can boost absorption of active ingredients, as the skin is in a hydrated state.

Pros
1. Hydration Despite being primarily a blemish-targeting serum, I was pleasantly surprised by its incredibly rich texture. Even a small amount provides intense hydration, which I loved! 2. Texture/Application The formula is a clear, thin, transparent liquid that absorbs incredibly fast when applied. Once it's fully absorbed, it leaves a plumping effect - when you touch your skin, it feels like it's sticking to your hand! The level of richness may vary depending on your skin condition and how long you've been using it. When I first used it, it adhered to my skin so well it was almost sticky, but after a few days, I don't feel that intense plumping effect anymore. Still, I continue to enjoy the product. 3. Packaging Oddly enough, most serums tend to leak a bit whether they have a pump or dropper, but this one has a wide cap (large diameter) with a dropper that doesn't leak at all. It's great for clean, hassle-free use. 4. A little goes a long way I love that I only need 5-6 drops for my entire face. If you spread it well, even a small amount provides full hydration. 5. Fragrance-free and colorant-free While this is common in serums these days, it's worth noting that this product has no fragrance or colorants.
Cons
I didn't experience any blemishes. However, Given that it's marketed as a serum for reducing dark spots and blemishes, I haven't seen any significant effects yet. Nevertheless, I continue to use it regularly because I enjoy its rich texture and how well it hydrates my skin. I'm hoping that with long-term use, it will eventually help with my blemishes too.

Pros
Skin type: Sensitive, Dry, Prone to small blemishes Overall rating: 4/5 🌸 Texture: Though I don't have many freckles, I tried this with my mother. It absorbs well into the skin without feeling heavy, leaving a nice moisturized feeling. Especially for my super sensitive skin that reacts to even water changes, this gentle ampoule with no harmful ingredients caused no discomfort during use!!! 🌸 Ingredients: Due to its mild formulation, I didn't experience any skin irritation or sensitivity after application! 🌸 Packaging: As mentioned in the overall review, I liked that it was more miniature than expected! While the amount might be small given its size, it's perfect for traveling light and can easily fit in a makeup pouch. 🌸 Final thoughts: The scent isn't overpowering, and while it may not have dramatic effects on blemishes, I did notice some improvement in my complexion and skin tone! I think consistent use would yield good results.
Cons
However, if purchasing at full price, the amount of ampoule compared to the cost might give you pause. Consider buying during sales or discounts!
Tip
Personally, I've been using microneedle patches and ampoules regularly. When I apply this ampoule after a microneedle treatment, it seems to absorb exceptionally well, leaving my skin looking brighter the next day.

Pros
Skin type: Sensitive combination dehydrated skin Usage period: About 1 week Usage time: Mainly evening Texture and packaging: The texture is a transparent, thin hydrating ampoule. Like Wellage and Torriden hydrating serums, it's a runny type that absorbs extremely quickly! The dropper felt a bit small and inconvenient compared to the container size, but the amount dispensed was generous, so it was fine with a little adjustment. Application: It absorbs instantly upon application with a slightly sticky finish. This gives a firming effect on the skin, but the hydration itself isn't substantial, so using it alone was a bit lacking. I found that using it with another hydrating serum reduced deep dryness. This might be helpful for those with combination dehydrated or dry skin! Effects: I used it once a day, mainly in the evening, for about a week. While it's too early to definitively speak about its effects on blemishes or dark spots, I did notice a slight lightening of pigmentation. I have relatively sensitive skin, but I was able to use it comfortably without irritation or blemishes.
Cons
Those with super sensitive skin should start slowly, checking for any reactions. For combination dehydrated or dry skin with deep dryness, it's recommended to layer with a hydrating serum or cream. If using in the morning, sunscreen is a must! I recommend using it more in the evening.
Tip
This serum focuses on treating dark spot traces, so approaching it for its functional benefits rather than hydration will lead to higher satisfaction. The texture is light and absorbs quickly, making it great for layering without feeling heavy. If you're not overly sensitive, it seems to be a safe choice!
