That's a clear sign it agrees with my skin. The texture is definitely serum-like, but it doesn't run down your face (though it's not quite a gel either). Thanks to this consistency, it absorbs well and instantly gives that hydration boost feeling. Ingredient-wise, it seems the cica components make it gentle with zero irritation. It even felt like it was cooling down my skin! I found it perfect for the early stages of my skincare routine, both in terms of how it feels and its effects. If you're looking to try a mild PDRN formula, this could be a great option!
ConsI had high hopes because of the PDRN ingredient, but the regenerative effects were a bit underwhelming.
TipWhile the product excels in gentleness and hydration, those seeking more dramatic skin regeneration results might find it lacking. It's important to manage expectations and remember that results can vary from person to person.

The packaging is lovely It has a perfect summery feel - lightweight yet sturdy, which I appreciate. Especially with pump bottles, it can be frustrating when they don't work properly, but this one dispenses smoothly every time. 2. It's wonderfully hydrating As a busy parent, I often only have time to apply one product quickly. This serum provides ample hydration even when I'm in a rush. I suppose that's the nature of serums, right? It spreads easily without being runny, making application a breeze. The fast absorption is perfect for those hurried moments. 3. Rather than targeting blemishes, it seems to have a more noticeable effect on firming the skin and improving wrinkles. Lately, my skin has been feeling a bit saggy due to the heat, but when I apply this right after cleansing, there's an instant lifting sensation. It's like you can feel it working!
ConsIt might be a bit too drying for those with very dry skin. The scent could be polarizing. It has a summery fragrance that isn't unpleasant, but it's not my favorite either. The finish feels slightly... not sticky, but more like a squeaky clean feeling? It's hard to describe. It's similar to how your skin feels after using a cucumber pack or aloe soothing gel - that kind of sensation. It might make your skin feel a bit heavy, though that could be due to the summer heat or just my perception. While I was completely satisfied overall, I did experience some small blemishes popping up, which is why I deducted one star.

Recently, I've been breaking out a lot, and after popping the pimples, I was left with many blemish marks. That's why I applied for this product and was lucky enough to be selected to try it out. *Texture/Application I was worried this product might be sticky or greasy because it contains PDRN, but I was pleasantly surprised. The texture itself is like a lightweight gel that doesn't drip when squeezed out. Although it has a slight viscosity, it absorbs well when applied to the skin. My skin tends to feel dry, but I don't like products that leave a residue. Thankfully, this one absorbs completely without leaving any sticky feeling! It also didn't cause any pilling when I applied makeup over it. *Effectiveness To be honest, it's hard to say definitively that this product improved my blemish marks. After using it for two weeks, I'm not sure if the improvement is due to time passing or the product's effectiveness. If the marks had faded faster, I might have attributed it to the product, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Despite this, I still gave it 4 stars because it didn't cause any blemishes on my acne-prone skin, provided light hydration, and seems perfect for summer use. I think I'll get a lot of use out of this ampoule in the warmer months!
ConsThe fragrance is really disappointing. I can't quite describe it, but it's an artificial cosmetic scent that's stronger than any product I've used recently. I checked the ingredients and saw that it contains fragrance. As someone who prefers fragrance-free products, this aspect is a bit of a letdown.

Texture: Not runny, but not sticky either. It's more elastic than a typical soothing gel! Maintains its shape when squeezed Packaging: Pump dispenser makes it easy to use and doesn't leave residue on the opening!! Some pump products can leave residue, but this one doesn't, which is great Overall impression: The PDRN and cica ingredients left my skin feeling slightly plump after use. One pump seems to be the perfect amount, so I'm using about 1.5 to 2 pumps each time. When used with a watery toner, eye recipe essence, and cream, there was no dryness at all!
ConsI can't think of any negatives at the moment. I'll keep using it and see! So far, no issues after using it for over a week.
TipThe review highlights the product's effectiveness for blemish-prone and dry skin, emphasizing its hydrating properties and gentle formula. The user appreciates the packaging design and the product's ability to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously.

Texture: It has a slightly thick consistency - not exactly lightweight, but not runny either. It's quite viscous. However, when I applied it to my skin, it didn't feel as heavy as I expected! Scent: There is a fragrance, but it's not overpowering or unpleasant. Since PDRN products tend to work well for my skin type, I applied this both day and night. I found it particularly effective when my skin was feeling sensitive or when I had some blemishes. It seemed to help calm things down. Plus, I loved waking up to glowing skin after using it at night! For comparison, I've also been using the Ini*** PDRN product (pictured). The Ini*** has a more fluid texture and is almost fragrance-free. It feels a bit heavier and more moisturizing. The iRecipe serum is lighter, making it great for this time of year. While I'm not an expert on the exact PDRN concentrations, both products worked well for me without any irritation. (For reference, I've also used Ini***'s Retinol Cica Ampoule without issues.) So if you're considering a PDRN product, you might want to check these out! The iRecipe serum seems particularly good for addressing blemish marks, flushed skin, or soothing initial skin irritation - it's like a gentle retinol and PDRN serum for sensitive skin. The Ini*** product seems better suited for improving skin texture, wrinkles, pores, and firmness.
ConsThe slightly thick texture was a bit disappointing. However, I was pleased that it didn't feel too heavy once applied to the skin.
TipI found it especially soothing when my skin gets sensitive before my period!

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.ProsSkin type: Combination dehydrated, acne-prone, sensitive, thin skin, uneven texture Product: The packaging is sleek and transparent, which is great for visually checking how much product is left. The one-touch pump design is hygienic. Texture: It has a very high viscosity, to the point where it barely flows. Scent: It has a fresh, herbal cica scent. Personally, I love this fragrance! Application: Despite its thick consistency, it applies smoothly. It glides on effortlessly. However, it absorbs quite quickly, so you need to apply it swiftly. Feel on skin: It penetrates the skin rapidly, with a feeling somewhere between moisturizing and sticky... but on the lighter side. It doesn't feel intensely hydrating, and there's almost no watery sensation, so you definitely need to follow up with a cream. It would be great for summer, but might be a bit drying in winter. The formula itself seems to sink in immediately, making the skin feel slightly tacky from within, which you can sense a bit on the surface. I didn't mind the feel of it! Overall impression: It claims to contain a lot of ingredients like collagen, peptides, cica PDRN, etc., but I'll need to use it longer to see results. I have quite a bit of acne scarring, so I'll add an update after using it for about a month. No dramatic changes yet. >>I think this would be great for summer use for anyone except those with very dry skin, especially if cica products work well for you!
ConsEffects: Need to use it longer to see long-term results. Cap: The cap doesn't lock in place and rotates freely. It also requires some force to open and close, which is inconvenient. Ambiguous feel: At first, I was unsure... it felt like it was evaporating rather than absorbing. And my face felt a bit tight... I had to quickly apply cream afterward.
TipThis seems perfect for light summer use! Just make sure to pair it with a hydrating cream that works well for your skin.

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.ProsSkin Type: - Dry - Acne-prone - Slightly sensitive Texture: It seems to have a gel-like consistency, but it's incredibly hydrating and absorbs quickly. When I apply it to my skin during dry spells, it instantly becomes moisturized. Application: Absolutely fantastic! I particularly love that it's not too heavy or sticky, yet it doesn't run like water either. It strikes the perfect balance. Absorption: It absorbs really well into the skin. Effectiveness: To be honest, my skin was in a terrible state that day - all red and irritated. But after applying this for a few days, the redness subsided surprisingly fast. It's almost magical how quickly it calmed my skin. My complexion was looking dull, but it's become noticeably clearer.
ConsHowever, I'm not sure about its effectiveness on blemish marks. You might not see immediate results; it seems to work better with consistent, long-term use.
TipPersonally, I think it works even better when used in combination with a soothing toner or ampoule rather than on its own.

(여드름은 없음) • 향은 거부감없는 시원한 시카향으로 쿨링감이 전해지는 것 같아서 좋았습니다. • 제형 너무 묽지 않은 세럼으로 금방 주르륵 흐르지 않아 피부에 얹고 바르기가 편했어요. • 효과부분에서는 붉은 흔적이 개선된 것은 아직은 잘 모르겠습니다. 다만, 자극 받은 피부위에 듬뿍 얹어주면 쿨링감이 더해져 일시적으로 붉은기가 가라앉는 느낌이 있었습니다. • 사진에 용량은 일주일 반 정도 사용한 후 남은 것 입니다.
Cons듬뿍 발라야 제형의 장점과 효과가 두드러지는데 가격에 비해 용량이 크지는 않다는 점이 아쉽습니다.

The texture isn't too thin, which I appreciate. When applied after toner, you can feel a deep, moisturizing effect that leaves your skin feeling supple and hydrated. ✔️Convenient packaging I love that it comes in a pump bottle! While dropper bottles are nice, they can be a bit of a hassle to open and close sometimes. With this, you just need to remove the outer cap and give it a light pump - it's so much more convenient to use. ✔️Generous amount Though the bottle may look small, it actually contains 35ml of product. The rich consistency means a little goes a long way, so it's quite economical. I've been using it consistently, and I'm pleased to see that the amount doesn't deplete too quickly. ✔️Non-sticky finish For someone with combination dehydrated skin like me, the most crucial aspect of a serum is hydration. Despite its rich and supple texture, it doesn't leave a sticky residue on the skin. Even with multiple layers of skincare, my skin doesn't feel heavy or suffocated - I'm really satisfied! Plus, it's packed with collagen and peptides that are great for skin elasticity, and it's formulated for brightening and anti-aging. It's also excellent for addressing blemishes - there are just so many benefits!
ConsI've been using it consistently and I'm really impressed with how moisturizing and hydrating it is! However, I haven't noticed any significant improvement in blemishes yet. But I think this might be because I haven't finished the entire bottle - it might just need more time to show results!
TipDue to its rich texture, I apply it a bit more generously in the evening, or sometimes layer it twice. When I check my skin the next morning, it looks noticeably more hydrated!

After extracting acne, I was left with unsightly pigmentation, so I'm determined to use this consistently. The texture is like a non-runny nasal mucus, and while it doesn't absorb super quickly, I didn't feel any stickiness after it sank in. The cica ingredients seem to agree with my skin well - I haven't experienced any blemishes popping up or irritation. I appreciate that it comes in a pump bottle, which is more convenient to use than a dropper.
ConsThere wasn't anything major that disappointed me. As other reviews have mentioned, the scent is a bit strong, which is the only drawback for me.
TipWorks hard on fading acne marks and calming the skin Suitable for super sensitive skin Helps balance oil and moisture Convenient pump packaging for easy application
