Applying two or three thin layers works much better than just one application.

The price is on the higher side, so it might be difficult to use generously without worrying about the cost.

It was easy to use and worked well for me. Applying multiple thin layers prevented my skin from feeling dry.

However, using it this way means I go through the product faster than expected.

It absorbs a bit too quickly, so I've found that layering it once or twice works wonders. This method gives me that coveted glow and keeps my skin hydrated.

Valid until June 5, 2025

I've been using this for about a month now. The application is excellent, and it absorbs quickly into the skin. To be honest, I'm not sure about the glow, but it's great that it doesn't cause any blemishes.

For best results, use it as a first essence right after cleansing without drying your face, or use it with a toner pad for skin texture improvement. Then follow up with the Grow Hyal Shot - you'll see visible pore tightening (speaking as someone with large pores myself).

It might be a bit drying for winter use. It absorbs quickly, making it great for summer and fall.

I kept this by the sink and used it as a first essence instead of a toner, and I noticed it helped calm some redness. When I used it along with Leegeehaam's Grow Hyal Shot, I saw improvement in pore tightening around my cheeks. I know pores need constant care, so I switch up my ampoules every 3 months. I think I'll be repurchasing this one next time.

After cleansing thoroughly and applying toner, proceed with skincare

There are no downsides to mention. It's a suitable product for both acne-prone and sensitive skin, which is great.

The tiny nanoparticles allow the active ingredients to be well absorbed by the skin. It's great not only for soothing and hydration but also for barrier care. Rich in hyaluronic acid, it helps maintain clear skin. It seems to be good for deep dryness and inner skin tightness as well.

For quick relief on days when your skin is irritated, try applying a generous layer and then using a modeling mask on top to help it absorb. It works wonders for faster soothing!

If you're looking for a thick, rich texture, you might want to skip this one

✅ Cica ingredients help soothe the skin
-> When my skin was really acting up, I applied a generous amount before bed. The next morning, I noticed the redness had significantly reduced!

✅ Light, fluid texture that glides on
-> The watery, lightweight consistency makes it perfect for applying liberally when your skin needs some calming

It leaves a subtle floral scent, which might be bothersome initially for those sensitive to fragrances.

I have a skin type that rarely experiences blemishes but easily becomes dry due to seasonal changes or temperature differences between indoors and outdoors. I often felt deep dryness, so I was looking for a hydrating and gentle serum. I ended up using this product consistently for two weeks as part of The Hwahae Testers program, applying it morning and evening during the serum step.

Deep hydration satisfaction: While feeling light on the surface, it deeply moisturized my skin, maintaining hydration for a long time.

Improved skin texture: My skin became smoother, preventing my base makeup from pilling.

Skin comfort: There was almost no irritation, and my skin felt generally comfortable throughout use.

Suitable for summer use: It's lightweight, making it comfortable to use even during the summer months.

I usually use a calming rubber mask, but when I mixed this product with it, my skin felt incredibly hydrated even after removing the mask, and it seemed to have an enhanced soothing effect.

There's not really anything to complain about, but it's best to gently pat the product in until it's fully absorbed. On busy days when I applied it hastily, I noticed a slight oiliness later on.

I have combination sensitive skin that's prone to occasional blemishes. My skin reacts quickly if a product doesn't suit it, but this one was so gentle that my skin felt comfortable. There was a subtle floral scent, and it absorbed well without any greasiness, leaving my skin feeling hydrated. Even hours after application, my skin maintained its moisture levels nicely.

For irritated skin, I dedicate a day to treat it with cica or azulene products
Layering these together helps calm the skin down quickly!

Of course, if used alone, it might feel a bit drying

For combination dehydrated skin
Used for 2 weeks!
The texture is slightly runny, like a thin liquid
The red photo is from before use. I thought it might sting, but it was surprisingly gentle - must be the mild ingredients. It seems great for skin that's irritated from the sweltering summer heat. I used it after running.

My routine is to apply mist, then ampoule, followed by this serum!

I really want to recommend this product! However, I'm not sure if it's because of other products I've used, but I do feel a slight tingling sensation after applying it.

That being said, it doesn't cause any blemishes or breakouts on my face!

I've been using this product for about 2-3 weeks after receiving it as a gift.

My skin tends to develop dead skin cells around the sides of my mouth and cheeks. Coincidentally, I was considering changing all my skincare products when I won this one. Since using it, the flaky skin on my cheeks has completely disappeared! The fragrance is pleasant and refreshing, without being overwhelming. It absorbs well, and I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like my complexion looks brighter after application.

I've been receiving compliments on my skin more frequently. After giving birth, everyone used to tell me my skin had deteriorated, but now they're all saying how much it has improved. I'm over the moon about this!

After using it for 3 consecutive days, my face started to feel a bit tingly... I think it's because my skin doesn't respond well to calming serums. I'd recommend this more for those with oily skin rather than dry skin types.

✨Skin Type
Combination leaning towards dry, prone to redness, occasional blemishes

✨Usage Period
3 days, day and night

✨Scent
Subtle herbal aroma? The fragrance is so mild it's barely noticeable.

✨Texture & Feel
Not runny, but has a light, mucus-like consistency. Absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. The application experience is really pleasant.
