I remember buying this at a great price from Sky007. It's pleasantly hydrating, absorbs well, and isn't sticky at all, so I'm really satisfied! I still have another bottle left, and I'm sure I'll be able to use it up completely. It's such a shame that this wonderful product has been discontinued... I'm so disappointed! - js********Dry SkinAcne SkinFeb 25, 2021
It absorbs so well! A little goes a long way - it's perfect for covering your entire face! I'm not sure if it just doesn't suit me, but it doesn't absorb well... It feels like it's just sitting on top of my skin? I can't really tell if it's effective, and it honestly feels like it makes no difference whether I use it or not. If anyone out there has a similar experience... definitely use only a small amount. I found that's the best way to minimize that 'sitting on top' feeling. 
na*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedDec 18, 2020It comes in two small 30ml bottles, which are lightweight and plastic. While not great for the environment, they're unbreakable and perfect for on-the-go! The serum is yellow with a viscous texture that doesn't drip, absorbs well, and leaves a non-sticky, firm finish. It truly feels like a firming serum! It's slightly rich, so I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin. I used it well when I had dry skin, but now that I have combination dehydrated skin, I avoid it. My mom loves it though! I'm satisfied that it's free from harmful ingredients and doesn't contain dimethicone, a silicone ingredient I dislike. It's not ideal for teenagers, but would make a great gift for moms. For teens to mid-twenties, focus on hydration rather than firming products! I don't have any complaints, but those who don't tolerate tea tree oil should avoid this product! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinMar 24, 2020
The texture is quite fluid, which makes it absorb well and apply smoothly. There seems to be an issue with either the dropper or something else, as the ampoule doesn't come out easily. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinFeb 8, 2020
I bought the firming line from LaLa Bla during a promotion since I was concerned about skin elasticity. The texture is similar to a typical ampoule, with a yellow tint and a viscosity that spreads easily when applied, leaving a moisturizing feeling. The most distinctive feature might be its scent - a refreshing orange fragrance. As for effectiveness, I'd say it's more about preventing aging rather than dramatically improving elasticity. It doesn't noticeably reduce wrinkles, making it suitable for those in their 20s as an anti-aging product. In conclusion, it's a hydrating ampoule that's good for preventing aging and serves as an affordable nourishing treatment. I'd recommend this firming ampoule to people in their 20s. I couldn't see any significant improvement in skin elasticity, so I wouldn't recommend it for those over 40. Also, I found it disappointing that it caused some irritation when used on sensitive skin. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedDec 26, 2019
I bought this as a 1+1 deal to apply generously, and it turned out to be more hydrating and effective for elasticity than I expected! I have dry and sensitive skin prone to contact dermatitis, so I usually react sensitively to cosmetic ingredients and quickly develop skin irritation. However, after using it for about a month, I'm quite satisfied with the results. The dropper... Many people have pointed this out. If you squeeze the tip after drawing up the product, it does dispense a decent amount. It seems more effective to pat the product into your skin when applying for better absorption! 
j_*****Dry SkinSensitive SkinAtopic SkinRecommendedOct 13, 2019Hello Hwahae users! I'd like to help you as much as possible with products you're interested in or considering buying, so let me start by describing my skin type. Face: Extremely dry with redness and heat sensitivity. Lips: Prone to cold sores when tired, so I choose lip balms that are safe to ingest as I apply them daily. Body: Some atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, with a history of long-term steroid use. Overall: Not super sensitive or prone to sudden reactions. I'll provide detailed feedback based on my skin type. My recommendations will be for those with similar skin concerns. (Note: I have very strict standards for skincare, so most products feel drying to me. The ones I review are generally the least drying.) ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Summary ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ This is a skincare line from BBIA, a brand known for color cosmetics. It's very drying, but suitable for normal, oily, or moderately dry skin types looking for affordable anti-aging and firming products. Not recommended for very dry skin - even after applying your usual moisturizer or oil, it can still feel tight. It also tends to make makeup look cakey, so I only use it on my nasolabial folds at night. It should be fine for normal to slightly dry skin. Don't be fooled by the 'firming' claim - it's quite drying. Only recommended if you're specifically looking for anti-aging ingredients like the four peptides, adenosine, and idebenone. Lastly, if you're sensitive to citrus or orange peel, please patch test before purchasing. 1. Pleasant scent While those with super sensitive skin might be wary of the orange or citrus scent, it's actually a plus for those who find some skincare products too pungent. If you've had to give up on products with unpleasant vitamin C or cream odors, you might find this serum's orange scent more tolerable. 2. High idebenone content (10,000 PPM) Idebenone is a trendy anti-aging ingredient this year, and this product has one of the highest concentrations among drugstore brands. It's comparable to Lab No, but with this product being newly launched, there's a 1+1 promotion making it a great value for those seeking idebenone. 3. Supporting ingredients: Adenosine, peptides, niacinamide Rather than focusing on hydration and skin barrier improvement, the supporting ingredients are more geared towards powerful anti-aging, wrinkle prevention, and brightening effects. While the other supporting ingredients are not in high concentrations, the product name 'x4' makes sense now. If you're interested in firming effects, give this a try with idebenone as the main active ingredient. 4. Trustworthy, cost-effective, and accessible As a skincare line from the established BBIA brand, it feels more reliable than the 160 new companies that popped up this year. Currently, it's 3,000 won cheaper at Lalavla stores with a 1+1 offer compared to online prices. If you're looking for cost-effectiveness, consider buying offline. Recommended for those wanting wrinkle care and firming effects with high concentrations at an affordable price. 5. Surprisingly quick absorption, not sticky 1. Caution for those sensitive to citrus and orange seed or peel 2. Not recommended for extremely dry skin 3. The dropper doesn't draw up much product, and pumping is very inconvenient. 1. It's best to use more of your regular skincare products than usual with this. (It felt painfully tight during seasonal changes.) 2. Recommended to apply primarily on wrinkle-prone areas. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinRecommendedSep 5, 2019Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The product has a yellow emulsion texture that feels incredibly lightweight. It's not greasy and feels fresh, which didn't burden my oily skin. I particularly liked that it wasn't too heavy for my T-zone, where oil tends to build up. However, those with dry skin might find this ampoule alone insufficient for hydration. I didn't experience any tingling or incompatibility with my skin, so I used it comfortably. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a light functional ampoule. Usually, I only apply ampoules at night, but because of its lightweight texture, I could use it in the morning without any pilling under makeup. The ampoule has a citrusy, orange-like scent. It's quite refreshing, but not subtle, so those who dislike fruity fragrances might have mixed feelings. As a fruit scent lover, I was satisfied with the fragrance. The product packaging design is disappointing. Although the ampoule has an emulsion texture rather than a runny consistency, it comes with a dropper, which makes application challenging. The dropper doesn't draw up the product easily, so I had to pump it multiple times, which was inconvenient. - Hwahae UserOily SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedSep 4, 2019Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

As I crossed the 40-year mark, loss of facial elasticity became my biggest concern. With decreased firmness, my skin looked dull, pores enlarged, and fine lines multiplied. It was a total disaster! This led me to layer more and more skincare products. No matter how much I applied, my skin still felt parched. I even started applying toner 5-6 times, followed by ampoules, essences, and creams. Only then did the dryness somewhat subside. My skin type is combination-oily in summer and sensitive with deep dryness in winter. To gauge this ampoule's effectiveness, I simplified my routine for two weeks: toner, this ampoule, and a hydrating cream. I'm pleasantly surprised that even with this minimal routine, my skin doesn't feel dry and stays moisturized. My makeup applies well, and I've noticed improved pore elasticity. I'm not exaggerating! I was using Belif's Aqua Bomb as my firming essence, but when it ran out, I won this product in an event. I'm genuinely satisfied with it. The scent is reminiscent of vitamin-enriched skincare - slightly fragrant. At first, I thought I might have received a brightening ampoule by mistake, but it's indeed for firming. It's not thick, rather on the lighter side, and absorbs well. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would repurchase. Is the dropper just for show? It seems like a packaging design failure. Using the dropper requires patience. I gave up on it early on and now just pour the product into my hand to use. - wl*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedSep 3, 2019Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Please note that all of these impressions are my subjective opinions, so use them as a reference only. 1. Product: Sky's Mysterious Quattro Ampoule Firming Solution 2. Skin type: I'm in my 20s, but due to severe cystic acne for about six years in the past, I have enlarged pores and severe acne scars. Severe dermatitis for four years has led to expanded sweat pores all over my face and super sensitive skin. I have combination dehydrated skin that lacks elasticity, sags, and is prone to milia all over my face. 3. Texture It was completely different from what I expected an ampoule to be like. Instead of a transparent, sticky, runny texture, it's somewhere between a cream and an emulsion. 4. Scent Personally, I prefer natural cosmetics or unscented products. I'm not particularly fond of products that add artificial fragrances to mask the natural scent. This product has a lemon scent, not entirely natural, but it's not overwhelmingly artificial, so I could use it comfortably. 5. Hydration and Moisture I personally felt it was more hydrating. Compared to the Skinfood Propolis Ampoule I was using before, which has a more fluid texture, this Quattro Firming Ampoule absorbs quickly and makes my entire face feel really moisturized. While it's highly hydrating, it doesn't make my face oily, which made me wonder about its firming effects. However, I liked that it seemed to maintain a moist, hydrated feeling for longer. 6. Firmness I can't definitively say this product improves firmness since I haven't used it for an extremely long time. However, my face used to look visibly saggy, dull, and prone to milia breakouts. No matter how well I did my skincare, I always had flaky skin when applying makeup. But these issues have disappeared, and after skincare, my skin feels comfortable. I can maintain hydrated skin before and after makeup, and the milia have noticeably reduced. This makes me think it balances the skin well and must have definitely helped with firmness. 7. Price I'm not sure if they're always running a 1+1 promotion, but I thought the price aspect was also very good. The dropper... I really, really dislike it.
