Madagascar Centella Teca Ampoule

I love the Centella Ampoule, so I tried this one with high hopes... but unfortunately, I couldn't tell any difference other than how it felt to use. Compared to the Centella Ampoule's light, watery texture, this one is just slightly more viscous. It does feel a little sticky, so if that's the case, I'd rather choose the Centella Ampoule, which leaves absolutely no residue on my skin... that's pretty much where I landed. (Since I wouldn't finish my skincare routine with this alone) It's not unpleasant to use, so I'll use up the ones I have stocked alongside the Centella Ampoule.

Pink Collagen Capsule Ampoule

I was looking for a serum with a texture that would work well with my Medicube beauty device, and that's how I found this one. These are my thoughts after using it intensively for about a month over the summer. It's a serum with a pretty thick, viscous texture, so I barely felt any friction when using my beauty device, and it helped it glide smoothly, making them a perfect match. It smells really nice, and I also love how it lifts my mood while I'm doing my skincare. When I use it with my beauty device, I feel like my skin somehow looks glossier and firmer the next morning! I'm the type who likes to try and compare different serums, but this one was easy to use with my beauty device, so I might come back around and repurchase it someday.

COSRX

The Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum

I tried it because it seemed like it might help with melasma and skin redness, but after one bottle, I couldn't really tell if it had any effect. In a good way, it barely feels like anything on the skin, so I think it works fine slotted into a routine like toner → this → other serums. It does feel a little sticky, but not enough to really bother me. It didn't irritate my skin, so it's not that it doesn't agree with me, but I guess I won't know unless I keep using it a little longer... I'd seen a lot of promos that made it seem like it would work quickly, so it was a bit of a letdown. There are other products I'm interested in too, so I'm not considering repurchasing for now.

Sekkisei Brightening Essence Lotion

It feels so nice on my skin when I chill it in the fridge before using it! I liked how it felt better with a cotton pad than with my hands🎶 Since it's so lightweight, it might not be moisturizing enough for people with dry skin. When it's not enough, I layer a different toner on top!

Madagascar Centella Teca Ampoule

This serum is a little more moisturizing than the Centella Ampoule. This one is also completely non-irritating and really easy to use. It has a light, toner-like consistency that absorbs well into the skin, and it's a serum you can use every morning and night. I feel like it makes my skin healthier.

Torriden

Dive-In Low-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Serum

It had a light, watery texture and absorbed right into my skin! It wasn't sticky but still left my skin properly hydrated, so it was easy to use in my morning skincare routine! It's an easy-to-use serum, but rather than expecting dramatic results, it felt more like something I'd want to use for daily hydration♪

It feels light and watery with no irritation, so it seems like anyone could use it. Good before makeup or in the summer. Mixing it with foundation was trendy for a while, and it's runny enough to use that way, so it might also be good for people who don't want anything sticky.

The texture is thick, but once it sinks in, it feels nice and smooth! It was the perfect product for uneven skin tone, acne scars, dark spots, and skin troubles!

Wellage

Real Hyaluronic Blue 100 Ampoule

I bought this in Korea because it was going viral on X💰 It has a lightweight texture that absorbs well into the skin, and I really like how it doesn't feel sticky. The large size means I can use plenty without worrying, and I think the great value for money is a major plus! It didn't cause any irritation, and my skin stayed in good condition while I was using it👍🏻 But for someone with extremely dry skin like me, this alone didn't feel quite moisturizing enough😭 It absorbs quickly and leaves the surface feeling refreshed, so it's just right for summer or before applying makeup in the morning since it isn't sticky, but during the dry season, I'd want a little more moisture. I recommend it for lightweight hydration or as a booster serum!

うにこす Combination · Fair tone

This is a favorite that I keep repurchasing. It's watery and lightweight, but it sinks right in and feels like it really hydrates from within, and dryness and roughness don't bother me anymore!! It's not sticky, so my makeup doesn't crease even when I use it before doing my makeup in the morning, and I feel like my skin's moisture level has gone up a lot, so I highly recommend it for anyone with dehydrated skin!!✨️ It's fragrance-free and doesn't sting, so I can use it without worrying even when my skin is sensitive! It's especially useful for moisturizing and adding glow during seasons when dryness is a concern♡ I'm on my second bottle now, but I love it so much that I still have two more stocked up👍🏻

ちゃんこ Ages 25-34 · Combination · Fair Light tone

The texture is lightweight, but it leaves a slightly tacky finish. It generally doesn't irritate my skin, but it can sometimes sting a little when my skin is feeling sensitive. It feels like it hydrates not only the surface of my skin but deep down too, so personally, I'd recommend it for your morning skincare routine. I love using it before applying makeup in the morning! I feel like it hydrates my skin and helps my makeup go on better.

I use it when I'm bothered by dryness during the day or tightness after washing my face. It's not irritating and has a light texture, so it's easy to incorporate into my usual skincare routine. It's not something I can't live without, but if I have it, I'll use it.
