Since it's winter, I've also tried switching up my ampoule, and this one is nicely moisturizing and hasn't caused any skin issues. It's a functional product, so I've been using it diligently.
ConsThe only downside is the price, but I recommend buying it during sales. ㅠㅠ

It was good that the capsules were not irritating at all for sensitive skin! ✔️Fragrance and Design✔️ The fragrance seems to be unscented to me, and I like that there are no allergen-causing fragrances, so the unscented aspect is good! In my opinion, the amount of serum that the dropper can hold seems a bit small. Regarding the design, the package being semi-transparent is good because you can see the amount decreasing as you use it. ✔️Usage Experience There is more of a moisture feel than an oily feel, and it applies lightly, but it definitely helps with inner dryness more than a lightweight moisture ampoule, and the moisturizing effect was great. If I apply a moisturizer on top, I don't feel any dryness at all.
ConsIn my opinion, the amount of serum that the dropper holds seems a bit small. While the package being semi-transparent is good as it clearly shows how much product is left, the design aspect could be improved.

The good balance of oil and moisture makes it great for nighttime skincare.
ConsUnfortunately, since it is in capsule form, it needs to be absorbed sufficiently, so I wouldn't recommend it during a busy commute.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review by the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. ✅Skin Type I have combination/sensitive skin. The T-zone has a bit of oil, while the rest is dry. The U-zone (especially around the mouth) is extremely dry. Overall, my skin lacks both oil and moisture, so I'm very attentive to hydration, and I'm careful with ingredients as my skin reacts the next day if I use something unsuitable. 🌿Ingredients/Fragrance This ampoule contains Epseama capsules made from upcycled ingredients extracted from Laminaria japonica seaweed from Wando, Jeollanam-do. It also contains moisturizing ingredients like glyceryl glucoside (from resurrection plant), pineapple ceramide (from Lactobacillus plantarum), carrot collagen, and panthenol, which synergistically help maintain moisture and elasticity. While it has a subtle fragrance due to the natural ingredients, it's not overpowering at all! There are no artificial fragrances added, so you can use it with peace of mind. 🌿Texture/Usage It's a lightweight essence formula packed with high-moisture oil capsules. The ampoule texture is slightly viscous, like a flowing liquid. The antioxidant oil capsules melt away without any residue, absorbing smoothly and leaving a hydrated finish. Despite being a capsule ampoule, it's not too thick or heavy. It's lightweight and absorbs quickly, spreading easily and leaving a refreshing sensation. It provides a soft, penetrating hydration, not just a surface-level occlusive effect. 🌿Key Features 🔸️Silky oil capsules + water-based essence 🔸️Contains nourishing ingredients extracted from natural sources (seaweed, resurrection plant, etc.) 🔸️Dual care for hydration and elasticity improvement ✅Overall Impression I received this Ugly Firming Kelp Capsule Ampoule on October 16th and have been using it for the past 10 days. I recommend this to those looking for a lightweight capsule ampoule, those with dry skin in need of intensive hydration, and those seeking to address both skin hydration and elasticity.
ConsThe lightweight and quickly absorbing formula lacked moisturizing power. For combination and dry skin types, you should use this product along with other basic skincare products (toner, ampoule, lotion, cream, etc.) to maintain a good oil-water balance. If you prefer a rich and heavy formula, this product may not be suitable for you. It's not recommended for extremely dry skin. However, it's a great fit for oily and sensitive skin types. For normal to combination skin, it's okay to use, but if you prefer a heavier and richer feel over a soft and refreshing one, I wouldn't recommend it.
TipPlease roll the oil capsules evenly across your face thoroughly so they can be absorbed properly.ღ•͈ᴗ•͈ღ

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI have extremely sensitive and dry skin that often experiences skin irritation. After using the Firming Calf Capsule Ampoule for a week, I was satisfied with its excellent moisturizing power. In the first step of my skincare routine, I skip the toner and apply the ampoule directly. Its moist and oily texture is excellent at addressing my dehydrated skin. For dry skin, applying the ampoule twice and then following with a cream provides sufficient hydration and moisture. The fragrance has a refreshing floral scent that is not overpowering but rather subtle, which I enjoyed. The ampoule is formulated with only gentle and high-quality ingredients, so my skin did not experience any irritation during the one-week usage. I recommend this moisturizing ampoule to those with dehydrated and dry skin, as it would be great to use throughout the fall and winter seasons.
ConsThe dropper seems a bit short... I'm worried about how to extract (?) the remaining ampoule when the bottom is visible^^;;

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product contains oil capsules in a water-based formula, so when applied, the oil capsules burst and provide nourishment, get absorbed into the skin, and give a tightening sensation to the pores. It contains Epseama™, an ingredient extracted from seaweed from Wando, Jeollanam-do, which is a recycled material. It helps keep the skin firm and moisturized, and it is said to suppress the expression of various proteins that cause skin aging, helping with slow aging. I was recently hospitalized and have only used it 3 times so far. I'll post a more detailed review after using it for another week.
ConsAfter using it 3 times, I didn't find any major downsides. Those with oily skin may experience a slight sticky feeling, but it wasn't too significant.

These days, as the weather gets colder, no matter what I apply, my skin gets dry. But after applying the Boneogly Firming Kelp Capsule Ampoule daily, my skin is definitely less dry. It's not a sticky ampoule, but when you apply it, you can definitely feel the high-concentration ampoule effect, and the moisturizing power lasts really well. It contains oil capsules, but there's no irritation, and it just spreads smoothly when rolling it on.
ConsSo far, I haven't really found any disappointing aspects while using it. It was good for my dry skin, but I'm not sure how it would work for skin that doesn't agree with oil ingredients.

ConsHmm, the downside is that if you have oily skin, you may find the finish a bit greasy.

The seaweed ingredient made me think it would be sticky, but there is no stickiness at all, and it feels very moisturizing. Since it's a capsule oil, it spreads very smoothly. The application feels really nice! After applying, it absorbs quickly and leaves a lightweight, refreshing feel, and the skin glow is amazing. I can immediately feel my skin becoming plump. I have dry skin, but just one application makes my skin feel moisturized. It's great to use after cleansing, and layering it doesn't make it feel heavy - it keeps the skin hydrated regardless of skin type or season. The citrus-like scent is quite subtle and pleasant, and I didn't experience any breakouts! Even when I apply it in the morning, my makeup applies well, and my face feels less tight. It seems to lock in moisture very well.
ConsThere are no downsides yet! The scent, application, and moisture are all great.
