  Pros

  Applies smoothly like whipped cream and keeps skin moisturized even in dry winter, but there's a critical drawback...

  Cons

  It triggers an allergic reaction. I have resilient skin that rarely reacts to cosmetics, even from drugstores, and I rarely get acne. However, after just two days of using this product, my entire face becomes bumpy and thickened. Thin areas like ears and neck develop itchy rashes. My cheeks and eye area turn red, itchy, and have a burning sensation. My skin feels rough and dehydrated. It takes 3-4 weeks to recover from this state. In my life, I've only had cosmetic-related skin issues twice. This product caused one instance, and the other was years ago from a Missha retinol essence. I still use other Missha products without problems, so it's likely an ingredient issue with this one. Since it was an expensive gift, I regrettably tried it twice, confirming it definitely causes allergies. I wish I had read the Hwahae reviews earlier. Many others here have had similar experiences. Even if you have healthy skin, I wouldn't recommend this product.

  Pros

  First off, the balm texture is rich and deeply moisturizing, perfect for those with very dry skin. I'd definitely recommend this as a skincare product for dry skin types.

  Cons

  I'm not sure if it's because I have super sensitive skin, but after using this product, I developed an allergic reaction. My entire face turned red, swollen, and broke out in hives. If you have sensitive skin like mine, please be cautious.

  Tip

  I advise those with sensitive skin to carefully check the ingredient list when purchasing cosmetics.

  Pros

  To be honest, there's not much to praise. The clean packaging design is perhaps the only positive. It's ever so slightly moisturizing.

  Cons

  The ingredients are truly awful. My face completely broke out after using this just once. Definitely not recommended for those with sensitive skin. The hydration level isn't even sufficient for dry skin types. I gave it to my sister who has oily skin, and she found the moisturizing effect lacking too. I'm really not sure why anyone would use this product.

  Pros

  The convenience of only needing to apply this one product was great. Just a small amount is enough to cover your entire face. And when you put on makeup after applying this, your face gets an amazing glow!

  Cons

  Unfortunately, I experienced a sudden breakout of blemishes on my chin after using this. It was late summer, so I was sweating a lot with makeup on, and I have oily skin, which probably contributed to the issue. As the weather is getting cooler now, I'm planning to give it another try when it gets even colder.

  Pros

  There's nothing... absolutely nothing... I'm just writing this to meet the 20-character minimum.

  Cons

  I tried using this product intermittently over several days. The reason being, even though it didn't directly get into my eyes, they became extremely painful upon application. For about 5 minutes, I couldn't open my eyes, and after the pain subsided, I noticed a lot of sticky discharge, like eye mucus. My face felt cold to the touch on the surface, but underneath it was burning intensely, which was very uncomfortable. I couldn't continue using it anymore. Since I usually have sensitive eyes, the discomfort was similar to what I experience in newly constructed buildings or freshly renovated places, so I suspect there might be similar chemical components... If you're like me, I'd recommend avoiding this product.

  Pros

  It's supposed to give you a glow when applied, but I'm not sure if it's because of this product or not

  Cons

  My eyes are stinging so badly. I didn't realize it was because of this, so I kept changing sunscreens. My eyes are so irritated that I can barely keep them open.

  Tip

  I never thought it could be the cream causing my eyes to sting, not the sunscreen, but it really irritates my eyes terribly. If you have super sensitive skin, it might be best to avoid this product altogether.

  Pros

  The fragrance is lovely. I bought it as part of a special duty-free set, so the value for money was excellent.

  Cons

  I used to have dry skin that could tolerate any moisturizer, but this cream made my skin sting and itch. At first, I was confused, but now I think there must be an ingredient that doesn't agree with my skin.

  Pros

  It's nice that you only need to apply a small amount... The rest seems fine...

  Cons

  My eyes stung severely as soon as I applied it. It seems one of the UV protection ingredients didn't agree with me. I tried to bear with it, but my eyes were so irritated, burning, and watery that I could barely open them. I had to give up using it.

  Pros

  It creates a natural look without any pilling or smudging of makeup or skin products!

  Cons

  After about 3 weeks of use, my skin gradually started to react badly, and I ended up having to visit a dermatologist. Those with super sensitive skin may experience an allergic reaction! The dewy glow and hydration don't seem to last very long.

  Pros

  It's so moisturizing! When I first started college, I used this along with the Luminous Foundation (now discontinued). So many friends asked what skincare I was using because my skin looked as smooth and glossy as porcelain!

  Cons

  However... after using this, my skin turned red, became swollen, and I experienced severe itching. I couldn't even finish this expensive cream. While it made my skin look pretty on the outside, I ended up dealing with seborrheic dermatitis and redness for a while. I'm still so scared of the skin reactions that I won't buy Bobbi Brown face products anymore (I only occasionally try samples and buy some lip products). I switched to Dr. Jart+ BB cream and Giorgio Armani Designer Foundation, which didn't cause any blemishes. Above all, I think it's best to use cosmetics made with skin-friendly ingredients!

  Tip

  The Manyo Factory Shea Butter Cream gives a similar glow, but it doesn't last nearly as long. I do miss the glow that Bobbi Brown Moisture Balm gave me.
