It absorbs completely without leaving any sticky residue. The price is also reasonable, and the packaging is simple and nice.
ConsI applied the Alpine Berry Watery Cream with some hesitation, and it ended up making my skin itchy and red. When I applied just one layer, it felt too dry, so I had to apply it multiple times. It seems to be used up quite quickly.
TipIf the Alpine Berry Cream doesn't suit your skin, this product may also not be a good match. It's a good idea to consider this before purchasing.

To be honest, aside from the formula and fragrance, there aren't many other advantages...
ConsAfter applying it, I felt refreshed and liked the scent, but when I used a generous amount before bed and woke up, my skin was completely irritated!!!! They said the formula had changed, and there seems to be something in it that is irritating my skin. I struggled for days with stubborn acne and redness that wouldn't go away. In conclusion, I do not recommend this product!!!!

It was very moisturizing and had great lasting power~
ConsI broke out in hives after using this product :( It lasted for about 3 days :( I didn't know why at first, but looking at the ingredients, it seems it was because of the fragrance.

This product seems to have a cooling effect. When I first applied it, there was this refreshing sensation, and it spread on my skin so smoothly and absorbed quickly. Especially since I have dry skin around my eyes and lips, those areas felt better after applying it. Also, the moisturizing effect seemed to last a long time, which I liked.
ConsIt might not be the best for oily skin types. Even though I have combination skin, when I used it at night, my nose area had a bit of an oily, breakout-like appearance in the morning. After not using it for about two days, the issue went away, so it seems to be related to this cream. I would recommend those with sensitive skin to be cautious as well.
TipI highly recommend this for dry skin. Especially since summer is coming up soon, applying a generous amount before makeup would be great for keeping the skin hydrated.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsLast summer when I used it, my skin's moisture content improved, the uneven texture disappeared, and it felt refreshing and absorbed well into my skin... But after the reformulation, it's so itchy that I can hardly use it.
ConsIt's so itchy that when I looked into it, it seems many people are experiencing the same issue and there are a lot of people whose skin has become irritated. When I apply it, I don't feel any cooling effect at all, and it just feels sticky and tacky, and then I end up scratching my skin vigorously because of the itch. I can't find a single good point... I bought the limited large size for 57,000 won, and I feel like I've wasted my money. I'm thinking of contacting customer service.
TipIt used to be great, but this is the reformulated product... After the reformulation, unlike the oil-free one I used before, the Primera Alpine Berry Watery Cream did not cause any itchiness or other issues.

ConsPrimera always reformulates the products I used to like well and makes them strange.. They've discontinued the other items I used to use as well. I tried this one after the reformulation, but it was a pore-clogging disaster.. The formula has changed and become strange ㅠㅠ I really liked it before the reformulation ㅠㅠ..

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product ingredients have been renewed, and I've experienced side effects. Please return it to the previous version. I've used the large-size version for over 2 years, about 15 bottles, and the regular-size version for about 15 bottles as well. It was a holy grail product that suited me perfectly. I have sensitive, bumpy skin with severe redness, but this product gave me a honey-like complexion and even cleared my acne. I've maintained this clear skin for years. However, when I bought it this week, they said the product was renewed. I tried the new version, and my face completely flipped - it turned bright red, my pores swelled and enlarged, and my cheeks looked like they were bitten by mosquitoes. My eyes were also extremely irritated and painful until bedtime. Please revert the ingredients to the previous version. The scent has become too strong, and my skin is burning. I'm begging you.
ConsAs mentioned before, please be cautious when using this product, especially those who have used the previous version. It's really frustrating trying to find a holy grail skincare product when you have such sensitive skin. Please recommend something for me. I'm currently surviving on sample moisturizers from other brands, but I'm so afraid of experiencing more side effects. This is really stressful. Apparently, this moisturizer was reformulated, and the texture and scent (something like pine extract) have changed. It seems to be very irritating. Please, I beg you, bring back the previous version. I've attached photos of my skin - bare face with only sunscreen, and right after using the renewed Primera gel cream, which caused a severe reaction. Please be really careful if you've used this product before. ********************Additional on 2018 7/5 After my skin reacted that way, I went to a dermatologist for soothing treatment. For about 5 days, I only used my regular toner without any moisturizer to calm my skin down. I ended up settling on the Sidmool Galactomyces Nourishing Cream. I highly recommend this to those who did well with fermented products. I'm glad I was able to find a new holy grail, as a sensitive skin type. My pores are a bit larger now (after that bad reaction), but other than that, my skin has returned to its previous state. The enlarged pores might also be due to my poor dietary habits lately, so please take that into consideration. The Primera store staff claimed the renewed product is the same as the previous one, and continued to sell it. But it's clearly a different product with just improved ingredients. Seeing my case, and likely many others, it's really not right for them to sell it as the same product. My skin has become even more sensitive after that incident, and I'm still struggling.
TipI'm really at a loss for what to do now. I bought the Sidmool moisturizer since it seemed similar, but even that is stinging and not agreeing with my skin. These past 3 days have been a nightmare... Going to the dermatologist and getting treatment has been so difficult. I completely understand your struggle. Finding the right skincare products when you have such sensitive skin is truly an uphill battle. Here are a few suggestions that may help: 1. Try to stick to the most basic, gentle, and fragrance-free products for now. Look for cleansers, toners, and moisturizers labeled "for sensitive skin" from trusted brands. 2. Consider seeing a dermatologist again to get a proper assessment and recommendation for your skin type and concerns. They may be able to suggest specific products or ingredients to avoid. 3. Patch test any new products very carefully before applying all over your face. Start with just a small area and monitor for any reactions. 4. Be patient and give your skin time to recover. Avoid any harsh scrubbing or exfoliating until it's fully healed. 5. Consider using only soothing, hydrating ingredients like ceramides, centella, or cica for a while. I know it's so frustrating, but please don't give up. With some trial and error, you'll find the right products that work for your unique skin. Wishing you all the best in your skincare journey. Let me know if you need any other suggestions.

ConsIt seems to have been renewed this time, as the scent, color, and formulation have all changed a bit, so I'm disappointed. If it's not the product I've been using, my face breaks out in trouble, and I did break out.
TipIf you put it in the refrigerator and apply it, it's super refreshing bb.

ConsI used the product I bought from the door-to-door sales lady right away... In less than a minute, a burning sensation spread across my entire skin, and then unsightly, wide blisters started appearing all over, getting worse over time. My face also swelled up at the same time.. I cried in front of the mirror, worrying about what to do the next day, and immediately called the sales lady to ask what to do. 😢 Fortunately, my skin calmed down the next day, which was a relief, but I went to a dermatologist, got a refund, and that was the end of it!! After that, I'm afraid to try any new cosmetics 😢.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe only good thing about it was the 'initial usage' experience. After confirming the ingredients through Hwahae before purchasing, I found it to be moisturizing and somewhat oily, which I thought was nice when I applied it before bed. So my skin felt soft and smooth as a result. However, I couldn't find many other good points. I think it just didn't suit me well. ✔️Moisturizing like drinking water ✔️Appropriate oiliness (sebum control) ✔️Smoothing of skin texture
ConsTo be honest, this was a very disappointing product. I usually only use Primera products for skincare, so I bought this trusting the brand, but then I started getting milia. I wondered if it was because of this product, and when I stopped using it, the milia stopped appearing too. I was relieved, but also disappointed because the usage experience wasn't bad. I guess it just didn't suit me. Another disappointing aspect was the texture and fragrance. It had a somewhat acetone-like smell that I found quite strong, and the jelly-like texture was a bit inconvenient to use. ✔️Milia breakout due to incompatible skin type ✔️Strong acetone-like fragrance ✔️Unique jelly-like texture
TipSince this product has a unique texture, if you scoop it out with your fingers and massage it while rolling it around, your skin will feel more tightened and absorbed. And I think the acceptance of this product will vary greatly depending on what 'products' you use in the previous steps. If you build a solid base and finish with a refreshing feel, I think it will be easier to use. Personally, I think there is a limit to how much moisture this product alone can fill, so I would recommend using it as part of a complete skincare routine.
