ConsThe texture is thick and sticky. The ingredients are disappointing. The coverage is weak. Careful application is necessary.

The coverage and longevity are not as strong, but it feels more natural and isn't drying, which is nice.
ConsIt's a bit dark and the coverage isn't that great. I thought the ingredients were good, but I was surprised to see on the Hwahae app that they aren't.
TipI apply this product after my skincare routine and then put on sunscreen.

It's just my opinion, but if you have trouble or sensitivity or are oily, you should use Royal BB. If you have dry or very dry skin and no trouble, Hera will be more moisturizing~~
ConsI used it for longer than expected, but when I checked the ingredients, ㅜㅜ It's not that great, but fortunately there are no side effects compared to the bad ingredients, ㅜㅜ
TipIn the winter, you can mix it with a moisturizing cream or a drop of oil~~

It doesn't dry out - When I use foundation, it tends to crack and flake over time, but this actually brings a slight oil to the surface, making my skin look more hydrated and glowy. 2. It doesn't make me look muddy - Many people stop using certain products because they say it makes their skin look dull over time, but I haven't experienced that with this one. 3. Natural-looking coverage - I actually feel like this provides even better coverage than foundation. It applies smoothly and evenly, blurring pores and imperfections. Yet, it still looks like my natural, healthy skin.
Cons1. Ingredients - Haha, I first encountered this when a skin clinic recommended it as a 'regenerating BB cream' that I could even sleep in. But after looking at the ingredients, I can't sleep anymore. Yet, I've been using it for over a decade and never had any breakouts, which is strange. 2. It's quite thick and difficult to spread 3. The scent is not great
TipSince it's quite thick, I always mix in a drop or two of face oil before applying. And I use a sponge - you know, the triangular one - to dab it on, which makes my skin look absolutely flawless.

This product helps control redness well and leaves my skin feeling moisturized after application. Surprisingly, it blends naturally with my skin tone. It doesn't cause any breakouts, and I can even wear it when sleeping. This is a reliable color-correcting BB cream that I can use with confidence.
ConsThe biggest downside is that it's quite expensive. The texture also feels a bit thick when applying. Towards the end of the tube, the water and BB cream tend to separate, which can be frustrating. The water will squirt out first, followed by the thick BB cream, so you have to squeeze the tube carefully. If you're looking for significant skin tone enhancement, this may not meet your expectations.

But the Alex BB cream doesn't get cakey and I've been using it for a long time. It's also less whitening than other products, but it's not too dark either. It doesn't get dry over time either~ Oh, and a friend who came over to my house the other day said the BB cream didn't look cakey on her nose area, so I recommended the Alex BB cream to her and she's been using only that~
ConsHmm... the coverage isn't that strong, and while everything else works, freckles still show through a bit. That's why I also use the Clio Kill Cover Cushion in the redness line~ And since it's a BB cream, it's not matte, so when I do my hair after makeup, my hair sticks to my face haha I just found out the ingredients today... It was called a 'regenerating BB cream', but is that why my skin is like this? But the moisture doesn't last long.. ㅜㅜ And looking at other people's reviews, I realized this BB cream adjusts to your skin tone as you apply it. It was quite white at first haha
TipIf you have atopic dermatitis or dry skin and feel like your makeup gets cakey or dry over time, I'd recommend this BB cream.

When I applied it to my face, it didn't feel heavy or stuffy.
ConsAfter discovering the Hwahae app and looking into it, I was shocked to see how many harmful ingredients there are... I was going to repurchase it, but now I'm in the midst of a dilemma.

ConsThey said the ingredients were good, but the ingredients don't seem that great considering the price.
TipIt's a good type for layering. It's also useful when doing touch-ups.

I wonder if that's really possible.
Cons- The application is very thick and stiff, like applying a super high SPF body sunblock on the face. It's surprisingly difficult to spread. - The unforgivable smell, like old cosmetic oil? - The stuffy, heavy feeling may be due to the smell. I also bought the Alex Royal Vegan, which I initially thought had gone bad because of the smell, but tried this one and realized that's just how it is. - It evens out the tone to a uniform grayish color. - As you can see, it contains quite concerning ingredients. While it doesn't cause breakouts, there aren't any outstanding benefits either, so I don't want to use it.
