I mixed it with my cleansing routine and it was effective for blackheads.
ConsWhen I just used it, it felt like it made my oily areas break out a bit more.
TipI have combination skin, so I mixed it with my mask and cleansing routine~^^

I quickly bought it when I saw it on sale on Hwahae. Compared to regular oils, it's less oily, so it's good to mix with a lotion or cream as the last step of your skincare routine. The scent is mild and the application feels nice. It helps balance the oil-moisture ratio and provides good hydration. I gave a bottle to my son to use for blackhead removal, and he keeps it in the bathroom to use occasionally. While it doesn't completely remove blackheads like a blackhead pack or peeling, it's less irritating and seems to gradually improve the condition with consistent use. I think it would work well for most skin types, except for extremely oily skin.
ConsThe only downside is that the bottle size is small, so I'll likely go through it quickly.

And I found it on sale at Hwahae - 1+1 with an additional discount! The packaging is just the right size to hold in your hand, and it's in a safe container that doesn't oxidize, so I feel reassured. The texture applies smoothly and leaves my skin feeling moisturized. As it's an oil, it doesn't get absorbed immediately, but after gently massaging and patting it in a few times, it gets fully absorbed. I was worried it might feel greasy or cause breakouts, but not at all. Mixing a drop or two into my moisturizer or lotion makes my skin so hydrated and glowy.
ConsThere doesn't seem to be any real downside. The only thing is that the amount is a bit small, but that's understandable for an oil product since you only need to use a small amount.
TipI've been mixing 2 drops into my body lotion and applying it to my arms and legs - makes them so smooth and silky! I also add a drop to my foundation or cushion when doing my makeup, and it makes my skin look even more hydrated and the makeup applies better. I've been using it on my dry lips, elbows, and even on my hair. It's so versatile!

I bought it because they kept raving about it. The fragrance is not irritating, and it feels moisturizing when used as a finishing step in my skincare routine.
ConsI bought the Copigen product because they said it's good for pores. I thought I could just lightly apply it at the end of my routine, but it doesn't seem to emulsify well. After massaging it in, I tried to emulsify it with water, but it just slid off without emulsifying at all. It would be nice if there was a usage guide for how to properly use Copigen, especially if it's meant for pores. I looked at other reviews, and they just said it's good, but there's no detailed explanation on how to use it.

In the winter, this oil alone makes me fearless of the biting wind. I can always maintain a moisturized glow.
ConsEven though I have dry skin, the nourishment is so abundant that when I apply foundation after using this oil, an oily residue comes up. On days when makeup is important, skip the oil. I always make sure to apply it diligently for my nighttime skincare routine to strengthen my skin barrier.

I usually don't apply body lotion because it's so sticky... After applying it and some time has passed for it to absorb, there's a slightly soft feeling left behind. It doesn't make my skin greasy or anything.
ConsI don't have any issues with it yet, but the volume seems a bit small. I'd like to buy a larger size to use on my body as well.

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.ProsI was looking for various products to try using oil in the winter because I dislike the dryness. I ended up purchasing jojoba oil as it is certified organic and has a single ingredient, which gave me confidence. Rather than using it on its own, I mix 2-3 drops into ampoules or serums, which has reduced the number of cosmetic steps I need. It definitely leaves my skin more moisturized and the effects last longer.
ConsThe downside of oil products is that they should not be used for more than 3 months. Unless you apply the oil on its own, the reduction in usage may not be significant, so it's important to keep track of the expiration date and use it accordingly. One method is to write the opening date on the product.
TipI also mix the oil into my body lotion. It definitely makes my skin more moisturized. And since oil products are sensitive to light, it's best to store them in a dark place. I keep mine in the drawer of my dressing room rather than on my well-lit vanity.

I usually use the Desert Essence jojoba oil, which suits me well, and there is not much difference, but the packaging of this one is more premium and easier to use. I also like the small size. In the morning, I mix a drop with my moisturizer and it keeps my skin hydrated and moist. These days, when the cold wind blows, I apply an extra layer of just the oil, and it doesn't clog my pores or feel heavy. The absorption is also very quick!
ConsThere are no particularly disappointing aspects. ㅎㅎ Since it's a jojoba oil that suits me well, there's no inconvenience with the packaging, and the fragrance-free formula doesn't bother me.
TipLately, my matte cushion has been getting cakey, so I dropped a few drops of this oil and applied it, and it didn't feel heavy or cakey at all. ㅎ Dropping too much might reduce the coverage, but about three drops is just right - no oily residue, just a natural glow. It absorbs really well and there's almost no transfer.

Using it before applying makeup also helps the makeup last longer. Although I have very dry skin that tends to feel tight, this cream doesn't cause any tightness. However, I found it worked even better when using it for self-massage on the body rather than the face.
ConsIt felt a bit heavy. If you don't measure the amount properly when applying it to the face, it can be difficult to absorb. And I did experience a mild rash that went away quickly.
TipI think mixing it with a lotion works better for absorption than using it as a gel. The gel felt like the oil and other ingredients weren't blending together properly. I'm not sure if it had a calming effect on my face, but it was excellent for using during self-massage on my body. Mixing a drop or two with my body lotion made my skin feel moisturized for a long time and gave it a healthy glow that lasted. Since my face and body are both quite dry, and my face is very sensitive, this seems better suited for use on my body rather than my face.

Although I have combination skin, I've learned that when my normal-to-dry skin becomes dehydrated, it overproduces oil, and in the dry autumn and winter seasons, my T-zone tends to feel tight, so I've been looking for the right face oil. This oil is just perfect. I was lucky enough to be selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program and get to use it, but I will definitely buy it with my own money going forward!! It really feels like it balances my oil and moisture levels. I mix a drop or two into my night cream and it reduces the tightness and makes my skin feel so comfortable. (Of course, I don't apply it to my T-zone) I also like that it's from Alteya Organics, so I can trust the ingredients. Ah! Another thing I really like is that the bottle is very sturdy. The twist-open cap or the dropper lid doesn't leak at all!!! (This is the most important thing - if the oil leaks, it's such a hassle...) The product label design is also clean and organic-looking, which I like. (subjective opinion)
ConsThe only downside is the price ㅋㅋ These days there are so many affordable products out there ㅎㅎ But I think this quality of oil is worth the price. And since it's a trustworthy organic oil, I feel it's worth buying and using. The product packaging is nice too. Next time, I might try the rosehip oil...
TipAlthough it may seem like a common way that everyone uses, I use this product in the following ways: Mixing a drop or two into my cream, Also mixing it into my hand cream! Applying it directly to areas on my outer thighs or arms that tend to get dry and cracked in the winter, Adding a couple drops to my hair essence, Mixing a drop into my foundation I've heard that some people use it for exfoliating or applying to the scalp, so I might try those applications next time as well ㅎㅎ
