I started mixing my nighttime moisturizer with it and using it that way. It made my skin feel so much more comfortable. Even when my skin was drying out, I would apply it to the backs of my hands, around my nails, and even to the ends of my hair before bed - it was so versatile and helpful.
ConsThe oil does take some time to absorb into the skin. While it didn't make my long hair ends any more moisturized, it did help smooth them down a bit since the oil coated them. You do have to use just a small amount, but it works well when used moderately.

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!

Absorption Compared to other jojoba oils, I felt that the absorption was definitely faster. Soothing Effect These days, as the weather is transitioning from winter to spring, my face has become very dry and sensitive. But when I applied it, I could clearly feel my skin becoming soothed and comfortable. Glass Dropper Bottle I've used various oils and other jojoba oils, but I still think the brown glass dropper bottle is the best for oils. The packaging feels comfortable to use. Removing Whiteheads and Blackheads I increased the amount I usually use and massaged it in, and the sebum came out in little balls. The blackheads didn't disappear completely, but they visibly lightened.
ConsThe price... to be honest, it's expensive considering the volume. It's over 20,000 won for 30ml, and even on sale, it's almost 20,000 won. No matter how it has the USDA certification, I think it's on the pricier side. There are other USDA-certified products that are more affordable, so while the product is good, the price is a bit disappointing.
TipWhen your skin is very tired, if you apply it more generously than usual and sleep with it on (even if it rubs off on your bedding), your skin will feel supple and smooth the next day! For those with rough skin texture, try applying a bit excessively and use it like a sleeping pack.

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 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.

The ingredients are good, and it feels so soothing on the skin. From head to toe, there's no place I don't use it - I love it so much! It's also convenient to carry around, and the large size makes me want to keep it at home.
ConsI wish they had a larger size option. Other than that, I don't have any complaints.
TipI even use a drop or two in my face mist, mix it into my cushion foundation, apply it to my heels, and the ends of my damp hair. I also blend it into my body lotion - it's just so good!

Even though it's an oil, it doesn't cause any trouble and instead provides appropriate moisture, making my previously dry skin feel comfortable. The ingredients are also great, and it can be mixed and applied with creams and BB creams.
ConsThe price is a bit on the expensive side, and I couldn't find it in Olive Young or Lala Blah (Watson's), only in Lohbs.
TipAfter applying all my basic skincare products, I put about 3 drops on my palm, let it sit on my face for a few seconds, and then spread it out. It forms a great moisturizing layer.

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.ProsJust two drops of Hohooba oil are enough, so it's convenient without needing other basic products. I recommend it for sensitive and oily skin types who want to avoid surfactants and silicones. It has a golden color and a nutty aroma. When you rub it in your palms and gently press it into your face, it absorbs right in. After applying, your skin feels taut and smooth. The price range is a bit high, but the packaging is luxurious and the dropper bottle is easy to use. The brown bottle also gives me more peace of mind for storage.
ConsIt doesn't state whether the oil was cold-pressed, which is a bit disappointing. Unless it's on sale, the price can be burdensome.
TipIt can be used not just on the face, but also on the body and hair. I've been using a drop rubbed in my hands as a hair essence instead. If you apply too much, it can make your hair look greasy, so just lightly apply it to the ends of your hair.

At the time, I was having skin issues - my complexion was uneven and my moisture balance was off, resulting in breakouts on my cheeks and other areas. But after using this product along with the rose water and damask rose night essence, my skin really improved! Haha. I often get asked what I'm currently using, and this oil is great for most skin types. It's not too strong or heavy. It helps balance the moisture levels and provides nourishment with a lightweight feel. It's been wonderful for getting me through the dry winter season without dryness. The bottle is small, but it lasts quite a while. And the dropper is hygienic.
ConsNone, haha. If it doesn't suit your skin, there's nothing to be done, but I doubt that would be the case.
TipIf you find the price a bit steep, try to stock up when there are promotions at Lohbs - it does sell out sometimes, so you have to be patient. It's an imported product, and they don't seem to be in constant production, so it's good to grab it when you can.
