Pros

I keep this product stocked up and use it! I've already used up three bottles and still have one more, so I feel at ease. I mainly use it as a cleansing balm, and if I'm feeling lazy, I also use it as a cleansing oil. My skin is not completely free of blemishes, so this is a product I use as a sort of insurance (?) during my skincare routine. It's clear that when I stopped using it for about a month, my acne visibly flared up, so I ended up buying the product again. I suspect that either the propolis or the centella ingredient is what helps control my acne. The effects seem somewhat inconsistent, but I can definitely feel the difference when I don't use it, so I always end up going back to it.

Cons

While the fragrance is pleasant, there is a certain level of irritation. I use exfoliating pads regularly, and when I use this product along with that, my skin all over feels stinging and irritated for a while, so I had to stop using it. The centella doesn't seem to be a very high concentration, but if I overdo the exfoliation, I can immediately feel my skin becoming sensitive during the cleansing step. It's as if it's constantly teetering between acne prevention and skin sensitivity.

Pros

Very effective for people with oily skin. I live in the Philippines and I must say, it works perfectly for people like me who have oily skin. Lasts up to three months also, so it's a really good choice in my opinion.

Cons

The only thing I don't like about this product is its smell. The smell is quite weird and not really appealing. It doesn't undermine though the fact that this product is very effective for oily skin in tropical conditions.

Pros

My pores are gradually improving It feels refreshing There may be a slightly drying sensation after cleansing, but It's good for managing pores and exfoliation without the need for separate exfoliation

Cons

Some may not like the slight alcohol scent, but I personally found it refreshing and pleasant

Tip

After cleansing, don't wipe off the moisture, but apply the mist Soak a cotton pad with the toner and apply it generously to areas with prominent pores My nose pores have significantly reduced

Pros

I've been using this product for over a year for my dehydrated skin. It helps refine my skin texture and controls oil to some extent, so I've had fewer breakouts since using it. It works so well for me that I've stocked up on a few bottles in advance.

Cons

It may sting a bit when applied to areas with irritation, so please be careful.

Tip

Using a cotton pad shows the amount of impurities it removes. Haha.

Pros

I've never used a product with the Hwahae Trial Reviewer, so I bought this one with an experimental spirit from Coupang at a reasonable price and reasonable rating. I finished one bottle, but I couldn't feel even one advantage.

Cons

The alcohol smell is very strong, and I have no idea if it has any acne improvement function after applying it. The unique smell of an acne product only raised my expectations, but it has no function at all.

Pros

🔸Skin Type (Sensitive, Combination, Dry, Acne-prone) -Extremely sensitive skin, even using a different product for a day can cause skin troubles -Combination skin with very oily T-zone -Severely dehydrated, skin feels very tight and makeup doesn't look good after cleansing -Slightly acne-prone on forehead and chin (gets a bit worse during certain periods) *Used unsuitable skincare products in the past that worsened my skin 🔸Texture It's a liquid-type toner with no viscosity at all. 🔸Skin Calming, Trouble Relief I had used other products that disrupted my skin, but using this line's skin lotion helped a lot in soothing my skin. I think the emulsion effect was even more beneficial. Using them together worked great. This product also gave me a soothing, sanitized feeling, and helped calm my skin, though it did seem to irritate on my most sensitive days. 🔸Exfoliation The BHA component seemed to effectively reduce excess dead skin cells, so I didn't need to use a separate exfoliator.

Cons

🔸Skin Irritation It's true that I did see results from using this product, but it also seems to cause quite a bit of irritation. My skin always feels stinging when I use it. But since I'm seeing benefits, I've continued using it. I'm not sure if I'll repurchase it, though, mainly due to this irritation. 🔸Fragrance The fragrance is really strong and pungent, it stings my nose. It seems to be from the alcohol content, which I noticed in the ingredients as well. Be mindful that the alcohol can be drying with long-term use.

Tip

♦️I don't have any specific tips, but since this contains BHA, using it with a cotton pad may be too harsh for sensitive skin types. I'd recommend applying it with your hands and gently patting it in. You can just use the cotton pad occasionally when exfoliating.♦️

Pros

The same brand AHA products show noticeable effects even after using them just once, but I'm not sure if the effects are as pronounced since I haven't used them for a while. I purchased the Baha product because I was told that AHA can be too irritating to use daily. After checking the website, I found that the Baha product also contains a bit of AHA. I use the essence every other day or once a day. The formula is similar to a cleansing balm, so it can be used as a toner-like first step. I first cleanse with a tea tree toner, then use the AHA or Baha product on a cotton pad to wipe my face a couple of times, like a cleansing balm. After that, I gently pat it into my skin with my palms. Then I apply the Centella Cica cream as a moisturizer. It's better to use the AHA or Baha products at night due to sun exposure. Oh, and I was told by the company that the Baha product can be stored in the refrigerator, not just at room temperature.

Cons

This product is in the essence line when you go to the COSRX website, but it's in the toner section because the formula is similar to a cleansing balm, so it can be used as a toner-like first step.

Tip

The product also contains propolis, which helps to regulate sebum/oil production. I was told this by the company representative.

Pros

Do you have enlarged pores? This will solve it If it feels like it's removing the enlarged pores, the emulsion in the same line seems to quickly alleviate scarring.

Cons

Since I have Ahava, on days when my skin is too sensitive, I can't use it.

Tip

If you want to see quick results and absorb too much, it can actually cause red acne to appear, so it's better to dab it on a cotton pad and wipe it off!!

Pros

I'm not sure if there were any particularly good points, but it seemed refreshing and not too strong.

Cons

My skin is a bit sensitive and I sometimes get blemishes. If you have dry skin or very sensitive skin, it would be better to check carefully and use it.

Pros

It feels like the acne-affected areas are being disinfected haha. After using this, the acne didn't come back and it even seemed to disappear, so it was good.

Cons

It's expensive...😢😢😢 It's just water, so I end up using a lot of it, and it's not like the amount is that much to begin with 😢 But it does have an effect, so...

Tip

When acne suddenly pops up, you can soak a cotton pad with it and pat it on the skin for about 10 minutes, and the acne will subside a bit the next day.
