The texture is so pleasant, and it glides on smoothly.
ConsHowever, when layering for more coverage, it doesn't absorb well, sits on the skin, and separates. It doesn't provide good coverage either. There's a strong feeling of it just sitting on top of the skin. As time passes, it emphasizes hidden dead skin cells, and when I looked in the mirror, I was truly shocked. It makes your face look really unflattering. I seriously wonder who called this a holy grail BB cream. I wanted to throw it away after using it once. I feel deceived by the advertisements claiming it has good ingredients.
TipWhen applying, it seems you really need to perfect your skincare routine beforehand.

But honestly, that's about all there is to it...
ConsAt first, it seemed okay because it felt moisturizing during application. However, the coverage is pretty weak. I didn't expect dramatic coverage from a BB cream, so I could overlook that. But what's really disappointing is how terribly it wears throughout the day. It's shocking how unattractive my makeup looks after a while. It only feels hydrating when you first apply it. Within a few hours, it emphasizes dead skin cells like crazy, and the BB cream just sits separately on top of the skin. It pills, separates... It's beyond touch-ups; you'd need to completely remove and reapply. Even my boyfriend noticed and suggested I should switch to a different product.
TipI've got nothing more to say. I guess I'll have to go back to using my old Missha one... sigh.

It's not greasy and doesn't cause darkening.
ConsIt seems lighter compared to other BB creams. Also, unlike other products I use, this one seems to emphasize dead skin cells - it's like it makes the skin look flaky. But it's not all over the face, just on the dry areas, so it's okay.
TipEven if you usually use shade 21, I think shade 23 would work fine for you too.

The color wasn't that typical ashy BB cream shade, which was nice. It felt more hydrating than my usual dry foundation.
ConsThe adherence is seriously laughable! It doesn't stick at all, no matter how you apply it - with a beauty blender, patting with fingers, or brushing it on. Since it doesn't adhere well, the staying power is also poor. It seems to emphasize pores and wrinkles, and the shine makes my already troubled skin look even worse. While the color seemed okay at first, it somehow turns unflattering once it's on my face. Maybe it's because I have darker skin.
TipThis might look glowy and pretty on those with good skin. In conclusion, it's not for me.

ConsIt oxidizes quickly, and the staying power is honestly terrible. It doesn't cover pores well either. While I really liked the ingredients, as someone with sensitive skin who often reacts to new products, I developed four large blemishes after switching to this BB cream.
TipPersonally, I don't recommend it. It might work for others, but for those with super sensitive skin like me, I really can't suggest it.

The #23 shade is incredibly natural-looking, matching my skin tone perfectly. I can apply it at school without anyone noticing I'm wearing makeup.
ConsThe color is so natural that it's completely undetectable. However, the coverage is really disappointing. There was a lot of hype about it being a holy grail BB cream with decent coverage, so I had high expectations, but it barely covers anything. I thought it was safe to use since it seemed to have few harmful ingredients, but my skin, which had been improving lately, got much worse after using this. I wanted to include more photos, but it's too unpleasant to look at. I usually only apply sunscreen on my forehead and BB cream or foundation elsewhere due to my bangs, but since my bangs have grown out, I applied the Iron Wall BB cream on my forehead too. To my horror, tiny blemishes covered my entire face. I never used to get blemishes on my forehead, but now it's covered in small bumps. This is truly the worst BB cream. I spent over 20,000 won on this instead of buying clothes I wanted, and now I can't even use it. Suspecting the Iron Wall BB cream was causing these issues, I stopped using it for two days and saw some improvement. But as soon as I used it again, the blemishes came right back. It's like I'm breaking out in acne that resembles atopic dermatitis or chickenpox. My skin is in such a terrible state lately, it's incredibly frustrating. I bought this trusting the W.Lab Facebook ads despite some reservations, but now I'm furious. Oh, and it also cakes up around the sides of my nose and mouth (even though I didn't have much dead skin that day).
TipI don't understand why this is happening when my skin isn't particularly sensitive. Since some people say it works really well for them, if you think it might suit you, go ahead and try it. However, I wouldn't recommend it for those with very sensitive skin. If you do buy it, get shade 21. Shade 23 is perfect for those with skin tones between 22-23, it just looks like your natural skin. It might even be darker than your actual complexion.

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.ProsAs someone who usually uses shade 23, I was worried about there being only one shade, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it matched my skin tone. The coverage was pretty decent, better than the BB cream I used before.
ConsAfter about a month of use, blemishes started appearing, dead skin cells became more noticeable, and the staying power wasn't great. Also, the scent is quite off-putting. While the ingredients are supposedly gentle, it just didn't work for me.
TipApplying with your hands will definitely result in pilling or patchiness. Make sure to prep your skin well with skincare, then apply using a puff. A small amount provides sufficient coverage.
