The absorption was quick, as expected of a moisturizing cream, and it had a moderate oiliness that left a slightly dewy complexion without being greasy. As my skin type is dry-combination, using only moisturizing products would sometimes leave a tight feeling, so I've tried various products. Among the moisturizing creams I've used, this one had a suitable amount of oiliness, so the tight feeling wasn't severe, but it felt a bit light to use alone, leaving a slight sense of insufficiency. In fact, the best aspect of the Ginoza cosmetics was the fragrance. No matter what cosmetics I used, I always enjoyed the gentle yet lingering scent, which would lift my mood every time I applied it. However, when I searched for Ginoza after trying Hwahae, I saw a red flag warning about the product containing a significant amount of fragrance ingredients, which was disappointing, leading me to try other cosmetics.
ConsI had thought that Ginoza, being an expensive product, would be free of harmful ingredients, but it turns out that's not the case. As an imported product, it was highly regarded and certified by various skin care shops, leading me to believe it was a quality product worth the high price. However, the discovery of harmful ingredients was disappointing. It seems the high price was just hype, and I've learned that I need to be more diligent in checking the actual ingredients, rather than just relying on the brand reputation and price tag. The Ginoza line is quite expensive, with serums costing around 300,000 won and regular creams around 100,000 won. Despite the high price, I had been using the Ginoza line exclusively up until now. However, the cost was always a burden. If I had known about the harmful ingredients earlier, I wouldn't have used it. Going forward, I will be sure to make better use of the Hwahae app to thoroughly research product ingredients before making purchases.
TipAs someone who majored in dermatology and worked at a skin care shop, I've had a keen interest in skincare since my high school days when I struggled with acne. Through my studies, I learned that expensive cosmetics don't necessarily mean they are the best, and that the ingredients are what truly matter. Since then, I've experimented extensively with various methods to find what works best for my own skin. I've come to realize that everyone's skin is different, so developing and consistently following your own personalized skincare routine is the key. Even the best products may not work for you if they don't suit your unique skin type. Skin types can also change over time and with environmental factors. While skin is generally categorized as normal, dry, oily, sensitive, or combination, there are many nuanced variations within these types. It's important to adapt your products seasonally and as your skin evolves. In my opinion, the most crucial step is cleansing. Thoroughly removing makeup and impurities is more important than using fancy skincare products, as proper cleansing allows your skin to better absorb the subsequent products. I tend to focus more on diligent cleansing than elaborate makeup application. As a dry-combination skin type, I primarily use hydrating products. Overly oily products can leave my skin feeling greasy and uncomfortable. In the summer, I stick to a simple toner-moisturizer routine for a light, refreshing finish. In the cooler seasons, I add an essence/serum step for extra hydration. I believe using too many skincare products can actually clog pores and interfere with the skin's natural regenerative abilities, so I try to be mindful of not overdoing it with my routine. I hope that many Hwahae users who share my passion for finding the right skincare can experiment with different products and develop their own personalized methods to achieve healthy, glowing skin.

I'm still using it well, but since I'm naturally dry, there's no oiliness at all. But it's still moisturizing~
ConsThere's no trouble, but it's a complete moisturizing cream with no oiliness at all~ I'll have to use it a bit more to know, but as an esthetic cosmetic, the price is a bit evil^^;
TipWhen using this and the 888 line, the oil-moisture balance fits a bit better~~

There's no oiliness and I didn't get any acne. The application is smooth and the absorption is great.
ConsNot really..? Except for the expensive ones, there's nothing else. The products are from aesthetic clinics, so they're not easy to find. But these days, even that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.

The application is good, it doesn't feel heavy, and there's not too much oil, so it seems suitable for sensitive skin that's prone to breakouts.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that it's expensive. The quick absorption may be the reason why it doesn't seem to show much effect right after application.
TipApplying a water-based oil before the moisturizer helps lock in the moisture really well.
