Can't believe it's discontinued! How are hotels still getting these amenities? Maybe I'll have to buy from someone selling hotel amenities on secondhand markets. This is truly a life-changing emulsion. With this alone, you don't need moisturizer or essence. If your skin feels dry, just apply a second layer. It absorbs well without any pilling.
ConsThey need to sell products, don't they? After trying this, I can't use anything else!

How is this even possible?! - As someone with dry skin, I always skipped emulsions and went straight for creams. But this? It's a game-changer. It actually feels like it's hugging my skin. - The full-size comes in a pump bottle with gentle ingredients. What's not to love? - Goodbye to my old favorites - ISOI Propolis Cream and Sidmool Madagascar Cream. (Sorry, but thanks for everything!) - I wish I could give everyone with skin concerns like mine at least a sample sachet of this miracle worker. - My skin used to frequently get itchy and stinging in certain areas, especially my cheeks, leaving them swollen like mosquito bites. But those symptoms have reduced by 90%, and I can't help but do a little dance of joy. - Initially, I was taking medication and worried this might be causing occasional blemishes. But I trusted my instincts, kept using it, and once I stopped the meds, I experienced the most comfortable, softest skin of my 30 years (and counting). - Even without exfoliating, my skin texture and pores have visibly improved. - My complexion has brightened significantly, and some of the lighter pigmentation around my temples has disappeared, while the darker spots have faded. - My skin feels comfortable and like it can breathe. As a result, I rarely experience redness anymore. - Oh, and it doesn't cause my makeup to pill! - This is truly a holy grail product. Who says sensitive skin products can't have dramatic effects? Here's the proof!
Cons- The one fatal flaw: it's been discontinued. I even emailed Aveda Korea and their headquarters. Here's hoping the chairman will be moved and reverse the decision. - From what I understand, they've sold out of stock in Korea, but they say a sensitive version will be released in May under the Botanical Kinetics line. I'm worried the ingredients and formulation will change. - I should have grabbed it while I could, even though it was discontinued. - You can still find it online if you look hard enough, but who knows for how long? (It seems some hotels distribute it as an amenity, judging by the packaging.) - If I had to nitpick, the price might be an issue. It was around 50,000 won for 5oz. Buying the amenity version works out to about 45,000 won for 8oz (including shipping), which isn't bad. The downside is it comes in those open-air travel containers you find in hotel bathrooms, not a pump bottle. - But honestly, even that seems like a luxury complaint given how amazing this product is. As long as my skin type doesn't change, I'll be using this until the day I die.
Tip- They say to minimize your skincare routine for sensitive skin, right? That's why I keep it simple: COSRX mist for toning, The Ordinary Niacinamide, this product, and hemp seed oil. Sometimes I'll use Uriage Toléderm cream before the oil if needed. - The combination of niacinamide, this product, and hemp seed oil seems to work wonders. - To anyone out there struggling with persistent skin issues and constantly checking Hwahae for solutions - give this a try! I can't guarantee it'll work for everyone (we're all different), but it's worth a shot. - I loved it so much I gave some to my oily-skinned sister. She loved it too and asked where to buy it! - Update 30/11/2017: Still loving it! In winter, using just The Ordinary Niacinamide and this isn't quite enough in my dry office. So I've started using Acwell Sun Gel, which I used to find too moisturizing, and now it's perfect. Not dry at all. I just wish I could keep finding this even though it's discontinued!

Of all the emulsions I've used, this is the first one that absorbs so deeply and leaves my skin feeling so hydrated! I used to have a lot of blemishes and combination dehydrated skin, but since using this, I haven't had any breakouts. I'm worried it might be discontinued as it's becoming harder to find even at duty-free shops. This product absolutely must not be discontinued!
ConsWhile there's nothing to complain about in terms of effectiveness, the only downside might be the price...? But honestly, even if it becomes more expensive, I wouldn't mind as long as it doesn't get discontinued!
TipEven though I have oily skin, I feel like this alone isn't quite enough, so I layer it with Physiogel cream.

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.ProsThe texture is quite thin and absorbs quickly without the need for patting. I have sensitive skin that tends to break out with cystic acne and reacts badly to products not suitable for my combination skin, often resulting in irritation the next day. This leads me to frequent dermatologist visits. However, this product doesn't seem to cause any negative reactions on my skin. It feels refreshing too. This is an emulsion I'd like to keep using without looking for alternatives. I've tried fermented skincare products that are supposedly great if they suit your skin, but this product works much better for my skin compared to other brands I've used in a similar price range. The fact that it's fragrance-free makes it even more comfortable to apply. However, if you have dry skin, you might find it too drying to use without following up with a cream or additional moisturizing steps.
ConsFor the first two or three days, it felt like there wasn't enough moisture (though it didn't cause any breakouts). It might have been an adjustment period because after that, my skin seemed to regulate its own oil production, reaching a very balanced state. While it's on the pricier side... the benefits outweigh the cost. I only use toner and emulsion as my basic skincare, so I opt for a relatively cheaper toner.

It doesn't cause any additional blemishes, and it seems to have significantly calmed existing ones.
ConsThe oil control could be better. After a few hours, you start to feel a bit greasy, and when you wake up in the morning, especially around the nose area, it's so oily you could practically slide your finger across it.
TipI recommend using only a small amount on the T-zone to control the quantity.

While it doesn't feel velvety, I liked using it before bed because it doesn't feel oily. It didn't cause any blemishes.
ConsAs someone with combination skin, I didn't feel any moisturizing effect after application. I think it might be too drying for those with dry skin if used alone.

After discovering the Hwahae app, I came across this emulsion while researching ingredients. It absorbs well without irritation, and I find it so hydrating that I don't need to apply a separate cream!
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about it, but if I had to pick something, it would be the price as usual.
TipWhen you pat it in, it seems to absorb beautifully, leaving the skin feeling hydrated!
