The texture is somewhat like a runny nose with a bit of viscosity, and the scent wasn't bad either. It's hard to describe, but it smells kind of healthy or natural - anyway, it was nice.
ConsThere's a slight sticky feeling after use. Because of this, makeup often didn't apply well over it. I ended up using this product frequently as part of my evening skincare routine before bed, rather than under makeup. Although it's marketed for acne-prone and oily skin, I didn't see any dramatic effects. It was just okay to use. However, this also means it was gentle enough for regular use, so it might be good for everyday skincare.

The staff member who gave me the sample said it was good even for sensitive skin prone to blemishes, like when she was a student. I was skeptical but tried it anyway. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it really nice. It absorbs well, leaves my skin feeling fresh without any heaviness, and has a pleasant scent. I'm not one to leave good reviews often, but this is genuinely good. I'm puzzled why it's been discontinued. The super-fast absorption is great - it doesn't sit on the face or leave an oily residue, which I love.
ConsThere's not much to complain about, but I can't understand why they discontinued it.

The scent is a pleasant, natural aroma that's not overpowering.
ConsWhile it's truly lightweight and moisturizing, it might be too light. After a few hours, it seems to disappear completely. The packaging claims 24-hour wear, but it looks like all the hydration evaporated long before that.
TipApplying two or three light layers would probably work wonders for hydration.

The scent is pleasantly crisp and appealing to me.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing... It absorbs thinly, and even without toner, it keeps my skin hydrated.

It spreads easily, feels lightweight, and has a refreshing feel. The hydration is great, and after application, my skin feels firmer, creating a perfect base for makeup. It really helps the makeup adhere well. The scent is fresh and invigorating - it's hard to describe, but I think most people would enjoy it. It's a pleasant, non-overwhelming fragrance! I have oily, acne-prone skin, but after using this day and night, my blemishes have practically disappeared. Even during my menstrual cycle when my skin is super sensitive, it keeps my complexion smooth. It really seems to help with blemishes!
ConsThe downside is that while it can be described as having a firming effect, it could also be considered a bit sticky. The stickiness was somewhat disappointing. But honestly, that's the only drawback!
TipHighly recommended for those with blemish-prone skin!

I personally found the smell a bit off-putting.
ConsThere's a slight oiliness to it, so those with oily skin who dislike rich textures might want to avoid this.
TipDespite that, I'm still using it regularly and finding it works well for me.

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.ProsI mainly apply it to my T-zone, which is combination-oily, and use just a tiny amount elsewhere. When using a small quantity, it absorbs well and feels quite hydrating. The scent is pleasantly fresh too. It has that crisp fragrance that's perfect for blemish-prone skin. It's great for spring, summer, and fall, but I'd say it's ideal for summer when used alone.
ConsIf you apply a bit too much, it feels slippery and doesn't absorb well. It's like it just sits on top of the skin.
TipIt seems controlling the amount is crucial. The container design makes it a bit tricky to shake out the right amount, but it's better to tap out small quantities. For seasons other than summer, you might need to layer another product on top.

The scent might be divisive as it's not your typical fragrant smell. My first impression was a medicinal scent with a hint of emulsion. Personally, I liked that it didn't have an artificial smell.
ConsI chose this for oily skin, but it still has some richness to it. Right after application, there's a slight oily feeling, and as time passes, it becomes more slippery. If you have oily skin and dislike cosmetics with any oil content, you might want to avoid this.
TipApart from the rich feel, I'm quite satisfied and continue to use it.

I personally loved the scent too.
ConsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin - dry inside but oily on the surface - I found this emulsion alone wasn't quite enough. I think it needs to be paired with a hydrating cream.

Being lightweight, it absorbs quickly without any stickiness. I've been using it along with the toner since my student days, and recently my parents have started using it too. They really love its refreshing feel and subtle fragrance.
ConsWhile the toner alone can visibly improve my skin overnight when it's really bad, I didn't notice the same improvement when using only the emulsion before bed. I think it would be even better if it focused not just on treating blemishes and hydration, but also on nourishment.
TipMake sure to apply a generous amount after the toner to maintain hydration until morning.
