A great advantage is that it's colorless, so it works well regardless of your complexion.
ConsThe gold shimmer particles... they just don't blend in. While it's not too noticeable once you apply foundation or other base products after rubbing it in a few times, I still can't quite figure out why the gold shimmer is even there. Perhaps it's just to justify the name? Also, the fragrance of the product might be polarizing for some. There's quite a strong alcohol scent, which I personally found off-putting.
TipYou need to let it absorb before applying other products. If you apply makeup right away, the base tends to slide around. Personally, I won't be repurchasing this.

The rich, fluid texture also helps to smooth out my skin texture.
ConsWhile the separate lid on the container is good for hygiene, I find it difficult to open and close. Also, the gold shimmer doesn't blend as well as I'd hoped, sometimes showing up unexpectedly over my foundation, which can be a bit awkward.

Makes my skin look amazing. People often say I look like a granite egg because of my slightly darker complexion
ConsWould have been better without the glitter. It's annoying to remove and doesn't come off easily

I bought this after hearing the buzz and when I first used it, my makeup really stuck! But now, I'm not so sure. Maybe it's because I'm using a different foundation (I used Guerlain Blanc de Perle on the first day). These days, I don't often apply it before makeup, but I use it for touch-ups. I squeeze one pump for each cheek, blend it in, and then gently wipe with a tissue. After that, I apply another pump and then put on my cushion foundation - it absorbs just like in the morning! I love using it for touch-ups. During the day, I keep it on my office desk, and when I'm out, I carry a small container from Daiso filled with the product.
ConsEnough with the meaningless gold shimmer... It just sits on your face without blending in! Please just remove it!

The foundation adheres perfectly to the skin, and while it doesn't completely eliminate creasing around the nose, it significantly reduces it. I used to love full-coverage makeup, but after applying this and doing my base, I realized how beautiful a natural look can be. The water-like texture, when applied with a foundation puff, makes it look like you're not wearing any makeup at all. It doesn't completely prevent makeup from breaking down, but when it does, it's much less noticeable than without it.
ConsThe glitter! I'm not sure why it's there, but when it sticks to your face while applying, you have to remove it.
TipI didn't see results when I used it incorrectly. Don't let it dry after application - apply your base immediately while it's still moist, and use a generous amount to keep your skin hydrated.

I'm especially impressed with how clean my chin area looks even at night. As someone with dry skin, I love how moisturizing it is. One pump is enough to cover my entire face, so I think it'll last a long time.
ConsOccasionally, some gold shimmer particles don't fully dissolve and end up on the skin, but it's very rare and can be avoided by blending well. There are days when my makeup breaks down quickly regardless, but I guess that's just due to my skin condition on those days...
TipI typically use one pump and apply it with my fingers, just like I would with skincare products. It works even better if you focus on areas prone to makeup breakdown like around the nose, mouth, chin, and nasolabial folds.

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 bought this out of curiosity after hearing good things about it. The positive aspects? Well, it has some gold shimmer in it. And when you apply it, your skin feels more hydrated. That's about it, I guess.
ConsHmm, I'm not sure if this product actually works. I bought it because of the positive reviews, but I'm not convinced. Isn't this just a regular moisturizer? It seems like a basic hydrating cream with a bit of gold shimmer. Even though I have dry skin, I feel like I can get the same level of hydration by applying a regular moisturizer generously or using a damp beauty sponge. I can't really tell any significant benefits from using this product. It feels like I wasted my money. The alcohol content actually makes my skin feel slightly dry after a while. Also, if you apply anything on top of this, your makeup starts pilling immediately. I've even experienced some blemishes from using it.

I have dry skin that's prone to dead skin cells, but since this has a hydrating base, when I apply it before my foundation, the flakiness completely disappears! It even saves bases that don't usually work well for me. Among the affordable dupes for Guerlain L'Or, I think this is the best. The Face Shop often has sales, so it's the most budget-friendly option too. I started using it in spring and used it less in summer (I checked and it's been about 6 months of use, so I marked 6 months). Come winter, I think it'll be my daily essential. Even now, I can't do my makeup without it. I love The Face Shop!
ConsThe formula is a hydrating base with fine gold shimmer mixed in. Since I have large pores despite my dry skin, if I don't blend it well, the shimmer doesn't fully dissolve and can remain visible on the skin. As long as you're careful about this, I think most people would be able to use it well.
TipSince I have quite large pores for dry skin, I also need to use a pore primer. I find the best order is sunscreen, pore primer, then this product - it prevents makeup from separating and applies thinly. I think it's a must-have base for winter. Your makeup adheres perfectly! For those with dry skin, I highly recommend considering a hydrating base like Guerlain L'Or, Etude Glow On, It's Skin base, or this product. They're game-changers!

Even though I usually struggle with dead skin cells no matter what I apply, this base makes my foundation go on incredibly smoothly. It also gives my skin a hydrated, healthy-looking effect.
ConsThe shimmer particles are a bit large, so you need to blend it well when applying. It can pill a bit if you apply sunscreen, so make sure to let it absorb fully before use. Other than that, I don't have any other complaints.

Now I love it! With this alone, I can even apply Double Wear foundation directly. It provides a lightweight hydration that doesn't feel heavy and absorbs quickly, making it great for oily skin too. It doesn't break down messily, so I'm very satisfied.
ConsThere are a few gold shimmer particles that are a bit too large... After applying makeup, I end up having to remove a couple of them.
TipI apply in this order: primer, sunscreen, then this Gold Collagen Base, followed by patting on foundation.
