  Pros

  I bought this from iHerb during a sale because it was affordable. It's unscented and the ingredients are generally fine (I personally don't have much concern about phenoxyethanol). However, it does contain sorbitol, which can potentially cause allergic reactions. Luckily, I didn't experience any issues. It forms a bit of a film, so it's moisturizing, but it's still lacking for me in the fall and winter, so I mix it with an oil and apply it. I think this would be good for men or oily skin types in the summer. The green tea extract is said to be antioxidant and good for acne, but this is more of a lightweight moisturizer to mix and apply lightly, rather than a highly concentrated product. It didn't pill under sunscreen or base makeup.

  Cons

  I didn't realize it at the time, but after checking Hwahae, I think the formula could be improved. The volume is on the smaller side, and the airless pump packaging means the phenoxyethanol preservative could potentially be replaced. As for the sorbitol, I was fine with it, but it may be something to watch out for if you have allergies. Additional note as I'm finishing the product: I'd like to buy another, but it's only available through direct iHerb orders. When I can't find anything else on iHerb to reach the free shipping minimum of $40, I end up impulse-buying random things just to place an order. I'll probably add it in when I restock on supplements later. For now, I'm looking for an alternative lotion.

  Tip

  I've been mixing this with a face oil rich in linoleic acid, morning and night. It hasn't caused any breakouts and has worked well for me.
