To summarize, it's excellent for calming acne and redness. It's gentle yet lightweight, so I recommend it for those who need acne treatment or skin soothing, and for those with oily skin who find rich products burdensome. I'll provide more details below. My skin type is combination-dry, oily in very hot summers but otherwise dry, almost to the point of being considered dry skin. It's also super sensitive - even acne patches can cause allergic reactions, making it worse. Fortunately, I've found suitable toners and creams, so I currently don't have acne, only experiencing allergic reactions when I'm sick. Recently, after eyelid surgery, I had an allergic reaction on one side of my face due to the tape used to secure the gauze. Luckily, I won this product through The Hwahae Testers, and after using it for just 3 days, the allergic reaction completely disappeared. I'm now working on fading the remaining marks. The packaging features a dropper, which is convenient for controlling the amount used as it wipes off excess serum at the opening. It has a herbal scent, similar to Uhwangchungsim-won. Those who dislike herbal scents should take note. The color is a slightly pinkish, opaque hue, like a pink pearl. One drop on each cheek and forehead is sufficient for full coverage. While I find this amount generous, some users prefer using more, so keep that in mind if you feel it's not enough. The texture is viscous enough not to drip when tilted in your hand, but it's not sticky and feels moisturizing when applied. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave an oily residue. As I have dry skin, I applied an additional layer of cream before bed. The soothing effect is remarkable. Upon application, you can feel the heat dissipating, redness disappearing, and skin calming down. I noticed these effects within 3 days. Rather than a cooling sensation, it feels like it gently absorbs while eliminating heat. I haven't seen any whitening effects yet. My skin just seems clearer due to increased hydration and nourishment. I prefer clear skin over pale, patchy skin, so I'm satisfied. The clarity was visibly noticeable after about a week of use. Initially, it felt very hydrating but lacked enough oil to maintain that hydration. For those with dry skin like mine, using this alone wasn't enough, but it seemed perfect for oily skin types. After 4 days, I heard it becomes more hydrating with continued use, so I tried using only this for 3 days. However, my blemishes, which had been disappearing, reappeared. It seems I still need more oil. (I tend to get blemishes when my skin is dry.) However, since this product is said to help with waste removal, it might be part of the purging process. I'll update after a month of use. After a week of use, my skin became softer. It was already soft before, but had become rough after the eyelid surgery. Now it's soft again. The photos show before use, after 3 days, and after 1 week. In the 3-day photo, you can still see some redness and slight blemishes, but it's clear how much calmer the skin is after just 3 days. The 1-week photo shows some new blemishes, but overall, the skin looks clearer. Looking at the photos, I notice that the blackhead-like sebum in my pores seems to have reduced slightly. I wonder if this is due to the product? That's great!
ConsI prefer products with a bit more slip, so I wish it maintained hydration for longer. However, considering its excellent soothing effects, it's perfect as a calming product rather than a hydrating one. As I'm nearing the end of the product, I'm noticing more drawbacks. After about a month of use, the product at the opening turns pink and solidifies. Also, even though there's still product left, it's hard to get it out with the dropper. The packaging makes it difficult to see how much is left and the shape isn't ideal for using with a dropper. If it were less curved and more jar-like, it would be easier to use with the dropper. The narrow opening and wide bottom make it inconvenient.
TipAfter applying it all over your face, you can add an extra half-drop to areas that need more soothing for enhanced effects. It seems like it would be great for summer use due to its lightweight texture.
