There are many reviews saying it feels heavy, but I personally prefer to mix oils with serums or creams rather than using them alone, so I didn't find it to be overly heavy. My skin is quite sensitive and I occasionally get blemishes, but this product seems to be good for soothing and creating a radiant complexion.
ConsSome may find the fragrance-free aspect to be lacking, but personally, as someone with sensitive skin, I'm not a big fan of the scent.

It has a nice, chewy texture. It absorbs well, but even after application, there's a subtle glow that remains, not a dry finish. My skin looks smooth and beautiful. Haha, even in the summer, my dry and dehydrated skin feels moisturized, though not overly so. But with consistent use, I think it will be great! The ingredients also seem good, so that's nice. I'm not sensitive, but I tried a sample first and I'm really satisfied with the purchase! Check the special sets carefully when buying - you can find them cheaper online, and some stores even sell the sets in-store at much lower prices. The eye cream set even comes with two full-size products.
ConsI haven't encountered any issues yet, but I'll have to keep using it to know for sure. Haha.
TipI apply it after using a moisture ampoule. Using it with facial oil or a modeling mask makes my skin even more hydrated.

I've tried other face oils, but none have been as effective as this one. If you apply it once in the morning and once in the evening, your face will start to glow and shine a few weeks later.
ConsI've tried a lot of other face oils, but since I already have some redness, they don't seem to control the dryness as much. But I didn't have high expectations since I've heard that redness needs to be treated to improve. Still, the black tea oil has been the best for hydration. Apart from that, there's really nothing else I'm unhappy with.
TipI used to live in the US, and personally, I don't recommend mixing foundation and oils. I got sunburned because the sun was too strong. I just mix creams or lotions, whether in the morning or evening. At night, I put a layer of Vaseline on top before bed, and my face feels moisturized the next day.

The moisturizing effect is good and the absorption is fast, which I liked. Even though it's an oil, it doesn't feel overly sticky. It contains a lot of black cumin seed oil, which is said to help with antioxidation, which is good. After applying, my skin looks radiant and lively with a subtle glow. The mild black tea scent is not overbearing and I like it.
ConsSince it's a lightweight oil, it may not be enough for those with severely dry skin. But for me, it's a product I really like and will repurchase.
TipIn the middle of winter, I mixed it with my BB cream or foundation, and the dullness was almost gone. I highly recommend it. The base doesn't get cakey.

I've been hearing a lot of people say that my skin has improved after using it. My skin is already pretty good, but since I'm often outdoors, I've developed some fine lines. I heard that products with antioxidants are good for youthful skin, so I bought this line of skincare. I'm glad to hear that my skin has been looking better lately. The Tonymoly Cell Toning cream is a bit pricey, but I've been using it and it's really glowing.
ConsI use this really well, but the only problem is that if I apply it too generously at night, it can cause a disaster in the morning with my bangs getting stuck.
TipOn days when my bangs aren't an issue, I really slather this on generously. These days, I also apply it a lot to my dry legs and heels. If I think it's a waste, I can't bring myself to use it, but I just tell myself that I'm spending money on myself, and that's why my skin has been improving so much. Especially when doing face masks, if you add a few drops of this oil, you'll be really satisfied with the moisturizing effect. Haha.

But this oil is actually absorbed much better than other oils!! It's the best oil I've used so far. It gets absorbed quickly, and when I put a drop or two on my cheeks, my skin looks so radiant the next day. Even in the summer, when I don't usually use oils, this one gets absorbed well without leaving a greasy feeling. I highly recommend it.
ConsHmm... the dropper is a bit short, so it's hard to get the last bit out. That's a bit disappointing.

It has a lot of oil content, so my skin glows beautifully after makeup application.
ConsI don't have any particular complaints. You can buy it a little cheaper from the sales staff.
TipTry mixing a drop or two into your nourishing cream and applying it.

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 was unexpectedly selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer event and received the Tony Moly Black Tea Oil. When massaged, it quickly absorbs into the skin and seems to add a subtle radiance, giving the skin a healthy glow. Even a small amount can provide an overall luminous effect. It contains natural plant-based oils that do not clog pores, so even those with oily skin can use it. There is no heavy or clogged pore feeling, and it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. Despite being highly concentrated, it applies lightly and comfortably. I highly recommend this, especially during the seasonal changes. The scent is a gentle black tea fragrance that is not overbearing.
ConsIt contains fermented black yeast extract, and the ingredients are rated green on the EWG scale, so it should work gently even for sensitive skin. I haven't experienced any troubles or complaints yet.
TipYou can mix it with your skincare products. Using it as the final moisturizing barrier, mixed with a cream, will help the hydration last longer. In seasons with a lot of peeling, applying it to areas like the heels can make them much softer and more moisturized. When applying makeup, mixing it with your foundation can help keep the base looking dewy and adhered to the skin. This will prevent the base from appearing dry and flaky, especially in the cold winter weather.

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.Pros🌸Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review🌸 I have combination (slightly sensitive) skin. 1 It is a brown bottle: The brown bottle blocks light and prevents oxidation. 2 It is not a heavy oil: If the oil is too heavy, it takes a long time to absorb and leaves an oily appearance on the face, but this non-heavy oil absorbs quickly and provides just the right amount of glow. 3 It does not cause breakouts on sensitive skin: This applies to my skin. Despite having slightly sensitive skin, I did not experience any breakouts or worsening of skin issues. 4 My skin texture has improved: During the Hwahae Trial period, I only used the Black Tea line, and I noticed my skin texture improving day by day. 5 It's great for creating a natural glow when applying makeup: After completing my skincare routine, I apply two drops of the oil on my palms, gently spread it, and then apply it to my face, creating an oil layer. After some absorption, I proceed with makeup application, which helps achieve a natural glow (Note: If you mix the oil directly into your base product, it will start to darken the base. Please follow the method mentioned above). 6 It's good for smoothing out flakiness during touch-ups: Literally, when doing touch-ups outdoors in the winter, I spray a mist mixed with the Black Tea oil or apply the oil directly, and it helps to smooth out any flakiness.
Cons1 The surface of the bottle is very slippery, like glass, so when I touch the bottle with my hands that have leftover product from previous skincare, it tends to slip (this is something I can be more careful about). 2 My sister has combination skin and dislikes the feeling of heaviness, and she said the oil felt too heavy for her (she usually only uses toner). 3 While the absorption is quick, the oil film formed disappears quickly as well: Over time, I feel like the drier areas of my cheeks start to feel dry again. It may be a bit too lightweight for using in the middle of winter. 4 It has a dropper-style applicator, but during the process of inserting and removing the dropper, the oil sometimes gets left on the bottle opening or occasionally overflows outside the cap.
Tip🌸During the Hwahae Trial period, I only used the existing Black Tea line for my skincare routine. 💝After cleansing After cleansing, I gently pat my face to absorb the remaining moisture, without completely removing it. Then, I pump the Black Tea serum once and evenly apply it all over my face, allowing it to absorb. Next, I pump the Black Tea toner once and apply it evenly on my face, patting it in until it's fully absorbed. I repeat this step twice to ensure proper absorption. I then pump the Black Tea lotion once, apply it to my face, and pat it in until absorbed. I repeat this step twice. Lastly, I pump the Black Tea serum once, add two drops of the oil, blend them together, and apply the mixture evenly over my face. 💝For makeup application After the final step of my skincare routine, with the products well-absorbed (during which time I styled my hair), I apply my base makeup. However, if I were to mix the oil directly into the base product, it would start to darken the foundation, causing my 21-shade base to become more like a 25-shade. For touch-ups, I take a small piece of cotton and spray my preferred mist on it, then add 2-3 drops of the oil. I use this to gently remove and reapply my makeup. By spraying the mist and applying a thin layer of oil on the removed areas, I can avoid any flakiness during the touch-up process. The oil also works great for smoothing out any thin, hardened skin on the apples of my cheeks caused by friction. Applying the oil to dry, peeled cuticles and gently massaging it in creates an oil barrier that helps prevent the worsening of hangnails around my nails. Finally, a light application of the oil on the flyaway ends of my hair helps tame the frizz a bit.

Suitable Oil Texture Not too burdensome to use as a face oil, with a moderate oil texture. 2. Perfect Match with Foundation Mixed a drop into my neglected dry foundation, and it became a dewy, glowing foundation. 3. Refreshing Feeling Some face oils can leave a sticky, dusty residue, but this product did not have that issue.
Cons1. Fragrance Personally, I'm not a fan of the fragrance. 2. Burdensome to Use All Over the Face Recommend mixing it into foundation or moisturizer. 3. Pilling Issue Test it with your other skincare and makeup products beforehand. I applied it, then sunscreen, and it pilled up, so I had to exfoliate my face.
TipTest how it wears with the other products you use, and mix it into your foundation or moisturizer for best results.
