It seems to lock in moisture and protect the skin from external factors. There is no sticky residue after application, which is great.
ConsI was satisfied for the first few days, but then large pimples started appearing. It could be a purging reaction, but since I have sensitive skin, I'm a bit worried. It's ironic that even though this is a dermatological product, it seems to be burdening my skin.
TipIf the product suits your skin, it can be really great, but it may not work for everyone, so be sure to do a patch test. A single day of use is not enough, and you should try it for at least 3 days to see the results.

When applied heavily, it leaves a white cast, but it absorbs well if gently patted. You should apply the right amount for your skin condition. While it feels slippery when washing hands due to the oil content, it doesn't feel greasy or slick when applied to the face, which is nice. It just applies cleanly. It's also good that it contains brightening and anti-aging ingredients in addition to being a moisturizing product! Using it, I felt like the surface dead skin on my skin was soothed, and my skin felt incredibly smooth and supple the next day after cleansing. This cream seems like a good option for the winter. However, it doesn't fully saturate the skin inside and out, and I felt like something was missing.
ConsI applied it on a day when my skin was very irritated from being out in the wind, but contrary to its title as a moisturizing cream, it didn't have a soothing effect, and when I applied it generously, it actually caused breakouts like small bumps on my skin. I used it consistently for about two days, but since my skin condition worsened, I had to temporarily stop using it. Then, when I applied it after my skin had calmed down, it worked well and felt good. In conclusion, it's not recommended for sensitive skin! Not for oily skin either! For dry skin, well, it does moisturize, but it doesn't have that deeply hydrating feel. It's like it's just creating a surface film on the skin. I really felt it was great at first, but during use, I didn't notice major benefits, which was disappointing. I received this as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer product, and since the price is quite high, I had high expectations. But considering the price, it's not worth it. With the same amount, I'd rather buy the Innisfree Moisture Cream, which I also received as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and works much better for me. It even calms my skin when it's irritated. This product seems to have pore-clogging ingredients, so I have to use it alternately with other products.
TipDon't use it when your skin is sensitive!

Powerful moisturizing power! I applied it before bed and in the morning, and it felt comfortable all day long without any tightness. I have dry skin, and my cheeks were even cracked and bleeding due to lack of moisture and oil. Regular products tend to make my skin feel tight during the day, so I often have to reapply, but with this, I hardly had to reapply except around my mouth area after brushing my teeth. It seems to lock in moisture very well, even just using the toner twice before. 2. Soft feeling after cleansing When I cleanse my face in the morning and evening, there's a soft, smooth feeling the moment the water touches my skin... It feels supple without any stickiness or tightness. Those who have tried it will know what I mean, but it's hard to describe in words. 3. Makeup applies well. With the good moisturizing, my skin doesn't get as flaky, so my makeup doesn't cling or look uneven. I don't have to put in as much effort to touch up my makeup throughout the day. Some people have mentioned their makeup sliding off, but for me, the lack of visible flakiness allowed for a smoother makeup application. 4. No fragrance! I don't really like strong fragrances, so I appreciate that this product has almost no scent. 5. Packaging The jar design prevents the cream from getting recontaminated, which is great for hygiene. It's also easy to use up the product completely.
Cons1. Spreadability Since it's winter, my hands are often cold, and the cream didn't spread as easily or melt as well... When I warmed my hands and then applied it, it spread well, but I remember being startled when I first tried to apply it with my cold hands. Haha. 2. Feeling of heaviness With the great moisturizing, there's a thick, clogged feeling when you first apply it? Especially when the air from your nose touches the skin, it feels a bit stuffy. A strange sense of heaviness? It's better once it's absorbed, but those who dislike that heavy feeling might find it challenging. 3. Difficulty mixing with other products I usually like mixing creams, but since this has a balm-like texture, it doesn't blend in well with other products, which is a bit disappointing. 4. Strangely, I developed some breakouts along my hairline. My skin is otherwise smooth and I'm using it well, but the hairline area... I wonder why? 😢

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsThis is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer after using the product for about 10 days. Even though I am not oily-skinned, I am quite sensitive to stearic acid. Despite applying the product in a thin layer and in small amounts, the moisturizing effect was amazing. I usually have a slight tightness after applying serum, soothing gel, and then finishing with a lotion, but when I just used the serum and this cream on top, there was no tightness at all, and the moisturizing effect was incredible!! After using it for about 10 days, I could feel my skin tone becoming a bit brighter, which I really liked. I usually use the Sulwhasoo Perfecting Foundation shade 22 (764), and you could see the foundation on top, but after using this cream, the difference is barely noticeable - it's as if I didn't even apply any foundation! I used to get a lot of stress from my acne scars that took a long time to fade, but after using this, the acne traces and redness are fading much faster, even the acne that was still there. Of course, it doesn't directly treat the acne itself, but it seems to be making my skin healthier overall. Even during that time of the month when my skin tends to act up, it just passed without much trouble this time. While the acne didn't completely stop, I think the stearic acid sensitivity is the culprit. I wanted to attach some photos, but the difference isn't that visible yet, so I'll add more to this review after using it for a bit longer.
ConsFor those sensitive to stearic acid, it's best to use only a very small amount or avoid it altogether. I may have misjudged the amount a couple of times, and even just using the serum and cream, I felt it was quite heavy. The next day, I had two big, painful pimples and a lot of small bumpy acne around my chin area. The absorption also seems quite slow (or maybe it's not absorbing at all? It always feels like there's a layer on top of my skin) and the formula is quite thick and sticky, making it harder to spread compared to regular creams. The product itself is good, but the combination of so many ingredients is a bit disappointing.
TipSome others mentioned that it can be a bit heavy under makeup, but I found that applying it thinly actually gave a nice, seamless finish.

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] The packaging is shaped like a tube of ointment, which reduces contact with air and makes it easy to squeeze out, which is a style I personally like. The opening is relatively large, so you can apply just a small amount (about the size of my little fingernail) and cover your entire face. It is a rich, oily cream, so it's good to use as a final step to protect against moisture loss. Given the overall volume, the amount needed to apply seems quite substantial, so I think it will last me for a while. The oiliness doesn't disappear immediately, but after about 3 hours, it becomes less noticeable (though individual experiences may vary).
ConsMoisture As this is a highly oily cream, applying too much can lead to a breakout of small pimples. On the first day, I may have applied too much, and I ended up with bumpy pimples on my cheeks. On the second day, I reduced the amount I applied, and the pimples gradually subsided. The oiliness can also transfer to your bedding or clothes, so it's good to be mindful of that.
TipAbsolutely do not mix this with oils (even a small increase in amount can cause pimples to appear / it's great when applied in moderation). Apply a light moisturizer, let it absorb, and then apply this - your skin will be soft and supple the next day!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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- I tried it both in the morning and at night, and it was a great product to use either way! It's not heavy, but the biggest advantage was that it maintained moisture for a long time. - The ingredients are excellent. Users of the Hwahae app are really meticulous about checking the ingredients, and this product has relatively few concerning ingredients and they're positioned lower on the list, which is good in my opinion. - It has a lot of ingredients that are great for dry skin, so I didn't feel any dryness at all even when I just used the cream without a separate toner. - It's practically fragrance-free, so it feels more like I'm applying an ointment on my face.
Cons- The texture is like an ointment, so it doesn't absorb immediately. If you use too much without properly absorbing it, it can cause breakouts. I actually got some breakouts on my forehead and between my eyebrows after using it for 1-2 days. - I got it through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, but the regular price is quite high, so the cost might be a burden. - The ointment-like texture is not a familiar type, so the initial preference might be lower. - As a dry-skinned person, the texture is perfect for the dead of winter, but I think the usage frequency would decrease during other seasons.
TipIf it feels like the absorption is too slow, you can try patting a mist over the cream and then lightly coating it with a lightweight oil to really lock in the moisture and balance!

But I was amazed that when I just used this product and did my makeup in a hurry, it didn't flake off! The scent is almost unscented, and even though it's a cream formula, I thought it would be really sticky, but the moment I applied it to my face, it became so moisturizing!
ConsIt didn't sting, but I did get some small pimples. And the absorption wasn't great - it had a bit of a greasy feel. And over time, a lot of oil started coming through.

The absorption is not bad either. And when it gets very dry, if you apply it very thinly, it won't get as dry.
ConsThe excessive oiliness compared to the moisture and the price are disappointing... I used this and the oil came up too much, and acne also came up... There's also a bit of a tight feeling... Not recommended for dry acne-prone skin..
TipWhen very dry, just apply a thin layer to the dry areas!

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@This review is written by a Hwahae Trial Reviewer a little over a week after receiving the product@ As the name 'Layered Cream' suggests, it is extremely moisturizing. I've been transitioning from oily to combination skin lately, and I used to not feel any tightness on my face even in the dead of winter, but recently all parts of my face except my nose have been feeling tight. The areas around my mouth, the sides of my nose, and the center of my cheeks are the worst. So as soon as I saw the word 'Layered', I immediately applied for the Hwahae Trial. As soon as I opened it and applied it to the areas around my mouth, forehead, the center of my cheeks, and the sides of my nose, it remained moisturized and non-tight for a long time (I didn't wear any makeup all day). In short, it's an extremely moisturizing cream for winter. The design is also completely my style. The harmony of gray and pink is very nice. A lot of people look at the design when buying cosmetics, don't they...? Is it just me...? I think this product is perfectly optimized for dry skin types.
ConsIt's too heavy...... Not in terms of weight, but there's a sense of heaviness when applied on the skin. It's supposed to be used as the last step in skincare, but lately I've been just smoothing on a rich cream right after toning. The other creams get absorbed well without needing to pat it in a lot, but this one feels a bit stubborn. You really have to pat it in well to get it absorbed. Occasional small bumps come up. I don't usually wash off my makeup well before bed, and that's when I get those little bumps, but with this cream, they don't seem to go away as easily....... I wouldn't recommend this to oily skin types or those prone to small bumps.
TipI want to get this for my sister, who has extremely dry skin. ㅜ.ㅜ For oily skin, this ultra-moisturizing cream was a luxury.

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.ProsHere is the review from a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. The moisturizing aspect was truly the best. My skin had been extremely dry for a while, and no matter how carefully I applied my makeup, it would always flake off and cause a ruckus. But after using this product, my skin became silky smooth. Perhaps due to the whitening effect, my face also looked brighter the next day.
ConsDue to the highly moisturizing formula, I did experience some milia (especially around my nose area) ㅠㅠ My skin is already quite sensitive, so when I use the wrong products, I tend to break out in a lot of acne. This was kind of like an oil-producing cream for me. However, I think this cream would be amazing for those with dry skin types~
TipAs others have mentioned, if you apply this in the morning, your makeup tends to slide off... But if you use the right amount and apply it before bed, you'll wake up with a glowing complexion the next day~♥
