It's really great for hydration. I have very dry skin, and in the winter, when I mix it with a cream, it applies smoothly and immediately nourishes my skin. 2. The texture: It's not a formula that absorbs right away, but it's not one that just sits on the surface either. In the winter or on dry days, I can use this product lightly and still be able to apply makeup on top. 3. I didn't notice it when using, but my partner said they could smell something like a pencil or a nutty scent from my forehead. But I couldn't really detect it myself, so it's not a major issue!
ConsSince it's in a squeeze tube, adjusting the amount can be less convenient than a dropper bottle. And I bought it overseas, so it wasn't as expensive as it is here in Korea - it's really pricey here :(
TipTry mixing it with other products in the winter! It surprisingly pairs well with other formulas!

They said my skin barrier had been compromised, and advised me to focus on moisturizing. I purchased some Hohouba oil, as I heard it's good for oily skin with dehydration issues. This oil is wonderful! I apply it morning and night, and my skin doesn't get red, itchy, or irritated at all. It's so nourishing and hydrating. Especially since the Melvita brand is organic, I'll be using this throughout the winter. Haha.
ConsThe dispenser is quite unusual. I thought it was a pump, so I bought it without much thought, but there's a big hole in it. If I tilt my hand, the oil drips out drop by drop. The oil gets all over the opening, which seems unhygienic. I wipe the opening each time I use it, but it's inconvenient.
TipAfter using the ampoule in the morning and evening, I apply a drop of the oil to my face and gently press it in. This keeps my skin hydrated all day long.

I only used a soothing skin lotion that didn't cause any trouble, but I always felt a tightness. When I was in Korea, I bought and tried many famous and gentle products, but they ended up irritating my skin, and I had to visit a dermatologist. My skin is on the darker side and lacks redness. I always have something on my forehead and around my philtrum. After makeup, my T-zone gets oily in the afternoon, and my skin tends to be slightly dry. This has been the case throughout my 20s, no matter where I lived. I've known that oil-based and whitening products don't suit me since I was in Korea. Applying oil-based products makes my skin itchy, and using face masks always leads to breakouts. When I moved to Japan, new types of blemishes started appearing, so I decided to look into the topic of skin barrier. After that, I switched to the Etude House Soonjung 6.5 foam cleanser and changed my shampoo and body wash to mildly acidic ones. I also immediately purchased this Hohouba oil from Amazon and tried it. It's amazing - just by changing the cleanser, my skin feels more comfortable. Now, I don't need to apply many products, and the Soonjung skin and Hohouba oil are sufficient for my summer hydration. My nose no longer gets oily, regardless of whether I wear makeup or not. This is truly incredible... I think this is what they call a good oil-water balance. I no longer need sebum control products... In the winter, I plan to mix the oil with my lotion or cream. This is the first time I've felt this comfortable with my skin... I hope this continues for the rest of my life.
ConsIt seems to cost around 2,000 yen on the Japanese Amazon, but according to the Hwahae app, it's in the 40,000 won range, which seems quite expensive. However, I'll probably use it for a long time since I only use a few drops per day... I'll have to see how it goes through the winter. The opening leaks a bit every time I tilt the bottle, but I've been wiping it and applying it to my lips. Anyway, since it's an oil, the cap is also slippery, and it can be a bit of a hassle at times. I tried massaging my scalp with it before shampooing, but massaging with just the oil isn't as easy as I thought, and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. The problem is that after using it, my hair got matted when I used a slightly acidic shampoo, so I had to shampoo twice.
Tip(It's not a pump or dropper type from Japanese Amazon, but one with a slightly longer opening at the entrance, and a type that drips out a little when you tilt the bottle) First day: I rubbed a small amount of the existing moisturizing skin without any special ingredients, with a drop of jojoba, into my hands and patted it in to absorb it. It was moisturizing and didn't feel tight, so I finished my skincare routine. Next day: Since there was no reaction, I've been doing that process once or twice in one go since then. On the third or fourth day, a pimple appeared on my cheek, and it disappeared again after another three or four days. After that, there have been no issues. I've been using it well for over 3 weeks. If you tend to get oily in the T-zone, it might be good to apply an extra layer in that area during your skincare routine. I've never applied the oil directly to my face, so I'm not sure about that. But if you have dry skin, it might be worth trying.

I've applied the oil first and then mixed it into the cream, and both methods worked well. My face doesn't feel oily either. Even those with oily skin should be able to use this product comfortably as it has sufficient oil content but doesn't make the face feel greasy.
ConsEverything else is good, but the packaging is inconvenient. I didn't notice it at first, but as the product level goes down, you can't use it unless you tilt the container in the direction of the dropper. When you tilt it and pump, it sprays out too much.

It's also good for oily skin. It regulates sebum and is quite nice.
ConsThe packaging was a bit inconvenient. It seems to be due to the nature of the oil.

Blackheads I bought and used the Hohobanut oil, as it is said to be good for improving blackheads and whiteheads. Even though the direct import delivery took a long time, after using it for about 13 days, I can definitely see improvements in my blackheads!! My face was full of blackheads, but some have already disappeared, and I can even see the spots where they used to be. If I keep using it, I think I'll be able to completely get rid of the blackheads. 2. Moisturizing Since it's an oil, it definitely helps with moisturizing. 3. Sebum control? I used to always have an oil explosion, especially in the T-zone area, even after applying powder. But after using this, the time it takes for the oil to come back up and the amount of oil have significantly decreased. The T-zone area stays matte all day even after powdering.
Cons1. Whiteheads It said it's also good for whiteheads, so I focused on applying it to my nose, but I applied it to my whole face as well. However, it seems like there was too much oil around my under-eye area, and I ended up developing some new small bumps there. So now I'm hesitant to apply it to my whole face, but the difference in skin texture between the areas I applied it to and didn't is quite noticeable, so I'm still using it. I don't really feel like the whiteheads have improved a lot. I might need to use it for longer. I wonder if it's because I didn't do enough massaging, so I've been massaging my whole face with the oil as well. 2. Dosage control Even though I only wanted to use it on my nose, since it's a pump bottle, I end up using it on my whole face. That's why I apply it to my entire face.
TipI've been just rolling it on the nose area, but since the effect was good, I'm now just slathering it all over my face without massaging. I want to get rid of the small bumps on my face.

It's even better if you apply it to dry areas around the eyes or lips.
ConsIt works really well for me. I think it's good for combination or oily skin types.

In the evening, I mix a drop into my skincare cream and apply it, and when my skin is dry, I use the oil alone. It's great for my hair too, and I alternate using it with argan oil, which has improved my skin texture and tone. This is an essential oil for the winter!
ConsI wish it came in a smaller, portable roll-on size.
TipAfter steaming a towel and pressing it around your nose, squeeze out some hohooba oil and massage it into the nose and chin area. Hohooba oil has a composition very similar to human sebum, so regular use can help dissolve excess oil.
