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.
