Unfortunately, this product contains many questionable ingredients. I bought it after seeing it on a home shopping channel, where they raved about this Swiss product. However, it didn't work well for me. While it didn't cause any specific blemishes, it's an overpriced product with no remarkable effects. I'd recommend the Hometa Gold Serum over this one.

I love how the lightweight formula absorbs quickly without feeling sticky.

It seems to only provide moisture. I don't notice any help with skin soothing or calming effects.

A product that delivers deep hydration for dry skin! It absorbs well without feeling sticky, and leaves a pleasantly moisturized finish. When applied before cream, it feels like it's providing hydration to the deepest layers of the skin.

With all the layering, I go through it quickly. Wish there was a larger size available...

Layering it multiple times makes your face sparkle and locks in hydration!

Apply twice to the face before bed, followed by a moisturizer. This routine helps maintain hydration until the next morning.

Without any other beauty tools, it's enough to just apply about 4 drops to your face after using skin toner or toner and let it absorb.

When using a product, there's usually something to critique, but honestly, I can't find anything to complain about. The price in Korea isn't just disappointing, it's downright uncomfortable, but I doubt many people are paying full price for this product.

My skin? One wrong product and my entire face turns red and breaks out. I live with constant redness all year round, 365 days a season. That's why I always rely on Hwahae. For some reason, I bought this product before checking the ingredients list. It had an unprecedented number of caution ingredients, but I decided to try it anyway with a foolish yet brave heart.

On the first day, as I opened the cap, the pleasant scent actually made me uneasy. I knew fragrances weren't exactly best friends with my skin. After using toner, I applied about 4 drops to my moon-sized face. To my surprise, from the moment it touched my skin until absorption, it adhered so quickly I could barely gauge the time. My skin immediately regained its vitality. Though my skin felt sufficient without anything else, I applied just a light cream before bed.

By the third day, I realized those caution ingredients were truly just that - cautions. I've never encountered a product that suits me this well in my entire life, and I'm certain I'll continue to use it religiously.

I'm not sure if it was incompatible with my skin, but four large, painful pimples appeared all at once. As soon as I stopped using it, my skin started to improve. I'm worried these blemishes might leave scars.

I couldn't experience any benefits as I had to stop using the product shortly after starting due to blemishes appearing.

The only downside is that it absorbs so quickly, you need to apply quite a generous amount.

As someone with extremely dry skin, I noticed a huge improvement after using just one bottle. My freckles have also noticeably faded!

When my skin feels particularly dehydrated, I apply it several times.

The serum has a yellow tint, which leaves a noticeable yellow cast on the skin. When I wipe it off with a cleansing tissue, I can see the yellow residue...

It absorbs quickly and doesn't feel heavy even when layered multiple times. Unlike other serums that left my skin feeling dry deep down, this one gives a sensation of hydration right to the core.

Try layering it twice before applying your moisturizer!

The results are only noticeable if you assume consistent, long-term use.

The hydration was fantastic, and I noticed my skin gradually becoming more elastic.

I strongly recommend using it with another essence. It's advisable to pair it with a different essence.

It's expensive and the quantity is small. While it absorbs well when applied, the skin continues to feel tight.

It absorbs well, but there's some tightness. For dry skin, I recommend using it with another essence.

I bought this from a home shopping channel, but the collagen cream I received with it seems to work better. When I feel a tingling or burning sensation after applying the serum, I use the cream and it seems to calm my skin quickly.

It's probably best to avoid using this on areas with blemishes as it causes a burning sensation and feels quite irritating.

The absorption and application seem decent. I have dry skin with atopic dermatitis, and only the area around my mouth tends to get very flaky and red. It works fine on areas without issues.

First off, the ingredients are harsh. If I had known beforehand, I wouldn't have bought it. I purchased it expecting the results promised on home shopping channels, but I regret it now. Initially, it absorbs well and seems fine, but soon after, it causes a tingling and itching sensation. Switching to another product helps. As someone with previously blemish-prone and super sensitive skin, it doesn't seem to suit me. I have no intention of repurchasing.

The quick absorption is a plus. While it's marketed on home shopping channels as having a tightening effect, it really just seems to address deep dryness.
