I mix a drop with my cream when applying, and the hydration is remarkable. Especially in the evening, I used to need additional products after my skincare routine, but with this oil, my skin feels great until morning. It doesn't feel like you're applying an oil at all. There's no greasy residue. With other oils, I sometimes got small bumps, but this one keeps my skin comfortable and blemish-free. I particularly love how quickly it absorbs. There's no notable scent, and the container is lightweight and convenient since it's not glass.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about it. Twenty characters is too short to express that!
TipTry mixing it with your moisturizer if it lacks richness.

The dropper makes it easy to control the amount - I used 4 drops in the evening and 2-3 drops in the morning. My skin looks hydrated, and I'm thrilled that the deep dryness is gone. Especially in the morning, using 2-3 drops before applying base makeup gives me that coveted Inner Glow look. It's not too oily, more like a middle ground between an oil and an essence? I think people new to oils would find this easy to use without any hesitation.
ConsIt claims to help with dead skin cells, which made me wonder, 'How does it actually do that?' I was curious about how it would remove dead skin, but that's not quite it. The oil seems to 'calm' the dead skin cells. Because the oil makes the skin smooth, it temporarily masks the appearance of flaky skin around the mouth and chin areas. So it's more of a temporary smoothing effect rather than actual dead skin cell care. I'd suggest continuing with your regular exfoliation routine, but this oil would be great to use when your skin feels dry and rough.
TipSince it's an oil, using too much might make it sit on top of your skin, so adjust the amount as needed. For reference, I found 4 drops in the evening and 2-3 drops in the morning as the last step before base makeup worked well for me.

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 Testers. This product falls into a category I really like. It's free from irritating ingredients and fragrances, and provides powerful hydration. On top of that, I appreciated the less crucial aspects too, like how it absorbs, its feel, and the container design. The white, transparent container design is particularly great as it allows you to easily check the product's hygiene condition. Compared to other oils, it has a lower viscosity and flows like water. I'm not sure if this indicates smaller particles, but in any case, it didn't clog my pores or cause blemishes on my combination dehydrated skin. In fact, it provided enough moisture to dissolve dead skin cells, so I think even those with acne-prone oily skin could use it occasionally.
ConsThe volume and price are a bit burdensome. While it's not more expensive than other oils or ampoules, it's not something you can use liberally. I've seen other reviews praising its absorption, but I've always been skeptical about how an oil can be absorbed. I've always thought that oils work by preventing evaporation of oil and moisture and increasing surface hydration. From my experience, it didn't feel like the oil was being absorbed. While the active ingredients in the oil might penetrate the skin, I don't think the oil itself enters the skin tissue to provide hydration. I was satisfied with the replenishment of oil and moisture on the skin's surface.
TipI think there would be a synergistic effect if you use this after thoroughly addressing deep dryness with 7 toners or 3 ampoules. The dropper bottle is hygienic, making it easy to mix with other skincare products. When I mixed it with a body emulsion that felt too light, it significantly reduced dryness.

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.ProsAs someone with combination dehydrated and sensitive skin, I'm usually very cautious when choosing skincare products. This oil I was lucky enough to try really hit the mark - it provided great hydration and suited my sensitive skin perfectly! The texture is just right, not too slippery, and it absorbs surprisingly well. I found that applying a generous layer of moisturizer followed by about 3 drops of this oil, gently patted in, helps maintain hydration for a long time. It's not too heavy for winter use and does a great job of keeping my skin moisturized. The quantity seems sufficient to last through winter and into early spring. Personally, it worked well with my sensitive skin without causing any blemishes. While it may not have a strong calming effect, it seemed to strengthen my skin. I'd recommend this for those who dislike both overly thin and sticky oils - it strikes a perfect balance. It's especially great for people like me with combination dehydrated skin!
ConsWhile there weren't any major downsides, it's worth noting that due to its nature as an oil, even though it's relatively light, it can leave a slightly slick feeling on your palms if you rub it between them to apply. It's less greasy than typical oils, but it's not an ultra-light, quick-absorbing formula. Nevertheless, I appreciated that it still provided that satisfying oil application experience.
TipFor best results, start with your toner and basic skincare routine, then apply an appropriate amount of moisturizer and pat it in to absorb. Follow up with about 3 drops of this oil, allowing it to sink in. This method helps maintain hydration and gives your skin a dewy glow the next day. When you apply makeup, you'll notice that Inner Glow too! You'll understand why people use facial oils and think, 'Ah, so this is why!'

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 oil worked really well even for my oily skin. I usually avoid oils because they don't suit me, but this product seemed to solve my deep dryness issues without causing an oil explosion later. I'm definitely considering repurchasing! It didn't cause any blemishes, and my makeup didn't separate, making it convenient to use. Plus, it felt like it coated my face without being sticky, so I could apply it comfortably morning and night. Three-point summary: 1. Lightweight 2. Doesn't interfere with makeup 3. Great for oily skin
ConsAs many others have mentioned, the price point is a bit steep. The quantity isn't particularly generous either. You need to apply a generous amount to get that skin-coating effect, otherwise it feels insufficient. Personally, I'd still recommend this oil for those with oily skin as it's truly excellent. Three-point summary: 1. Expensive 2. Not enough product 3. No other significant downsides
TipWhile it's not exactly a pro tip, I used to only apply oil products at night. However, this product can be applied in the morning without feeling sticky, and my makeup never separated. It's perfect for those with oily skin who struggle with makeup separation!

After using this for over two weeks, I noticed that when I applied the oil before makeup, there was absolutely no dryness! No flaking at all. Plus, the packaging design and fragrance were both excellent! Despite my super sensitive skin, I experienced no blemishes.
ConsGiven its price point, it might be difficult to purchase casually. Also, as my T-zone tends to get particularly oily over time, I found it less than ideal when it became too greasy in those areas.
TipI recommend applying it lightly, as it provides sufficient hydration without needing to layer on too much skincare.

Truly no scent at all - The gentle ingredients make it trustworthy and safe to use - Although it's an oil, it's not too heavy, so it doesn't feel burdensome - The hydration lasts for a long time
ConsSince it's not an overly rich face oil, it might be slightly disappointing for those with very dry skin.
TipHighly recommended for acne-prone, combination, or oily skin types. For those with dry skin, a richer oil might be more suitable.

But after getting pregnant, my skin became prone to dryness. I heard great things about this product's ingredients, so I gave it a try. Surprisingly, it's not sticky at all, even for oily skin types. Usually, oils cause blemishes for me, but this didn't. My dry-skinned husband loves it too - he applies it generously every night. It's really helped reduce areas of flakiness.
ConsBeing an oil, it can still feel a bit heavy for daily use on oily skin. Also, it doesn't absorb as quickly as I'd like.
TipIt works wonders for the dry, flaky skin around the mouth area. Applying a generous amount before bed in winter is especially beneficial.

I've been using this product consistently for about a week, both on its own and mixed with makeup products. ✔️Skin type: Combination, occasional blemishes, deep dryness ✔️Scent: I loved that it's fragrance-free. I'm sensitive to scents, and even when products claim to have 'natural oils' or other 'beneficial ingredients', strong fragrances make it hard for me to use them regularly. This product was great because it has no scent. ✔️Hydration: Compared to the Nuxe oil I was using before, this product's hydration level is slightly lower, but it's much lighter on the skin. For those with deep dryness like me, you might need to layer this with other products for sufficient hydration. ✔️Texture: It has a fluid oil texture. Warm it between your hands and apply it to your face with the added heat for better absorption. ✔️Irritation level: It's so gentle that I even shared it with my elementary school-aged sibling. Definitely a low-irritation product. Mixed use with other products: ✔️Estée Lauder Foundation: This foundation is very drying, so I thought mixing it with the oil would work well. However, since I have combination skin, be careful! Using more than a drop or two can take you from a healthy glow to an oil slick.
ConsI'm usually too lazy to apply multiple products and relied on oil alone for hydration, but this product's hydration level is a bit low for that. It's slightly insufficient on its own, but it works well when used with other products to complement each other.
TipWhen using with foundation for dry skin, really just use a drop or two! A ratio of about 3 parts foundation to 1 part oil should work well. This will eliminate deep dryness and prevent dead skin cells from being accentuated, allowing for smooth application.

My face gets oily quickly after eating greasy food, so I try to avoid pore-clogging ingredients like shea butter. My usual skincare routine: 1. TheLab by blanc doux Oligo Hyaluronic Acid Toner 2. Etude Soon Jung 10-Free Moist Emulsion 3. Madagascar Moisture Cream I use many products to hydrate my skin deeply due to severe dryness. As the seasons change, I realized I needed to focus on moisturizing, so I was looking for a face oil when I got the chance to try this product! * Fresh finish I thought it might be a bit heavy since it's an oil, but it absorbs surprisingly quickly and leaves a soft, matte finish! After applying moisturizer, I put a drop on my palm, rub my hands together, and press it onto my face. It absorbs rapidly this way! * Clean design While I don't usually pay much attention to packaging, even good skincare products can be off-putting if the design is unappealing. This product, however, has a clean, neutral design that I think most people would find agreeable.
ConsAlthough I haven't used it for long, this product hasn't caused any blemishes. If you're worried that face oil will clog your pores and cause breakouts on oily skin, you can put those concerns to rest. * Some people have the same concern as me Since the oil is used last in the routine, the dropper cap can get a bit slippery. * The price is steep I received this product for free as a Hwahae Tester, but looking at the price, I might hesitate to purchase it myself. + I'm not sure if I'll repurchase yet! I'm new to face oils and want to try others, plus the price is a bit high. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars!
TipSince squalane is an occlusive ingredient, people with very oily skin might find it a bit heavy. I recommend using just one drop. If you're worried it might be too heavy, try mixing a drop with a hydrating (not moisturizing) cream for a balanced application.
