The ingredients... the ingredients... are quite shocking..

It's sad that it's been discontinued, but it's a product I always use before makeup in the summer!
I highly recommend it, especially for those with oily skin!
It keeps you moisturized without making you too greasy.

There wasn't really anything disappointing, but the reviews say the ingredients aren't great.

I enjoyed how light and comfortable it felt to use in the summer.

In the summer, there is a slight stickiness, which makes it a bit unsatisfactory to use in a refreshing way.

When the skin is dry, it applies smoothly and evenly, almost like a facial mask, and there is a slight alcoholic feeling that provides a sense of care for the skin.

But I didn't know the ingredients were this harmful....

I bought and tried the product since I heard it balances oil and moisture well, and it's been alright.
I've been hoarding and using it since 2018.

Hmm...I don't recommend this. If you buy a different product, I think you'll be better off.

I have a combination of oily, dry, and combination skin types...but despite that, this product only has moisture, so it evaporates like alcohol and just whooshes away. After washing my face, my skin feels taut, like it's being pulled. And when my skin is even a little bit irritated, my face gets red and painful, stinging. A friend gifted this to me, and I've been using it, but after checking the ingredients, I'm going to stop using it now - it really hurts. I don't recommend this.

Hmm...if I had to pick one, it would be that it's only moisturizing, so I would highly recommend it to you power oily-skinned folks! 🌟

The disappointing part is that after applying it and going to sleep, my face is covered in grease...

The good thing is... well, it's just that I feel like my acne is starting to come up a little?

In the summer, I can apply it right after toner and even sleep with it without any issues.

The downside is that when I first came to Hwahae, there seemed to be too many caution ingredients. But it's fine for me since I can usually tolerate most cosmetics well.

I purchased it as it seemed suitable for light use during the summer.
It has a refreshing feel, and I've been using it well so far. 
It has good moisture content, which I like.
The price-to-performance ratio is also good. I bought it specifically for summer use, and it seems just right.

I recommend this on days when your skin seems oily.
Alternating between this and the moisturizing cream can help balance your skin.

However, since it's a gel, there's a feeling of something floating on the surface of the face (a bit different from the cream clogging), and if I used only this without the moisturizing cream, it seemed like the balance of my face was disrupted. It seems to only provide moisture, not oil and moisture together.
When I just used the purifying + moisture gel as a basic routine, there were days when my makeup went on well, and days when my face cracked, so it seems that careful usage is necessary. As soon as the weather gets a bit dry, I can't use this anymore as my face gets dry and feels like it's floating on the surface.

In the hot summer, this was a good friend to me who suffered from cream clogging when applied incorrectly.
It was sometimes good to use as a substitute for moisturizing cream.
If I felt the cream clogging, I would use this for a while, then switch back to the moisturizing cream when my skin got dry, which helped me achieve a more resilient skin that was less affected by the environment.

The ingredients are... not that gentle, so I always worried about potential breakouts and only applied a small amount.

Last summer was so unbearably hot that just applying a skin toner felt drying, and using a heavy cream felt too heavy. I was wondering what to use when I saw great reviews for this product in a magazine. 
The product contains sebum-controlling ingredients, so I thought it would be suitable for the oily summer months. I also liked that it's in a tube format, which allows for hygienic application. The 40ml size is perfect for using up quickly during the peak of summer.

The amount is small compared to the price, and I didn't know it would run out quickly - the ingredients are not very good.

Using cosmetics incorrectly can cause severe acne or skin troubles, but I've been using it for several bottles and I'm quite satisfied.

I bought this product because it was marketed as acne-targeted, but as soon as I applied it to my face, it felt very irritating...It stung and burned, and even though it's supposed to be for blemishes, I developed more breakouts after using it for 2 weeks, so I had to stop using it.

It's definitely moisturizing - extremely moisturizing, in fact.
My skin is combination-oily, but it absorbs the product well without leaving a greasy residue. There's also no pilling effect.
