I purchased the set along with omega because they said it works well. I was always stressed about the flushing rather than the wrinkles, but I could feel the flushing has faded a bit. If the flushing improves, the wrinkles will likely improve as well!

As a college student, the high price is a downside for me. But if I see significant effects after about a month, I may repurchase it.

The volume seems much larger than 5ml, and I don't feel like it's lacking at all. At first, it was a gift product, and now I've repurchased it twice. The effect was good for me. People have told me that my skin looks better and that I look younger, so I've kept repurchasing because I'm so happy with it.

I wish they would increase the amount to a two-month supply and lower the price a bit. Of course, compared to the direct sales cosmetics I've used, it's very affordable, but I think it could be just a little cheaper. Or at least provide samples...

Applying it is important. Honestly, I didn't feel it was inconvenient, but for those who find the formula inconvenient, try spraying it on your hands and then applying it. It's much more comfortable. And this is a product you use once a week, so to get the desired results, this is about the right amount. Compared to other products I've used, I don't really feel much inconvenience either.

I've been using it for 2 months My face seems to have become a bit brighter I guess that's what people are telling me? The reason I repurchased is the fine lines on my forehead! The fine lines have become almost unnoticeable I saw such great results in the first month, so I repurchased and have been using it It's much more convenient to manage at home compared to going to a skin care shop, and the price is also affordable, which I really like Most of all, I love that there's no scent ♡♡

I didn't really experience any breakouts But I think the formula needs some improvement I've been using it for two months now, so I've gotten used to it, but first-time users might be a bit surprised..ㅜㅜ

I don't apply it directly to my face, but spray it onto my hands first and then apply it to my face This way, it doesn't run and is also easier to use And it shortens the time, so the time mentioned in the product description seems about right!

I love it! I used a 3-set, 3-month supply. In the first week, after cleansing, I applied it with my hands and let it absorb, but it stung a bit more than I expected... I thought it might not suit me, but the next day, my skin noticeably brightened. And I felt a plump, firm sensation, so I kept using it~~~ By the first month, I really felt the nourishing effect, and my skin texture and tone improved. It's a great product for at-home care!

The price! But it's still cheaper than going to an esthetician or dermatologist. After using it for 4 weeks, a month, it's worth the purchase! It's just a tiny bit burdensome, but I can save the money by skipping a drink or two ㅋㅋ

Due to my dry skin, I had many fine lines and my skin tone was dull, so it was not easy to choose cosmetics that suited my skin. Coincidentally, I came across Bimini cosmetics through a friend's recommendation. After using it, the results were amazing!! The alpha absorbs quickly and lifts my skin tightly, making my skin tone look brighter. The omega has a good spreadability, and my skin feels well-groomed and dewy. The next day, my makeup went on so well. It seems to be the perfect cosmetics for my dry skin. So I've been repurchasing and using it continuously, and I will keep using it going forward. Bimini is a total hit!!~^^

When replacing the empty alpha container with a new one, it felt a bit sticky and stiff..

The best part was that it didn't just pour out all at once, but rather flowed out drop by drop, so I had to rub it into my skin right away. This meant I didn't have to set aside extra time for a facial massage, as using this product automatically incorporated that step. The feeling was like water dripping down, and the scent wasn't too strong, which I liked. The once-a-week usage was also fine! I think it would be too much to use this every single day.

By the time I finished the whole bottle, my skin had become a bit numb, so I'm not sure if that's why the feeling was a bit dull. I was worried my skin was getting worse, and sure enough, right after applying it, red blemishes popped up all over my face, which was uncomfortable and strange.

[Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review] The Alpha and Omega set is an anti-aging skincare product used for 4 weeks, with Alpha used once a week and Omega used daily. While the review pages for Alpha and Omega are separated, making it somewhat inconvenient to read, I will write the common features of the product line here and only mention the unique aspects of Omega. - Effectiveness: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5 out of 5) I was quite satisfied with the anti-aging effects! The product claims to have wrinkle improvement and whitening effects, and while I couldn't feel the whitening effect within a week, I could see that my skin gained elasticity, pores tightened, and nasolabial folds slightly faded. (Attached an unedited photo, albeit a bit embarrassing) Honestly, it's rare to see this level of effect from a product that's just applied, without any treatments.

- Ingredients: ☆☆☆☆ Even before receiving the product, I had high expectations after checking the ingredients. Many anti-aging products can be quite irritating, and for example, retinol-containing products have caused a lot of trouble for my skin.🙁 Bimini used mostly natural ingredients and low-risk components, so my expectations were high. However, after actually using it, I developed two pimples on my chin. (I tend to get skin troubles on my chin when I don't react well to certain ingredients.) And when I applied the Bimini Omega at night and went to bed, I felt a slight tingling sensation on my face, so it seems I may have a mild allergy to some of the ingredients. Even if the ingredients are not harmful, the risk of allergy is still there.😦 Since allergies can be individual, I'll only deduct one star for this. - Usability: ☆☆☆ The Bimini Alpha is a water-based essence in a syringe-type container, and you have to apply the full 5ml at once, which requires a lot of patience. I had to apply it 6-7 times all over my face and neck to use up the full amount, which took about 10 minutes. The amount of essence that feels sufficient may vary depending on skin condition, so I wonder if it's necessary to use the full 5ml at once. By the 6th application, I started to feel the essence just sitting on top of my skin. I wonder if a mask pack format that you can leave on for 10 minutes would have been more convenient.🤔 The water-based formula absorbs quickly, but it also tends to drip down as soon as you dispense it, making it tricky to apply. The opaque container also makes it hard to check the remaining amount, and towards the end, the solution started spraying in all directions from the syringe, which was inconvenient. I found it interesting that my face felt tightening as I waited for the absorption, and I was curious about the reason for the 10-minute wait before rinsing it off. It's clearly a good product, but I wish there had been more explanations to help users understand the efficacy and usage instructions of each product. If these aspects are improved, I think it could become an even more beloved product.😊

[Product Composition] 4 Bimini Alpha (each 5ml), 1 Bimini Omega (1 month supply) [How to Use] Apply one Alpha capsule all at once, massaging it into the skin like using a syringe-like tool. After 10 minutes, cleanse your face. Then, apply the Omega. *Spreadability: Thin liquid type (5ml) that can be applied all at once. *Absorption: The thin liquid is absorbed into the skin with a massaging motion. Leaves the skin feeling moisturized. The 5ml amount seems quite a lot, but the instructions recommend using the full amount for best results. (There must be a reason for this.) After application, the skin may feel slightly irritated and taut. Since the instructions say to cleanse after 10 minutes, just use plain water to rinse it off. Then, finish with the Omega (like an essence). *The ingredients were very good. It's a functional cosmetic for antioxidation, whitening, wrinkle improvement, and firming, but without any added chemicals. It seems like an honest brand that truly considers natural ingredients and skin health. Even though I'm usually cautious about using functional cosmetics due to sensitivity, I didn't experience any troubles. It seems they've put effort into researching good ingredients and technology to nourish the skin, rather than forcefully penetrating the skin with harsh chemicals to achieve dramatic effects. This is a cosmetic that expects gradual improvement with consistent use, rather than dramatic results. I can feel a slight improvement in skin elasticity and wrinkles. I tried to capture it in photos, but since I've only been using it for 2 weeks, I couldn't show more visible changes yet. I've noticed brighter skin tone, whitening, and improved elasticity.

This product is suitable for all skin types. While individual differences may exist, the fact that my sensitive skin responded well to it suggests that there are no irritating ingredients or the formula is not too strong. However, the price is on the higher end. But compared to brands that advertise chemical-laden products as "functional", I would choose this one that utilizes pure natural botanical ingredients and advanced technology. The Alpha does sting a bit during application. I'm curious about the reason for that. After cleansing, there is no stinging or irritation.

Since the product is a generous amount and in a liquid form, it's best to use an applicator tool to dispense it directly onto the skin, to prevent it from dripping elsewhere. After applying the Omega, I felt the skin was a bit dry, so I added a chemical-free moisturizing cream on top. While I didn't really want to add any other products after the Omega, since it's also a chemical-free line, I just applied it lightly around the eye and lip areas. I'm not entirely sure about this part - whether it's better not to add any additional products or if it's okay to use a complementary chemical-free cream.

Even before, I was using the omega, and it's almost as watery as the alpha, but surprisingly, using the two together is better than using them separately. When I apply them, my skin doesn't feel dry, and the area around my eyes, which used to be very dry and tight, is much less dry now, and my skin just feels balanced. It's not that my skin is overly oily, but for those with very dry skin, using just this might still be a bit drying. But for me, even in the summer, I think just using the omega and an eye cream would be enough. This is my second time using it, and when I touch my skin, I can definitely feel the improvement compared to when I was on my period. However, for those with very oily skin, this might not be enough moisture, especially in the spring, fall, and winter. But for me, my skin used to feel rough and dull when I was using the essence and serum before, but now it's not at all rough. I wasn't sure if the effects were from the alpha or the omega, but after using the alpha again after a week and continuing the daily omega, I can clearly see the synergistic effect, and the alpha has definitely helped improve my skin. My skin has improved significantly - it's no longer dull and feels more supple and healthy. At first, I was worried that it would sting when applying, as some others mentioned, but that was only initially, and after rinsing, it's been fine. Using this today, I feel confident that my skin will continue to improve, and I'm seriously considering repurchasing, even though I just used it a couple of hours ago and can already see the difference. I realized why the essence and serum I was using before, which supposedly worked well for me last year, ended up drying out my skin and making it worse. With just this one product, my skin is less dry and in better condition. I'm so excited to keep using the omega and the remaining alpha for the next two weeks to see how much more my skin can improve. I'm really satisfied with the reduction in bumps, blemishes, and overall smoothness of my skin.

I can understand the downsides - the application process for the alpha is a bit time-consuming, as you have to cleanse your face and then apply it, letting it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it off. And when applying, you have to be careful because the formula is so watery. Ideally, you'd want to massage it in, but the instructions say to just pat it in, which can be a bit frustrating. However, seeing the improvements in my skin made it worth it. The second time I used it, the application was much quicker and easier. The initial use was a bit stinging, probably because I was using it right before my period when my skin was extra sensitive. But after my period ended, today's application was much less irritating. I did experience some redness and tingling during the initial use, which made me wonder if I really needed to rinse it off after applying. But I understand now that the rinsing is an important step. The redness went away the next day, and by the second day, it was completely gone. This second week, it stung a lot less, but my face did get a bit blotchy after application, which worried me. But once I rinsed it off and applied the omega, my skin went back to normal. I read reviews from others who also found it quite irritating, especially for sensitive skin types. But for me, the stinging and itchiness were manageable and short-lived, and the overall improvement in my skin outweighed those minor downsides. I'm really impressed by the results and am seriously considering a repurchase, even though the full set is quite pricey at around $150. The improvements in my skin's texture and clarity make me think it might be worth the investment, if the effects continue. I may just try to get the omega separately, as that's the product I use daily anyway. The high price is a bit of a deterrent, but if the results keep getting better, I might just have to bite the bullet.

For those with even more sensitive skin than mine, I think thoroughly rinsing it off with water could help reduce the stinging and itchiness that I experienced. It seemed to only last for that initial period for me. I've only used the alpha twice so far, so I'm still figuring out the best application technique. But I found that really thoroughly rinsing it off made a difference, and the irritation was mostly just on the day of use or the next day for me. When applying, I found that trying to rush through it before it started dripping too much helped - just quickly patting it on rather than massaging it in. For more sensitive skin types, that quick patting motion to absorb it quickly might be better than trying to spread it around. So in summary, I'd recommend really making sure to rinse it off well with water, and for the application, try to work quickly to get it on without letting it drip too much. The extra effort seems worth it given the improvements I've seen in my skin overall. But I can understand the hesitation with the high price tag - it is a significant investment. Trying just the omega separately could be a good compromise if the full set feels too costly.

The formula is as thin as water, making it easily absorbed into the skin for a pleasant user experience. It's nicely moisturizing, so it's great to use in the current weather. These days, with the stronger sunlight, I've been concerned about my skin, but the full-size Alpha + Omega set costs 153,000 won, which may seem expensive for a cosmetic product, but considering the cost of professional skin care treatments, it's a relatively affordable way to invest in your skin. The set includes 1 full-size 5ml Alpha product and 3 refills, providing a 4-week supply. Using it once a week is recommended. The website mentions that it contains fat-dissolving ingredients, so it's not just an ordinary product. Massaging it in also helps improve blood circulation. I'm not sure of the exact mechanism, but I interpret it as absorbing, rinsing, and exfoliating to stimulate new cell growth, similar to a fractional laser treatment. While those treatments can be very painful, this product doesn't seem to have that issue, so it could be a good option for those hesitant about undergoing such procedures. The skin type doesn't seem to be a major factor.

Although the brand claims the product is non-irritating, there are quite a few in the Hwahae Trial Reviewer community who have experienced irritation, and I've had a similar experience. When I apply the Alpha, my skin becomes reddened and stings, which is disappointing. It also tends to dry out my skin during the waiting time. If these symptoms persist, it's likely that the product doesn't suit my skin type. I'll need to use it a bit more to determine if this is a positive reaction or simply my skin not tolerating it. The more nourishing and potent a product is, the more potential there is for irritation. The usage instructions are also a bit complex and cumbersome. But I suppose if you want to achieve beautiful skin, some time investment is required.

After cleansing, I squeeze out one full dose of the Alpha product onto my hands and gently massage and pat it into my face to help it absorb. The entire application process takes around 10 minutes, and then I wait an additional 10 minutes for it to fully absorb. After that, I rinse my face with water (cleansing with soap is also fine). Next, I apply the Omega serum, and for any dry areas on my cheeks, I also use a cream. The recommendation is to not use any other products along with this regimen, as that is said to be the best approach.
