The Hwahae cream also works well for my skin type that is prone to oil, and since my skin became severely dehydrated during the seasonal changes, I thoroughly reviewed the reviews and purchased the Dior Diorissimo oil, but it is completely not absorbed and just sits on the surface of my skin, so I cannot use it.
Cons
Even though it was mixed, this is the first time I've spat it out like this among the oils.

It has a smooth, gliding application. Although it's an oil, it doesn't clog pores, so it feels refreshing. It's a good product to apply in the evening and sleep in, even during the summer.
Cons
The dropper has a very thin consistency, so it tends to drip down easily.

There are times when my skin is very dry and prone to clogged pores, so I often apply this product without using other oils. I also mix it into the final step, the Seculogy cream, and apply it.
Cons
Face oils may cause dryness more quickly compared to other products, but they do not lead to skin issues.
Tip
If you want to purchase a product with a recent manufacturing date, I recommend using personal direct purchase.

I've been applying squalane in the final step of my routine. It seems to be helpful in regulating sebum production.
Cons
At first, portion control can be challenging. Thinking of it like an essence and applying too much can lead to an oily, greasy complexion. Caution is advised.

I've always felt dry... But after discovering this product, the dryness has been completely resolved, and I'm looking forward to how it will fare this winter. I always use Estée Lauder foundation, but since my skin tends to get dry, I mix 2-3 drops of this product with it, and then it applies seamlessly without any cakiness!!
Cons
The squalane ingredient sometimes doesn't agree with my skin when it's in poor condition, so I use it while keeping an eye on my skin's condition.

I mix it into body lotion or thick hair essence, rather than applying it directly to the face. The texture becomes more fluid, spreading evenly and providing long-lasting moisture.
Cons
I feel like it's unnecessary, but I still buy it regularly since it's inexpensive and I feel like something's missing without it. I've never actually used up a whole bottle before its expiration date, though.

1. It's affordable. 2. Squalane is similar to the body's natural sebum. As a result, it is readily absorbed into both the hair and skin. 3. Even when applied generously to the hair, it does not leave a greasy appearance, so there is no need for a hair essence. 4. During the dry winter months, I have not felt any dryness since using it as an additive to my body lotion.
Cons
I have not felt it. I just need to fill in the text, so I wrote whatever.
Tip
It can be used as a hair oil and added generously to body lotion, allowing for trouble-free use for up to 6 months.

If you have very dry and tight skin in the winter, but don't like the heavy feel and are afraid of breakouts, be sure to try this. It's a lightweight, oil-based serum that flows down like water when you dispense a drop. I've been using jojoba oil every winter, but this time I tried the Ordinary's Squalane Oil for the first time, and wow, I love it so much. In the winter, my skin gets so dehydrated that I have to constantly reapply moisturizer, but after using this product, my dehydration has been greatly relieved. I was worried about breakouts since I have sensitive skin, but I didn't get any blemishes or bumps during the 3 weeks of use.
Cons
There's nothing disappointing - it's just perfect for my dry, sensitive skin.
Tip
You only need 2-3 drops mixed in at the cream step, it's enough. You can also use it before makeup in the morning, and it won't cause your makeup to slide off or anything.

The product is similar in structure and sebum content to human skin, so it can help reduce sebum production. When I applied it to half of my face as an experiment, the side with the product showed less sebum secretion. It has an oil-like texture that gently exfoliates without clogging pores, so it doesn't cause breakouts.
Cons
- It's extremely runny. It's so thin that if I just open the dropper without pressing, it'll drip off. Timing the application is tricky, so it's easy to make a mess. - While it absorbs quickly, it leaves a thin film on the skin rather than fully sinking in. So if you're looking to address dryness or want a more powdery/velvety finish, this might not be the best option.
Tip
To use it, you can mix in a drop or two with an absorptive cream. The cream will help carry the ingredients into the skin without leaving a greasy finish. If you still find it a bit tacky, you can gently pat it with a damp sponge to achieve a soft, smooth result.

It's an oil-based formula, but it's not too heavy for oily skin either. Just a couple of drops is enough, and it helps control sebum production and prevent dehydration.
Cons
For some reason, when I mix it with a cream and apply it, it doesn't control the dehydration, and it just makes my skin look shiny on the surface. It works better when used alone or mixed with a toner.
