- Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinApr 5, 2018
Here's a review from one of The Hwahae Testers: First off, I apologize for the late review. I have combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes and sensitivity to heat, so I rarely use products with rich oils. As we all know, the effectiveness of creams can vary greatly depending on skin type, so those with oily skin, please take note! ✅Texture: A pale gel that's somewhere between a gel and a cream... ✅Packaging: Comes with a spatula, of course. Great for hygiene! ✅Scent: It smells like the raw ingredients of a cream, as if they've only neutralized the scent without adding any fragrance. It has a natural, rubber-like scent, which didn't bother me much. I actually prefer this, as strongly scented creams tend to trigger my blemishes. ✅Absorption: Despite its silicone-like texture, it absorbs surprisingly well. It sinks in within 2 minutes, leaving the skin feeling slightly moisturized without any residue. ✅Effectiveness: Those of us who deal with acne know we shouldn't expect dramatic results from a moisturizer. This is just one step in your hydration routine, and it's unrealistic to expect it to cure acne. However, it does its job of providing hydration well. After cleansing, it left my skin feeling adequately moisturized without any tightness or leftover residue. As is often the case with oily skin, I always enjoy the cooling effect when a moisturizer touches my skin, seemingly drawing out excess sebum and heat (naturally, since the cream is cooler than my body temperature). I tend to apply moisturizers generously, but this product had almost no cooling effect. It quickly warmed up to my skin temperature, feeling like a stuffy oil film until it was fully absorbed. Only after absorption did my skin regain that hydrated, fresh feeling. This might vary based on personal preference, but if you prioritize a cooling effect in your moisturizer, you might want to consider this. Additionally, I noticed something after sleeping without lip balm last night. The area around my lips felt slightly tingly and stiff, almost like an allergic reaction. It turns out it wasn't my lip balm, but this cream causing the issue. For me, it only affected my lip area and T-zone, but for others with more sensitive skin, it could potentially affect the entire face. I'm not sure if it's due to the glycerin or chayote extract, but there seems to be an ingredient that doesn't agree with oily skin types. When applying to your face, try to massage it in with your fingers to speed up absorption. If you have a skincare fridge, I highly recommend storing this product in it. It makes a big difference.
