It's got a nice, bouncy texture that adheres well to the skin when applied. While it feels slightly oily at first, it absorbs better than expected. You can still feel a light layer on your skin, but it's not overwhelming. It works well with mineral sunscreen and doesn't pill or feel too sticky even in hot weather, which is great. Fortunately, I didn't experience any major blemishes, but I did notice some redness. While it wasn't solely due to this product, it definitely contributed. This could vary depending on individual skin types and conditions, so I'd recommend testing it yourself. Adding an update as the seasons change: While it was great for summer use, as the weather turned colder and drier, it couldn't quite handle the flaky dead skin cells or the tight, dry feeling. This product seems to be weather-dependent. I'd recommend it for hot, sweaty summer days. Now, I only use it before bed, not for going out. One more thing! When used with mineral sunscreen, it tends to pill and separate. It seems to mix well with richer creams, adhering nicely even when applied after them. But with this cream, if you apply sunscreen over it, they don't blend well, making it a bit tricky to get good skin adhesion. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinApr 1, 2018
I'm writing this review as a first-time winner of The Hwahae Testers program. I used the product for 11 days, from March 22nd to April 1st. I kept my usual skincare routine, only switching out the cream. My skin is combination dehydrated with occasional blemishes on my cheeks and chin, and slight redness on my cheeks. First off, I was delighted to see the product box wrapped in bubble wrap and even included a compact mirror! There was also a sample for patch testing without opening the full-size product. If you have super sensitive skin, I recommend trying a sample first (I'll explain why in the cons section). The product seemed larger than I expected when applying it. Later, I realized it's a generous 70ml! Even after enthusiastic use, it barely seemed to decrease. Texture and Absorption: The texture is fantastic. Despite its name suggesting a simple moisturizer, it actually offers brightening and anti-aging benefits. However, it doesn't have that typical thick feel of brightening creams. It feels like applying a hydrating moisturizer. I used the included spatula to apply generous layers, and it spread evenly without pilling, even with repeated application. Moisturizing Effect: After applying, I didn't notice any surface dryness. It feels like it creates a protective layer on the skin, but without feeling greasy or sticky. It's hard to describe, but it's like a thin, protective oil layer that feels bouncy to the touch. Deep Dryness: While the surface felt protected and smooth, I noticed some dryness deeper in the skin. I wouldn't recommend this for those with very dry skin. It feels like it provides surface hydration to prevent further moisture loss. If you have dry skin, I'd suggest using your regular moisturizer underneath this cream. Sensitive Skin: There's a slight warming sensation after application. It's not excessive or painful, but it might vary from person to person. If you have super sensitive skin, try a sample first or perhaps avoid it. I have sensitive skin but didn't experience any unpleasant reactions or blemishes, so I continued using it and plan to keep doing so. It's a generous size with a reasonable price and skin-friendly ingredients. The pros seem to outweigh the cons for this product. I plan to layer it over my current cream. I've included product photos and before/after application pictures. - Hwahae UserOily SkinMar 26, 2018
I loved that it had no scent, which was a relief for my nose! Some creams have such strong fragrances that I hesitate to use them, but this product was completely fragrance-free. That was my favorite thing about it! I have oily skin that's dehydrated underneath! However, this product didn't give me that deep hydration feeling after application. The product description says it's for dry skin types, so I deliberately tried applying it after cleansing with just toner, but it was too drying on its own. Even with my oily skin, I had to apply all my steps including emulsion before this product to feel any hydration. Most importantly, it stung when I applied it! My skin isn't particularly sensitive, but it tingled every time I used it. Though I did notice the sensation lessening slightly with continued use.
