- Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinDec 11, 2019
I originally used this product before, but after not using it for a while, I decided to repurchase it when my skin became dry and flaky in winter. At the time, I remembered it had many advantages and was good, but using it again now, I'm not sure if it doesn't mesh well with my other skincare products or if my skin has become more problematic. It's a bit disappointing that I don't feel much of an effect. The moisturizer has a non-sticky texture and feels fresh. It absorbs quickly. When I bought it before, I could definitely feel a difference in my skin texture when washing my face the next day, but lately, I don't get that feeling, which is sad. It feels like a decent, no-frills moisturizer! The packaging is so inconvenient! Although I was satisfied with it last time, the main reason I switched to a different cream was because of the container. Even though I was happy with how it worked, I ended up coming back to it... but still. It's winter, and using this alone is too drying, so I'm using it with another moisturizer. But it's still dry, so I'm planning to add an oil or a richer cream. I guess my skin has become much more dehydrated. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinMar 15, 2019
This product truly demonstrates what it means to strengthen your skin barrier. It's wonderful how it provides a hydrating base and leaves your skin feeling refreshed when applied as a final step. It's amazingly refreshing without causing any tightness, which is fantastic. Plus, it doesn't cause any pilling with makeup. Absolutely top-notch! Be cautious not to over-apply, as it can lead to blemishes. I slathered it on generously due to the winter weather, but... While the product itself is excellent, the packaging is quite disappointing. As you near the end of the product, the container starts to deform and release a white powder. That aspect is really off-putting. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinFeb 20, 2019
The scent is refreshing and invigorating. It absorbs beautifully into the skin. The hydration is excellent and it suits my skin perfectly. It's quite pricey for what you get. The packaging is extremely inconvenient. When you squeeze the tube, the white ink on the container peels off. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinJan 3, 2019
I've always stuck to just using toner because creams felt too sticky and seemed to make my skin worse. But this one is surprisingly refreshing and gives me confidence that it's actually good for my skin. After using it for over a week, I can visibly see improvements in my complexion. The tube packaging is great for travel as it gets smaller as you use it. I really love it! Nothing specific, but if you're looking for a large quantity, this might not be the best choice. It seems to run out faster than expected. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinNov 28, 2018
I received this product as a winner of The Hwahae Testers event and gave it a try. I have oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin, so it usually takes me a while to find products that work well. With winter approaching, I was looking for a moisturizing cream when I won this event. Unlike other creams, I really appreciated the hygienic tube packaging! Also, as someone who absolutely hates sticky finishes, I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh my skin felt after application. If you have oily skin and are looking for a lightweight moisturizer, I'd definitely recommend this one! To be honest, for me, the cons outweighed the pros. Firstly, as someone with sensitive skin who was barely managing with a T-cream, this cream triggered a breakout party on my face. I could visibly see my skin texture worsening. Secondly, I believe winter hydration should come from products that moisturize from deep within, but this one felt like it was just sitting on the surface. By morning, my skin felt parched. Lastly, when layering this over other products, it pills and comes off like dead skin cells. While this could partly be my fault, I never experienced this with my T-cream or Holika Holika cream using the same application method. If you have sensitive skin, I'd suggest thinking thrice before purchasing. Those with sensitive, acne-prone skin should think carefully before trying this product. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinNov 26, 2018
*The Hwahae Testers Review* ¶Free from harmful ingredients, contains ceramides that support the skin barrier, incredibly smooth application, leaves a fresh and matte finish making it great for oily skin or summer use (recommended for those who dislike greasy textures), hair doesn't stick to it easily, minimal deep dryness for a matte product, convenient portable packaging *MY skin type: Combination leaning dry/slightly sensitive/combination dehydrated skin (oily T-zone, dry cheeks/acne/dead skin cells/various blemishes) ¶While it applies incredibly smoothly, it tends to pill and turn white like an ointment before absorbing. ¶For dry skin, it feels matte and slightly drying. On bare skin it's dry, but feels fresh when applied over an oily essence. As a result, it lacks hydration and moisture, and when used alone on cold days, makeup tends to look slightly patchy (though it doesn't tighten like a soothing gel. Surprisingly little deep dryness for a matte product) ¶There's a slight burning sensation when applying, like a pain relief patch. This sensation might intensify if you've recently used an exfoliating product. I thought it might be due to the cetearyl alcohol, but apparently, unlike regular alcohol, this is a 'good' alcohol that improves application and moisturizes. Still, I'm not sure why it feels this way. ¶The scent is close to a pain relief patch or Mentholatum lip balm, so not recommended for those sensitive to fragrances (though it's only strong during application and fades quickly). ¶Overall, honestly, this product didn't suit me well. My skin becomes extremely dry in winter... While there weren't any significant improvements or benefits, it didn't cause breakouts or extreme tightness either, so it seems like a decent product for general use. ¶In my case, it's too dry to use alone, so I either apply multiple layers of toner or thin essence before using it, or when I'm feeling lazy, I mix in a drop or two of face oil. It's much better this way~ When used alone, it seems more suitable for oily skin rather than dry, and better for summer use than winter! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinNov 26, 2018
- Despite being in a tube, which might suggest a thick consistency, it's surprisingly light and refreshing. Yet it still gets the job done. - The gentle rosemary scent is just right, not medicinal or overpowering. - It applies lightly while providing hydration, and I especially love its soothing effect. That must be why it smooths out the skin texture. My foundation goes on perfectly without any pilling. - I appreciate the tube packaging for its hygiene. - Compared to similar creams, it has comparable soothing effects but feels more moisturizing. Or, it's as gentle on the skin as other atopic creams, but much lighter in texture. - There's not much to complain about. Since it's not an oily cream, it might feel a bit insufficient for nighttime use. - It absorbs so well that you might wonder if you've actually applied it. For dry skin types aiming for a dewy look, applying foundation or cushion right after might not be enough. A hydrating primer or makeup base is essential. * It's natural that when one aspect is good, another might be lacking. - For evening use, I tried applying it more generously, essentially layering it twice. This results in a better foundation application in the morning. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinNov 26, 2018
A review from The Hwahae Testers! First off, this product is incredibly hydrating! That's why I'd recommend it to those with dry skin. When applied, it feels moisturizing on the inside, but the finish is refreshing and not sticky at all. And as for how well it absorbs... it's perfect! I wouldn't particularly recommend this to those with oily skin. While the product itself is good, it somehow doesn't seem to suit oily skin types well. I have combination skin, and while it was great for my dry areas, I wasn't too keen on how it felt on my oily parts. Also, my forehead tends to be oily, and after using this, I noticed a few small blemishes appearing there. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinNov 26, 2018
I received this product with great ingredients through the Hwahae Testers event. I've been using it for over a week now. Despite having super sensitive skin, it suited me comfortably. It applies incredibly smoothly, leaving a slight coating sensation on the surface. I believe this is due to the ceramide content, which feels like it's creating a protective barrier on the skin. However, it doesn't just sit on top - it absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling fresh. I think it has the perfect texture and consistency for winter use! The downside is that the quantity seems a bit small compared to the price. You understand the desire to slather on moisturizer generously, right? I apply it in thin layers. In the morning before makeup, I only apply one layer to avoid pilling. But in the evening, I layer it thinly, and after it absorbs, I apply it like a mask before going to bed. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinNov 26, 2018
I really liked how fresh my skin felt after using this. At first, it seemed quite rich, but it absorbed quickly, leaving my skin feeling fresh without any residue. That was great! While I don't have problematic skin, so I didn't see any dramatic changes right away, it didn't cause any blemishes and seemed to suit my skin well. I plan to keep using it consistently. I'll need to use it longer to be sure, but from my experience, these tube-type containers tend to develop holes or start peeling over time, which can get messy. I'll leave another review after using it for a while! Still, it's nice that it's hygienic to use for now.
