Pros
This product has excellent moisturizing power, so I can go to bed without applying a separate skin lotion, and my skin doesn't feel dry. Even though I have a combination skin type that leans more towards dryness, I used to feel uncomfortable when I didn't pay attention to moisturizing. But this product has such great moisturizing properties that I've already emptied 4 bottles of it..hahahaha
Cons
Since this is a moisturizing product, when I apply it before doing my makeup, the makeup tends to slip a little bit

Pros
- The ingredients are great! It doesn't contain any of the 20 main irritants or allergens, so I could use it with confidence. Even though the cream has a heavy texture, it didn't cause any blemishes or breakouts. - The moisturizing power is excellent! As the name suggests, it's a very dense and rich cream, but it spreads smoothly on the skin, enveloping it like a protective layer. It also has a lot of oil content, so my skin never feels dry. I think it would be perfect for the winter, as it doesn't cause any flaking or dryness. - The application is great! As I mentioned before, dense and rich creams are often difficult to apply and absorb, but this one glides on smoothly and gets absorbed quickly.
Cons
- Since it has such a heavy texture, it might be too much for oily skin types, potentially causing breakouts. And even for dry skin, it might be a bit too much for the summer - it could feel burdensome. It might be better to use it as a night cream or only during the transitional seasons and winter. When I used it before makeup in the morning, it felt a bit heavy and like it was creating a barrier on my skin.

Pros
Texture 👉🏻 It's quite thick, but not as solid as a balm. Instead, it has a slightly thicker cream-like feel, and if I had to compare it, it's similar to the Innisfree Cica Balm. Hydration 👉🏻 It's hydrating and pairs well with the Soothing Treatment I purchased. Since my skin is extremely dry, applying the Soothing Treatment first to hydrate the inner layers, then this product on top, really boosts the hydration. It's truly gentle and only provides hydration without any irritation. You can really feel how soothing it is as you apply it!
Cons
👉🏻 The cream doesn't fully absorb, and there's a feeling of the oil just sitting on top of the skin... It's not a slick, oily feeling, but more of a separated, unabsorbed sensation. It's hard for me to define exactly, but I've tried to describe the feeling as best I can. 👉🏻 And because it's so thick, it's not easy to apply evenly. I had to divide it between my cheeks and chin when applying to make sure it spread properly. 👉🏻 When I apply makeup over this, it pills up ㅠㅠ I'm not sure if it's my own flakiness or what, but other shea butter creams haven't done this. Because of this, towards the end of using the product, I went back to using another shea butter cream I had used before. The reason it's an empty is that my husband and I used it together, and he really liked it, so I repurchased it!
Tip
If you want to boost the hydration, I'd recommend applying it in two layers, even if the total amount is the same, rather than a single heavy application. This doesn't completely eliminate the oily, unabsorbed feeling, but it does seem to help reduce it a bit.

Pros
I was surprised at how soft and smooth my skin felt as soon as I tested it on the back of my hand at the store!! The ingredients are also gentle, so I heard that even people with atopic dermatitis or babies can use it!! It's not sticky at all and the moisturizing power is so great that I use it often.
Cons
It's a bit disappointing that there's a bit of oiliness that comes up. When I apply this and then do my base makeup, it doesn't slide, but when it starts to break down, it doesn't look very nice... 😢 I wouldn't recommend using it in the morning, and I also wouldn't recommend it to people who don't like the feeling of oiliness coming up.

Pros
✔Texture The texture has an oily feel and is a bit thicker and richer compared to other moisturizers. This resulted in good moisturizing effects. ✔Spreadability The spreadability was also good. When first applied to the skin, it sits on the surface white, but when rubbed in with the hands, it melts quickly due to body temperature and absorbs transparently. After application, the skin has a subtle glow. ✔Hydration This is truly a highly moisturizing balm cream! After applying, the skin feels like it has a protective moisture barrier. In the winter, when I just used my usual moisturizer before bed, my skin would feel a bit tight the next morning. But when I generously applied this Missha balm cream instead, my skin felt thoroughly moisturized and not at all tight the next day. ✔Fragrance There didn't seem to be any particular fragrance~ Even those sensitive to scents should be able to use this comfortably. ✔Skin Improvement Effects I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and used this product from December 3rd to 13th. When I applied it at night like a sleeping pack, the tightness in my skin was significantly reduced. This seems like a great product to use in the winter season.
Cons
On the mornings after using this product as the final step, my makeup seemed to sit on top of my skin a bit more. So after the first day, I only used it at night. Also, around the 3rd or 4th day of use, I noticed a few small bumps appearing on my forehead. I'm not sure if it was due to this product, so I continued using it, and the bumps didn't get any worse. But starting today, I'll avoid applying it to my forehead for a while to see if the bumps go away. Those with oily skin types should be especially careful with this product.
Tip
Rather than using this as the final step in your morning skincare routine, it seems better to use it as a nighttime sleeping pack~

Pros
✍🏻Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review My skin is dry and very sensitive with a lot of milia. When I checked the ingredients, I was pleased to see that it contains gentle ingredients. And the price! The volume is not small, and I think the cream-to-price ratio is very cost-effective. The scent when opened is close to unscented, like a regular cream scent? It seems like no other ingredients were added. The cream texture is quite thick and creamy due to the shea butter content, and when I tested it on the back of my hand, it felt like a protective coating was applied. This is the result of using it for 2 weeks. This product is perfect for the cold, windy winter these days. When I apply it at night and go to sleep, the moisture is maintained until the morning, but it's not too heavy, so it's not burdensome. In my case, my skin usually develops flaky scales in this weather, and to manage that, I would apply a heavy cream, but then I would get milia breakouts the next day, a vicious cycle. But while using this cream, I could feel my skin improving a lot. (Ah, it just happened to coincide with a hormonal change period when my skin was getting better, haha) As my skin gets coated and a slight glow appears, I feel like my skin is getting better, and I'm very satisfied with this product.
Cons
It felt a bit heavy to apply in the morning. So I didn't use it before makeup, but some reviews mentioned that it can cause makeup to slip, so be careful!
Tip
You can apply this cream anywhere that needs moisture without any burden! Use it as an all-purpose cream for the backs of your hands, elbows, knees, and heels.

Pros
Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review (Brief summary below ✍🏻 Beware of too much talking) To be honest, when I received the product, I had no expectations at all because the texture was completely like an ointment-like barrier cream. Why!!! When I've used creams with this kind of texture before, while there was always improvement in skin texture as others have mentioned, the barrier would clog my pores and cause milia...ㅋㅋㅋ But this product, when applied to my T-zone which lacks oil, not only had an excellent skin texture improving effect, but also calmed the reddened areas and was light enough to not cause milia!! However, my T-zone is so...temperamental...and unique^^, so when I applied the product, it did make my sebum production increase. But compared to similar products, this one definitely has less oil while still being effective (for those who don't see this as a downside). So I recommend this to: 👉 Those who are not sensitive to pore-clogging formulas 👉 Those who want to improve rough skin texture ✍🏻Skin Texture Improvement & Soothing The skin texture becomes so soft that you can feel it when washing your face in the morning after applying it at night!! And the reddened areas from the winter wind also seemed to improve. ✍🏻Gentle My skin is an amazing friend that stings at many products, but this one had no stinging or itchiness at all. It's gentle!! ✍🏻Fast Absorption for an Ointment-like Texture At first, the thick texture made me think "Ugh, I'll have to really pat this in", but to my surprise, it absorbed quite quickly. Of course, not as fast as a watery moisturizer, but for this kind of barrier cream ointment texture, the absorption is really fast.
Cons
🔍Not recommended for use before makeup or in a hurry First of all, it's possible that I patted it on hastily and applied the cushion foundation too quickly. But when I quickly applied it and layered on base makeup, it didn't pill. However...it does come off!!! This may be an isolated case, but I wanted to let you know there's a possibility of that happening. I'd recommend using it more at night. And since the absorption is slower compared to watery moisturizers, if you try to pat it on in a hurry, it may feel frustrating. 🔍Not recommended if you're looking for moisturizing effects After using this cream for a while, I looked up other reviews and saw many people saying it has great moisturizing properties. But for my extremely dry U-zone, it was definitely not enough, especially in the winter!! Dry-skinned folks should use this just for skin texture improvement and be sure to add a separate moisturizing cream. It might work well as a winter cream for oily-skinned people though. 🔍Not recommended for those sensitive to pore-clogging In my pore-less, oil-free U-zone, this cream was really great. But when I applied it to my T-zone, which is often congested with sebum and prone to milia + texture issues, it did feel like it clogged my pores, leading to increased sebum and occasional milia. It could be because my winter skin care routine was lacking, but for sensitive types, it's probably best to avoid this. ————————————————————— TMI starts here (You might say, 'Well, just use it on the U-zone then!' But this cream is truly excellent for improving skin texture. However, if I only use it on the U-zone, my already poor T-zone will just keep deteriorating, while the U-zone becomes smooth and glowing. I found it really hard to just let my skin be so polarized like that...Sob, sob.. But because the effects are so good, I'm gritting my teeth and diligently applying it to the U-zone at least to try to get that glowing skin there.)
Tip
As mentioned above, the people who would be satisfied using this product are: 💡Those who don't mind the slower absorption (as the skin texture improvement effect is more important) 💡Those who don't have an aversion to the "barrier film" feeling on the skin 💡Oily-skinned people who need a lightweight winter-use barrier + moisturizing cream 💡Dry-skinned people who are willing to apply a separate moisturizer It seems like this is a cream with clear advantages, despite some downsides. For someone like me who finds it a hassle to use separate day and night creams, those drawbacks are quite critical. But for those who fit the profile above, I'd definitely recommend giving this a try! It seems like a really great cream for the right skin type.😊

Pros
(☆I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and got to write this review:)☆) This is for oily skin!! (Reference) 👍Spreadability: First of all, the spreadability was really good!! After cleansing, most products don't absorb well into the skin, but this one spreads thinly and evenly, and it feels like it fills in the pores a bit(?) To give an analogy, do you know ointment? When you spread ointment, it becomes thinner - this product has that kind of feeling!! 👍Absorption (over time): At first, it's not sticky or tacky, but bouncy and supple~? It has a really nice feel to it! I tend to do night care, so I was worried about my pillow getting dirty, but no need to worry about that - it absorbs into the skin so well. Over time, it becomes more soft and smooth. I'm satisfied with it!! (Please refer to the downside) 👍Price: As you can see in the photo, it's full and the bottle is quite large:)! The price just a bit over 10,000 won is just about right, I think. Compared to other creams, the amount is quite generous and substantial~ ❤I wouldn't strongly recommend this to those with very oily skin I actively recommend this to those with dry, sensitive skin:) I had a friend try it for a few days, and she has sensitive skin. But she was completely satisfied with it👍👍😊
Cons
👎Breakouts: First, if you look at the before and after photos, the big pimples stay the same, but the small bumps improve a bit! But when I did my night care routine, the skin would behave, but in the morning when I went to school with this on, my skin looked really bad and dirty-looking ㅜㅜ So I recommend the night care routine!! 👎Makeup: I do my skin makeup with a cushion, and after toning, I applied this cream and started my makeup, but most of the cushion products ended up sliding around, pilling up, and not blending well on the skin ㅜ If you want your skin to look nice, you have to apply this cream the night before, which was a bit inconvenient. And the cushion that usually lasts 4-5 hours suddenly only lasted 1-2 hours and got patchy - it's disappointing ㅜㅜㅜ!

Pros
It sounds great!! This seems like a good basic staple product to stock up on during sales!
Cons
As mentioned in other reviews, the lack of a spatula is really ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is truly inconvenient.. Creams with such a rich texture tend to easily collect dust, so it would be great if they included a spatula ㅠㅠㅠㅠ ㅠㅠㅠ 👉It applies thickly. It's not the type that goes on thinly. But that's just the nature of the formula, so it can't be helped. I don't apply a lot of this in the morning, so I haven't experienced any issues with it interfering with my makeup. I only use it in the evening.
Tip
I highly recommend using this as a night care product before bed! It's super moisturizing, so I definitely recommend it 💓

Pros
First, my skin type is dry & sensitive with a history of atopic dermatitis. During the seasonal changes in winter, my skin becomes very dry and more sensitive. This cream has a rich, balm-like texture, as the name 'night cream' suggests. I use it as a soothing treatment when doing my nighttime skincare routine. After application, it leaves a protective moisturizing layer, so I find it calming to use before bed. As I have rosacea, my skin gets flushed easily when irritated. That's why I only use products that can soothe my skin. This has been a go-to basic for me, especially in the fall and winter. While it would likely be great for dry skin types, those with oily skin may find it too heavy. I'd recommend testing it out in-store or getting a sample first before purchasing, just to make sure it suits your skin type.
Cons
Downsides: 1. Lack of a spatula 2. Causes makeup to slip after use (recommended for nighttime use) 3. Slight medicinal scent that dissipates quickly Apart from these, I'm quite satisfied with using this product.
Tip
I like to use this as a lip balm too - just dab on generously with a cotton swab. It leaves my lips feeling soft and smooth. I also sometimes apply it to dry areas like my heels. If you have a separate spatula, you can use that to scoop out the product, which is more hygienic. Overall, it's a great multi-purpose moisturizer.
