In fact, I've tried many basic products that are said to be good for sensitive skin, and these AC Calming products seem to suit me the best. I'm currently on my 4th bottle of the booster, and I like that I only need to apply it around my nose and mouth area, rather than all over my face. My nose and mouth area tend to get easily irritated, so this is great for me. I also personally enjoy the scent, so I'm quite satisfied with the product.
ConsThe first disappointing aspect is the size of the product. I can't use it for very long before finishing it. It would be great if they sold it in a bundle or multi-pack with a discount, but I haven't found any stores that offer that. Also, for first-time users, it might be difficult to get the right amount to apply. It took me some time to figure out the right amount as well.
TipThe booster is best applied before your toner. After cleansing, I apply it around my nose and mouth, let it absorb, and then follow up with my regular moisturizer. Use only a small amount. Applying too much doesn't make it more effective, and a little goes a long way with the massaging motion.

I used it with high expectations after reading reviews that said it was not stimulating and had good effects. I usually recommend the cosmetics I received for review purposes to my friends to try as well, so I'll include their opinions too. First of all, I have combination skin that's a bit oily and has some occasional breakouts. My usual skincare routine is toner, mist, ampoule, cica cream, and sunscreen. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup. The initial feeling when applying it was cooling. My face was dry and heated from the indoor heater, but it quickly soothed the heat, so I kept reaching for it. Even in the summer, I wanted to keep rolling it on my face to enjoy the refreshing, cooling sensation. It felt great. I also had a good impression of its acne-care properties. It was around my period, so I had 3-4 breakouts, but they disappeared quickly. Even a larger blemish calmed down after a day and was completely gone in two days. Results may vary, but it worked well for me. The size is also convenient to carry around. Since I don't wear much makeup, I would apply it when my face felt heated up outside. My combination-skinned friend who also tried it was very satisfied with the cooling sensation (she even wanted to apply it to her scalp haha).
ConsThe size is small, so it might get used up quickly. That's partly because I apply it often, but... My sensitive-skinned friend said it stung when she applied it, so keep that in mind.
TipMany reviews mentioned it's hard to control the amount, but I didn't have that issue. I actually wished it would dispense a bit more. Even though it's a spot treatment, I used it all over my face. The cooling sensation is amazing!

I get overwhelmed when there are more than two concerning ingredients in a product. First, in terms of the ingredients, this acne-prone skin product was absolutely perfect! There were hardly any concerning ingredients, so it was very gentle. Since my skin is extremely sensitive, I always have to check the ingredients before applying anything. That's why I also checked the ingredients when applying for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, and the gentle formula made me apply. Thankfully, it didn't worsen my breakouts or cause any redness. However, since it does contain tea tree oil, those who don't react well to this ingredient should be cautious. The effect: The calming effect isn't dramatically noticeable, but it does have a soothing effect. At least it doesn't worsen the condition or strip away all the oil and moisture, which I've experienced with other acne serums or boosters that contain alcohol and end up drying out my skin even more. With this serum, the redness gradually improved, even if the effect wasn't dramatic. Texture and feel: It's so refreshing! You can really feel the cooling sensation. The application feels amazing. As for the scent, since it contains tea tree and lavender extracts, you can definitely detect those herbal notes. I'm not very sensitive to fragrance, but a friend who is more sensitive to scents did mention the herbal aroma. Even those sensitive to fragrance should be able to use this product, though.
ConsThe product would have been truly perfect if it had a slightly stronger calming effect. That part is a bit disappointing.
TipAs you can see from the photo, it's about the size of an eye cream. You can apply it to your entire face, but I found it a bit too precious to do so. Just dab it on the areas you're concerned about and roll it in. I also place a lot of importance on hygiene, and the rolling part may be a bit difficult to keep clean. If hygiene of the container is important to you, you can scoop out the product with your finger instead of rolling it.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI tried using the product after receiving it from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. The things I liked about it are: 1. Massaging the face with the ball on the top is really great! Especially in the morning before going to work, massaging the puffy areas of my face with the ball helps the puffiness go down quickly. I thought the ball would be really hard, but it's actually quite soft when massaging, so I could do it without any irritation. However, if I apply a bit more pressure, my skin turns red right away.๐ฅ 2. It seems to have a calming effect to some degree! If I apply it to areas where I've popped pimples or where they are healing, it seems to speed up the healing process and calms the skin.๐ But I didn't see much effect on areas without any blemishes.๐ฅ 3. It's thin and portable, which is great! I bring it to the office and use the ball to massage my face during lunch or when I'm feeling tired, and it's been really helpful!
ConsThe downside is that there is a bit of irritation! It could be from the ball on the top, but I think it's also from the cream itself.๐ฅ It's not like my skin is completely flipping out or breaking out, but there are times when certain areas feel a bit stingy. My skin is extremely sensitive and I have seborrheic dermatitis and redness, and while I didn't get any breakouts, those with even more sensitive skin might want to do a patch test on their chin or neck before using it.๐ Also, the calming effect doesn't seem as impressive as I had expected, which was a bit disappointing.๐ฅ But it does help calm down popped pimples, so I'm still using it regularly.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1. ๐ As soon as I used it, I could intuitively feel that the ingredients were safe for my skin. It's so gentle and feels great. 2. ๐ The fragrance is nice and it has a relaxing effect. 3. ๐ The application is smooth. 4. ๐ With continued use, I expect it to be effective in reducing acne (since it's a moisturizing product, it should help with relaxation as well). 5. ๐ The tube packaging is really convenient to carry around in a pouch. ๐๐ I've been using it for over a week, and the only downside is that, since I don't have oily skin, I was hoping for anti-aging/brightening benefits rather than acne treatment. The moisturizing formula and pleasant fragrance make it nice to use after toning by rolling it on. It seems like a good essence for calming breakouts. Since I'm somewhat satisfied with this product (not the acne-focused one), I'd like to try other Glowfit serum types!๐๐๐๐ In short, it's a pretty good product!
ConsSome people may be concerned about hygiene, but even I was a bit unsure at first. However, it's fine to use after cleansing. :) I liked having the rolling ball applicator. Other than that, there's not much else to mention.
TipSince it's for acne-prone skin, I applied it mainly to the oily T-zone area after toning, and then moved on to the next step. The cooling and moisturizing sensation was immediately helpful. :))โก.โก

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer's review. It is a 100% honest review. 1. Effectiveness - There was a certain degree of soothing effect. It helped to calm the redness to some extent. 2. Scent - I don't particularly enjoy strong scents, but the scent was not overly stimulating, which was fine. 3. Application shape - This can be seen as both a positive and a negative. It was hygienic as I didn't have to apply it with my hands, but the shape was somewhat inconvenient. 4. Absorption - The absorption was quick, which was convenient for my busy mornings. Personally, I find slow absorption inconvenient as it makes me late, so the quick absorption was good. 5. Degree of irritation - There was no stinging or irritation, which I was satisfied with. The product description seems to accurately reflect its qualities.
Cons1. Application shape - Personally, I didn't like the shape. It was difficult to control the amount and despite trying to apply it gently, I still found it slightly irritating. 2. Effectiveness - I didn't see much of an effect. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I was disappointed that I didn't see significant results on my face. Since effectiveness is the most important factor, I gave it a low rating. 3. Repurchase intent - I have no intention of repurchasing. If I had seen significant effects, I wouldn't have minded spending the money, but since it only slightly calmed the redness, I don't think it's worth the cost. 4. The massage roller part was actually a bit irritating for me. So I would only massage it lightly and wait for it to absorb. Fortunately, the quick absorption was somewhat helpful. Since this product didn't have any particular merits for me, I don't have much else to review. I had high expectations and am quite disappointed. People may have different experiences, but personally, I didn't find it very effective.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review As you can see in the photo, it rolls and applies with three balls, and when you press the tube, it comes out from the ball part. The application method was the best! When you rub it, it feels cooling and massaging, and it's also good that it doesn't get on your hands. The essence has little irritation and the texture is refreshing, so it can be used without any problems even for oily, troubled skin! For trouble spots, I used it by rubbing, but it got irritated and there was redness, so I used it on those areas. It's cooling and has a massaging effect, but even after using it for a long time, the effect on trouble and redness wasn't significant :( Looking at the pamphlet that came with it, it seems that instead of the trouble version, buying the brightening or firming version and applying it around the eyes and on the laugh lines would be really great!! Especially when you rub it gently around the eyes, there's a cooling effect, a massaging effect, and it absorbs well, and you don't even need to use your hands, so it seems really good!
ConsThe combination of rolling massage and trouble spots didn't work well.. For trouble spots, whether big or small, physical stimulation is not good, and when physically stimulated, it gets worse, but when I rubbed it with the massaging ball, it got too stimulated and the trouble got worse :( Even when I rubbed it gently, it got irritated and the trouble spots hurt :(( It seems the compatibility is not good. So I just tried applying the essence, but the essence didn't have much of a calming effect on the trouble either :( I also tried using the massaging ball on the redness and flushing that needed cooling, but there was no significant effect :(( I used it for a long time hoping for an effect, but the review is a bit late, and there was no effect in the end :( However, the packaging is convenient and the idea is good, so if you buy the brightening or firming version that is compatible with the massaging ball for the eye area, it might be good to use. For trouble spots and this type of compatibility, it wasn't very good for me.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI don't normally have acne-prone skin, but I would get breakouts around my period or when there was a lot of fine dust, which was difficult to manage even when I was a student. This product is definitely effective at calming things down. The results aren't immediately noticeable, but I was satisfied just by the fact that it prevented further breakouts. I used it diligently every day to test its efficacy, and while I wouldn't repurchase it, I felt it was a decent product. And despite many saying it's irritating, I didn't find it stinging at all - in fact, the gentleness was the best part for me.
ConsThe most disappointing thing is the applicator design, which doesn't really adhere well to the skin, so it's quite unhygienic. I don't understand why they made it this way. Hygiene should be the priority over any massage benefits for treating breakouts. And the formula has a sticky, tacky feel that makes dust cling to the skin... It's not just moisturizing, but kind of gummy in texture.
TipBe careful with the sticky formula - it can attract dust to the skin, which is really bad for breakout-prone skin. After showering when my skin is dry, I immediately do my skincare routine, but I make sure to dry my hair and get dressed before applying anything, so the dust doesn't stick. Then I'll use a cotton pad with toner to wipe away any dust that may have accumulated, before following up with moisturizer. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's effective for keeping my breakout-prone skin clear.

The ingredients seem to be gentle.
ConsThe plastic white part that rolls directly on the skin was not smoothly finished, so it would scratch my skin uncomfortably every time I rolled it on. Still, I tried to test it as much as possible while avoiding that part, as I wanted to be a Hwahae Trial Reviewer! The product itself is gentle and decent, but since the packaging is an important product characteristic, this is something that should be paid more attention to. If I had purchased this myself, I would consider this a valid complaint.

It is not irritating There is no irritating smell or feel to it I usually used tea tree as a spot treatment, but tea tree can be a bit irritating 2. It has a soothing effect I usually applied it to blemished areas, and it felt refreshing and soothing I also applied it to my face when it was dried out by the cold wind, and the redness subsided quickly 3. Blemish-soothing effect It actually helps calm blemishes. I apply it at night and in the morning, the size has reduced
Cons1. It's not an extremely powerful spot treatment. The blemish doesn't disappear completely in a day It just reduces the size to some extent But I don't want to use an overly strong product either as it irritates me So I'm quite satisfied with this product.. It's a plus point in a way
TipThe instructions say to dab it on the skin, but I just squeezed it out onto my hand and applied it, as I was concerned about hygiene.. Just for your reference^^
