I've been applying it generously lately as my skin has been getting dry. After application, there is a slight tackiness that eventually absorbs, leaving my skin feeling moisturized and soft. Since this is a brand I've come to trust with their sunscreen, I've been trying out their other products as well.
ConsUsing it generously, I feel like I'll be running out of it soon. While the packaging is visually appealing, I think more attention could be paid to the quality aspects rather than just the exterior design.

Here is my review. I have naturally dry skin, so in the morning I use a water-based cleanse, followed by a hyaluronic acid toner, the Dewytree barrier serum, and the Dr.G barrier cream for dry skin. In the evenings, I do a 1st cleanse with cleansing oil, a 2nd cleanse with a mild pH cleansing gel, then use the hyaluronic acid toner and a face mask for maintenance. Even if I don't get enough sleep or have a little alcohol, I tend to get small bumps around the corners of my mouth and cheeks due to extreme dryness, though it's not cystic or inflammatory acne. My skin also gets quite red and sensitive after cleansing. Normally I'd give a product 50 points if it doesn't cause any breakouts, but this one starts off with 50 points! Other skin barrier products I've tried tend to clog my pores and cause whiteheads, even if they don't dry out my skin. But this one doesn't do that. I think it's because the formula is more lightweight and watery, not as heavy and occlusive. Looking at the ingredients, aside from the fragrance, there don't seem to be any obvious irritants or pore-clogging components. So for people like me who struggle with that film-forming issue, you can use this worry-free.
ConsAs mentioned earlier, the fragrance is quite strong! You can really smell it as soon as you open the product. To me, it has a floral scent. Those sensitive to strong fragrances may want to avoid this. I've been using this serum along with a separate skin barrier cream, and I feel like that synergistic effect has been quite good. However, I don't think the serum alone is enough for complete barrier repair. The formula seems more absorbent rather than leaving a surface film, so the effects aren't immediately noticeable. I'd recommend pairing it with an appropriate cream product for best results.
TipMy personal routine of using the Dewytree barrier serum along with the Dr.G barrier cream has been working quite well for me.

Even though my skin gets extremely dry and lacking in oil in the winter, I had to use 2 full droppers on my face, and it still absorbed well. After absorption, the remaining serum on the surface of my skin kept my skin supple and moisturized. There was a slight tackiness, but since I applied a lot and then a thin layer of cream on top, it wasn't an issue at all. No tightness!!! The difference between the days I used it and didn't was very noticeable. In the morning, my skin wasn't dull and lifeless, but soft and dewy instead. Even with the generous amount I used, I didn't get a single blemish. 99.9999% chance I will repurchase (the 0.1% is the habit of a cosmetic nomad ㅋㅋ)
ConsOther people said the fragrance was not great, but I barely noticed any fragrance at all. And they said it was lightweight, but with the 2 droppers I used, I didn't find it lightweight at all.
TipUse a generous amount! I used 2 droppers and massaged it in with a beauty tool, then pressed the areas that didn't absorb as well with my warm hands and finished with a cream. After your 4-skin routine, apply this with 2 droppers and a thin layer of cream, and you'll have a supple, moisturized, and non-drying skin the next day^-^

The adorable case was so cute that I couldn't wait to open it and try it out. On the first day, it felt a bit lightweight, but on the second day, the texture was slightly heavier and not too runny. I applied it generously. That way, it felt a bit more dense and bouncy! Since it's for dry skin, there was a lot of visible flakiness when I was putting on makeup, but after applying the serum and letting it absorb a bit, and then putting on the cream, it was just perfect. Haha As it's a moisturizing product, it didn't feel tight or dry quickly, and my skin felt hydrated all the way through. I don't want to be stingy with it, but a little goes a long way, so it'll last a while. Haha
ConsThe scent was one I didn't like ㅠ Since I'm sensitive to smells, I prefer unscented or very subtle scents, and this was a bit strong for my liking.. But I guess it's a personal preference! The scent was the only thing I was a bit disappointed about.
TipI wasn't stingy with it and applied it all over my face, even around the eye area and on the sides of my cheeks. I patted it in thoroughly, even on my forehead. After applying it all over, I gently pressed it in with my palms. Just swiping it on top doesn't really help it absorb, so taking the time to press it in is better for dry skin types.

However, there's no moisturizing feeling? It's not dry, but something seems to be lacking.. For the current weather, using this alone might not be enough. I think it would be better to use it together with my usual product (using it alone, you might not get that dewy glow, but there is an instant moisturizing effect. The finish is powdery!) It has more of a powdery than moisturizing feel, so it might be good to use in the summer.
ConsI'm not sure if the price is appropriate. At first, the scent was a bit off-putting, but using it, the scent doesn't seem as strong as I thought (maybe I got used to it..?) It doesn't seem suitable for dry weather (winter use).

Haha I received the delivery and used it for 2 weeks! Spreadability: ❤️❤️❤️❤️, It looks viscous, and since it's called a serum, I thought it would be heavy, but when I apply it, the formula transforms into a watery one, so it applies refreshingly! Absorption: ❤️❤️❤️❤️, With its lightweight formula, it absorbed quickly and didn't feel sticky at all! Moisturizing Power: ❤️❤️❤️, I was a bit dry though ㅜㅜ
ConsI had high expectations that it would provide moisture to my dry skin, but ㅠㅠ it was still dry... ㅜ ㅜ ㅜㅜㅜ!! After using it, I started getting a pimple or two! I thought it might be an adjustment period, but even after using it for about 2 weeks, the pimples kept coming up... I guess it just didn't work for me 😭
TipI couldn't find any useful tips while using it ㅠㅠ ㅜㅜ The scent was subtle and nice, and the dropper format was hygienic, which I liked ^-^!!

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.ProsThe Hwahae Trial Reviewer review! First, let me tell you how I used it. My skin was really dry, so I was only using the Dokdo lotion for my skincare routine. When I would walk from the bathroom to the vanity, I felt very dry, so I would take this serum with me, wipe off the excess moisture, and then apply two drops to my cheeks, one drop to my forehead, nose, and chin. Then when I got to the vanity, I would apply it again in the same way, and also apply the Dokdo lotion twice. I do this both morning and night! <Benefit 1 - Fast absorption, non-sticky freshness> I have oily skin with a bit of dryness, and I'm prone to acne. So if my basic skincare routine gets too thick or heavy, I tend to get those small bumps on my face. That's why I like to layer on lighter products, and this was the perfect product for that! What surprised me at first was the fast absorption and how it managed to address the dryness without feeling heavy. As you can see in the photo, it has a slightly viscous, flowing texture, not completely watery! For someone like me with oily skin and mild dryness, applying it twice helps with the dryness, but for those with very dry, dehydrated skin, it may not be as effective. <Benefit 2 - Skin improvement> I don't know if it's because it helped with the dryness, or if it's living up to its name as a "barrier serum", but my skin has really improved a lot!! I don't have any breakouts at all right now, and my boyfriend says my skin looks so much better too. I'm really satisfied with this aspect. <Benefit 3 - Packaging, scent> First of all, the packaging is really pretty in my opinion. The sky blue color with the diamond-patterned texture looks nice, and I also like that the serum itself is a sky blue color. The scent is not too strong, which is perfect for me.
ConsAs for the downsides, I can summarize them briefly. First, sometimes after applying it, my skin can get a bit patchy and white. While my skin has improved a lot, when I use this product, my cheeks (I have a slight redness on the front of my cheeks) tend to get a bit more reddened. But since the improvements outweigh the issues, and I don't get any breakouts, I mentioned the skin changes as one of the benefits above.
TipI would recommend this to those with oily skin that's not severely dehydrated, who prefer to layer on lightweight products!

Moisturizing - It provides lightweight moisture replenishment without oiliness. Effects - I didn't experience a calming effect, but in the winter when my skin is sensitive and tends to break out from most products, I didn't have any trouble. Scent - It has a faint, refreshing fragrance. I'm sensitive to scents, but it wasn't bothersome.
ConsMoisturizing - Even though my skin isn't dry, I felt the moisturizing power was a bit weak, especially in the winter. I added this serum to my usual skincare routine, but I didn't really feel my skin became more hydrated. Effects - As a serum with calming ingredients, I unfortunately didn't see any effects. Packaging - The glass bottle is heavy and could break if dropped, but it's better for the environment than plastic.
TipI'd recommend this more for oily/combination skin types in the summer rather than dry skin in the winter.

I applied them morning and evening, and in the evening, I applied them generously. The most noticeable change is that my skin has become smoother and more moisturized. Before using the product, I had a lot of bumpy skin that many dry skin types experience, and those uneven textures have largely disappeared, and my makeup doesn't look patchy anymore and has become smooth! The fragrance and the feel of the product were also not bad!
ConsSince it's winter, I've been applying the cosmetics generously, and a third of the bottle is gone in ten days. I feel like I'm using it a bit excessively, but it might be good to increase the volume per bottle.

Texture: The texture was not heavy like water, which I really liked, and it was also easy to use. 2. Absorption: The absorption was good. 3. Feel: It didn't feel sticky or tacky, and after it was absorbed, there was no lingering feeling on my face, which I liked. The moisturizing effect also seemed to be good. When I applied it, I didn't feel a strong moisturizing sensation, but after applying, my skin didn't feel dry, and the moisture seemed to be maintained. Fragrance: The fragrance is something that may be divisive. Personally, I didn't like the fragrance. I've lent it to someone else before, and they said it was fine. And they said it absorbs quickly, so it's convenient to apply something on top. I also didn't have any issues with it when applying something on top, and there was no pilling or uneven absorption.
ConsEverything else was fine, but a few days ago, I started getting breakouts. It was quite a lot, so I thought maybe my skin has become more sensitive lately. But recently, from yesterday, the day before, and the day before that, when I applied it to my face, it stung. It wasn't a stinging sensation all over my face, but mainly on my cheeks, and my cheeks became flushed. I looked into it, and the only risk factor was the fragrance. I'm not sure if it's because of the fragrance or if there's an ingredient that doesn't agree with me, but this is the first time I've experienced so many breakouts and a stinging sensation, so I was surprised. However, this is just my personal experience, and it may be different for others. I'll use it for a few more days, and if it still doesn't work for me, I'll stop using it. If it's fine, I'll write an additional review. I don't have a strong overall impression yet.
TipI'm still not sure. I'll let you know if I find out!
