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^-^

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.Pros*Hwahae Trial Reviewer's Review First of all, I have sensitive skin with only the U-zone being dry, which is a combination skin type. 1. I liked that it comes in a dropper format, making it easy to use. The texture is quite thick, so I thought I might use it excessively, but after using it for about a week, I realized that wasn't really the case! 2. The application was smooth. I applied it to my cheeks and forehead, and then mixed it with a moisturizing gel, so I didn't feel it was as sticky as some others have described. 3. There was a noticeable difference between the days I used it and the days I didn't. It definitely helped with the dryness. However, it couldn't withstand the winter winds and heater air. By the afternoon, I had to apply an additional lotion. Right after application, my skin does have a nice glow! 4. I didn't experience any itchiness or breakouts after using it. Later, I checked the ingredients and saw there were some potential irritants.
Cons1. The packaging feels a bit toy-like, and the dropper part doesn't come out easily. I'm not sure if this was intentional to reduce air exposure, but it was a bit inconvenient. 2. I prefer fragrance-free products, but this one has a rather strong scent that is typical of cosmetics. Those who are sensitive to fragrances should keep this in mind. 3. While it helps with dryness better than some, it doesn't completely eliminate it. Oily-skinned individuals may be able to use this alone in the summer.
TipAfter showering, I applied a good amount of the serum and then just used one moisturizer, and my skin felt really hydrated and great. I also used a generous amount before a sheet mask, and the combination worked really well.

For some reason, when I spray a thin skin or mist on my face, my face tends to sting, but this one didn't have that. It's more moisturizing than before applying.
ConsThe scent is crazy ㄹㅇ it's toxic ㅠ The scent is really bad and annoying (it's the same as the 500 won pore cleansing pad from Daiso) And the amount is too little. Of course, it's a serum, so it would be small, but this feels more like a skin than a serum, so I used it up in about 2 weeks. I think the price-to-performance ratio is really bad.

It felt like it was gently protecting my skin, so I made sure to apply it morning and evening.
ConsAlthough it didn't contain alcohol, I detected an alcohol-like scent... ㅠㅠ The fragrance was familiar but not very comfortable... It might be from the fragrances.
TipSince my skin is oily, I would just use this product alone to finish my daytime routine and then apply makeup. At night, I would mix it with a similar effect cream and apply a lighter layer of the cream. Even though I had the cream, I couldn't use it easily due to the oiliness, but by mixing in a bit of the serum, I was able to get the cream effect lightly.

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.

It has a viscous texture, so it applies well and absorbs quickly, allowing me to complete my skincare routine up to the cream stage quickly. :) I needed to apply it twice, as one application wasn't enough for me!! Most importantly, using the serum gave me a sense of my skin being replenished haha. These days, it's too dry to use on its own, but it's fine if I use a cream as well!
ConsThose who prefer unscented products may find the fragrance to be quite sensitive. It has a slightly refreshing scent, which I personally like, and it didn't feel too strong as I used it, but the preference may vary. Since I applied it generously, twice each time, the product seemed to run out rather quickly.
TipAs it has a viscous texture, you can use it like a mask by applying it to dry areas and letting it soak in, which can provide a nourishing effect.

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).

I've seen some YouTuber skincare videos where they said that if your skin feels a bit cool before applying a heavy cream, it means the skincare product is absorbing well. I definitely felt that with this product. When I apply it to the back of my hand, it feels cool all the way through, which shows how great the absorption is. I have dry skin, so I always struggle with skincare products not reaching the innermost layers of my skin. Especially in the winter, my face feels so dry in the mornings, like someone blew a hair dryer on it. But after using this product, I didn't feel that tightness in the morning! The moisturizing power is really impressive. In terms of price, it's just average - not too expensive, not too cheap... If the fragrance wasn't so strong, I would have repurchased this.
ConsThe fragrance is insanely strong. I'm very sensitive to scents, and I only use hand creams with fragrances I'm used to. When someone sprays perfume near me, I immediately get a headache. This product's fragrance is really, really painful... Just 3 minutes of smelling it in the car made me feel nauseous. The scent is so strong that I have to breathe through my mouth while applying this serum, and then quickly layer other skincare products on top to help tone it down a bit. Even then, it's still quite overpowering. I had to take away 2 stars out of 5 just because of the fragrance. If it was unscented, it would be a 5-star product for me.
TipI apply this product first, then the Laneige Cream Skin, and finally the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume. That way, my skin doesn't feel tight in the mornings, and it's just wonderful. I highly recommend this to anyone who isn't sensitive to fragrances!

The formula is great for applying after cleansing, as a toner substitute. After application, it leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. It flows smoothly, not watery but slightly thick in texture. It doesn't feel heavy or rich when applied, though. It's easy to apply lightly. I generally prefer lightweight formulas and like the dropper-type packaging, so I use this product frequently. It seems to work well with 2 or so layers of application. It absorbs nicely.
ConsThe scent is too strong... It has a masculine skincare-like smell. And the serum is blue in color, but I think it would have been better if they hadn't added the fragrance and color.
