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.

Personally, I prefer the dropper method for serums, and this was convenient to use because of the dropper. The best feature of this product is its fast absorption. It absorbs smoothly without any greasy or heavy feeling, and it leaves a slightly tightening sensation on the skin. It seemed to work well for me without causing any breakouts. I layered it as Skin - This Serum - My usual Firming Cream and Moisturizer.
ConsThere is no moisturizing effect. Since the intention of this serum seems to be about firmness, it may not be suitable for those who don't use a separate moisturizer and just use the serum. The packaging is not my preference. It's not printed but has a sticker, which makes it feel a bit cheap, though the price point is not extremely low. If the fragrance was intentionally added, I think it would be better without it. The slight bluish tint also felt a bit questionable to me. This was a product I received as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. I think I can finish the bottle without much trouble, but if you asked me to buy it with my own money, I'd say it's so-so.
TipApplying it multiple times with some time in between can make it even better.

ConsSince I have sensitive skin with acne and unclear whether it's dry or combination, I was very worried about testing this product. But it didn't cause any breakouts! However, while it claims to strengthen the skin's moisture barrier, I don't really feel like my skin's moisture or barrier has been significantly improved just by using this product. Honestly, I would much more recommend the Innisfree Green Tea Serum instead!! Using this doesn't make my breakouts go away, and it's kind of ambiguous... 😂 And my skin still feels a bit dry.
TipIt's good for reducing skin irritation, and it becomes refreshing even without refrigeration, so it's nice to use after toner! If you absorb it several times, it does provide a certain level of moisture.

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 don't have any skin troubles, and my wrinkles and pores are less than my age, but my skin tone is a bit dull and dark. After opening, the fragrance is a mild and subtle lavender scent. The product itself is a light sky-blue color. ♧Spreadability and Absorption After applying a few drops to my face and spreading it, the product absorbs quickly and leaves a lightweight feel. Gently patting it in, there is a slight tackiness, but it's not uncomfortable. As someone who dislikes stickiness, I'm satisfied with this product. Highly moisturizing products can feel heavy, but this one is light and refreshing. ♧Texture It's not as runny as to drip down, but has a moderate viscosity. ♧Moisturizing Power As someone with sensitive skin, this was my main concern. To test the moisturizing, I used only this product (no toner) for 3 days while doing my makeup. At first, I wasn't sure, but by the second day, I noticed less tightness. Many 24-hour or 48-hour moisturizers are on the market, but this product doesn't seem to have that level of hydration. For my skin type, I think this would be perfect for spring and fall. It helps strengthen the skin barrier. I've been using it since receiving it 29 days ago, and my skin has been trouble-free.
ConsFor my skin type, the moisturizing power is a bit lacking. But it seems like a good product if you don't have sensitive skin.
TipUsing a sheet mask 2-3 times a week and then applying this product boosts the moisturizing power and reduces tightness significantly. Nowadays, I also use this in combination with other moisturizing products. And of course, drinking plenty of water is the foundation for skin hydration. Overall, this product has a lightweight, easily absorbable texture and helps with moisturizing and strengthening the skin barrier.

And since they say the arch-nemesis of wrinkles is dryness, with the internal dryness gone, my skin feels relatively more plump, so I've been less worried about my nasolabial folds!
Cons👉Spreadability The spreadability was a bit disappointing. I like to massage the products into my face, but as soon as I tried to work it in, it became a bit sticky, making my hands work harder. (However, applying a larger amount doesn't seem to be a major issue.) 👉Hydration, moisture If you look at the updated routine, I switched to a different moisturizer in the middle. Using the Biotherm Aquasource Gel (low in oil) as the final step, it really just addressed the internal dryness without leaving a greasy feeling. But the surface of my skin still felt dry, so I ended up switching to a more emollient cream. In short, the product itself didn't give me a very hydrating, moisturizing sensation. (This was actually the most disappointing aspect - even after applying the cream, there wasn't much of a dewy glow, just a soft, velvety finish. That's why I ended up using my usual oil to complete my routine.) 👉The day after first using it, I did get a few small blemishes on my cheeks, but they went away without any major issues!
TipApply it twice, everyone! I was able to resolve the internal dryness~ For the rest, you can finish off with a cream or oil that suits your skin type and the season, which should help balance the internal and external hydration. And when applying, don't put it on your hands first - dispense it directly onto your face and spread it out section by section, that way it'll apply more evenly.

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 skin type is combination, but the formula is much more watery and fluid-like compared to a regular ampoule. It flows down quite smoothly, and unlike many other ampoules where the dropper doesn't come out easily, this one dispenses very well. I even feel like it might leak a bit (anxious). The moisturizing effect is just so-so, and I didn't experience any breakouts or blemishes. I think oily skin types would benefit from this product. There's no heavy or suffocating feeling when applying it.
ConsThe box is big enough to fit 10 ampoules! The scent is too strong, so those with sensitive skin should consider it carefully. Even when applied to the face, the fragrance is quite overpowering. I'm currently using the Beplain Cicapull, which is almost fragrance-free, so this was quite jarring. In terms of texture, it's like a gel-type cream, so the moisturizing effect isn't that great. In the biting cold of winter, it's barely effective...
TipStoring it in the refrigerator and using it makes it feel refreshing.
