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.

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 ^-^!!

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.

The fluid texture absorbs quickly. It's lightweight and easy to apply without feeling burdensome. It doesn't feel overly moisturized, and there's no noticeable peeling, so it seems the moisture supply is adequate. After using it for a few days, I noticed a slight breakout, but it has a soothing effect, and when I applied the basic products including the serum and then did my makeup, there was no pilling or other issues. The ingredients seem good, so it should work well for sensitive skin. (I have combination skin that is not particularly sensitive.)
ConsThere is a slight alcohol scent. It's not a strong alcohol smell, but there is a subtle alcohol note that you can detect. There's no sticky or tacky feeling. It applies with a smooth, softened sensation. It's too lightweight to be considered a true moisture barrier... It would be good as a lightweight serum for spring and summer, but it might be a bit lacking for winter use.
TipSince the texture is not burdensome, I'd recommend applying it a couple of times during these dry seasons.

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.

My skin type is dry and oily, but I would summarize that the formula is not too burdensome for oily skin. As a barrier serum, it is said to strengthen the skin barrier, but I did not see any dramatic effects from short-term use. ㅜㅜ I do light skincare before makeup in the morning, and I liked that this product quickly absorbed into the skin. Compared to the serum I used before, which was more dense, this product just sank into my skin. It didn't fully saturate my skin with moisture, but gave an adequate hydrating feeling. Ah, and I liked the cooling sensation when applying it, but the scent may be divisive. I didn't experience any breakouts or issues while using it, so I plan to continue using it consistently.
ConsI think it wouldn't be good for dry skin ㅠㅠ In the winter, it may not provide enough moisture for dry skin. I'd recommend it for oily skin types or for use before makeup!
TipIf you want a light skincare step before makeup, this could be good! I think it would be even better to use in the summer.

(The essence I was using was 400ml for 11,120 won, by the way.) You shouldn't expect dramatic moisturizing effects from just this one product. It's good for light application, and the small size and dropper-type packaging make it convenient for travel. 1. Price Luckily, I received this for free as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. Searching on Hwahae, I found it's around 16,000 won for 30ml. The price is a bit ambiguous - it's not expensive, but not a great value either. Honestly, in terms of cost-effectiveness, I can't really recommend it. The essence I was using was 400ml for 11,120 won from the G market, and while the ingredients are different, the effects felt similar to me. 2. Usage Period Used from 12/28/2018 - ongoing. The usage period is too short so far, I'll update with more feedback after finishing the product. 3. Fragrance I prefer fragrance-free the most, so I'm not a big fan of fragranced products. This has a light, floral-herbal fragrance, kind of like menthol. But it's not overpowering. 4. Texture and Application The texture is like diluted water-based gel, similar to an essence. It absorbs very well, so I ended up applying it twice. 5. Skin Reactions According to Hwahae, the ingredients are gentle. My only complaint is that they included fragrance, which is a bit disappointing. But I didn't experience any breakouts or irritation while using it. 6. Moisturizing True to its serum-like texture, it has a light, fast-absorbing feel. Don't expect dramatic moisturizing effects, but it does add a bit more hydration than a regular skin. I think this could work well for both oily and dry skin types - oily skin can use 1 layer, while dry skin can use 2 layers. Though dry skin may still find it slightly lacking in moisture.
ConsThe product has a bluish tint, so if that's an intentional color addition, I'd prefer if they removed it. And the fragrance - was it really necessary to include that? You shouldn't expect dramatic moisturizing effects from this product alone. Think of it more as a skin that's a bit more hydrating than a regular one.
TipI have dry skin, and I've included photos of the other base products I've been testing along with this one for reference.

I was worried that the transparent, runny texture would feel too heavy, but I was pleasantly surprised that the application is lightweight. When applied thinly, it gets absorbed seamlessly. I found that applying it in two layers gives a nice, bouncy glow. The moisturizing effect lasts until the next morning. Although I received this as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I would definitely purchase it again as it suits me very well.
ConsThe fragrance is a bit artificial, so I'm deducting one star. I'm not a big fan of it.. I think I would have preferred a more subtle or unscented version.:)
TipApplying just one layer might leave you wondering 'what is this?'. Try applying a thin layer first, letting it absorb, and then adding another layer on top. This will give you the most supple, bouncy 'mochi' skin texture!
