When the product looks nice and feels right, it seems like the skin will improve.
Cons
But it's a shortcut to ruining the skin. The pores get clogged so badly that acne pops up in the blocked pores. The more you use it, the more it feels like crossing a river you can't come back from. At first, you don't know, and you keep using it, and by the time you've used most of it, you realize it and throw it in the trash. It's not even moisturizing - the inner dryness is still extreme.

I have been using the Vitamin Booster Cream Body Lotion Perfume and I really enjoy using various products. For my dry and sensitive skin, this product has been very satisfactory in terms of providing good moisture and a creamy texture that I prefer. It absorbs well, and since my skin tends to absorb products quickly, I generally prefer thicker, more viscous toners, serums, etc. I apply it morning and night, and it maintains sufficient moisture. When I apply it in the evening and go to sleep, I can feel the oiliness return to my face in the morning, which I like.
Cons
The downside is the small volume, but it lasts a long time. Also, the jar packaging is inconvenient. The floral scent may be divisive - personally, I'm not a big fan of floral fragrances. While it's subtle, there are times when the scent can be irritating and give me a headache, so I sometimes skip using it.

It has a smooth application and is fragrance-free, so it would be great for those who don't like strong scents.
Cons
The only downside might be the price point. Additionally, the brand is relatively new to the Korean market, so it can be difficult to find.

This is a product I always buy when going to the duty-free shop. I love using this because it applies smoothly and my makeup looks great when I wear it!
Cons
After checking on Hwahae, I found that this product contains 5 harmful ingredients... I didn't know that...
Tip
It's a must-use before applying makeup!

The scent is nice and dissipates quickly. The texture is in the middle, not too watery or like butter cream, but you can feel both moisture and oiliness at the same time.
Cons
It feels heavy on oily acne-prone skin, so it's quite disappointing. I managed to use it in the winter, but it was difficult to use in the summer.

The moisturizer cream seems to be the best. Since I have sensitive skin, even when I use Kiehl's, I get a few pimples, so I used to use pharmacy products, but ever since Philosophy came to Korea, this is the only one I use.
Cons
The disappointing part is that I wish Hoffen Inja Night had also been made with these ingredients. When I use the Night, something else comes out again.

My oily skin absorbs this product really well. There's no sticky residue at all, and I've been using it for over two weeks now. My acne has decreased significantly and my skin tone has improved noticeably.
Cons
I'm not sure why, but my face feels a bit stinging and irritated. I bought this as a moisturizer, but even though I have very oily skin, it leaves a drying feeling, so I'm planning to get a separate morning moisturizer.

I had purchased a peeling product and received a 15ml mini size, which I had set aside. Coincidentally, my moisturizer had run out, so I ended up using it. Recently, I've been dealing with blackheads, whiteheads, and adult acne, so I've been visiting a dermatologist. I've been using the toner and essence products purchased from the dermatologist, and for the cream step, I've been using this product. At first, the texture was slightly thick, like butter, but the spreadability was good, and the scent was more floral and subtle than artificial. The texture is between a gel and a rich, nourishing cream, and it melts into the skin and absorbs well, providing long-lasting hydration. That's why I decided to purchase it through the Hwahae shopping platform at a good price. When I bought the cream, they also gave me two tube samples of the same product, which is great for portability.
Cons
Although it's a jar-type product and has a middle cover, it's more difficult to use hygienically compared to a tube. There's no spatula, so you have to scoop it out with your fingers or purchase a separate spatula to apply it.

I didn't have any particular issues. If anything, it was a bit of a relief that I was able to purchase it at a slightly discounted price when sold as a set with a night cream. I won't be buying this cream again. It may be different for oily skin types, but I have dry skin.
Cons
Despite applying an essence beforehand to prevent tightness, this cream was still too dry and tight for my dry skin. After applying it and doing my makeup, the cream would ball up and flake off like eraser dust. I would say this is an eye-irritating product that those with sensitive eyes should avoid.

It was moisturizing and had a pleasant scent. It was not sticky.
Cons
It was a bit too light for dry skin, so it needs to be used together with another cream.
