ConsBut 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.

ConsMy skin is quite sensitive, especially around my eyes! But when I first applied this product to my face, it stung. And two days after using it (along with a cleansing product I bought), the area around my eyes gradually turned red and my skin flipped out. I stopped using it just in case, and it got better. It was a product recommended to me at the department store, but I'm about to just throw it away after only two weeks. 😢

ConsThe area around my eyes and forehead all turned red, so I applied it 3 times and stopped. My husband didn't have any trouble and just used it all up, but even his eyes and the sides turned red.

ConsIt stung intensely within 10 seconds of application, and most of all, it was extremely painful when it got in my eyes. It's a facial cream, but it irritated my eyes.

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 spreadability is good. I usually use the Primera moisture cream, and this one spreads similarly well. After applying, it feels like a protective layer has been put on.
Cons1. Stinging sensation when applied: The Kiehl's moisture cream also did this, and the Kiehl's store employee said that it happens when the skin is dry; but the stinging sensation is still unpleasant and disliked. 2. Makeup doesn't apply well: Even when applying the right amount, the makeup often slides off like when applying BB cream ㅠㅠ 3. Tightness: I have a combination skin type, but I've started feeling a tightness that I didn't used to feel... After applying the right amount and doing my makeup to go to work, my face feels extremely dry before lunchtime ㅠㅠ
TipIt seems that to prevent the tightness, I need to apply the essence generously, then the cream, and on top of that, another cream.

The scent is quite strong, like a perfume? It may be divisive. The texture is very lightweight and seems suitable for summer use. Recommended for those with oily or combination skin.
ConsAs I have quite dry and sensitive skin, I felt tightness on my face shortly after application, and the strong scent even gave me a headache. My skin also broke out in serious blemishes due to the dryness... Not recommended for dry skin types. I tried mixing it with oil, but it still felt like it wasn't absorbing well into my face.
