Pros
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.

Pros
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!

Pros
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.

Pros
The scent is pleasant. It is not oily and absorbs quickly. It has good spreadability.
Cons
It lacks moisture for use in the winter. It seems to be a simple cream that is suitable for use in the summer. While it did not cause any breakouts, there were no particularly noticeable effects.

Pros
The texture was incredibly soft and it felt great to use it for the first time. It applies lightly, is moisturizing, and is the best moisturizing cream. I always stock up on it whenever I visit the duty-free shop.
Cons
Since I have dry skin, this product alone is not enough, especially in the winter. I need to apply a rich, oily cream on top of it.
Tip
I apply it in the morning before the meeting and it keeps my skin hydrated and my makeup from sliding off.

Pros
It included sunscreen and had good spreadability and was quite moisturizing.
Cons
The 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.

Pros
The texture is smooth and creamy, with a fluffy, whipped-like feel when applied.
Cons
It 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.

Pros
My skin is generally combination skin with a bit of sensitivity. I came across this nourishing cream and have been using it - it has great spreadability and moisturizing power, leaving my skin feeling plump and bouncy. It's not a lightweight moisturizer, but it's also not an oily cream either, it's just the right balance of a great cream.
Cons
While it doesn't cause any breakouts, it does have a bit of a pilling effect like regular nourishing creams.
Tip
I'd recommend using only a small amount in the morning. In the evening, you can apply a more generous amount. To maximize absorption, it's best to apply it right after your toner and gently pat it in.

Pros
Applies lightly and feels moisturizing. The fragrance is also good, and when applied, it feels smooth and moisturized.
Cons
Whether it's sunscreen, BB cream, or foundation, everything just slides off like mud. For days when you sweat a lot in the summer, I recommend applying it lightly before bedtime.

Pros
The 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.
Cons
1. 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
Tip
It seems that to prevent the tightness, I need to apply the essence generously, then the cream, and on top of that, another cream.
