Pros

If I had oily skin right now, this would be my go-to moisturizer for life. The combination of aloe, squalane, propanediol, trehalose, and sodium lactate is absolutely fantastic. It simultaneously provides skin soothing, oil control, deep hydration, sugar-derived ingredients, and moisture balance - all while carefully excluding harmful ingredients except for essential preservatives. Looking at Awesome's ingredient list, it genuinely feels like they made it for themselves or their family. You can clearly see how they've thoughtfully formulated this product to cater to oily skin without causing blemishes. Another great point about Awesome is their use of natural thickeners instead of carbomer in their products. While it's a safe choice, you'd be hard-pressed to find products this good when you look around. They've truly created products with ingredient combinations that won't cause issues even with long-term use. Personally, what I love most about Awesome is that even after applying toner, emulsion, and cream, my skin still feels like it can breathe. There's no sense of an artificial barrier being forced on, which I absolutely adore.

Cons

It's a bit of an insider secret, I suppose. Also, based on my experience, this product is really targeted for truly oily skin. For combination dehydrated skin, I'd recommend using a lot of Awesome's Aloe Vera toner and then applying a small amount of the Lemon Balm line for the emulsion and cream steps.

Tip

Insights from someone who's used various Awesome products for nearly 15 years: For oily skin prone to pustular blemishes: Omija Bubble Foam - Mix Omija line with Aloe line For oily skin: Either Asparagus Bubble Foam or Omija Bubble Foam (try both and choose what works best for you) - Aloe Vera Toner - Aloe Vera Moisturizer For combination dehydrated skin: Asparagus Bubble Foam - Aloe Vera Toner (3+ layers) - Small amount of Lemon Balm Emulsion or Lemon Balm Cream (From my experience, I felt the Lemon Balm Emulsion Cream was better for barrier protection than the Aloe moisturizer. If you have very oily combination skin, the Aloe cream might work well too) For combination or normal-to-dry skin with deep dryness (my skin type): Asparagus Bubble Foam - Aloe Vera Toner (3+ layers) - Small amount of Lemon Balm Emulsion - Generous amount of Lemon Balm Cream (I don't have much surface dryness) For normal-to-dry skin with surface dryness but no deep dryness: Asparagus Bubble Foam - Full Lemon Balm line (toner, serum, emulsion, cream) in generous amounts (I found the Lemon Balm toner to be much richer and better for surface dryness than the Aloe toner) For dry skin with severe surface dryness: Asparagus Bubble Foam - Full Lemon Balm line (toner, serum, emulsion, cream) in generous amounts, followed by mixing a few drops of Awesome Star Flower Oil into the Lemon Balm Cream and applying again

Pros

I've been using it while storing it in the refrigerator. I feel like the coolness, moisture, and nourishment are being absorbed, which I really like. It also works well for my morning makeup routine.

Cons

I would recommend storing it in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature. At room temperature, it felt a bit heavy.

Pros

This is a brand that I discovered when I started paying attention to the ingredients. I thought it might become popular on Hwahae after the platform was launched, but the number of reviews isn't that great. These days, most brands have at least one product that focuses on clean ingredients, so I ended up purchasing an easily accessible product offline and using it for over three times. When I stored it in the refrigerator, it became more dense and spreadable, making it easy to apply. It provided sufficient moisture (except in the winter), and I remember it being great to use in the mid-summer and early spring/fall. It's an Ecocert certified product, and I think the ingredients are good. The Awesome Cream comes in three varieties, and I've tried all of them as I was a frequent user of this brand even before Hwahae existed, when I started paying attention to ingredients. Oh, and they used benzyl alcohol instead of phenoxyethanol as a preservative, which I think is better than having no preservative at all.

Cons

There wasn't really anything bad. If I had to nitpick, maybe the absorption was a bit slow? But to have faster absorption, they would have had to add more ingredients, so I think this is better.

Pros

The texture may be a bit lacking, but it has great moisture and is very gentle, which I really like. It's non-irritating, so it's great for sensitive skin as well.

Cons

Since it's an organic product, the texture and functionality are a bit lacking.

Pros

It's really mild, mild, and mild!! There's no irritation at all haha. It has good moisture and isn't too oily! The Madecassoside scent is wafting, but I think that was fine too! It feels like it's doing something good for the skin..haha

Cons

If you don't properly do the base skincare steps before the cream, dry skin types will feel a bit dry. Especially in the winter! But if the base gets a bit thicker, the base makeup will definitely smudge for me..ㅜㅜㅠㅠㅠ That's why I use it at night..ㅜㅜ During the day, I use something lighter that doesn't smudge

Tip

When you store it in the fridge, it becomes like pudding! Absorption is faster, but it's really hard to scoop out with a spatula..ㅎ

Pros

My 7-year-old daughter's dry atopic symptoms have been gradually worsening, so I've been looking into various options. I came across the Hwahae app and am quite satisfied with the product. The ingredients are reassuring, and while absorption may be slightly slower, massaging it in helps improve absorption. I've noticed a decrease in itchiness since using it, so I plan to continue using this product.

Cons

The volume is a bit disappointing. While it doesn't need to be a large size, it would be great if the volume could be increased a bit.

Tip

I first apply a regular moisturizing lotion, then I only apply this product to the areas with particularly severe itchiness.

Pros

It's really gentle. It feels like my skin is breathing. This is the first time I've had this feeling.

Cons

There is some whitening. It gets better if you keep patting it, but it was frustrating in the mornings when I was in a hurry.

Pros

A moisturizing cream that's great for light application in the summer! The awesome Aloe line is all moisturizing and non-irritating, so it's a product I keep using, but in the winter it can be a bit dry. However, it absorbs quickly and doesn't feel sticky, so it's a great product in every way.

Cons

The price feels a bit high. It would be nice if the volume was a bit larger.

Pros

This is highly recommended for people with sensitive skin! I used to avoid using moisturizers because whenever I applied them, my skin would feel sticky and my pores would clog up the next day. But this product is truly amazing... When I apply it, my skin feels so comfortable, and it's not at all sticky on the surface - it leaves my skin with a nice, light, fluffy texture. I can't even begin to describe how great this is. The calming effect is also incredible, likely due to the aloe vera ingredient - any redness or blemishes on my face are instantly soothed after using this. Honestly, the fact that it helps regulate oil production is reason enough for me to repurchase this a hundred times over.

Cons

Is this really unscented? It has a bit of an ointment-like smell, and the texture also feels a bit like an ointment. It's also not the most quickly absorbing product.ㅋㅋㅋ So it can be a bit of a hassle to apply. But once I gently pat it into my skin, my complexion becomes so incredibly comfortable, and I feel amazing after the full absorption.

Tip

It's best to store this in the refrigerator. ㅇㅂㅇ The texture turns into a pudding-like consistency. It's no secret that it's a bit tricky to scoop out with a spoon. This is definitely the most inconvenient part about using this product.

Pros

It's great for writing in the evenings during the summer, and when it's like this in the winter, mixing it with a little face oil works really well!! I have acne-prone skin, and when I use products that don't suit me, the reaction shows up quickly, but I've been using this consistently for 2 bottles now without any such reaction.

Cons

Especially in the summer, it absorbs a bit more slowly compared to other products, but as long as you massage it in a bit more, there's not really any inconvenience.

Tip

I have combination skin that's dehydrated, so it feels a little lacking, especially in the winter, but if I use a little less for the first application and then mix it with a face oil for the second, it seems to work well for my skin.
