The hydration was great. The strong scent might be polarizing for some users. After using this, my skin turned red and itchy, so I had to go to the doctor. I bought it because of the good reviews, but it doesn't suit me. What a disappointment. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinJun 28, 2021
It provides just the right amount of moisture for the skin (for combination skin, it's never excessive), striking an excellent oil and moisture balance. The texture is incredibly smooth, gliding on pleasantly and absorbing well. The finish leaves your skin with a subtle, silky smoothness that's not overdone. When applied before bed, you wake up to radiant skin. It has that effect that makes you think, 'Wow, why does my skin look so good today?' For some reason, this product really irritates my eyes. They sting and feel very uncomfortable if I apply it too close to the eye area. As a result, I have to be very careful to avoid the eye area when applying. Using this product alone can leave your skin feeling dry. Despite its moderate oil content, I thought I could skip the moisturizer, but it still feels dehydrating. There's a sense of deep dryness? I'd recommend following up with a cream for the best results. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJan 24, 2021
I discovered Krave Beauty through a YouTuber and decided to give it a try. It seems to have a soothing effect when applied to skin that's really acting up. For me, it feels too rich... From the moment I apply it, I sense more oiliness than hydration, so it doesn't feel as moisturizing. The morning after using this, my face is an oil slick. Because of this, while it seems to calm major blemishes, the excess oil sometimes causes small bumps to appear on otherwise clear areas. The scent isn't particularly pleasant either, so I don't find myself using it often. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinAug 4, 2020
I really appreciated the eco-friendly packaging. Kudos to the brand for being environmentally conscious! It stings so much... When I apply it, my atopic areas become irritated and turn bright red. I spent a lot of money on this, hoping it would be suitable for sensitive skin, but I'm really frustrated. I can't see any improvements whatsoever. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJun 23, 2020
The bottle design is lovely. The texture has a universal appeal with an emulsion-like feel that suits most skin types. It absorbs well into the skin. However, it might be a bit drying for winter use. Overall, it's a decent product. I was using it consistently until suddenly my forehead broke out with tiny blemishes. I had to stop using it. It has a herbal medicine scent. Unfortunately, it seems this product didn't agree with my skin. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinMay 3, 2020
Thanks to watching plenty of product-related videos on YouTube before buying, I was a bit worried about the scent, but it turned out to be pleasant for me. I don't think this product suits my skin type. Following the usage instructions, I stopped my regular skincare routine and used only this product for about a week. Unfortunately, it led to a blemish party, so I had to discontinue use sooner than expected. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinFeb 21, 2020
As a member of The Hwahae Testers, I had high hopes for this product due to its rave reviews. However, unfortunately, it didn't suit my skin. I've used tamanu oil a few times before without any issues, so I didn't expect any problems. I guess I should have been more cautious. Since I can't write about its effectiveness for me, I'll share some general information about the product in the tips section. In conclusion, I'd recommend this to those who respond well to tamanu oil and those who want to experience its unique benefits. However, given the high concentration of specific ingredients, thorough patch testing is advisable before use. If tamanu oil works well for your skin, I'd especially recommend this for hot and humid weather when you don't want to miss out on its benefits. In cold, dry weather, applying pure tamanu oil along with other products might be sufficient. Recently, my skin has been dry, causing flaky dead skin cells on my cheeks and even itchiness. I applied this product generously, hoping it would soothe my skin, but the areas with flaking turned completely red. There was no stinging or allergic reaction, so I decided to wait and see how it would be the next day. The following morning, things seemed fine, so I washed my face and reapplied. This time, my entire face, including my forehead, turned red. I was shocked because my forehead is usually the most resilient part of my face. I immediately washed it off and applied my usual products, but it took a full four days for my skin to calm down. I suspect there must be an ingredient that doesn't agree with me. Still, I haven't given up completely. I might try it again when my skin is in better condition, and if I have a different experience, I'll come back to update my review. The texture spreads smoothly and absorbs well. Despite containing a lot of oil, it doesn't feel overly greasy. Instead, it has a nourishing feel characteristic of tamanu oil, providing an appropriate balance of oil and moisture. It might be difficult to use alone in dry seasons, but in summer, depending on your skin type, it could be sufficient on its own. I believe it contains 10% tamanu oil, which gives it a strong, distinctive scent. I personally don't mind such scents and prefer them to artificial fragrances, but it's definitely an acquired taste. Some people might find it tolerable, while others might struggle with it. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinFeb 21, 2020
~Review from The Hwahae Testers~ Absorption: Despite containing oil, it applies lightly, not thick as I expected. It has a texture that's easy to spread thinly. Absorption rate: I applied this product after thoroughly hydrating with toner. Initially, it felt oily on my face, but after 5-10 minutes, it absorbed cleanly. Since it takes up to 10 minutes for complete absorption, it might be challenging to use on busy mornings. Scent: Due to the tamanu oil, it has a herbal scent. It wasn't overwhelmingly off-putting! However, I recommend using it for night care as the scent might transfer to brushes or sponges if used before makeup. Hydration: At first application, I thought, 'Oh? This alone might be enough for hydration!' But after a while, I noticed some deep dryness. Especially for those with combination dehydrated skin like me, it might be difficult to use alone. I recommend applying it after thoroughly hydrating with the 7-skin method or essence serums. The day after applying, I broke out in tiny blemishes ㅜㅜ I thought it was a makeup cleansing issue, so I cleansed more thoroughly and used this product for about 3 more days, but the tiny bumps got worse.. Only then did I realize this product was the problem. When I returned to my usual routine, my skin calmed down.. Therefore, if you have super sensitive skin, it would be good to test it thoroughly before use! For those who find the smell of tamanu oil too overwhelming, this product might be a good option. In terms of scent, it has less of the characteristic herbal smell compared to the pure oil! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinFeb 19, 2020
The texture is between a serum and an emulsion. Since I don't typically moisturize much, I can use this after my ampoule, or even use it alone as both an ampoule and emulsion! The ingredients are great, the packaging is lovely, and it has such a fresh, healthy scent. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to agree with my skin. After applying it during the day, by evening I noticed tiny blemishes had spread all over my face. It's my fault for not patch testing on my neck or another area first, as I was too confident in the good ingredients. For reference, I used two pumps on my face. I might have applied too much... As we all know, no matter how good the ingredients are, always patch test on your neck or inner arm first. If there's no irritation, then try it on your face. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinFeb 18, 2020
I noticed my skin looked a bit brighter and felt slightly firmer. Unfortunately, it seems like it clogged my pores, as I got some blemishes on my cheeks. That was disappointing.
