I'd recommend it for those who respond well to mugwort.
ConsMugwort doesn't seem to suit me particularly well, as I don't really feel a calming effect...

The subtle fragrance brings a sense of calm (I usually avoid products with added fragrances, but when my skin is distressed, this somehow provides comfort). 2. It has a soothing effect and lightly replenishes moisture (for combination dehydrated skin). 2-1. Especially for calming redness and addressing issues that aren't related to dead skin cells or hydration, I find using this (focusing on problem areas & all over) along with a mugwort cream (just on spots) works well for me.
Cons1. It doesn't have an extraordinary soothing effect. I've had a journey from acne-prone skin to using acne products, which led to dry, sensitive, and red skin. After dermatological treatments, my skin became extremely sensitive and irritated - I could only use aloe gel. Then I discovered Hwahae and started trying samples of products without ingredients that don't suit me or are harmful, gradually finding what works. Now, when I find a brand that suits me, I stick to their products. (Even within a brand, I'll use samples multiple times to ensure compatibility.) I've been using ISNTREE and Etude Soon Jung for several years, and my skin has become much healthier. 2. It's expensive. That's why I bought it during ISNTREE's brand week on Hwahae, using coupons and points. They used to have big sales on their official website regularly, but lately, even their occasional sales are only 20-30% off, which I find a bit... well, it feels expensive to me.
TipWell, I seem to have mixed my thoughts above... If you have super sensitive skin like me, I recommend trying samples or the smallest size of any brand to find products that work for 'you' personally. (Don't be swayed by criteria like 'This is famous' or 'This sells well' or 'This is supposed to be effective'. Of course, you can try if it doesn't have ingredients that don't suit you or any harmful ingredients, and if Hwahae reviews from people with similar skin types are positive. I once tried a sample of a famous brand's cica cream and had an allergic reaction like a bee sting, even though the ingredients seemed fine...)

It's perfect for morning application and doesn't leave any sticky feeling.
ConsDue to the dropper bottle design, it might be difficult to use when you're getting to the bottom of the product.

Plus, it didn't cause any blemishes and seemed to provide just the right amount of hydration!
ConsI can't say I found anything particularly disappointing while using this product!

It was exactly the right consistency for an ampoule!!!
ConsFor me, the soothing effect wasn't particularly dramatic.... However, it did seem to prevent any further blemishes from appearing???

It feels like it quietly does its job! I intend to repurchase.
ConsI didn't find any particular drawbacks. If I had to mention something, maybe the price?
TipWhen you have blemishes, mix a few drops with your foundation. It prevents further breakouts and soothes the skin.

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.Pros1. I really prioritize ingredients, and this product contains 85% mugwort extract instead of purified water, which made me confident in my purchase. 2. The secondary ingredients are all gentle and include components beneficial for sensitive skin (like panthenol, betaine, etc.). 3. It has a water-like texture with no oiliness, making it easy to apply lightly and it absorbs well. Great for summer use! 4. It's excellent for calming redness and blemishes. Highly recommended for sensitive and acne-prone skin! + I'm already on my third bottle!
Cons1. The downside is that due to its lightweight formula, those with dry skin might need to purchase a separate moisturizer for additional hydration. 2. When using the dropper, be careful as the water-like consistency can easily drip. Other than that, everything else is great, so I plan to keep purchasing and using it!
TipI recommend stocking up on multiple bottles during sales as the individual price point is on the higher side. For an enhanced soothing effect, try storing it in the refrigerator and applying it cool. There's a mask pack in the same line - it might be good to try that first to see if it suits your skin type!

I only get cystic acne during my period, but I usually have small bumps on my skin. Effectiveness: When I first started using it, my cystic acne noticeably faded! While it didn't completely eliminate my small bumps, it did reduce them slightly. Suitability: It has a light texture that isn't too heavy, making it great for dry skin types in summer. For those with oily skin, it provides just enough moisture, making it perfect for winter use when you need that extra hydration.
ConsOiliness: The product has some oil content, which might cause blemishes for those with oily skin if used in summer. Price: The price is quite steep - 32,000 won for just 50ml. I'm not sure if the effects justify the cost. Long-term effectiveness: While it showed promising results initially, the effectiveness seemed to diminish over time, eventually becoming barely noticeable.
TipThis soothing ampoule is great for oily skin types in winter and dry skin types in summer! Also, it pairs excellently with the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence. They're often sold together at Olive Young for 30,000 won as a set. I highly recommend trying them together for the best results!

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.ProsThis is a lightweight soothing ampoule that's perfect for use after toner in any season. Its water-based formula feels light on the skin. Follow up with other functional ampoules and creams for best results. It's great for layering multiple times. I find myself reaching for it more often in summer than in fall or winter.
ConsIf you're not a fan of ultra-light water-based ampoules, you might be disappointed. It offers minimal richness and hydration.
TipI apply it once after toner, let it absorb, then layer it again for maximum effect.
