The application is a bit dense and has a firm texture, so I felt assured by the ingredients, and after using it for about 2 weeks, I saw results as expected! I'm really glad the effects worked, especially since it's summer.
ConsIf there had been a diffuser, it would have been used more hygienically.

The texture is very soft and smooth when applied. I'm not sure exactly what the scent is, but it's a familiar one that I've often smelled in regular creams, so I don't have any aversion to it. After applying, it doesn't feel sticky at all, and my skin feels smooth and supple. I think the lack of stickiness is the biggest advantage. If a product feels sticky when applied, it's really annoying. Since the product applies so smoothly, I find myself using it frequently, and with consistent use, my skin has become more moisturized. I've noticed a real improvement in skin elasticity. For example, I have a habit of kneeling on the floor or squatting in front of a desk, and that would cause my skin to sag and wrinkle a bit. But those wrinkles have disappeared, and my skin looks brighter - it's really amazing every time I see it! This product is just so good. And the packaging is a matte coating, so even when the cream gets on your hands, it doesn't slip. It's a game-changer! (Goodbye, my old moisturizer) It's also said to be free of parabens and alcohol, and it's not sticky or oily, so I think it would work for most skin types. But there may be some people who have issues with the ingredients, I suppose.
ConsI can't really think of any downsides. Ah, the only thing is that since it's free of parabens and alcohol, the shelf life after opening is only about 6 months. But I think that's still much better than having questionable ingredients, so I'm okay with it.
TipIt's not just a simple cream to slather on your body. Since the cream is moisturizing but not oily, you can mix it with foundation or BB cream and apply it for a nice makeup look! You can get the moisturizing benefits while also boosting the brightening effects!

Cons• Like most creams, if you apply it too thickly, it can cause makeup to slide. Just apply an appropriate amount and pat it into the skin, and it'll be fine! • It doesn't brighten dramatically like the ads, even though I saw a lot of positive reviews and had high expectations. But this level of improvement is still good, I think.

It seems like it would be good to apply after a moisturizer, but I first read reviews saying it causes breakouts, so I only applied this product before bed and didn't use anything else, and even though I have very dry skin, I didn't experience any tightness at all! The whitening effect was definitely noticeable! The before and after photos show a more visible difference than I could see day-to-day. (By the way, the elbows are not dirty, they've just become darkened from frequent scraping.) The set is well-composed!! When I opened the delivery, there was an instruction manual, samples, and the main product, and the sample selection was thoughtful and made me feel good about the purchase!! The product ingredients seem gentle! I've heard that whitening creams usually have harsh ingredients, but this one didn't irritate my very atopic skin at all and didn't cause any itchiness or redness. The volume and applicable areas are generous, and the effects are good! (There were some differences by area) In my case, I applied it to my entire neck, elbows, knees, ankles, and face, and excluding the face, the other areas definitely looked brighter, if not necessarily whiter.
ConsI did experience breakouts around my face! As I mentioned in the positive points, I was only using the whitening cream, but around the 4th or 5th day of use, I started getting hives on my right cheek. Even though I was using this product at night and a post-blemish care serum in the morning to try to calm the breakouts, the blemishes kept coming, so I immediately stopped using it on my face! - Honestly, aside from the breakouts, I didn't have any other significant downsides!
TipTip #1 is a blemish serum💕. In my case, my skin is quite sensitive, so the breakouts may have been due to that, but using a blemish-calming serum meant I didn't experience any itchiness or other issues! Tip #2 is a moisturizer💕. As someone with very dry skin, I tried to only use this product to give a thorough review, but around the 3rd day I started using it with a moisturizer, and since it's a rich cream, using it after a moisturizer really helped the moisture last longer and kept my skin super hydrated even the next day! Tip #3 is to take photos💕. This was actually the first time I tried this product, through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program. Before using it, I read a lot of other reviews saying it wasn't effective, but 78,000 won is a significant investment, so I think people are hoping for very quick results! For me, I didn't realize it at first, but taking photos on the first day and the last day of use made the difference really clear! If you're hoping for a noticeable whitening effect, don't just check after a day or two, but try using it consistently for about a week - I think you'll see great results even from the first day's photo! 👊 The 3rd and 4th photos are intentionally taken without any filters! The 3rd photo has the same lighting conditions, so you can really see the difference, and the 4th photo is in a different location but with similar lighting, so the effects are still very visible! 👊 The effects on my elbow creases were also amazing, but I don't have a before photo since I just used the leftover product from my face and arms.

This cream is one that shows effects with long-term use, so I didn't see a huge difference within the first week. However, I would like to share my personal experience. The cream has excellent moisturizing properties, and after applying it, my skin doesn't feel too greasy or sticky. It absorbs nicely into the skin. I focused on using it on my underarms, which had become discolored due to frequent hair removal. Despite the cream being quite rich, it absorbed well without leaving me feeling uncomfortable from excess oil. This may be because I have dry skin - my mother, who has oily skin, said the cream didn't absorb as well for her and left her feeling greasy. As for the main whitening effect, as I mentioned, I didn't see a drastic difference in just one week. However, I did notice that the slightly greenish, dark discoloration around my eyes, similar to dark circles, had lightened a bit. I applied the cream morning and night, massaging it in for about a minute to help it absorb.
ConsPersonally, I found the scent to be a bit like soap at first, but I got used to it after about 3 days of use. I also wish there was a separate spatula included for scooping out the product.
TipAfter applying the cream morning and evening, I found it beneficial to do a light massage for 1-2 minutes to help it absorb better.

I liked the soft and bouncy texture, as well as the refreshing melon-like scent. Since my face is very sensitive and I tend to have issues with high concentrations of niacinamide, I unfortunately only applied it to my body. I think the product has good moisturizing properties. I generously applied it from my neck to my toes for 10 consecutive days. With this type of whitening cream, you need to use at least one full container to see results, but I think my skin tone has brightened by about one shade, even though I'm not that fair to begin with. I'm sure it will brighten even more once I finish the entire container.
ConsThe niacinamide might be the reason, but there is some irritation on my body as well... It's itchy. There are no breakouts, but the itchiness can be quite unbearable at times, so I had to rinse it off... Since my face is even more sensitive, it might cause breakouts. I'm not sure if I should keep applying it or not. It would have been great if it worked well on my face too... I feel bad that I can't leave a glowing review despite winning the trial, but at least the whitening effect was there.
TipSensitive skin types should be cautious with products containing whitening ingredients. The effects can be as potent as the irritation. In my case, I have an overly sensitive skin type, but if you have generally healthy skin and want whitening, I'd recommend this product.

I applied it diligently, focusing on my face, neck, elbows, knees, and ankles, both day and night. The amount was larger than expected, so I was able to apply it generously. The cream itself is quite oily, and it effectively cleaned up any areas that were prone to dryness or flakiness. The scent is similar to a baby lotion, which I found pleasant. The finish feels like it absorbs smoothly and leaves a soft, supple feeling after it's fully absorbed.
ConsSince I've only used it for a week, I'm not sure about the long-term effects yet. I think those with oily skin might not want to apply it to their face. It also doesn't seem to particularly improve makeup application or anything like that. The price is also quite steep. Also, I'm not sure if this is the case for everyone, but after applying it, there's a feeling of it leaving a residue on my palms that makes me feel like I need to wash my hands.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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 product is quite moisturizing. The cream formula is dense and bouncy. It seemed quite oily, but when applied, it doesn't feel greasy at all - it has more of a 'bouncy' texture, if I had to describe it. Just gently patting it in, it absorbs nicely. The most important thing is the whitening effect!! It's actually quite difficult to evaluate a whitening product after just one week, but I wanted to at least try to observe some visible changes, so I applied it to the area on my knee that had become a bit dull from a previous fall. I've been applying it consistently since the day I received it, and I can see the edges of the dull area gradually becoming less defined. Having seen some effect after just one week, I think with continued use, the whitening benefits will become quite noticeable.
Cons1. To be honest, when I first applied to be a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I signed up without really thinking about the 'whitening' aspect. I used to have severe acne on my face, and I still have some lingering discoloration in spots. I thought this was a facial whitening product that could help with that, but it turned out to be mainly for body use...haha. Still, since I had it, I decided to apply a tiny bit to my face as well (why did I do that?!). The first day, it felt incredibly bouncy and dense, and when I woke up, my whole face seemed brighter. On the second day, I just felt a slight itchiness around the edges of my face, but since I did see a bit of brightening, I didn't think it was because of the product. It wasn't until the third day that I noticed my face getting itchy and stinging right after application, so I washed it off and went back to my regular skincare routine. That helped soothe my skin, but I still have some small, red bumps lingering (I almost feel bad including that as a downside...). 2. The fragrance is quite strong. I usually stick to fragrance-free products or ones with very light, natural scents (like herbal), so the artificial cosmetic smell was a bit overpowering for me. Even after washing it off, I could still detect the fragrance lingering around my nose. 3. If you don't pat it in, it absorbs slowly. I applied it to my knee and then put on sweatpants, and the fabric ended up covered in the tiny hairs from the cream - my knee looked almost blackened! Haha.
TipYou're absolutely right - it's best to use products as intended. If, like me, you're tempted to try it on your face just in case, you might end up with some unwanted blemishes. The lesson here is to follow the manufacturer's instructions! Anyway, the whitening effect does seem to be there. If you make the effort to pat it in, it absorbs quickly and leaves your skin feeling nice and soft and moisturized.

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.ProsI won the event and used it for about a week. Since it's a whitening cream, I think you need to use it consistently for a long time to see the effects, but since there's a writing period, I'll leave a review first! The scent was not irritating and was familiar yet subtle. The volume was larger than I expected. Rather than using it all over the body, I used it on the areas I wanted to whiten, so I think it will last quite a long time. The texture was firm like a moisturizing cream, and I applied it to my elbows and knees, and it absorbed well and didn't feel sticky. When I used other body products, they would only feel moisturized when applied, and the dryness would return soon after, but this product, even though it's a whitening cream, felt as moisturizing and firm as a moisturizing cream, so the moisture seemed to last a long time. Especially my elbows, where the dead skin tends to build up, I didn't see any white buildup the next day after applying it in the evening, so the moisturizing power seems to be quite good. And the important whitening effect! I think it's still too early to feel the effects, since I've only used it for a short time, but I think I can see a very slight brightening (like peeling off old grime). Anyway, since this product has been recognized by the beauty program, I'll continue to use it consistently and expect the whitening effect.
ConsSo far, I haven't had any complaints, but after reading other reviews, it seems people mentioned the price. In my opinion, if the whitening effect is clear, this level of cost is worth investing in. And if you can get home care with this product instead of going to the shop and getting expensive treatments, wouldn't that be much more beneficial?
