To start, I have large pores and sensitive skin with small acne bumps concentrated along the U-zone. Two weeks ago, I forgot that I don't do well with caffeine, and ended up drinking 2-3 cups of coffee for about 4 days in a row. This caused the small bumps to spread all the way to the center of my cheeks, which was really frustrating. But luckily, I had the Tamanu Moisture Cream that I received as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, so I decided to try it. At first, I was a bit surprised by the green color, but... it's the creamy texture that I love. I would apply it thickly like a night mask before bed, and after about 5 days, the dehydration improved. And the pesky little bumps, while not completely gone, have started recovering, especially on the central part of my cheeks. It's not dramatically different, but I do feel a noticeable regenerative effect!
ConsHaha the smell is just way too strong........ I think it would be really tough for those with sensitive stomachs. And the color, it's kind of... green. When you're applying it, it feels like it's going to leave a green tint. Please make it in a white color instead!
TipI've been keeping it in the fridge and using the cooling effect to soothe my skin~!

Just looking at the color, it gives a healthy vibe. And the scent was kind of like a herbal, grassy smell. I applied it on the back of my hand, and as soon as I put it on, it felt cool and smooth. After gently patting it a few times, it absorbed quickly and felt great. My skin usually takes a while to absorb products, but this one absorbed really fast without much effort. I really liked that. * After 2 weeks of using the product: Even though I have sensitive skin, it doesn't show too much on the surface. My sister, who has been breaking out a lot lately, used it with me. My skin texture became much more refined, and my dry skin felt more moisturized. As for my sister, while the dramatic effect wasn't there, the acne, blackheads, and bumps she had visibly calmed down compared to before using the product. We're going to keep using it till the end!
ConsThe application and sensitivity are good, but... The fragrance is not exactly unscented, but rather a bit unpleasant to me...ㅠ.ㅠ I really struggled using it because of the smell. Those who are sensitive to scents may want to keep that in mind.

You need to apply it again for the film to form and get a moisturized feeling?? haha It's gentle so this can be used on all skin types The case is glass? Tempered glass maybe haha It's that kind of material, not plastic! The color is also a perfect green-brown shade~~ The product itself is also soft and it's a watery moisturizing cream. It would be great to use in the summer!!
ConsAt first, the mugwort scent wasn't that strong, but the more I apply it, the stronger it gets ㅠㅠㅠㅜㅠ Ah, I thought the mugwort scent was a healthy one, but because of the fragrance, I don't want to apply it anymore ㅠㅠㅜ Hing

Cons💦 The scent might be divisive, it smelled quite... unpleasant to me, like charcoal or the scent of crushed leaves 💦Not much change - skin texture improved, but I didn't feel like my skin got significantly better after 2 weeks of use 💦Leaves an oily finish in the morning, even though it's moisturizing at night - can't be helped for oily skin types
TipI would wipe my face with a pad after cleansing, then apply the toner and this. On really tired days, I would just use this after cleansing and go to bed. Overall: Worth trying at least once!

(About 2 weeks of use) ❗️ I have extremely dry skin on my cheeks and chin, and oily T-zone (forehead, nose) 😭 So when I use light skincare, my skin feels tight, but when I apply cream, it's initially moisturized but later my cheeks get dry while my forehead and nose become shiny, which has been a concern for me ㅠㅠ ✔️The usage experience was great! The product didn't sit on top of my skin and absorbed well after a few pats, which was perfect for me as I dislike a sticky skin feel🤗 ✔️Even though I always needed to apply more cream before due to dryness, this product made my skin moisturized with just one application😍 I applied it on the first day and went to sleep, and my skin was still hydrated in the morning, which made me extremely satisfied💕 ✔️The best part was that right after applying and after washing my face in the morning, my skin felt so smooth, which made my makeup application much better. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but my skin tone also seemed a bit brighter, so I've been using it every night ㅎㅎ (I think it's probably due to the hydration)
Cons✔️Those who don't like jar-type packaging might find it inconvenient to use! Moreover, there's no spatula, so I had to wash my hands clean every time I used it, which was a bit inconvenient😂 ✔️The scent that I can never get used to..... The product is great, but the scent is so unique that I can't get accustomed to it every time I apply it😭 It's something sensitive-nosed people should be cautious about ㅠㅠ

I have combination skin, and the T-zone was fine, but the oil zone became too dry in less than an hour after application. I used it like a mist. The moisturizing power is excellent. Also, as I have troubled skin, the redness was significantly reduced. It felt lightweight when I applied it before bed.
ConsThe scent is unbearable... I can't even describe it in words. Even though it's a moisturizing cream, the moisture seems a bit lacking. It felt quite dry after application. You have to apply it multiple times. The packaging is too heavy for the product. It doesn't feel high-end at all.
TipWhen I applied it generously before bed, the redness was a bit reduced the next day.

And since it contains 20,000ppm of tamanu oil, I thought it would be really helpful for soothing my skin. I've been using it for just 2 weeks now, and my skin that got tanned from my recent overseas trip seems to have calmed down a lot! They say tamanu oil is very effective for skin soothing. 📍 In addition to the tamanu oil, I heard they also added niacinamide to provide whitening benefits. I haven't seen the whitening effects yet, but I'll keep an eye on it as I continue using the product! 📍 I heard they used botanical extracts that provide great moisturizing effects and form a moisturizing film. My skin really does feel plump and bouncy! I'm very satisfied with it. ㅎㅎ
ConsThe scent was a bit too natural for me ㅠ! The fragrance might be divisive.
TipIt's best to store natural cosmetics in the refrigerator when using them. ㅎㅎ

But this is the review I wrote after using it consistently for 1 week!! From my personal perspective, it's a bit heavy at first. But the next morning, I felt like my skin became softer! It's fine when I apply the mask.
ConsI think the disappointing parts were the most. First of all, the scent was the biggest dislike. I'm not sure if I should call it an artificial smell.. Others say it's a mugwort scent, but I'm not sure about that.. They say it calms the skin when applied, but I'm not sure about that either! Since it absorbs quickly, those who dislike having something left on their face might be reluctant to apply it!

I was so disappointed that I didn't get selected for the Hwahae Trial, but I'm so grateful to have been chosen this time!! 😶 By the way, why isn't this product available on the brand's official website..? Hmm. At 32,000 won for 50ml, it's not exactly dirt cheap, but it's not an off-putting price either. However, as a student, it's still quite a lot for me... The packaging is clean and compact, so it's very portable. 💚 This product is a light, green-tinted cream. It doesn't fully absorb immediately, leaving a slight sticky feeling, but it's not overly bothersome. As someone with combination skin, I was able to use it without any issues! I didn't experience any breakouts or skin irritation at all!! The ingredients are also incredibly gentle. When I apply it in the evening and go to sleep, my skin looks noticeably better in the morning! However, I've decided to use this product on my body as well, and here's why 👇👇 + This is an ongoing review based on my continued use of the product! I was hesitant about the scent, but I decided to give it a try, and the next day, my skin had improved significantly - it was undeniable. Since then, I've been using this cream exclusively, and while the scent was initially off-putting, I've gotten used to it. I'm sure I'll repurchase this once I finish the current jar.
ConsThe main downside is that information and reviews are only available on the Hwahae platform, which is a bit disappointing. And the biggest drawback is the fragrance. I understand that natural cosmetics may have unpleasant scents, but this one is just too strong for me... Some have described it as a 'traditional Korean medicine' scent, but to me, it's a completely new and unpleasant experience. 😭 If you're sensitive to fragrances like I am, I really can't recommend this product. That's why I've decided to use it on my body instead...😭 If only the scent could be improved, I'd be able to use it so much better.

While using the Real Barrier Moisture Cream, I had an unbelievable amount of acne, but it has now subsided! The texture itself is not too dense, and it seems suitable as a summer moisturizer. I can apply it before makeup without any stickiness, and the moisturizing effect lasts a long time.
ConsThe scent is really... I even called the company to ask if the product had gone bad. It's solely because of the scent that I'm hesitant to use it. I knew Tamanu scents tend to be very polarizing, but I really dislike it. (I also don't use the Estee Lauder brown bottle much because of the smell.)
TipIf you're not sensitive to scents, this seems like a great, clean, and moisturizing cosmetic product that can be used year-round!
