However, if I use a heavy formula, it causes breakouts. After trying various products, I've settled on this item. It replenishes moisture from deep within, which works well for my skin type. The moisturizing power is also good.😊 According to the product description, it also has a calming effect on the skin, so I used it as a sleeping pack at night and felt my skin was really soothed the next day. It also works well with my makeup. The product even comes with a spatula, which is great for hygienic cream application! This is the most important part when using creams, in my opinion! I've almost used up one jar, so I'm planning to buy another one! The photo shows how my troubled skin calmed down after just one day of using Tamanu oil. Please refer to it. Hydration 👍👍👍👍👍 Moisturizing 👍👍👍👍 Skin Soothing 👍👍👍👍
ConsThe scent is a bit strong, but I got used to it. If you're sensitive to fragrances, you might find it unpleasant at first. It's like a healthy juice scent? Other than that, there's nothing I'm unhappy about.
TipI found out it's on sale now as I was about to repurchase it! Actually, those who had it planned, please take note - it's around 9,600 won, I think. I'm going to buy two this time.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ And I think it's great to use it as a sleeping pack or just apply it and go to bed.😊 My skin was soothed, and my makeup went on well the next day, which I really liked.

But I realized the issue wasn't with this product, and I've been using it well lately^^ My acne is disappearing, and my skin is becoming smooth like a peeled egg! It's not heavily oily, but just the right amount of moisturizing, and it becomes refreshing over time. I didn't find the scent to be too bothersome! I'll apply it again and go to bed today, lulu
ConsI wish the price was just a little bit more affordable...

It's hydrating and lightweight, and doesn't leave a dry feeling after application.
ConsThe only downside is that it comes in a jar format, and the price may be a bit of a concern.
TipFor oily skin types, this is a non-greasy moisturizer that can be used even in the winter.

The texture is like a jelly, so it absorbs well into the skin and leaves a moisturized feeling. It has a similar texture to the Aloevera Gel Cream, so it gives a strong sense of replenishing moisture to the skin. 2. It doesn't dry out easily, and the moisturized feeling remains even after application. It seems to balance the oil and moisture well. 3. The ingredients are good, so I could use it with confidence. When I first applied for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer, the ingredients looked good, and since I have sensitive skin and have been dealing with milia and dryness lately due to the changing seasons, I didn't experience any irritation, stinging, or tightness when using it. Interestingly, when I use the Aloevera Gel Cream, my face gets irritated and hot, but I think I can use this cream instead of the Aloevera one.
Cons1. The scent is a bit peculiar. I don't think I'm very sensitive to scents, but at first, I thought it smelled like urine... haha. But if you smell it closely, it's like the scent of herbal plants and wood. It's not a stinging or irritating scent at all... just a subtle one? It might be divisive, but you get used to it as you use it! 2. Since the texture is gel-like, it's difficult to scoop out more product, and there's no spatula included. That was a bit disappointing, as it would have been more hygienic to use. 3. The container is heavy, so even though the size is small, it's inconvenient to carry around. It's tricky to decide whether to scoop out some or just carry the whole thing... the amount is a bit small, so it's a bit of a hassle.
TipI'd recommend that those with very dry skin apply another oil-based cream after using this one. This alone might be too drying. It seems to suit those with combination or normal skin better. When applied, it feels very moisturizing and hydrating, but afterwards, it leaves a slight oily feeling. If you don't absorb it properly, it can feel a bit sticky or tacky. But if you absorb it well, it's fine. (It's a great product for balancing oil and moisture!)

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've been using it for 10 days and here's my review: ❤ First of all, there wasn't much stickiness. Creams that leave a sticky feeling on the skin can make makeup application difficult, but this one wasn't sticky at all. It felt very smooth and cushiony on the skin, allowing my makeup to apply nicely. ❤ Since I have somewhat sensitive skin, I often get small breakouts when I use the wrong cream. But I've been using this for 10 days and haven't had any new breakouts. The ingredients seem to be very skin-friendly. ❤ As a moisturizing cream, it's incredibly hydrating. When I apply it generously and go to sleep, my skin feels amazing the next day. It really nourishes the skin and makes my makeup look great.
ConsThe only downside was the scent. Since it's formulated with great ingredients, the fragrance wasn't the best. It had a somewhat unpleasant pine-like smell. But since I'm not very sensitive to fragrances, it didn't bother me too much.

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.Pros💗Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review💗 ✅ Gentle ingredients that work well for my sensitive skin✅ I have the kind of skin that immediately breaks out in pimples even with the slightest imbalance in moisture. But this product contains centella and madecassoside ingredients that seem to work well for me, and I was able to use it without any trouble or worries! ✅Suitable texture and feel for all skin types✅ The texture feels like a gel, but the finish has a slightly moisturizing feel (not oily, but a refreshing moisture). I felt that it would be suitable for oily skin types as well as all other skin types without any issues. Unlike some creams that can feel heavy and slide off the skin, this one never felt that way at all! Personally, I have dry skin, so using this cream alone wasn't quite enough for me. So I applied this as a soothing and recovery cream, and then topped it off with a richer cream.
Cons🌀Polarizing scent🌀 If you're familiar with the Kim Jeong-mun Aloe Cure Cream, you might recognize the scent - this Tamanu cream has a very similar scent (though the texture is completely different). It's like the Aloe Cure Cream's scent but with the sour note removed. The scent isn't overpowering, but it could be polarizing for some. I personally quite liked the scent though! 🌀Insufficient moisture for dry skin🌀 I expected this 'Cure Cream' to be highly moisturizing, but upon closer inspection, it's actually a 'Moisture Cream'. Of course, you can't expect an incredible amount of moisture from a moisture cream, but for my dry skin, it fell a bit short. Even after thoroughly prepping my skin with toners and essences, once I applied just this cream as the final step, my skin would start feeling dry again within an hour...😞 Those with dry skin who don't like multiple skincare steps may find the moisture lacking.
TipNot much of a tip, but I personally found it works better when applied before bedtime!

It spread smoothly without feeling oily. I applied it after toner in the evening, and in the morning, it maintained a moisturized feeling without making my skin feel greasy.
ConsI'm always wondering how I can minimize my milia as much as possible, so I carefully select and test products. Unfortunately, like other gel creams, when I only used this product, I noticed milia coming up, so I had to stop using it for a few days and tried adjusting the amount I applied, but it seems finding a gel cream that suits me is not easy. Oh, and it has a unique chlorella-like scent, but I didn't mind it and imagined it was like an herbal scent.
TipI mainly use it before sunscreen and makeup, feeling that it protects my sensitive skin from strong makeup products. As for the milia that come up, I'll try to deal with them through oil massages and adjusting the amount I apply on the T-zone area!

While it may feel slightly sticky, the good absorption means it can be used before makeup application without slipping. It helps makeup bases, primers, and foundations adhere well to the skin. Soothing/Irritation relief⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Keeping it in the fridge and using it right before makeup helped cool down my skin temperature and provided sufficient soothing. It also helped relieve irritation after exfoliating. I think it would be great for those with sensitive skin as well, as it did not cause any irritation. Texture⭐️⭐️⭐️ It has a thick, creamy texture, not a lightweight, watery one. It applies in a dense, clingy manner, rather than a soft, bouncy one. Those who dislike sticky textures may want to avoid this. 🌀Who I recommend it for • Those with sensitive skin • Those looking for a soothing cream • Those seeking a deeply moisturizing cream 🌀Who I don't recommend it for • Those who dislike sticky creams • Those who prioritize fragrance
ConsFragrance⭐️⭐️ The fragrance may be divisive. It has a natural, rather than synthetic, scent. Therefore, I would not recommend it to those who consider fragrance to be an important factor. Even I needed some time to get used to the fragrance.

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 have very sensitive skin that breaks out in terrible acne even with the slightest change in cosmetics or when I'm stressed. Although I couldn't apply it as often as I'd like due to being busy and tired, I'll still use it. The texture feels similar to the Dr. G Intensive Hydrating Cream. The color is a bit unusual, so I thought hmm? But as expected, the scent will likely be divisive. However, I don't really mind that. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling moisturized, but there's a slight tackiness that lingers. Since I don't particularly like that tackiness, I took off one star. I apply it moderately to avoid the tackiness. So far, I haven't had any breakouts, so I'll have to keep using it to see. Even my mom, who also has sensitive skin, tried it once and said it felt nicely moisturizing. It seems worth trying at least once. For now, I'm trusting the ingredients and giving it a go.
ConsI'm a bit disappointed by the slight tackiness. I think the tackiness might cause dust to cling to my face (just my personal thoughts and feelings). I also expect the scent will be divisive. I haven't yet experienced the deeply moisturizing effect.

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. The product's ingredients are good and since my skin is sensitive, when I use products that don't suit my skin, I immediately get pimples or itchiness and redness, but I didn't experience any of that with this product and my skin felt comfortable. 2. The texture is like a moisturizing gel cream, with more moisture than oil, so it applies lightly but has a more plump, bouncy feel rather than being as light as a soothing gel. 3. There is some stickiness right after application, but it absorbs quickly, and after it's absorbed, there's no stickiness at all, and my skin feels smooth and soft. 4. The ingredients list has brightening and soothing components, so when I apply it in the evening and sleep, my skin looks a bit brighter the next day. So I think this would be a good fit for sensitive, oily, and combination skin types that want soothing and brightening effects.
Cons1. While the oil and moisture are balanced, and it applies as a thin, hydrating layer without any stickiness, which would be satisfactory for oily skin types, for dry skin it may be a bit drying, so dry-skinned individuals might find it more suitable as a summer moisturizer rather than a winter one. 2. The scent, which comes from the ingredients rather than added fragrance, is quite strong, which is a bit disappointing. 3. Due to the packaging, it's difficult to control the amount used, and it may not be very hygienic, so a tube-type packaging would be an improvement.
TipIf this product alone is not enough for dry skin, you can mix in a few drops of facial oil or apply this product first to hydrate, and then press a facial oil on top to lock in the moisture, so that even in the dry, cold winter, your skin won't feel dehydrated.
