It's said to detoxify the skin and be beneficial for acne-prone complexions. The serum absorbs well with minimal stickiness.
ConsFor my dry skin type, using this serum alone might not provide enough hydration, especially for those with very dry skin. Given its nature as a serum, it's not particularly rich, so you'll need to layer a moisturizer on top, which is a bit inconvenient.
TipAfter cleansing with oil and foam cleansers, gently pat in your toner. Then, apply a generous amount of serum and let it absorb for about a minute. Finish off with an emulsion or cream to lock in the moisture.

My skin type is combination - oily T-zone with very dry cheeks. I usually get small blemishes on my forehead when I'm not feeling well or during that time of the month. This essence is gentle, causing no irritation, and feels nice to apply. Recently, for some unknown reason, I had a sudden outbreak of small bumps. Since Houttuynia Cordata products usually work well for me, I used this essence along with another brand's Houttuynia Cordata toner. Within two weeks, the breakout quickly subsided!
ConsWhile it's moisturizing, there's a slight sticky feeling after application. It's not severe, but noticeable. Although it claims to be hydrating, I found my face felt tighter compared to using a dedicated hydrating ampoule. So now I use a hydrating ampoule first, then follow with this.
TipIf Houttuynia Cordata products generally work well for you, it might be worth purchasing this to use regularly as a preventative measure against facial blemishes!

However, my current serum started feeling too boring and heavy, so I decided to switch it up for a change - and I'm completely satisfied! This serum absorbs nicely and seamlessly into my skin without feeling heavy, even in the current season. My skincare routine has a lot of steps, but this serum supports them well without causing my skin to feel overloaded.
ConsThe serum may lack oil content, so using a more moisturizing lotion as the next step and then a rich cream to act as a protective barrier can help prevent skin troubles during the seasonal transition.
TipNo special tips. It's just refreshing and nice - even if you accidentally use too much, it doesn't feel heavy or burdensome.

The contents seem to be the same as the face mask. It feels like I just transferred the remaining contents from the face mask into the serum bottle! Even though I have sensitive skin, the centella seems to work well for me. (I have skin that doesn't agree with aloe and gotu kola!) I think using it consistently will have a soothing effect. And I'm very pleased that it's a large size.
ConsMy skin is dry, so just using this alone isn't enough. It would be better to layer it with other skincare products. It feels like there's no oil, but also no moisture...? It's moist when I first apply it, but my face starts to feel tight after a while. It's not heavy, so I think it would be fine on its own even in the middle of summer.
TipThe face mask feels much more moisturizing than the serum. To use this serum more moisturizing like the face mask, it would be good to apply a generous amount onto the face, just like with the face mask.

It seems to be calming and my complexion has also improved. The volume is also large, so it was good to apply it generously without worrying.
ConsIt's a bit dry to use in the fall and winter. There's no excessive moisture, but there's no sticky feeling or oily sensation, so it doesn't feel like a film is forming.

I think it's a great serum for those with dry skin!
ConsThere's really no downside. But those with dry skin might find it a bit light. It does provide moisture, but the finish is refreshingly non-greasy, so I've been applying a cream on top.

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.ProsThe product has excellent spreadability and absorption. (When applied in the right amount) After absorption, the skin feels plump and supple rather than just moisturized. If you apply a large amount at once, it tends to sit on the surface, so it's better to apply a small amount and layer it several times to address dryness. For those who don't have dry skin, a small amount can be generously applied to the face, so it should last quite a long time. And the scent, which many consider important - it has a herbal, fresh aroma that is quite subtle, so it's unlikely to be polarizing. The packaging is also simple in design and allows you to check the remaining product, which I like. Overall, it seems like a reasonably priced product that's good to use.
ConsMy skin has been acting up lately, and I didn't really feel a strong calming effect. Since this is a very moisturizing product, I wish it had provided a bit more oil control, which would have been even better.

In the winter, I use it after toner and before cream.
ConsIt's a bit watery, and lacks oiliness or a bouncy texture. I wish it had a bit more oily feel to it.

Cons- The moisture is sufficient, but the oil needs to be supplemented with a separate product

It seems to be a clean and straightforward product!! ㅋㅋㅋ The spreadability was good, and the moderate moisture level was satisfactory. The price was reasonable, and the scent was not at all unpleasant.
ConsSince this was my first time using an Houttuynia cordata product, there may have been some oiliness, which was a bit disappointing. As I prefer a more refreshing and less oily feel since I have an oily skin type, ㅎㅎ
