My skin is usually dry and sensitive, so I'm very careful in choosing oil products. I've heard a lot about the benefits of rice bran oil for the skin, but I've been hesitant to try it because of its distinctive heaviness and greasy feel. However, I recently discovered Hwahae's rice bran oil for the face and was drawn to the fact that it uses 99.9% domestic rice ingredients and is a vegan product. After using it, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of satisfaction, so I'm leaving this review to highlight the key advantages. 1. Remarkable Moisturizing Power and Solution for Dehydration The most impressive aspect is the exceptional moisturizing power. After cleansing, applying 2-3 drops of the rice bran oil as the final step in my skincare routine leaves my skin feeling deeply hydrated. Previously, even with highly moisturizing creams, my skin would feel tight and dry over time. But after using the rice bran oil, I've noticed my skin staying supple and hydrated throughout the day. The use of low-temperature fermentation is particularly noteworthy, as it seems to enhance the oil's absorption, allowing it to deeply deliver moisture without leaving a greasy residue. This product is a strong recommendation for those struggling with dehydration. - Deep Skin Hydration: The oil penetrates deeply into the skin, providing a sense of nourishing moisture. - All-Day Moisture Retention: The hydration lasts from morning to evening. - Dehydration Solution: It effectively resolves the issue of dry, dehydrated skin with an oily surface. - Excellent Absorption: The low-temperature fermentation process enhances the oil's absorption, allowing it to be quickly absorbed without a greasy feel. - Improved Moisture Retention: It helps prevent water loss from the skin, strengthening the skin's moisture-holding capacity. 2. Gentle and Safe Ingredients, Suitable for Sensitive SkinAs someone with sensitive skin, I'm very thorough in checking the ingredients in my skincare products. Hwahae's rice bran oil for the face not only uses 99.9% domestic rice ingredients, but it's also formulated with gentle, EWG Green-rated components, giving me the confidence to use it. Additionally, the fact that it's a vegan-certified product further reassured me. During the time I've been using the rice bran oil, I haven't experienced any irritation, breakouts, or redness. Instead, my skin feels soothed and comfortable. I believe this is a product that even those with sensitive skin can use without worry. - 99.9% Domestic Rice Ingredients: The use of domestic rice ingredients makes the product safer and more trustworthy. - EWG Green Rating: The gentle, EWG Green-rated ingredients minimize skin irritation. - Vegan Certification: The vegan certification adds to the confidence in using this product. - Skin-Soothing Effect: It helps soothe and calm the skin, providing a comfortable feel. - Suitable for Sensitive Skin: Those with sensitive skin can use this product without concerns about breakouts. 3. Non-Sticky, Refreshing Texture Many people avoid oil products due to their heavy, sticky feel, but I was very satisfied with the non-sticky, refreshing finish of Hwahae's rice bran oil for the face. After applying the oil, my skin doesn't feel weighed down or heavy; instead, it's left feeling hydrated and soft. This has allowed me to use it before makeup without any issues with pilling or caking. I highly recommend this product to those who have disliked the sticky, heavy texture of other oil products. - Lightweight, Refreshing Formulation: The non-sticky, lightweight texture is quickly absorbed into the skin. - Maintains Hydration Without Heaviness: The oil doesn't leave the skin feeling weighed down or uncomfortable after application. - Prevents Makeup Caking: Using it before makeup application helps maintain a hydrated, smooth complexion without any pilling or caking.- Balances Skin's Oil-Water Ratio: It helps regulate the skin's oil-water balance, maintaining a hydrated complexion without excess shine. - Suitable for All Seasons: The non-sticky, refreshing texture allows for comfortable use throughout the year. 4. Improved Skin Tone and Radiance Using Hwahae's rice bran oil for the face consistently, I've noticed my skin tone becoming brighter and more radiant. It also imparts a natural glow, making my skin appear healthier and more vibrant. The various nourishing components in the rice bran seem to have a beneficial effect on the skin. I would recommend this product to those who struggle with dull, lackluster complexions. - Improved Skin Tone: It helps brighten and clarify the skin tone. - Adds Natural Glow: It enhances the skin's natural radiance. - Provides Skin Vitality: It gives the skin a healthy, energized appearance. - Improves Overall Skin Health: It enhances the overall health and beauty of the skin. - Protects the Skin: It helps shield the skin from external stressors. Hwahae's rice bran oil for the face is a truly satisfactory product, excelling in moisturizing power, gentle and safe ingredients, non-sticky refreshing texture, and skin tone improvement with a radiant glow. I strongly recommend this to those with dry, sensitive skin. It has effectively dispelled my preconceptions about rice bran oil. I encourage anyone with skin concerns to give this product a try.
Cons
The Hwahae rice bran oil face product is generally a satisfactory product, but there are a few shortcomings. First, there may be mixed reactions to the scent. The subtle aroma of the rice bran can feel unfamiliar to those accustomed to artificial fragrances. If you are sensitive to scents, it is best to test it before purchasing. Secondly, as an oil-based product, proper amount control is important. While those with dry skin may want to apply generously, excessive use can lead to excessive oiliness. Finding the right amount for your skin type is crucial. Thirdly, the package design is somewhat disappointing. It lacks a premium feel, and the dropper-style container can be inconvenient to use, making it difficult to utilize the product fully. Lastly, the price is on the higher side. Compared to other face oils, it is in a higher price range, which may feel burdensome. However, considering it uses domestic rice ingredients and is vegan-certified, the price can also be seen as reasonable. Despite these few shortcomings, the Hwahae rice bran oil face product is a helpful product for skin health, with excellent moisturizing properties and gentle ingredients.

To be honest, I didn't feel the moisturizing power of the oil product much, but I kept buying it just in case. Especially in the winter, ใ ใ This product didn't cause any trouble even when I applied a lot, and it was still gentle and moisturizing, so I used it well! It was decent.
Cons
I didn't see much effect in terms of whitening! The moisturizing power doesn't seem to be good enough to use it alone!

I used to think that oil is only needed in winter, but it turns out to be absolutely essential in the summer as well.. In the summer, I sweat a lot and have to wash my face frequently, but every time I wash, my skin feels dry and rough. No matter how much moisturizer I apply, it just doesn't get absorbed in the humid weather, and after washing, my skin feels slippery and completely stripped. However, once I started using oil, it seems to create a protective barrier on my skin, so I no longer feel dry or uncomfortable even after washing my face in the sweaty summer weather. It's amazing how much better my skin feels! I realized that in the summer when the skin is already saturated with moisture, I don't need to apply toner, but rather should use oil to protect my skin's weakening barrier. And the best part is, there are no harmful ingredients, so I can apply it all over my face without any allergic reactions at all~!! That's why everyone keeps raving about how great oils are - I'm kicking myself for not figuring this out sooner.
Cons
Nope!! For those with sensitive skin who break out from using oils, oils may not be the miracle solution. But for everyone else, oils are a total game-changer!

Even though I don't use oil, I bought a sunstick and tried the sample I received, and ended up using it all the way to the bottom. It made me realize the benefits of using oil.
Cons
As you can see in the photo, there are granular particles like sugar. I'm curious about what they are and why they are included.
Tip
If you press two drops onto your skin while finishing your skincare routine, you'll get a honey-like complexion. Haha.

The dropper bottle makes it easy to control the number of oil drops. The dropper effectively sucks up the oil, and there is no discomfort when using it. Although it is a 30ml product, it is a low-use item, so it will last quite a long time. Since the natural oil has no preservatives, it should be consumed as soon as possible within 6 months. The product has a rich, nutty fragrance without any added fragrances. The ingredients are very simple, without any problematic components. The oil is yellow in color, and while it is oily and sticky as an oil, it is not excessively so. Compared to various face oils, I would say the oiliness and moisturizing properties are at a medium level. The greasy feeling is not too severe, so it is not burdensome to use as a base step before makeup.
Cons
During use, the dropper part of the bottle has started to peel off, and white flakes stick to my fingers. I think the bottle material needs to be improved. Also, when directly purchasing organic oils from overseas brands like Now, it is possible to obtain high-quality organic oils at a very affordable price, so the cost-effectiveness of this product is debatable.

When I applied the oil products, I didn't like the heavy feeling, but this oil was lighter compared to other products, which I liked! And it had some kind of nutty... that kind of grain scent, which was to my liking ๐
Cons
Hmm... I don't think there was much, but if I had to pick one, it would be the case. I found it inconvenient as it kept leaking ใ

The ingredients seem good and there are no other harmful substances, so I like it.
Cons
The smell is like soybean oil. It's exactly like the scent of country-style rice cakes with oil. After applying it, I don't feel any freshness at all. It's like having soybean oil on the palm of my hand.

๐Even though it's all about money, it has a refreshing finish. There are quite a few products that are a bit sticky, but it finishes refreshingly. I applied it in the morning and it felt like I had put on makeup. I didn't use a lot, just about a drop, and it formed a moisturizing film, so the serum's moisture didn't disappear. This oil definitely helped with my dry skin this winter!:) You really have to use a drop of oil to deal with dry skin!!!!!! I liked the scent ใ ใ ใ The most similar scent was the Clarins oil I used when I was pregnant. I personally liked that scent, so I didn't have any aversion to using it. Body oils really have a rice-like scent (like rice water smell..?) but the face oil has just a little bit of a rice-like scent ใ ใ ใ After all, since it's for the face, a refreshing scent is better.
Cons
The bottle is not transparent.. Since you can't see how much is left, I have to shake it to check, but I still can't tell how much is left. When I press the dropper, there's still quite a bit of oil coming out, so I guess there's a lot left? Personally, I think cosmetic containers should always be transparent - for hygiene reasons and to check the remaining amount. The non-transparent bottle makes me a bit uneasy, so I'm taking off one star.
Tip
Don't use too much, just a drop at a time. I use a lot before bed ใ ใ ใ ใ ใ When applying cream, I mix in some oil (and apply a generous amount) and when I wake up in the morning, my skin feels so soft and smooth โค๏ธ

I usually avoid oil-based products due to my thick complexion, sticky residue, and tendency to develop milia. However, since this is a natural product, I decided to give it a try. The texture is very similar to a regular serum - it applies smoothly, absorbs well, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and comfortable without any sticky residue. I'm quite satisfied with the performance.
Cons
As it is a natural product, it has no fragrance at all, and there is a slight oily smell reminiscent of oil-based products.

My skin is dry and sensitive. It's good to mix a small amount of the cream and apply it.
Cons
Many reviews say it's refreshing, but I felt it was too heavy. It had a slightly pore-clogging, stuffy feeling. I had to pat it on my face for a while before it absorbed, and the applied area felt itchy.
