To maximize its effects, I stopped using other skincare products and only used this oil along with a moisturizer (for mixing purposes). Oil application: For an oil, it's surprisingly lightweight and not as heavy as expected. Perhaps that's why it doesn't feel overly greasy. It feels like a slightly rich essence that absorbs well into the skin, leaving it hydrated. Scent: It has a pleasant, fragrant pine-like aroma that lifts your mood. While I enjoy the crisp scent that feels like it could be phytoncide, those with super sensitive skin might have mixed reactions. Effectiveness: To maximize the oil's benefits, I mixed a drop or two with my cream during my skincare routine. Surprisingly, it didn't feel greasy or heavy. Even without using toner or essence, I didn't feel a lack of hydration or richness, which was great. It seems effective in streamlining your skincare routine. Notably, I applied a drop or two directly to my cracked heels before bed. After consistent use, I was amazed to find that my drought-stricken heels became much softer after about a week. Overall: This is a versatile oil perfect for applying to all dry areas - body, face, and hair. It strikes a nice balance, neither too rich nor too light.
ConsI couldn't really find any downsides. If anything, perhaps the strong scent might be polarizing? But with its phytoncide effects and perfume-like quality, I didn't mind it.
TipWhen making homemade face or hair masks, adding a drop or two of this oil not only imparts a pleasant scent but also boosts nutrition. It's especially effective in egg masks, which can have a strong odor - a couple of drops of this oil replace that with a fragrant pine scent.

I was intrigued when I heard that even oily skin needs an oil barrier, so this was a great opportunity to try it out. I appreciated that the formula doesn't just run off your face. It's not an overly greasy oil that sits on top of the skin, which is nice. It mixes well with other products, comes in a generous amount, and doesn't irritate or overwhelm my skin. I didn't experience any blemishes either. While the product has its own benefits, it seems to really excel at preventing moisture loss. My skin definitely feels less dry as a result. Although I haven't used it long enough to see dramatic effects, I want to praise it for how well it's managed to combat dryness in this season. I believe with consistent use, it will help improve dryness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
ConsThe product has a very strong, distinctive scent. While it's not an artificial fragrance, so I wouldn't say it's bad, it can be overwhelming. I carelessly mixed it with my eye cream and felt a slight burning sensation around my eyes. The strong scent makes it a bit daunting to apply generously. It definitely requires some getting used to.
TipWhen applied as the final step in your nighttime skincare routine after cleansing, it feels like your skin is protected throughout the night.

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.ProsFirst off, the case and packaging are absolutely gorgeous! I've been using it for a week now, mixing it with my moisturizer, and I'm impressed with how well it absorbs and applies. After application, my skin feels incredibly hydrated, and even in the morning, there's no greasiness - just locked-in moisture that seems perfect for dry skin. The scent, whether it's pine or some kind of herbal aroma, is actually quite addictive - I find myself wanting to smell it again and again!
ConsUnfortunately, as my skin is particularly sensitive to oils, I ended up developing some blemishes. While I'd strongly recommend this for those with dry skin, people with sensitive oily skin might want to think twice. Since the blemishes have subsided, I'm planning to give it another try.

My current cream is from Make**, which is great for combination dehydrated skin in summer, but not quite enough for transitional seasons. I just mixed in a single drop of this oil. Skin type: I have combination dehydrated skin, but I'm not super sensitive. Absorption: It absorbs surprisingly well! The combination with my cream worked great. No greasiness, just the perfect oil and moisture balance. Hydration: Even when I'm out and about, the hydration lasts, and I don't experience any deep dryness. I still need to test it in the office with the heating on, but we haven't started using that yet. I'll update on how it compares to other oils after using it more. It seems to provide better hydration than jojoba oil.
ConsThe downside is the scent. If you can't get past it, you might not be able to use this. However, the fragrance does dissipate quickly. Since it absorbs well, those with very dry skin should adjust the amount they use.

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 always relied on *s dry oil every winter when my skin gets dry (it's less greasy). This product feels a bit oilier like regular oils, so I tried mixing it with my cream (the instructions also suggest it's better when mixed with cream). Recently, my skin felt dehydrated, probably due to the cold wind, but after using this for about two days, I noticed a significant improvement. It applies and absorbs better than expected. It seems to blend and absorb better with cream compared to other oils (it's great when you feel that deep dryness). When I use it consistently and then switch to just cream for a day or two, I feel dry again. It seems oils provide the best hydration in winter. Also, maybe because my skin is now well-hydrated, I feel like my skin texture is improving just by adding this oil.
ConsFirst off, as soon as you open it, there's an overpowering pine scent. It took me a while to realize it was a pine smell; at first, I just thought, 'What's this intense odor?' (I deducted one star from the rating because of the smell.)
TipInstead of applying oil on top of all your skincare, try mixing it with your moisturizer. (I don't like too much greasiness, so I only mixed in one drop. The instructions say to use two or three drops, but one drop worked fine for me. Also, I only used cream on my T-zone as it's oily and prone to blemishes, and used the oil mixture on the rest of my face.) We all know it's best to apply skincare quickly after cleansing, right? If you wait too long, your skin feels dry no matter what you apply. It won't absorb well.

No matter how much I moisturize, it quickly becomes parched, feeling like it's about to crack. But after applying this oil essence, it's as if I've created a protective barrier. I just shake a few drops onto my hands and let the warmth of my skin help it absorb. The product itself isn't overly oily - unlike other oils that leave you looking super shiny, this one doesn't. That's what I love about it! It absorbs quickly and really helps alleviate that deep dryness!
ConsWhen I first opened the cap, the scent was overwhelmingly strong. But that was only at the very beginning - later on, it became more subtle and pleasant!

This isn't an oil that leaves you feeling greasy. The more you apply, the faster it absorbs, and I love that it doesn't leave a shiny, oily residue! At first, I only used it at night, worried it might make me look greasy. But since it doesn't leave any shine, I've started mixing it with my serum for morning use too. The scent was surprisingly strong at first, but I remember the enclosed instructions mentioning something about aromatherapy. Honestly, the more I smell it, the more I get used to it, and it really does feel like a therapeutic experience! I'm using it almost everywhere, not just on my face! Heels, ankles, elbows, calves - you name it. At this rate, I'm using it everywhere except my hair! For areas like heels and elbows, I follow the instructions and apply a few drops directly without mixing. And yes, the before and after photos are of the same foot! I've been taking care of my feet by washing them and applying the oil. It absorbs so quickly, making it perfect for use on feet too!
ConsWhen I looked at the price, it did seem a bit expensive. That's really the only downside I can think of!

After application, it feels firm without being sticky 2. Absorbs well without leaving a greasy shine 3. Great for use on hair and body too 4. Larger volume compared to other oils 5. Softens skin texture 6. Not heavy for an oil, so it seems suitable for summer use 7. Brightens complexion
Cons1. Strong scent might be polarizing 2. On the pricier side, even with discounts 3. Packaging looks a bit dated (personal opinion) 4. While it might work for summer, it's not hydrating enough on its own for winter
TipI once had a bad reaction to retinol oil that irritated my skin, so I'm cautious now. I only use a small amount mixed with other products, and apply it only in the evening. The undiluted oil works fine for body use though!

The photo I've shared is taken right after cleansing, with just this oil applied. When I first spritzed and applied it to my face, I was startled by the scent - it smelled like an old wardrobe or drawer! But as I continued using it, I got used to the fragrance. I typically use about five drops, massaging it into my skin, and after a few minutes, my face starts to glow. It's not heavy or sticky, and it doesn't make you look greasy. Instead, it feels like it's adhering perfectly to the skin. I have extremely dry and sensitive skin that's generally problematic, but even when I only apply this after washing my face, the hydration lasts for quite a while.
ConsWhile I can't find any faults with the product itself, the price point is a bit of a concern. I can't help but think it would be even better if it were a little more affordable.
TipI've found that mixing it with my usual emulsion or cream makes my makeup apply more smoothly and gives a more hydrated finish.

Despite its thin consistency, it absorbed instantly. There's no stickiness, just a smooth absorption that leaves skin feeling soft and clean. Although it's an essence oil, it doesn't have the greasy or sticky feel of typical oils - instead, it feels refreshingly light.
ConsThe scent, oh my! After lightly applying it to my feet, I was suddenly hit with an overwhelming smell. What a shock! The subtle pine fragrance I noticed when opening the package was completely gone, replaced by a strong, almost elderly-like odor. The smell filled the entire room, forcing me to open windows for ventilation. Due to the intense fragrance, I'll avoid using it on my face and stick to using it only on my heels.
