When applied, my face has a nice glow and feels very hydrated. - Absorption The formula is a bit heavy, so it doesn't sink in super quickly. However, it helps smooth over flaky skin while providing hydration, and I can feel it absorbing well. - Moisturizing Among serums, this is one of the more moisturizing ones. I think it's perfect for use in the fall and winter. I usually do a 3-step routine of toner, serum, and moisturizer, but I was able to skip the moisturizer when using this product because the hydration was so good. - Anti-Aging I noticed a slight improvement in my wrinkles, especially around my neck, which is a concern area for me. For only using it for a week, I was pretty satisfied with the anti-aging effects. Other pros are the good ingredients and effective anti-aging properties. And the packaging is really pretty - my friends have been asking me where I got it.
Cons- Formula The heavier formula might make it difficult for oily skin types or for use in the summer. - Texture There is a bit of stickiness, which is understandable given the moisturizing nature of the product. My oily-skinned younger sibling found it quite heavy and suffocating when they used it. I think this would work best for dry to normal skin types in this season.
TipWhen I use this before makeup, my makeup applies so smoothly and my skin looks so glowy!

Cons☆Absorption Since it contains a highly concentrated tulip powder, the texture is very sticky, and it takes a long time for the product to be absorbed into the face. Even when using a very small amount, my hair keeps getting stuck, which is quite inconvenient. My husband also said that it doesn't get absorbed into his face and feels itchy and stuffy. Of course, once absorbed, it does feel moisturizing, but the sticky surface might be a problem for those who don't like that kind of texture. It seems almost impossible to use this in the summer. Especially for me, I usually use it after toner before going to bed at night, but it might be too much to use it in the morning before going to work! ☆It's marketed as a skin barrier serum, but it seems to be heavily focused on whitening and wrinkle functions, which is a bit confusing. Normally, for skin barrier care, natural ingredients are used, and functional ingredients are avoided, which is what my dermatologist had advised me as well. They recommended focusing on moisture and pH management, but this is a skin barrier serum with a lot of functional ingredients, so I'm a bit puzzled about the target and the product composition. ☆I think many users may not be aware of the actual improvements and functions of the highly concentrated tulip powder in this product. I don't really know either... It would be better if they could advertise this component more upfront, as it's a new and unfamiliar ingredient, which makes users both curious and worried.
TipAbsolutely use only a small amount and spread it thinly! After applying the product, it seems to absorb faster if you gently press the skin rather than continuously patting it. However, it's best not to use it in the morning before makeup, as it can make your skin look overly oily and shiny, even if it just appears moisturized. (I tried it and had to wipe it off and redo my makeup...) But among the products I've been using lately, this one is definitely the most moisturizing and keeps the skin hydrated for a long time, without making flaky skin stand out. So I think it would be great for those who have a lot of flaky skin in the winter!

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.ProsLuckily, I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and was able to use the product for about 9 days. Overall, it was quite decent. I'll try to write an honest review. Spreadability: The texture is thick and slightly sticky. It may be divisive, but I personally didn't enjoy the subtle stickiness. Moisturizing Power: Instead of a dense lotion or cream, this product provided sufficient moisture that I didn't feel any tightness even after sleeping. It had a plumping effect, but the slightly tacky texture made me a bit concerned about it leaving residue on my pillowcase. Absorption: It absorbed completely without any surface residue. Fragrance: The fragrance has a strong red bean scent. While I enjoy the taste of red beans, the overly sweet aroma of the actual product made me feel a bit nauseous. Personally, I would have preferred a more subtle fragrance. Volume: With about 3-4 drops on my forehead and face each evening, I estimate this volume would last around 3-4 months. The packaging design and color are quite lovely! I would recommend this to dry or normal skin types who are not sensitive to fragrance.
ConsFortunately, I didn't experience any breakouts. However, those with oily skin may find it a bit too sticky or heavy. The fragrance was quite strong. Many whitening products seem similar, and since I've only used it for less than a month, I'm not sure about the whitening effects yet.

The glass feels quite sturdy. Convenient pump-style dispenser. ☆Texture/Application: A moderately viscous formula that applies nourishingly. May feel a bit heavy for summer, but suitable for the current fall/winter season. Can be used morning and night. ☆Absorption: Absorbs quickly when used alone, and also blends well with other products without any residue. ☆Moisturizing: The moisturizing level is adequate even for oily skin. ☆Fragrance: The fragrance is mild and should not be too polarizing. ☆Effects: I felt my skin become more supple after using it for about 4 days. I also did not experience any breakouts. However, there are some potentially irritating ingredients, so please keep that in mind.
ConsTexture/Application: Initially, there is a sticky feeling that remains even after some absorption. This can potentially lead to a drying sensation. So it's best to apply the next product before the stickiness fully sets in. Moisturizing: This product seems to be quite seasonal for combination/oily skin types. It's suitable for fall/winter, but may feel a bit occlusive in the summer. Dry skin types should be fine (but may need to layer it with other products to avoid the stickiness). Fragrance: While the fragrance was mild for me, it may be displeasing for those sensitive to floral scents or have a strong aversion to fragrance. The fragrance is more noticeable when patting it in versus rubbing it in.
TipMorning: Lightly apply a hydrating toner, follow with this moisturizing cream, and then complete your makeup routine (based on fall/winter). Evening: Use any toner, apply this product, layer with other serums or hydrating ampoules/emulsions, and finish with a moisturizing cream. When using face masks, apply this before the mask and follow with a moisturizing cream after the mask.
