It's so pretty sitting on my vanity that I can't stop admiring it. The serum is so nourishing that you might not even need to apply cream afterwards. It's not too rich or greasy either. I have combination skin, and when I apply it evenly on the dry areas like my chin and forehead, as well as on the oilier T-zone, it feels like it perfectly balances my skin.
ConsThe only downside might be that it's fragrance-free, so there's no scent... And I wish they would come out with a larger size option.
TipFor my evening routine, after toner, I generously apply this serum and pat it in. That's all I need for nighttime hydration!

I have extremely dry skin, so I usually need to layer 3 toners, 2 ampoules, and 2 creams. But surprisingly, just using the toner and Black Serum, or even the Black Serum alone after cleansing, was enough. It's amazing! I initially planned to apply cream after the serum, but I didn't need to. The serum's moisturizing power not only tackles deep dryness but also feels like it creates a thin protective layer on the skin, similar to a water-based cream. It was sufficient on its own. Even when I applied makeup over the serum, there was no pilling or flaking. My makeup stayed put until evening without any flaking, and my skin didn't feel dry underneath. Before bed, I applied a generous amount twice. This kept my skin hydrated until morning without any dryness. On days when I'm not feeling my best or after drinking, I usually need to use a sheet mask. But applying multiple layers of the Black Serum seems even more effective than using a sheet mask. My skin is so dry that the serum absorbs immediately upon application, which I'm very satisfied with. The consistency seems slightly thicker than the brown/purple bottle ampoules, but the application feels similar. If you have dry skin or lack moisture, this is an absolute must-have serum! Why did this only come out now?
ConsBecause my skin is severely dry, I tend to use skincare products, especially toners, ampoules, and serums, quite liberally. I usually apply 2-3 layers as a minimum. Considering my usage, the volume is a bit disappointing (though it's probably sufficient for others). This is only a drawback for those who use products generously like me. The scent? There's a slight herbal medicine smell, but looking at the ingredients, I see it's a product without added fragrances! This means they didn't use any potentially harmful ingredients, so it's not an issue at all.
TipFor those who say, 'My skin is so dry! It's parched and lacks moisture!', try the toner + Black Serum combination or layer the Black Serum alone 2-3 times. It lasts longer and effectively tackles deep dryness. It's truly amazing!

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 Impression As it was a product from a brand I hadn't tried before, I was a bit hesitant to use it. However, after checking the ingredients on the Hwahae app, I felt confident enough to give it a go! I really liked the design and packaging - it has a very indie and pretty vibe. Texture It has a consistency more like thick mucus, feeling more like a concentrated ampoule rather than a thin serum. I have combination sensitive skin that used to be oily, so I'm usually wary of heavy formulas. But when I applied this to my face, it spread evenly and didn't feel too heavy. It's definitely not a cooling formula though, so it didn't help much with my facial redness and heat sensitivity. However, I found it great for autumn and winter use, as it seemed to provide enough control on its own. User Experience I've used it every day since receiving it. During the day, I used it with a light cream before makeup, and it seemed to help my makeup apply smoothly. While I was a bit disappointed it didn't help with my heat sensitivity, using it with a light moisturizer with a cooling effect solved that issue. In the evening, I paired it with a more hydrating cream for intense skincare. Although it felt a bit heavy, it didn't cause any blemishes, which was great! Overall, while SerumKind was a new brand to me, I really liked the product packaging, design, and concept. As someone with many skin issues, using multiple product steps can be overwhelming. So I really appreciated this brand's focus on minimizing basic steps to balance oil and moisture! I definitely liked their clean and vegan beauty marketing approach, and the product lived up to its claims. It was a basic, clean product that felt comfortable on my skin!
ConsOne downside is that the packaging is quite heavy, making it difficult to travel with. I was worried it might break during transport. The scent isn't unscented, and might be divisive, but I didn't find it unpleasant. Lastly, as I have redness and heat sensitivity, I prefer products with a cooling effect, but this product definitely has some weight to it. However, it's not heavy or sticky at all, and has a nourishing, hydrating texture that I'm satisfied with!

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.ProsMy skin type: T-zone is oily, the rest is normal to dry Frequent blemishes on the chin area With my combination skin, I've been using only very lightweight essences since summer But when fall and winter came, I felt deep dryness... This essence is quite rich, so it doesn't cause any tightness when applied As I have blemish-prone skin, it could've been disastrous if it didn't suit me, but I didn't notice any new breakouts Rather than having special functions, it seems like a great essence for combination skin types to use in fall and winter It keeps makeup looking dewy and helps it adhere well
ConsThe scent reminds me of Skinfood's Black Sugar Mask Personally, I'm not a fan of this fragrance, so it was just okay for me The container has a dropper, but its elongated shape makes it a bit annoying to use I wish there was more product information on the packaging, it's too minimalist
TipIt's a mild and gentle product that's easy to 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.Pros*The Hwahae Testers review* 1. Product packaging First off, the glass container for this product is absolutely gorgeous. Plus, the dropper-style bottle for the ampoule made it really convenient to use. 2. User experience When I first saw this product, I expected it to have a runny consistency, but I was surprised to find it was actually quite rich. Because of its thick texture, it did feel a bit sticky when applied to the face. On the bright side, it gives your skin a beautiful glow after application!
Cons1. The product is said to have a black tulip scent, but honestly, to me it smells more like herbal medicine? It's not particularly pleasant in my opinion. However, I might be getting used to it after smelling it repeatedly... 2. The product itself feels quite sticky when applied, so much so that if you touch your cheek with your palm after application, your skin might stick to it!
TipSince your skin feels quite tacky until the product fully absorbs, I wouldn't recommend applying it in the morning before makeup. It's best used as part of your evening skincare routine.

It absorbs quite well into the skin. With the changing seasons, my skin was feeling dry, but applying just this one product provided enough hydration.
ConsI used it for 3 days, then took a break due to blemishes during my period. When I started using it again, I couldn't really tell if the functional benefits were working. Personally, I'm not a fan of the fragrance.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsThis review is from one of The Hwahae Testers. First off, my skin type is dry, but not extremely so. I also tend to have redness and sensitive skin. After using this product for about 7 days, here are the positives: 1. Rich texture The formula isn't thin or runny, but rather has a thick, honey-like consistency that feels rich when applied. 2. Long-lasting Even after 3 hours of use, my skin still felt moisturized and supple when touched. The staying power is truly impressive! 3. Hydration The hydration was quite good. Despite it being winter, I found myself going out with just this product on my face! During the testing period, I didn't use any other skincare products.
ConsNow for the downsides: 1. Product scent To be honest, the scent made me wrinkle my nose. It has a herbal fragrance that wasn't to my liking. If you're not a fan of herbal scents, this might be hit or miss. For me, it was a miss. 2. Excessive oiliness After using this product for about a week, applying it before bed, I noticed that by morning my skin had developed blemishes or excess sebum, likely due to the high oil content. When applied, it was so rich that it would make oil blotting paper turn transparent. In winter, with the wind blowing, I imagine your hair would easily stick to your face after applying this. 3. Absorption Perhaps due to its thick and rich texture, the absorption wasn't great. Rather than feeling like it deeply moisturized my skin, it seemed to sit on the surface. The poor absorption makes layering this product a challenge.
TipA little tip: if you apply this before makeup, you'll get a gorgeous dewy skin look. Also, for those who like to layer their skincare, you'll need to use very small amounts, otherwise it will pill.

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- It's really firm and makes makeup application smooth. - The ingredients are truly excellent, with no allergens or irritants listed. While using it, my skin stayed clear (though it didn't necessarily calm existing blemishes). - I was worried about dropping the glass container, but I didn't, and the glass packaging is more hygienic!
ConsDownsides...? Can't think of any. While it's good, I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types. Not really a downside, but the actual color is a bit darker than in the photos. The scent might be polarizing - personally, I don't think it's a particularly pleasant fragrance...
Tip- Unless you have extremely oily skin, it seems usable. It works well under makeup and, most importantly, has a firm texture. - Before applying makeup, it helps with dead skin cells and prevents makeup from separating on problem areas. Honestly, this is its best feature. The firmness doesn't feel light. As someone with oily skin, I rarely use such heavy or sticky products, but it might suit dry skin types. My foundation kept separating, so I tried this underneath, but it was still a bit disappointing. Then I mixed it with my foundation, and the result was much more natural!

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.ProsIt absorbed well without feeling like it was sitting on top of the skin or creating a film. The serum filled in the moisture that my cream was lacking, preventing my base makeup from looking patchy. I love that the bottle opening is well-designed with silicone, so there's no leakage when drawing up the product with the dropper. I have super sensitive skin, but I used this without any blemishes. It seems they put a lot of thought into the packaging. It's so pretty, it puts me in a good mood before I even use it!
ConsThere's a slight herbal scent. It's not overpowering, but those with sensitive noses should take note! It absorbs a bit slowly, so if you're rushed in the mornings, you might want to use this as part of your night care routine. Perhaps because my time using it as part of The Hwahae Testers was short, I didn't see the results I was hoping for. It might be best to think of it as just fulfilling basic skincare functions.

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***The Hwahae Testers Review*** 1. The texture feels rich and thick, providing strong hydration. 2. For combination dehydrated skin that feels dry in the morning, applying this before bed eliminates morning dryness. 3. After fully absorbing into the skin, it leaves a moisturized feeling without excessive oiliness. 4. With consistent use, it gives the skin a beautiful glow. 5. The packaging is extremely luxurious and attractive. The dropper format allows for hygienic application.
Cons1. Due to its sticky texture, it doesn't apply smoothly. You need to wait for it to fully absorb before applying the next skincare step, which takes some time. 2. While the scent isn't overpowering, its unfamiliar nature might be off-putting to some.
TipAfter toning, apply small amounts gradually, allowing each layer to absorb fully. This layering technique will result in even more hydrated skin.
