Instantly gives your face a glow upon application. As claimed on the website, it provides incredible hydration that makes dry skin rejoice, and keeps it moisturized for hours. However, if you have oily skin... well, it's best to avoid this product altogether. The hydrating power seems to surpass that of a cream, with excellent lasting power. (Of course, I still apply cream afterwards) My skin was originally very oily, so when I first tried this product, I thought it was too sticky and slippery - really disliked it. But now that it's winter and I'm on isotretinoin, making my skin dry... it's truly great for hydration and giving a lovely glow. I've tried three products from Serumkind: Shine Muscat, Yellow Drop, and Deep Antarctica. For dry skin, Black Blossom Drop is worth trying, while for oily skin, I'd recommend Muscat Clearing. *My winter routine: Innisfree Retinol Ampoule --> Serumkind Black Blossom Drop --> Primera Alpine Berry Watery Cream
ConsThe texture is so sticky that it's really difficult to use with the dropper... While Deep Antarctica, Muscat, and Yellow came in convenient mini kit cases, Black Blossom... well, they need to work on the packaging..
TipNot suitable for oily skin. Highly recommended for those with dry skin

The color is beautiful and the scent is subtle, so it's likely to appeal to everyone. When I'm feeling lazy, I skip everything else and just apply this (it's the one-step routine that Serum Kind promotes).
ConsThe dropper makes application really convenient, but it feels wasteful to throw it away each time... I wish the dropper was made of recyclable material! It's a bit sticky, so I mainly use it at night.

ConsSo far, I haven't found any drawbacks, and I'm eager to try other serums from this line

And since I have super sensitive skin, I think it worked well for me because it excludes all the potentially irritating ingredients! I'm definitely planning to repurchase when I run out!
ConsIt feels a bit sticky when you first apply it, but once it absorbs, there's no stickiness left and it feels nicely hydrating, which is fine by me.
TipI find it works even better if you apply it twice in the evening.

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!

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.ProsThe Hwahae Testers review here! I won again~!~! Let me summarize the good points here, and I'll write about the not-so-good aspects below. 1. Hydration: When I first applied it, it felt really sticky, like when you peel off a sheet mask. I wasn't thrilled with that sensation, but it truly hydrates your skin. Now that it's winter, our skin tends to get dry, right? So I've been applying this religiously morning and night. What I notice in the morning is that it's genuinely moisturizing - I used to get flaky skin in the morning, but that doesn't happen anymore. 2. Absorption: Despite its sticky texture, it absorbs surprisingly well. Just drop a bit on your cheeks and forehead, gently massage it in, and after a short while, it's fully absorbed. 3. Soothing: Initially, I thought it might help with my blemishes, but recently, with the change of seasons, my breakouts started again. I was secretly hoping this serum would calm my blemishes, but I didn't see any significant effects in that regard. 4. Scent: At first, the fragrance reminded me of red ginseng candy, but now I've gotten used to it after smelling it so often. 5. Packaging: The container is absolutely gorgeous! It's quite thick - I just dropped it, and even though it's glass, it didn't even get scratched (though I suppose if you drop it too much, it might break). Anyway, the packaging is beautiful, just saying...
ConsAs I mentioned earlier, I didn't see any effect on reducing blemishes. Also, while I was lucky enough to win this product as part of The Hwahae Testers and got it for free, if I had to buy it with my own money, I don't think I could. Considering the price, the effects are underwhelming, and the quantity is quite small...
TipI apply the serum between the toner and emulsion steps. That's all I have to add...

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.ProsHere's my review as a Hwahae Tester after using the product for about a week, morning and night. I prefer serum-type essences and have tried many, so I'll compare this to others I've used: 1. Intense Hydration - With the changing seasons, I usually wake up with deep dryness, feeling like my skin might crack. But with this product, that deep dryness seems controlled. The texture feels like it forms a protective layer, leaving my skin looking dewy and glowing on the surface. 2. Ingredients - I have super sensitive skin that often reacts with tingling or contact dermatitis when products don't suit me. However, this product's ingredients seem good, and it works well for me - I haven't experienced any blemishes!
Cons1. Absorption - While the rich texture is a plus, it's more about the hydration than the texture itself. It doesn't absorb particularly well. I usually consider how a product absorbs since too much friction during skincare can irritate the skin. This product feels a bit sticky and creates some friction when applying, rather than gliding on smoothly. 2. Scent - There's no added fragrance, which is good ingredient-wise, but there's an odd lingering scent - maybe from the black tulip? It smells a bit like onion seasoning... Are onions and tulips related as bulb plants? It's not a typical cosmetic scent, and it's quite bothersome. * Overall, I've only used it for a week, so I can't comment on skin barrier improvement or wrinkle reduction yet - that needs more time. Generally, it's an average 3-star product. (But please improve the scent!) The product's unique selling point seems to be the black tulip ingredient, but I'm not sure of its specific benefits yet. I'm curious to try and compare other products in this line.
TipTo improve absorption and save time, I'm mixing it with an emulsion before applying!

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.ProsHere's a review from The Hwahae Testers: Absorption: ■■■■ Absorbs well: ■■■ Hydration: ■■■■ Soothing effect: ■■■■ Scent: ■■ Ingredients: ■■■■■ The absorption and how well it absorbs are not bad. It has a very rich texture, so it feels a bit sticky after application, but it doesn't just sit on top of the skin. It's a NO for summer, but great for dry autumn and winter months. It has a good soothing effect on the skin and helps with deep dryness. I recommend applying it in the evening after cleansing before bed, rather than in the morning before makeup.
Cons# It doesn't seem to offer much value for the price. # The scent is a bit ambiguous - it's clearly floral, but there's also a subtle hint of something like... herbal medicine? # As for the brightening effect among its claimed benefits... I'm not really sure about that.

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.Pros[ Skin Type: Sensitive Combination ] 1. Application: The Hwahae Testers loved how it spreads thickly yet gently on the skin without feeling heavy. As someone with super sensitive skin who worries about irritation from everything that touches my face, I was pleased that this absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling hydrated without any issues. 2. Moisturizing Effect: I deliberately applied this after toner without any other products. It immediately relieved the tightness and deep dryness I usually experience after cleansing, which was very comfortable. Even when I applied just a small amount of cream on top and went to sleep, my skin felt fine until the next morning. However, in the dead of winter or during extremely dry periods, you'll definitely need to layer a cream on top. 3. Absorption: It goes on with a hydrating feel, but as it absorbs, it leaves a slightly tacky finish on the skin. While it's not an unpleasant stickiness, it did take some time to fully absorb.
Cons1. Dropper Usability: The dropper only picks up a tiny amount of product each time, making it a bit of a struggle to dispense the right amount. It's like the product doesn't want to come up into the dropper... This was somewhat inconvenient. 2. Slight Tackiness: Those who are used to products with a fresh, non-sticky finish might find this doesn't suit them.
TipTips for applying without stickiness! 1. After applying the serum, gently pat it into your skin until it's about halfway absorbed. When you start to feel the moisturizing effect but before it gets sticky, quickly layer on your cream. Blend them together on your skin - this helps reduce the sticky feeling. 2. It works great when applied before using a modeling mask to boost hydration. The result is incredibly moisturizing!

Lately my skin's been losing elasticity and lacking deep hydration After cleansing, I applied toner, then this serum, and finished with a light layer of moisturizer - my skin was glowing and deep dryness vanished!!! As someone with sensitive skin prone to dermatitis from incompatible products, I'm usually wary of trying new items But this caused no sensitivity at all, and most importantly!!!!! Those tiny bumps disappeared ㅠㅠ In weather like this, dryness-induced bumps are my biggest skin concern Whether it's due to its anti-inflammatory properties Or because it balanced my skin's oil and moisture levels I had zero blemishes while using it, and those little bumps actually went away ♥️ It'll be perfect on its own in summer And in winter, applying this then a small amount of cream on top would be ideal
ConsThe unique texture makes it a bit sticky, which is slightly disappointing But it doesn't pill or separate when layering other skincare or makeup on top, so it's fine
TipIf you have a skincare device at home, using it with this serum amplifies the effects!!! On weekends, I apply it generously then use my LED mask, and by the next day almost all my bumps are gone and I have that Inner Glow ♥️
