It also seemed to have good moisturizing properties, and the dropper felt hygienic, which I liked.
ConsThe fragrance was a bit too overpowering for me. It seemed to be a natural scent, but the strong smell made it difficult to apply. And after applying, it felt like an oily film formed on the skin.

The absorption power is really good. Since I have dry skin, I need to apply it twice and then put on the cream. For most people, applying it once should be enough. 2. It has a nice glow. The subtle, beautiful glow is so nice.
Cons1. The scent is not great. As soon as I put it on my face, the strong scent hits me. It's like a strange, rotten fruit smell... Since I'm sensitive to fragrances, I didn't reach for it much. 2. For my dry skin, it wasn't moisturizing enough. It felt a bit more oily.

It absorbs quickly without feeling burdensome. 2. It has a refreshing and light scent. 3. It is easy to use with the dropper applicator.
ConsI heard it can be used for oily skin, but when I used it, I got breakouts due to excess sebum. I recommend it for combination skin.
TipIn the final skincare step of applying the cream, it seems great to lightly absorb it like adding a protective layer.

I received the product and have been using it for a week. I received 3 test samples of 5ml each. The test samples came with a dropper, which was very convenient. The oil is not heavy and applies nicely, leaving a refreshing feel. After application, there is a nice subtle glow. Lastly, instead of layering multiple skincare products, I found that using the Pimonche serum twice a week is sufficient, without any tightness in the skin.
ConsWhen I started applying it, I felt it might interfere with my foundation application, leaving an oily feeling. While it may work for those with dry skin, for those with oily or combination skin, using an oil mist instead of the oil might be better. The product applies smoothly, but my cheeks felt slightly irritated. It also takes a long time to absorb, leaving an oily residue on the face. I also noticed that many people are sensitive to the scent. I initially thought the scent was subtle when applying with one hand, but when I used both hands, the citrus scent became quite strong and then faded quickly. For those not sensitive to scents, it should not be an issue.
TipFor those with dry skin, mixing a small amount of the oil into your foundation can help prevent dryness when going out in the winter.

Thank you, Hwahae ❤️ My skin type is combination-oily 😊 [ Product Features ] : The scent and texture(?) might be a bit divisive...! It's quite oily for a typical serum, so for someone like me who is more oily-skinned than combination... I was initially taken aback, but after absorbing it, I was pleasantly surprised and very satisfied! And I usually just use a serum as my base before makeup, but this one felt a bit heavy to use right before makeup... Haha, but that's just my personal preference! I found that using it the night before and then doing my makeup the next day worked really well 👍 I was worried it would be too oily, but it absorbed really well and I was very satisfied - my skin had a beautiful glow (I'm not a weirdo, I promise ㅠㅠ).
ConsThose with oily skin might be a bit surprised by the oiliness when they first try this serum... It is quite oily, after all ㅠㅠ But it worked well for me :)
Tip[ 🍯 Tip ] I always do a facial massage while applying the serum to help it absorb better. The massage helps drain any puffiness and the body heat from my hands aids absorption. Applying the serum alone is good, but doing a massage while applying is a triple win! 🥰 + You can find any facial massage tutorial on YouTube and follow along.

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 is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review. I'm glad the product is in small quantities rather than being too large. I thought it would just be a regular cosmetic since it's called a serum, but it's 100% seed oil. I have combination skin with severe dehydration. When I wake up, my face is just an oil slick. Even as I age, it's still like this... I mix this product into my essence and apply it. It definitely applies more smoothly. At night, I pump the essence six times and squeeze the oil twice, and during the day I add it once, but when I'm outside, the cold wind dries my skin, so I add it twice more. I mix it and spread it on my face, then gently roll it in with my hands to help it absorb. This way, the distinctive scent is less noticeable and it absorbs well. There's also a massage effect. I can definitely feel the moisturizing. I trust this natural product. The packaging is also clean.
ConsI felt the scent was lingering. Ugh... what's this? But when I saw the ingredients, I understood. I'm used to it now. When I used this alone, my skin felt oily and sticky, which was really unpleasant. When I applied a generous amount of moisturizer, the stickiness was reduced, but that wasn't the solution either. I just gave up and went to sleep, and when I woke up, my skin was still shiny and sticky~~ For oily skin, it's better to mix this with other cosmetics rather than use it alone. Start with a small amount and increase gradually. It could potentially cause breakouts.
TipIf you try using it alone and it doesn't work for you, try mixing it with other lotions or essences. The effect seems to improve. Don't just slap it on and be done with it, gently massage it in. It will make your skin even more moisturized and glowing.

ConsIf you don't control the amount properly, it can feel a bit too oily. And while I was fine with it, the scent might be a bit unpleasant for some!
TipWhen mixed with a moisturizer, it feels like it spreads more evenly on the face!

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 is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review. ㅁ It was good that the product was divided into small portions, so I could use it hygienically. ㅁ The spreadability was richer and more oily than expected, which was a bit too greasy for my combination skin, but the moisturizing power was excellent. ㅁ The fragrance seems to be polarizing, but personally I found the passionfruit scent to be fine.
ConsThe downside is that it was too oily, so for someone with combination skin like me, it requires careful dosage adjustment when using it alone.
TipIf you mix it with the gel-type or water-type essence you're using, the spreadability will improve, and it can also help prevent excessive oiliness in the afternoon. Adjusting the ratio would make it suitable for both dry and combination skin types.

It could be just my perception, but I noticed the redness from a blemish on my forehead calmed down the next day after using the serum! The amount seems quite generous, so I think it will last me a while.:)
ConsThe scent of the product...! I couldn't smell it when I first applied it to my face, but the fragrance is really not for me ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ That's why I didn't reach for the product as often ㅠ It does get more tolerable over time, but I think those sensitive to scents might not like it..! Also, for my oily skin, the product felt very greasy to me. Even though I already have a lot of oil on my forehead and nose area, my bangs would be soaked in oil when I woke up in the morning,,
TipThose with dry skin might find it works well for them! For those sensitive to fragrance, I'd recommend trying it out carefully before purchasing.:)

I have sensitive skin that is prone to dryness. After receiving the product and using it for a few days, here is my review. First of all, the serum has a dropper format, so it's easy to dispense just the right amount. It's also very hygienic!!! When I first applied it, the scent was quite unique and very oily, so I didn't even use a moisturizer. But as time passed, the product absorbed into my skin and left it feeling nicely moisturized. And I was surprised by the immediate brightening effect!!! I'm usually not one to notice big changes in my skin, apart from the occasional pimple, but this made my face look so much more radiant when I looked in the mirror lol. I heard it contains natural vitamin C, so I think it would be a great product for those whose skin agrees well with vitamin ingredients!!! The ingredients also seem very gentle, so I feel confident using it!!! 1. My skin texture became incredibly smooth 2. The formula is very oily but leaves a moisturized finish!!! Didn't feel dry at all throughout the day!!! 3. (Immediate) Brightening effect on my complexion! I really want to keep using this product in many ways😊
Cons1. The scent was tolerable for me, but I think it might be quite polarizing for others. However, if this is the signature scent of a natural product, I can accept it😊 2. I think this product is suitable for dry skin! As an oily formula, it might be a bit too much for oily skin types - the oil could get out of control(???) The sebum seems to persist even until the next morning🤫 3. The price is evil,,, I received 3 mini bottles as a Hwahae Reviewer, but the full-size price is 49,000 won ㅠㅠ But if not for the price, this is definitely a product worth using! I'm deducting half a star each for the price and the scent ㅠㅠ
TipI only used this in the evenings, not in the mornings! After thoroughly cleansing my face and letting the water fully absorb, I just applied this and it was enough!ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That's how moisturizing it is🥳 The attached photo is my bare face taken about 3 hours after applying the serum!
