As a BB cream, it has a slight grayish tint but still gives a radiant look. As the hydration evaporates over time, you start to notice the pearlescent particles. It maintains a glow even after hours of wear. Perfect for casual outings in the neighborhood.
ConsThe scent is not great (personal preference). It's a bit disappointing that it doesn't provide sun protection.
TipWorks well when mixed with foundation (due to the color).

The lightweight texture spreads easily, which I, as someone who prefers thinner formulas, really appreciate. It applies smoothly on the skin, feeling as moisturizing as a hydrating cream. I'd recommend this to those who prefer a light, natural makeup look. Also, despite having slightly sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes after use, and it gives a nice glow to dry skin.
ConsFour hours after application... At first, it brightened my complexion as if I'd used a brightening moisturizer, but it quickly reverted to my natural skin tone. As someone who doesn't wear heavy makeup, it looked like my makeup had worn off, leaving me bare-faced. You could call it natural-looking, but if you're expecting long-lasting coverage, you might find it lacking.

I'm absolutely thrilled with how it keeps my skin moisturized underneath while leaving a perfectly powder-fresh finish on top. It's ideal for these times when we need to keep wearing masks! It doesn't transfer much onto the mask, so I use it daily. This advantage more than makes up for any drawbacks. The application is phenomenal - its moisturizing formula gives it excellent spreadability and adherence. It applies in an ultra-thin layer, so you can build it up without it caking. I love the subtle, fine shimmer that gives a radiant effect! You might think a matte finish wouldn't have any glow, but the shimmer makes it look dewy.
ConsThe price of 55,000 won is quite steep. While the quality justifies it, it might be a bit much for those new to BB creams or for students. As for the shade, I was surprised it matched my skin tone so well, as I don't consider myself particularly fair-skinned. I'd recommend this more for those who use shade 23 rather than 21. The coverage... while it does provide some coverage, it didn't conceal everything (like acne scars) to my complete satisfaction.
TipSince the shade didn't match my complexion perfectly, I found that using it over a makeup base and then as a coverage and finishing step worked well for me. (If you find the shade doesn't quite match, give this method a try!)

The fragrance is absolutely lovely. Since my makeup tends to smudge easily, I usually don't prefer heavy coverage, but this felt so lightweight when applied. The shade 21 gave my skin a very natural-looking complexion. I loved how it contained fine, subtle shimmer particles that created a beautiful Inner Glow effect on my skin.
ConsI tried to find something to criticize, but honestly, this is the best BB cream I've used so far. As someone with super sensitive skin, I rarely use color cosmetics except for special occasions due to skin irritation. However, this BB cream is so gentle that I think I could use it daily. It's light enough that it should work well even in summer.
TipI initially tried cleansing it off with just soap, and it came off easily. This seems perfect for people like me who tend to sweat a lot on their face during summer. I plan to carry this BB cream with me to touch up when my makeup gets smudged - I'll just wipe it off with a slightly damp tissue and reapply.

I have slightly enlarged pores on my cheeks, so I occasionally use a primer, but not often. I was worried that the pearls might emphasize my pores or texture. When I first received it and tested it on the back of my hand, I was disappointed because the pearls seemed larger and more artificial than expected. However, my disappointment was short-lived. The next day, when I applied it to my face, it felt different from the hand test. First of all, there was no emphasis on pores or texture due to the pearls. It truly lived up to its marketing claims, giving a natural, subtle glow. Also, perhaps due to the glow, I noticed that my flat forehead appeared more rounded and fuller after contouring. Most glowy foundations and BB creams often leave something to be desired in terms of finish, and with the recent hot weather, I've been disappointed with their longevity under masks. However, the Blemish Balm had a powdery finish, and its staying power was impressive, except for areas that frequently rub against the mask (like the nose bridge and mask edges). The subtle floral scent is also pleasant. Above all, when used with a damp Real Techniques puff, the skin looks flawless. It's surprising how much product they've packed in - when I opened it and stood it upright, some product flowed out as soon as I removed the cap. The glow isn't overwhelming for summer use, and it causes less darkening and oil production than my previous products, which is fantastic! Although the price point might make you hesitate, I think I'll be sticking with this friend all summer long.
ConsFor those with skin tones that typically use the darker shade 21 or lighter shade 23, it would be easy to achieve a natural tone. However, for those with darker 23 skin or yellowish undertones, it might appear slightly grayish or mismatched with the skin tone. It wouldn't be a bad idea to offer a wider range of shades to suit various skin tones.
TipDampen a Real Techniques puff, scoop out a pea-sized amount of Blemish Balm, and pat it all over your face. It gives a subtle glow and makes your skin texture look amazing.

It's not thick, but rather has a slightly runny consistency, making it easy to apply smoothly with your hands without any clumping or pilling. The tiny pearls in the product are super fine, and once applied, they give a natural look that makes your skin appear healthier and creates a beautiful complexion. While the coverage isn't exceptionally high, it seems to be enough to even out redness. I checked the ingredients on Hwahae, and although there were some potentially problematic ones, I didn't experience any severe blemishes after using it for about two weeks.
ConsMy skin tone is a bit lighter and fairer than shade 21, and when I use this, it makes my complexion look duller and gives it a very yellow undertone compared to my natural skin tone. Personally, I'm disappointed with the color. Also, when it comes to removing it, a foam cleanser alone isn't enough. I feel like I need to use cleansing oil as well to get it off completely. When I only used foam cleanser, all the shimmer particles were left behind on my skin.

Coverage I initially thought the coverage was lacking during the hand swatch test, but it's actually better than expected. Using a small amount on a mist-dampened puff and applying two thin layers, it covered redness and most blemishes. It even helped conceal pores a bit. 2. Subtle glow I was concerned the pearl ingredients might look artificial, but as time passed, I noticed a subtle glow developing.
Cons1. Scent The fragrance felt artificial and strong to me. The initial scent reminds me of Bvlgari's purple perfume, but over time it develops a slight laundry soap-like smell. 2. Color range When squeezed out, it has that typical grayish BB cream tint, but once applied to the face, it brightens more than expected and doesn't look dark. However, since it's only one shade, it might not suit those with deeper complexions. *This is a review from The Hwahae Testers.
TipFor those who don't have fair skin, try mixing it with your existing foundation. Using a mist-dampened puff for application enhances the glow.
