- Hwahae UserCombination SkinApr 30, 2025
As someone with light cool-toned combination skin (not too dry or oily, but suits a glowy finish) in shade 19, I find this foundation creates a beautiful skin-like finish with a nice glow. It's moisturizing and, best of all, evens out my complexion beautifully. It's truly disappointing that I can't use it due to blemishes. Why, oh why did this have to happen?! I used this for about 3-4 days recently, and from the very first night, my face started itching and small and large blemishes appeared. I've never had issues with blemishes before, and even if I got the occasional spot, it would disappear after a good night's sleep. But while using this, the blemishes kept increasing and the itching got worse. After stopping use, my skin is slowly recovering. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinFeb 23, 2024
It really brightens up my complexion! I love a natural, translucent skin look, and this works great as a brightening moisturizer. Oh no... My skin was in such great condition lately, but after using this, I broke out in folliculitis, blemishes, and hives. It was like mosquito bites... so itchy I thought I'd die. At first, I thought it was because of the cold when I went to see snow at Daegwallyeong, but when I applied it again and got the same symptoms, I realized it was this product. The hives went down quickly, but the folliculitis... though small to the touch, left about two inflamed red spots that lasted for a week. Also, while I usually like white brightening moisturizers for their whitening effect, since I have some redness and a cool winter complexion... when I apply this, I seriously look like I'm drunk! I really didn't like it. Good for those with yellow undertones. If you have redness, avoid this! You'll end up looking like a carrot. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinOct 24, 2023
I've always loved Emily products and tried various ones. After using the purple cushion and my regular cushion, I loved it so much that I bought Dohwa for my daily work makeup! It's so beautiful that I used it for a day and bought a refill right away! The skin finish is gorgeous. If you apply it generously and wait for 10 minutes, you get a beautiful brightening effect. It gives a transparent finish like a sun cushion rather than a base, but without the oily sheen. I keep getting blemishes... It's itchy. When I don't use it, I don't itch, so it's definitely the product. I kept all other conditions the same except for using this cushion! If I scratch the itchy spots, blemishes appear right away... It's so beautiful that I bought a refill after using it just once. It was exactly the skin finish color I was hoping for, but I can't use it due to blemishes! If only it suited my skin, I would have continued using it. There are quite a few similar reviews, so please make sure to use it for a few days before buying a refill. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinJul 11, 2023
When applied with the right amount, it naturally evens skin tone and the color is beautiful, completely correcting any yellow undertones. This product seems to have more drawbacks than benefits. First, even though I don't have particularly sensitive skin, whenever I apply this product, my cheeks become red and itchy. The staying power is quite short, even with powder applied. As time passes, it also becomes quite oily. I'm not sure if it really gives the beautiful finish shown in advertisements. Those with super sensitive skin might want to avoid this product. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinJul 4, 2023
I love doing my skin makeup thin and natural even if there are imperfections, so I'm on my second compact of this cushion foundation. This cushion is great for evening out the complexion and enhancing skin texture. It makes your skin look healthy and creates a radiant finish - perfect for that! I apply this cushion all over and only use concealer on my butterfly zone and T-zone. It would be great for those aiming for or starting a foundation-free look. The staying power isn't bad either. I used it in winter, tried another cushion, and came back to this one in summer. It tends to pill when used in winter. Regardless of the season, if your skin condition isn't good or lacks hydration, it seems to pill almost without fail... It also severely emphasizes dead skin cells. The pilling is different from other cushions... Due to the cushion's characteristics, when it pills, it really pills noticeably white, haha. I also experienced some itching, and it felt slightly dry after some time. With proper skincare, my deep dryness disappeared long ago, so it's fine now. But when I had deep dryness in winter, it pilled a lot as time passed. If you keep your skin deeply hydrated, it absolutely won't pill and gives a beautiful skin finish. It creates a subtle glow + matte but moisturized look - truly amazing. This cushion is fantastic if you can balance your oil and moisture well. If balancing oil and moisture is difficult for you, I wouldn't recommend it. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJun 24, 2023
I've never felt my skin look noticeably lighter than my natural complexion with most brightening moisturizers, but this product is the only one that actually made my skin appear visibly brighter than my original tone. On the first day of use, I felt some itching on my face but didn't think it was from this product. By the second day, after removing my makeup, I noticed rash-like bumps all over my face. Even my forehead, which has never had blemishes before, broke out. It's been years since I've had cystic acne, but after using this, I developed some around my chin area. I deeply regret not checking the Hwahae reviews before making this decision. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 11, 2023
It really evens out my skin tone naturally, giving that 'no makeup' look After using this, my face felt a bit itchy and I got some blemishes... Is there a gentle alternative with better ingredients? - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinMay 4, 2023
The skin finish is absolutely mind-blowing! It creates a radiant, translucent, and truly beautiful vitality. The complexion looks incredibly lively and the staying power is no joke! First off, if you have dry skin, this can be quite drying. But the most crucial issue is... when I use this alone, my skin gets itchy and dead skin cells appear like crazy. I usually have resilient skin that doesn't react to most products, but after using this for a few days, my skin became irritated and dead skin cells appeared in droves. It took a week to restore my skin. I really love this cushion, but due to my skin's reaction, I can't use it anymore. If you have dry skin, make sure your skincare routine is solid! Also, since it can cause significant skin irritation, be sure to patch test first. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinMar 27, 2023
This seems like it's meant for people with flawless skin who don't have a single blemish in sight I wouldn't recommend this for anyone with even the slightest blemishes. More importantly, my skin completely freaked out after using it. When I applied it all over my face, there was a slight itching sensation, but I washed it off quickly so I didn't think much of it. Suspecting it might be this product, I tested it by applying only to my forehead. The result? Itching, redness like an allergic reaction, swelling only where I applied it, and tiny bumps popping up everywhere. I've never experienced anything like this with a product before, so I'm quite shocked... - Hwahae UserDry SkinMar 26, 2023
It naturally creates a cool-toned complexion, making it perfect for special occasions! After washing it off, I get a combo of blemishes and tiny bumps all over my face. My skin becomes dry and unbearably itchy. If it weren't for these issues, I'd keep using it. But after finishing this bottle, I don't think I'll buy it again as it makes my super sensitive skin even more reactive. It looks beautiful if you apply a thin layer twice while continuously spraying mist
