The application is soft and absorbs quickly, and after full absorption, the skin feels supple and velvety without any stickiness. Although the application is quite light, the moisturizing power is good, so if your skin is not extremely dry, you can use it like a light cream instead of an essence.
ConsIt has better oil-based moisturizing power than water-based, so if your skin is severely dehydrated with lack of moisture, there may be some tightness.
TipIf your skin is severely dehydrated and tight due to lack of moisture, you should first replenish moisture with a toner or light moisture essence, and then apply this serum to address the dehydration.

(Redness + Winter Dryness/Summer Oiliness + Inflammatory Acne + Sensitive) I bought this product in bulk based on a YouTuber's strong recommendation, without testing it first. I thought my skin was similar, but only partially. I didn't have any special troubles, and I'm just about satisfied with it. I like the unique fragrance, and it doesn't sting or irritate my sensitive skin. It has moderate moisture, doesn't feel tight, but has a slight oily film. The application is decent. The formula is a light cream texture, similar to a lotion. The pump packaging allows me to use it cleanly without contamination, which I like. The cost-effectiveness is so-so. It's average. However, I don't think this will be a staple product for me.
ConsIt feels a bit more oily than moisturizing, and I don't use it when my skin condition is not good. It's a product that I only reach for on somewhat decent days. I likely won't use it in the summer. I don't think this will become a staple product for me. I've used about half of it, but I don't have the intention to repurchase it yet.

Cons🛑 Texture: It's extremely sticky. It's kind of unpleasantly sticky - when you apply it to the back of your hand and tap your fingers, it stretches out like cheese, and the spreadability is not good either. It also doesn't absorb well and just sits on the surface. 🛑 Oil-Water Balance: The thick texture does provide some moisture, but the lingering oily residue and greasiness are so bothersome and uncomfortable that it overshadows any benefits... Your skin feels a bit suffocated, and there's still something sitting on the surface even the next morning... It doesn't seem to do anything definitively well! 🛑 Ingredients: I didn't feel it was overly irritating when using it, but there are four harmful ingredients. With so many harmful ingredients these days, it's a bit concerning to use. The thick, greasy texture really felt like it was clogging my pores, and sure enough, the harmful ingredients are linked to pore-clogging as well!

I had purchased it just before being selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, thinking I wouldn't be selected, but I was fortunately selected again! Since I already had the intention to repurchase, I will gratefully use it well. 🥰 These days, with the change of seasons, my skin has become too sensitive, dry, and troubled, and when I sit at the office with foundation on, I even felt like my face was cracking. This was the serum I needed. The ingredients are good, so I didn't feel the need to test it on other areas and started using it right away, and my sensitive skin has actually calmed down, and it seems to have filled the skin with an appropriate amount of sebum. I have periodic breakouts and oiliness, but all of this is due to extreme dryness. When I go to the dermatologist, they say my skin is so dry that they have a hard time resolving the oiliness. I purchased it just before receiving the Hwahae shipment, and the usage period is from 9.19 to 10.6. 🕵️♀️ The rating is not a full 5 stars, but I wanted to give it 4.5 stars, but it felt a bit harsh to deduct a star, so I gave it 5 stars. The actual rating is 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 1. Oil and Moisture As a person with a complete lack of oil and moisture, when I used it alone, the oil level felt just right. It's not a formula with a noticeable moisture feel, so I was more satisfied when I used it with a toner. It feels like an adequate serum to replace a cream! My double-wear foundation also absorbs better, and it definitely feels less dry. 😊 Since using it, I no longer feel like my face is cracking. 🙊 2. Before Makeup When I have time, if I let it absorb well before applying makeup, the makeup definitely applies better! With the dry season, I've been covering with a matte foundation, which made it too dry, but the finish and overall soft, moist feel is satisfactory! 🤡 (But on days when I'm in a hurry and didn't let it absorb well, there's no makeup sliding, but the makeup longevity drops significantly. It feels like the foundation is being absorbed along with it?) 3. Texture 🙋♀️ The formula is spreadable like natto, but the texture is smooth like a cream. It becomes soft and supple as it's applied, and then becomes more dense as it's absorbed, so the texture is satisfactory. I immediately feel like my skin texture improves. It might feel a bit heavy for summer, but for spring, fall, and winter, it will be great for dry skin. It's the same. It's full of nutrients! It will fill the appropriate amount of oil! That's the feeling. 4. Elasticity When I used it alone, I didn't really feel the sense that "my pores will shrink!" or "it will become more supple!" But after using it for 2 weeks, the recent dullness and sensitivity have disappeared, and my pores also feel a bit tighter. 🙆♀️ I don't usually think makeup can dramatically improve pore appearance, so I'm applying it to gently moisturize and provide a bit of elasticity, without being too sensitive. (When I used it alone, the feeling of suppleness wasn't as strong, but when I also applied the firming water from the same line, the supple feeling was much more noticeable. If I were to recommend it to someone around me who is looking for elasticity, I would recommend purchasing them together.)
ConsThe product has a good amount of oiliness, which may be suitable for dry skin types but not for oily skin types, as the oil content may not be suitable for them. However, it could potentially be used as a replacement for winter creams. The product has good absorption, but the oily film that remains on the skin takes a while to fully absorb, which may be inconvenient for use in the morning before makeup. However, it works well for nighttime application before bed.
TipI think the combination of using the same line Primera Firming Water and Serum is really a perfect match that fills in each other's lacking parts! First, applying the water in 3-5 layers helps maintain the bouncy and moisturized feeling, and then adding the serum to provide oil and nutrition gently finishes it off, so you can even skip the cream depending on the skin condition that day. It's a satisfying finish with improved elasticity and absorption. As a direct purchaser, I didn't feel it was expensive, considering the frequent online shopping promotions these days and the high satisfaction with the complimentary samples and the product itself. I bought the fabric case set and the composition was great! But if you just buy the full-size product at the offline store at the regular price, you might not feel the same.

I don't think there's enough time to properly evaluate the improvements in elasticity, but I definitely felt that it helped revive my skin that was exhausted from the scorching summer. It has a plump and firm feel to it. When I apply it, there's a wafting soybean aroma, and sure enough, there are soybean ingredients in it. Personally, I like the slightly nutty scent, but I think it's something that can be divisive.
ConsIt's a bit too oily to be considered a typical serum. It feels more like an emulsion. Right now, I'm just using this and a toner for my nighttime routine, and it works great. But I'm curious to see how it'll perform as a pre-cream step during the winter.

The creamy, snail-like texture is quite interesting. 2. After application, there is a noticeable improvement in skin elasticity and a plump, bouncy feel.
Cons1. The price is too high compared to the product volume. 2. Unlike the all-green ingredient list of the Sprout Serum, this product contains some yellow-colored ingredients as well. 3. There is no sense of hydration, and only an unpleasant oily feel. Even when applying a generous amount, the texture remains thick and sticky. 4. The texture may cause a feeling of heaviness. 5. Compared to the Sprout Serum, this product lacks sufficient hydration and does not effectively address dryness.
TipI recommend pumping the product two to three times and mixing it with another cream with good spreadability. Used on its own, even with a generous application, the texture is not very smooth. Although I usually have ongoing acne issues, I didn't experience many small blemishes before using this product. However, after incorporating this product and other items from the same line, small bumps started appearing on my chin and cheek areas, and I also had more noticeable breakouts. Among the trial products I received, this was the one I liked the least. The cream and eye cream were just about okay, but the serum's texture and performance did not suit my skin, leading to the breakout issues. I'm not sure if this review will put me on a blacklist and prevent me from being selected for other trial programs, but I have to be honest that this is not a product I can continue using. The complete lack of hydration and the unpleasant, sticky texture, combined with the breakout problems, make this a very poor product in my opinion. I liked the Sprout Serum, but this one is a complete letdown. ☆
