Cons🤍The bigger acne-like blemishes haven't gone away completely though. 😔 They haven't cleared up as much as I had hoped... 🤍Plus, it seems like I've gotten a few more breakouts on my forehead, which is disappointing... 🤍I was surprised when a new spot popped up on my cheek the day after I first used it, but it did clear up quickly.
TipI think it's really important to only use a tiny amount, about the size of a pinky fingernail, and spread it out evenly.

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.ProsFirst of all, my skin is sensitive and combination. I came across the product through the Hwahae Trial Reviewers. When I first applied it, the texture felt a bit heavy on my oily skin and I could feel a slight oiliness. However, despite the texture, it absorbed quickly and the finish was moisturizing without any noticeable oiliness. When I applied it before bed and woke up, my skin definitely felt less dry. It's like the moisture was maintained throughout the night?? And the best part was that my skin texture improved! My skin had been feeling rough and uneven due to the sudden dryness, but that issue was resolved and my skin felt smooth. I think this would be great for oily skin types in the transitional and winter seasons!!
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, it's that I did experience some breakouts around my mouth area, which is the most sensitive spot on my face. Sensitive and combination skin types may want to be cautious and patch test, especially on areas that are typically more oily or reactive.
TipI noticed the product contains a small amount of retinol, so if using it during the day, it would be best to also apply sunscreen.

I received the product and applied it every night for 2 weeks. I'm still using it and plan to continue. For the first couple of days, there was some redness, but after that it was just fine. The fact that nothing bad happened when I used it is a good thing, right?! Dry skin can be a hit or miss, but for me, it didn't feel greasy and had a refreshing feel.
ConsI have a slightly sensitive skin. Normally it's not bad, but when I change my skincare products, there's sometimes a bit of redness that comes up briefly. Around my period, I also get some small pimple-like bumps. When I first applied this, it made my skin a bit red for a short while, and I wondered if I should stop using it. But after 2 days, it was fine. I only used it at night, and for the first couple of days, it felt a bit unstable, but after that, it was just normal. They said it's a moisturizing cream, but I didn't really feel like my skin was fully moisturized.
TipThe formula is a bit thick, so the application may not be very smooth. If you apply a generous amount of toner or essence first and then use this product when it's still a bit damp, it will spread more smoothly.

I think I can recommend it to those who dislike stickiness! The scent is not too strong and can be described as a fleeting fragrance. I think it would be fine even for those sensitive to scents. The absorption was quite fast as well! Since it's in a tube type, it was nice and clean to apply, unlike the unsanitary pump type.
ConsFirst of all, I was disappointed that the ingredients contain PEG. It was a cream that was said to be good for mask-related troubles, but I have dry and troubled skin. However, it felt a bit light for use in winter, and I felt a slight dryness. Hmm... I didn't feel like the ongoing troubles were subsiding. After about 3 days, the troubles seemed to be getting a bit worse again in a pustular way. Hmm... I wonder if it's because the soothing wasn't enough due to the dryness? This is a highly subjective evaluation!
TipIf you feel dryness, it would be good to apply a serum or essence with good moisturizing properties before the cream, or mix a bit of oil into the cream. Overall, it seems suitable for normal skin types or thicker-skinned male users.

It's not sticky and feels moisturizing.
Cons☑️Acne: I think there may be an ingredient that doesn't agree with me, as I actually got more acne after using it. ㅜㅜㅜ
TipI recommend applying it in thin layers and tapping it on gently, as applying too much can make it look white and floaty on the surface.

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✔Product Packaging: First, the product packaging is in a tube type, which makes it easy to control the amount and convenient to squeeze out. ✔Spreadability: It's similar to a slightly heavy ointment-type rather than a lightweight moisturizing cream. However, it doesn't spread on thickly, and if you apply a small amount and spread it thinly, it spreads evenly well. I felt a slightly cooling sensation when I first applied it, which I think is due to the tea tree ingredient and its soothing effect. ✔Moisturizing Power: When I applied the cream, I could feel its presence, not just a lightweight feeling. The finish is not greasy, but rather more on the velvety side, and I could feel the moisturizing effect, with my skin feeling well-hydrated. ✔Volume: Even when I applied a generous amount, I didn't feel it was excessive. I tried squeezing out just a small amount, the size of a bean, and it was still enough to make my skin feel moisturized, so I didn't feel the volume was too little compared to the amount I used.
Cons✔As someone who has used a lot of lotion-type products with screw-top lids, I found it a bit of a hassle to have to twist the lid open several times. ✔I mentioned the cooling sensation, but for me, it ended up being more of an irritation rather than a soothing effect. For those with acne-prone and sensitive skin, the tea tree ingredient might actually have the opposite effect. While using it, I was also seeing a dermatologist, and surprisingly, I ended up getting more breakouts. 😂 You can clearly see the increased redness in the 'after' photo. ✔While the cream is definitely moisturizing, the finish is a bit more velvety than I expected. So while my skin felt hydrated inside, the surface felt a bit dry. And after some time, I felt the need to apply it again.

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#Hwahae Trial Reviewer *Product Design* As someone who has been using the Medicube Red Erasing Cream for a long time, the product with a white base and a red accent point definitely gives me the expectation that it will be great for acne!🤣 Interestingly, the back of the product has a space to write the date when it was first opened! I saw this for the first time and it was really fascinating!!☺ *Fragrance* When I first applied it, the fragrance was similar to the one I experienced when using tea tree products, and the slightly greenish color made me think it would be helpful for skin soothing! The texture is good, and it applies smoothly at first, then absorbs and leaves a slightly oily finish. *Texture* The texture is not as thin as I expected. It's moderately firm, and when squeezed onto the back of my hand, it spreads out nicely without being overly thick or sticky.
ConsI really wanted to try the product as soon as possible and observe the changes in my skin before leaving a review! On the first day, I applied it very generously! My skin is extremely sensitive and prone to acne, so I was hoping it would improve, but strangely, my skin got even worse...?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I have a separate nighttime routine, and I usually do a light moisturizing care in the morning. I noticed my skin improved a lot overnight, but after my morning care routine, my skin would feel irritated, itchy, and new breakouts would appear throughout the day. After experiencing this for a few days, I concluded that this product just doesn't work for me!ㅠㅠ After checking the ingredients, it was indeed because of the retinol content. I had a similar issue with another brand's product that had a high retinol concentration, and my skin ended up in a really bad state.ㅠㅠㅠㅠ For those who have sensitive skin that reacts poorly to retinol, it's absolutely essential to check the ingredients carefully and use the product with caution!😭😭
TipIt's not that retinol is bad for everyone though! The skincare set that caused my skin to react badly before, my dad ended up using it, and he hasn't experienced any breakouts or irritation at all!! It seems like there are some people who are more sensitive to retinol, and unfortunately, that's just me.😂

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.ProsMy skin type is wide pores, and if I don't care about exfoliation and sebum control, I get frequent breakouts. It's not extremely dry or oily, but I'm very focused on pore management. The absorption seems to be light, but it gets absorbed quickly. The moisturizing sensation is not very intense, it feels like a thin layer on the skin. I couldn't really feel the lasting effect~ The cream itself is not a hydrating or nourishing care product, but a functional cream, so my skin didn't get oily or dry over time. I personally like the tube packaging. But the downside is that it's hard to control the amount. The application is smooth. Some acne-prone creams can be difficult to spread and clump, but this one applies well~ The scent is also not too strong for me.
ConsI had high expectations for this acne-prone, pore-managing functional cream. After using it morning and evening for about a week, I started getting more breakouts. At first, I thought it was due to my skin condition, but when I reduced the usage to just evenings and took a break from the cream, the white heads decreased, and I didn't get new ones. It seems like there must be some ingredients in the cream that clog my pores.
TipDifferent ingredients work for different people, so if it suits you, it could be a good care cream.

After using it for 2 weeks, my skin became cleaner to the point that people were telling me my skin looked better for about a week! And the amount is more than expected, so I could apply it without any burden.
ConsSince it's too rich, my skin has been turning over after applying it daily... It seems better to apply it only to the areas with blemishes, once every two or three days, rather than applying it daily.
TipMake sure not to apply it daily or in large amounts!! Just dab a small amount on your face and let it absorb thoroughly!!
