Pros
I used to struggle with acne in my teens, and now I have combination skin with some enlarged pores and minor breakouts. Thanks to my thick skin, I'm not too sensitive. The Tetraphos cream felt refreshing and provided good skin protection.
Cons
However, as a person with an oily skin type, using it alone seems difficult for me. It feels like it just sits on the surface...? So I need to build a solid skincare routine and apply it that way to prevent excess oil. I tried applying it in various ways based on the detailed Hwahae Trial Reviewer feedback, but the best combination for my skin balance was toner + serum + Tetraphos cream. In conclusion, while having a good skincare routine is obviously important, I didn't see a particularly significant effect.
Tip
I'd recommend using this more in the summer than winter, as it has a refreshing texture. You'll definitely need to have a basic skincare routine in place. I liked that the packaging is a tube, as I found it more hygienic. Those with oily skin types may struggle to use this product alone.

Pros
※ This is a review after using it for a little over a week※ The fragrance was pleasant(?) and it was a scent that anyone could use without aversion. The effects were also better than expected! I didn't feel dry even after applying it just once, and I didn't feel any tightness even after being under a heater for a long time, which was great. I had a lot of milia and angry, large blemishes due to wearing masks, and I was really stressed about it, but the milia disappeared a lot and the angry blemishes also calmed down, which was the best part.
Cons
It's not oily, and when I touched it lightly with my hands, it felt powdery, but when I rubbed it directly, I felt like there was an oily film on the surface. It feels like a film has formed?? But it wasn't unpleasant because it didn't feel greasy. And it felt heavier than a light feeling, so I wouldn't recommend applying it before makeup.
Tip
If you apply it generously at night and go to sleep, your skin will feel soothed the next day, so I recommend applying it at night!

Pros
*Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review* Here is my honest review after using the product for morning and evening skincare from December 2nd to 10th! During this period, the season changed, and due to hormonal imbalance, I experienced some clogged pores and minor breakouts, as well as an unbalanced moisture level, leaving my skin in a terrible condition. <What I Liked> • Texture It applies lightly, like a soothing cream, and leaves a slight oily finish, making it suitable for dry skin types. • No Breakouts I did not experience any new breakouts or worsening of my skin condition during the usage period. • Tea Tree Scent The tea tree scent may be polarizing, but as I often use products with ingredients like tea tree, centella, and madecassoside, I don't mind the fragrance.
Cons
*Downsides* • Absorption The cream texture transitions from a soothing cream to a slightly heavier moisturizer, reducing its absorption. It requires more patting and massaging to fully absorb into the skin. • Scent Preference The tea tree scent, similar to the Mediheal Tea Tree Mask, may be a hit or miss for some. While I personally enjoy it, those who dislike the fragrance should take note.
Tip
Recently, my skincare routine has been cleansing, followed by using aloe gel instead of a toner, and then immediately applying the Tetraphos cream. This routine may not be suitable for those with dry skin, but for those experiencing dehydration or an unbalanced skin condition like mine, it could be a good option. However, if your skin's oil and moisture levels are not in harmony, you may experience an increase in clogged pores, so it's important to customize the routine to your individual skin needs.

Pros
❗️Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review❗️ First of all, my skin is a dehydrated oily type, so it's a skin that needs to be managed very well because it tends to have a lot of trouble! First of all, the product itself is said to be suitable for acne-prone skin, so I was able to use it with more confidence. The advantage here is that I think I've been using it for over a week or so. But at first, I didn't know, but now when I touch my skin, the skin texture has improved! My skin has become really soft and smooth, and I was worried because I had a few inflammatory acne on my cheeks, but that part has subsided, which is really good! The texture of the cica cream is usually a bit sticky, but this product has a slightly more powdery finish than other cica cream textures, which I think was good.
Cons
For people like me with dehydrated oily skin, I don't think it's perfect to apply this cream right after the toner, as the skin doesn't get perfectly hydrated. I felt a bit dry. So for people with dry skin, it would be good to sufficiently replenish moisture in the skin before applying the cream.

Pros
These days, since I've been wearing a mask, and because it's autumn and dry, the skin around my chin has become a bit rough and bumpy. But after applying the cream, it's calmed down a lot. This cream seems to be good for soothing the skin.
Cons
The downside is that when I applied it, it didn't seem to absorb as well as I'd hoped, and had a slightly greasy feeling. But if I wait for it to fully absorb, it doesn't seem to be a major issue.
