The texture is similar to softly applying thick Vaseline, giving a wonderfully silky feel. The application is smooth and pleasant.
ConsOver time, the face becomes excessively oily and the tightness is too severe. It feels more like slathering on silicone-infused Vaseline than a nourishing product. (I had two samples and was going to buy it if it was good, but I absolutely cannot... It's been a while since I've had such a bad reaction and gotten pimples.)
TipFor oily or acne-prone skin, this may not be the best choice... 🤔🤔🤔

Lately, my skin elasticity has been decreasing, and I've noticed some enlarged pores and fine lines starting to appear, so I decided to purchase this product. However, when I actually started using it, I didn't feel like my skin was being properly hydrated. It felt very greasy, even more so than regular oils, with a thicker, heavier texture. In the evenings when I would apply it and then wake up the next day, I used to experience some tightness, but after using this product, I felt less of that tightness, and my skin became very soft and smooth. After using it consistently for about 2 weeks, I also felt like my pores looked a bit smaller.
ConsIf you have an oily skin type or your skin's oil-water balance is a bit off, using this product could potentially lead to breakouts or blemishes. Also, don't apply it before makeup, as it can cause your makeup to slide off. I personally only use this at night before bed, and I once made the mistake of applying it before going out, which caused my makeup to completely come off.

It's like mixing cocoa and gold powder into the commonly seen oil balm. It absorbs refreshingly and has good spreadability. It's in the form of a balm but is not at all greasy. Moderately moisturizing (not deeply moisturizing) Dry skin may lack sufficient moisture. The feeling of using an expensive cosmetic product. Missha has made a great cream.
ConsBut three days later, breakouts appeared. Why is that??? It wasn't greasy. I'm scared, so I stopped using it. That's why I couldn't tell if there were any changes in skin tone or wrinkle improvement. I really like the usage and moisturizing power, though... I should try using it again.
TipWhen applied and followed by a mist, it absorbs much better and feels more moisturizing.

It spreads smoothly and has a soft, silky finish, similar to the Innisfree Perfect Repair line. 🦄 It has good absorption. Whether I applied just this product or after thoroughly applying my base skincare, it always absorbed well without any pilling. 🦄 Despite the silky finish, the makeup does not slide off. Cosmetics with this type of finish often feel heavy and coat the skin, causing the makeup to easily slide off, but this product is commendable in this aspect. 🦄 It has the characteristic fragrance of the Korean herbal line. This may be a matter of personal preference, but I personally enjoyed the pleasant herbal scent. 🦄 It has a high oil content. Perhaps due to this, my mom and sister, who used it with me, really liked it a lot. 🦄 The packaging is luxurious. It would not be a bad gift option for older adults.
Cons🐶 There was severe tightness. Even considering that I have dry skin, the tightness was strongly felt. 🐶 I tried applying the essence thoroughly as a base and then using the product, but the tightness remained. 🐶 Breakouts occurred. While I'm not particularly sensitive, I developed breakouts after 3 days of use. Even after the breakouts subsided and I tried using it again, the same thing happened. 🐶 The applicator is inconvenient...haha 🐶 However, my mother, who used it with me, did not have any breakouts and said it felt moisturizing. Therefore, I recommend that those with sensitive skin definitely do a sample test before purchasing.
Tip🐰 Suitable for combination-oily skin types as a lightweight nourishing cream. 🐰 For dry skin types looking to address both oil and moisture, you may want to reconsider. 🐰 Recommended as a gift for middle-aged and older adults. 🐰 As the ingredients are not particularly gentle, I recommend those with sensitive skin do a sample test before purchasing.

Since there was a holiday, I took it with me when I went to my parents' house for the whole time, and applied it diligently without missing a day. The spreadability is really good. It applies smoothly and has a lot of oil content, but it gets absorbed quickly, so the oil doesn't sit on the surface. When layering, I applied it twice, or when applying a large amount at once, it gets absorbed instantly. The scent is nice. The scent is not too strong and lingers at just the right level. It helps to even out my skin tone and texture. After using a peeling mask, my face was reddened and uneven, but it became smoother. I came back from a hot country and my skin became sensitive to UV and tanned. My skin tone was dull. Although it may be temporary, it feels like my skin tone has been improved. The package includes a spatula, so it feels like they put thought into the packaging.
ConsAfter using the Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I've experienced some minor breakouts on my forehead and around my mouth. Those of us with dry skin know that these kinds of blemishes can be stubborn and last a long time if not addressed. I think it's best to only use this product in the evenings and make sure to cleanse my face thoroughly in the mornings. The hydration level is a bit disappointing. At first, it feels hydrating, but my face soon starts to feel dehydrated. Even though it has whitening and anti-aging functions, and I'm already dry-skinned and have been under a dry weather warning, the lack of moisture is quite significant, especially for using it in the winter. The cream container is too large compared to the actual product amount inside. It feels like an overpackaging situation. When opening the lid, I have to touch it with my clean hands, and I worry that the residues of the previous products I used are getting stuck in the crevices of the lid, even though they're not visible, and I end up wiping them off while using this product. I'm disappointed in the ingredients as well. As I've gotten older, my skin has become more sensitive to certain ingredients, and I was quite surprised when I looked at the ingredient list of this product, even though I've been using it.
TipI have a combination skin type, fluctuating between dry and dehydrated. For this product, since it lacks hydration, I found that using it with other products works best for me. Originally, I would apply a nourishing cream or other products, and then follow up with a hydrating cream. But with this product, I found that applying a hydrating cream after using it helps reduce the lingering oily feeling and balances out the moisture levels, leaving my skin feeling more balanced. I've gotten into the habit of always applying a hydrating cream in the morning after using this product. Here's how I've been using it: 1. In the morning, when I need to apply makeup, I apply this product thinly and let it absorb for a bit longer, then follow up with a lightweight, non-greasy hydrating cream. This helps maintain the right moisture balance. 2. In the evening, I apply this product thinly, then follow up with a richer, more occlusive hydrating cream. Sometimes I even add an extra layer like a sleeping pack before bed. This helps my skin feel supple and plump the next morning when I cleanse. However, I do need to be careful not to overdo the sleeping pack-like application - I once applied too much and ended up with some residue on my pillowcase, which led to a breakout near my ear. Moderation is key, just enough to be absorbed without excess.

Just so you know, I have a very sensitive skin type. When I first opened it, I felt a sense of courage that my mom would probably like. The scent was quite strong in one direction. Since I have such a sensitive skin, I was a bit anxious about using it, but since I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I decided to give it a try. The texture is like a balm and jelly hybrid - when you apply it, it feels more like a balm. I scooped out a certain amount and applied it with the warmth of my hands, and it spread well. On the first day, I used only a small amount. I applied toner, serum, and then this on top before bed. On the first day, it tingled a bit. But when I woke up and washed my face, my skin felt so soft and smooth. Anyway, based on my experience, I found that my skin texture improved. If you don't have as sensitive skin as mine, I would recommend giving it a try. I definitely felt that my skin got better.
ConsHmm... if you have sensitive skin, you might want to avoid this. As soon as I applied it, it felt incredibly oily. I don't usually use any oil-based products, so maybe that's why, but it just felt super greasy and shiny. After using it for a few days, I started getting little red spots and some bumps. I had to stop using it. I guess it really depends on the individual, but for me with my super sensitive skin, it was not a good fit.
TipRecommended for moms! My mom is using it well. Unlike me, she has a very strong skin that can handle pretty much anything. She likes the single-note scent and thinks the packaging looks luxurious. If you have sensitive skin, I'd recommend trying it out in small amounts first. But my mom, who can use pretty much anything, is really enjoying it.

I can't believe I received such good luck! I've always wanted to try an anti-wrinkle, whitening, and firming product, so I'll be sharing my review after using it for about a week. The outer packaging seems well-designed, but the actual product container looks a bit outdated for my vanity. However, the contents are more important, and as long as it works well with my skin, I'll overlook the packaging. The texture is that of an oily balm. Since my skin is reddish, firm, and prone to occasional acne, I was a bit worried about using an oily product. As this is my first time trying a balm-type product, I started applying it only around my eye area, where my pores are larger. The balm spreads smoothly and feels nourishing. As soon as it touches my skin, it melts and absorbs quickly. Likely due to the high oil content, my skin feels moisturized for a long time. Normally, my eye area dries out quickly even after using an eye cream, but this product keeps it supple and hydrated. I think this would work well as an eye cream, especially during the dry winter season.
ConsMy skin has been aging quite a bit, so I was excited about this functional product that can help with wrinkles and firmness. However, after checking the ingredients, I became concerned as there seem to be many potentially harmful components, including some that can cause acne. I initially only applied it around my eyes, and the very next day, I noticed small white bumps appearing on both sides. My skin does occasionally develop stubborn acne, but I don't usually get these small bumps. Fortunately, the bumps disappeared on their own after a few days. Since I need to write a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review, I minimized my skincare routine for 3 days, only using cleansers and serums. I then cautiously reapplied the product, this time extending it to my forehead as well. Thankfully, I didn't experience any new breakouts the next day, and after using it for about a week, my skin remained clear. It seems that I need to start with a small amount and gradually increase the application area to allow my skin to adapt to this product.
TipSince this is a product with anti-aging functionality, the original price is quite high at 60,000 won. However, I was able to purchase it during a Missha sale.
