It leaves my skin feeling soft and comfortably matte.
ConsRecommendedThere's nothing bad to mention, really! If I had to nitpick, I'd say I wish it came in a larger size - I'd definitely buy it again if it did.

I definitely plan to repurchase.
ConsRecommendedThere's nothing to dislike! The only thing worth mentioning is that the scent is quite natural... But you know what? I've found that when products smell too good, they often cause blemishes. So this is actually perfect!

I applied a small amount to my cheeks after using an ampoule and finished with an emulsion. Even with just a little, I could see great results! I think I'll definitely purchase this when I run out.
ConsRecommendedTo be honest, there weren't many downsides, but since I have combination and sensitive skin, using too much out of eagerness sometimes led to minor blemishes. Especially in winter, it's better to carefully control the amount and use it in combination with other products for the best results.

I have super sensitive skin that reacts easily, but this product was fine for me.
ConsRecommendedHowever, it feels a bit too basic? It's like applying thick water to your skin. That's why I'm not sticking with it and moving on.

I was curious about its pore and sebum care claims, so I gave it a try. The texture feels refreshing, and the scent is natural and pleasant. It has a retinol-like color with medium consistency, gliding on smoothly. After application, you can feel the hydration deep within your skin. It strikes a great balance between oil and moisture, making it a gentle serum that's perfect for light makeup. It works hard without being overwhelming!
ConsAt first, I was surprised by the serum's color - I thought 'What's this?' But knowing it's made from natural ingredients puts my mind at ease while using it.
TipRecommendedDuring the dry winter months, I apply this first, then layer a thicker serum on top for extra hydration.

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.ProsWhy I bought it: I purchased this to focus on sebum control as I felt my excessive sebum production was causing constant blemishes. There's a subtle scent - a fresh, powdery fragrance that I quite enjoyed. It's not overpowering at all, so it didn't bother me. I'm nearly finished with the product now, and I have to say, before using this I was really stressed about my pores and excess oil. But it seems to be working wonders for sebum control - my pores appear smaller and the tiny blemishes I used to have have significantly reduced! At first, I didn't see much effect and just used it with a 'let's see what happens' attitude. But with consistent application, I started noticing results! I read reviews saying it takes about a month to see effects, and I was skeptical at first. But it's true - you need to apply it diligently for the sebum-controlling ingredients to penetrate deeply and show results.
ConsI have combination skin with some oiliness. In my evening routine, I use this after toner and before serum, but it seems to increase the oily feeling when I layer other products on top. It's a bit better if I really take the time to let it absorb well.
TipRecommendedConsistency is key! I didn't apply it in the morning due to my makeup routine, but I made sure to use it every evening without fail. Also, I used a separate sebum control product, and I feel like using both together enhanced the effects even more! It's as if the sebum control product works deep down, and this one dissolves what's left on the surface.

It absorbs well without feeling heavy and does seem to calm my skin. While I wouldn't call it amazing, it's definitely a solid middle-of-the-road product.
ConsRecommendedThe price is a bit steep for the amount you get, which is slightly disappointing.

ConsRecommendedI bought this based on a YouTuber's recommendation, but the product page was lacking in details. I ended up purchasing it with some uncertainty.
