I recommend it for oily skin.
ConsThe smell had a very strong alcohol odor. And when I only used this, it made my skin too dry, so I had to apply something else separately.

It's not heavy and absorbs quickly. The fragrance has a slight alcohol note, but it dissipates quickly. Due to wearing masks, I've had a lot of breakouts in the mask area, and while I can't say the product completely eliminated the breakouts, I do feel they've become less pronounced. It seems to effectively control oil. I think it would be very beneficial for dry skin types, especially in the summer when they tend to get oily and develop blemishes. I have large pores in the 'butterfly zone', and while I'm not sure if the pores have shrunk yet, I'm hoping it will help prevent them from enlarging further in the summer. When I apply this and then do my makeup, my skin looks great, and I tend to have fewer breakouts in the evenings! I'd recommend this not only for oily, combination skin, but also for dry skin types who tend to sweat a lot in the summer.
ConsThe price and volume are a bit concerning.
TipAfter applying this, my foundation applies really nicely! I usually get a breakout or two after putting on foundation, but that doesn't seem to happen when I use this first. So I'd recommend applying this before your foundation.

I have used the Clinanance Expert Emulsion product more than 2 bottles and currently have 2 products, so I will compare the 2 products. 1. Excellent sebum control effect I have an oily and acne-prone skin. In the past, my sebum secretion was severe, but now that I have been using various cosmetics, my skin condition has improved a lot and my sebum secretion is not that severe. However, acne still comes and goes. I usually do skincare (usually including AHA/BHA -> a light and moisturizing serum -> a moisturizer), and when I wake up the next day, my face becomes slightly shiny since I have an oily skin. The biggest thing I felt after using this product for a few days is that my face doesn't feel shiny and greasy when I wake up, but rather feels soft. Even without using AHA/BHA toner, I felt that this product alone reduced my sebum secretion. If you have an oily skin and are troubled by the greasy feeling due to oil secretion, I think it would be good to try this product once. I also felt that the sebum secretion was somewhat controlled when I used the Clinanance Expert Emulsion, and the effect was similar between the two products. 2. Acne calming effect The areas where acne was about to appear had calmed down after using this product. In the case of already formed inflammatory acne, it calmed down more than before, but there was no complete disappearance effect (for severe acne). 3. The serum is a little more moisturizing than the emulsion When I applied half and half on my face, the Clinanance Expert Emulsion had a light lotion texture, while the Clinanance Power Control Serum had more of a serum texture and was a little more moisturizing. However, since this is a product aimed at sebum management, if you are not extremely oily, you may need to apply a light moisturizer on top to prevent dryness.
ConsAs many have pointed out, the smell is not good. There is a bit of an alcohol smell. After researching, it seems the core ingredients are the reason for this. I recommend testing it out before purchasing. The smell lingers after application, with a strong alcohol scent. The emulsion has a much better fragrance, with a baby powder-like scent, so I would recommend the emulsion for those concerned about the fragrance. For those with dry skin, this product may be drying. It would be better to use it together with a more moisturizing product.
TipThis product seems to have a more definite sebum control function rather than an acne calming effect! Since it has a similar sebum control effect as the Clinanance Expert Emulsion, I recommend comparing the two and using the one that suits you best. The Power Control Serum is a bit more moisturizing as a serum product, but it has an alcohol-like scent. The Expert Emulsion is a lightweight lotion product with a more neutral powdery fragrance.

Coincidentally, I won a prize for the brand I was using, so I'm leaving a review here😁 👍🏻 The texture is similar to a regular serum, with a lightweight gel texture! 👍🏻 The moment you apply it, it doesn't feel heavy or sticky, and it absorbs quickly and refreshingly! 👍🏻 As the weather gets warmer, I've been getting oily around my nose and getting pimples around my mouth, but it has oil control and soothing effects! These days, when the weather is getting warmer, the oil comes up and it feels sticky, but it has good absorbency and applies lightly, so it's easy to use morning and night without any burden🙆🏻♀️
Cons❗️The alcohol scent is strong! In my case, I'm not sensitive to the smell, so it wasn't uncomfortable, but those sensitive to scents may find it unpleasant! ❗️The fast absorption can be an advantage, but it might feel drying for dry skin! So it seems better to use it in spring and summer than in winter! Dry-skinned people should test it before purchasing! ❗️The price seems a bit burdensome compared to the amount!
TipI have dry skin, so I apply a moisturizer on top in the evening after letting it absorb! So I didn't really feel any dryness! I'll try using it well for oil and acne control👏🏻

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.ProsI was surprised by the alcohol smell when I first used the product, so I immediately checked the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. There were some negative reviews, and as I have sensitive skin, I was very worried that it might cause a breakout. But the next day, I found that there were no issues at all, and my skin actually felt clearer. After using it for 5 days, morning and evening, I noticed the following good points: ✅ Good spreadability and lightweight texture ✅ Quick absorption, as advertised ✅ Pump dispenser is great, provides a refreshing application ✅ Definitely helps with sebum control (Acne management also seems to improve naturally) Based on my experience so far, I am very satisfied and plan to repurchase.
Cons☑️ The scent is surprisingly strong, with a prominent alcohol note ☑️ As a sebum control serum, it may not be suitable for those with dry skin. (This serum is more appropriate for those with oily/acne-prone skin.) ☑️ As mentioned, it lacks moisturizing properties, so it may not be suitable for standalone use. A cream would be necessary.
TipMy skin seemed to be improving with the reduced breakouts, so I used it morning and evening. However, due to my sensitive skin, my skin would sometimes become red and feel irritated. So I've been alternating it with the serum I used before. After repurchasing and using it a couple more times, I found it was a bit too much for my skin, so I've discontinued using it for now.

Surprisingly, it suited me well and I used it well in the summer. I didn't feel like my trouble was subsiding, but in terms of sebum control, it was good. After all, I think sebum control needs to be done first in order to reduce small pimples. It absorbs almost immediately when applied, so there's no burden and it keeps the oiliness from coming back, which was good.
ConsThere's a strong alcohol-like scent, so there may be some love-hate reactions. Except for the summer, it's definitely extremely drying, so it might be good for oily skin types. Sometimes when I'm sensitive, there's an accompanying stinging sensation.
TipWhen it gets too dry after applying, I generously apply a moisturizer on top.

However, I purchased a recommended power serum, and it's been amazing. It's a gel type that absorbs quickly, and even though I thought it might be drying, it's actually very hydrating. It's helped minimize my pores and reduce blackheads - after about 2 weeks of using it, my skin has improved so much. It regulates my oil production really well, and my inflammatory blemishes have calmed down a lot. If I keep using it consistently, I think my skin will get even better. I highly recommend this product!
ConsThe amount seems a bit small, but I guess that's because it's a spot treatment. I've been using it for over a month, applying it all over. It does have a bit of an alcohol scent at first, which can be a bit irritating, but that goes away quickly. It feels like it's disinfecting my skin, so I actually like that aspect of it.
TipI was also recommended to use this together with a clarifying gel, and using the two products together has helped me see results even faster. It's important to apply it consistently, morning and night, right after cleansing.

Since I have sensitive skin, I couldn't apply too much at once. At first, I only applied a tiny bit, about the size of a bean, but my skin seemed fine, so I've been continuing to use it. It has oil control effects. When I look in the mirror before bed after applying it, my face looks brighter. The next day, any blemishes have calmed down.
ConsThe scent is really... The alcohol smell makes me frown. The alcohol smell goes away after a few seconds, but even after that, the smell isn't very pleasant. The ingredients... aren't really that great.
TipI used an amount the size of a bean on one cheek. In the summer, I think this would be good for combination or oily skin types, where just applying a moisturizer on top would be enough.

Cons✔ As soon as I apply it, a strong alcoholic scent hits me. The ingredient list doesn't seem to contain any alcohol, but the fragrance is uncomfortably strong. ✔️ The texture is thicker and heavier than expected. Typically, I expect serums to be more lightweight and essence-like, but this is closer to a cream. ✔️ When I use it in the morning, the heavy texture can cause my makeup to appear uneven. It seems better suited for nighttime application. ✔️ While I'll need to use it more to see the full effects, so far the results haven't been dramatic, so I'm currently not planning to repurchase.
