Pros
The product has a certain degree of soothing and control effect on troubled skin. The application feels smooth and the absorption is quite refreshing.
Cons
The alcohol scent? It's a bit harsh at first for me ㅜ but it dissipates quickly.

Pros
I leave a review after using the product for about a week as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. - While it's not a completely water-based formula, it has a somewhat watery gel-like texture, so it applies lightly and doesn't feel sticky, and it seems to absorb quickly. It feels like a good item to apply in the busy mornings, and it seems more suitable for the summer when you want to apply something light and refreshing, rather than the dry winter. - The most surprising thing is that it manages to maintain a subtle moisturizing effect. Compared to most products that control sebum and tighten pores, which tend to be drying, this product has good moisturizing power, so you can finish your skincare routine with just skin, serum, and lotion (moisturizer) steps. For those with oily skin, using it as a serum might be enough, but for my dry skin, the serum alone wasn't quite enough for sufficient hydration. - True to its name as a trouble-care serum, it seems to control sebum well, reducing the frequency of blackheads and whiteheads forming. It also has a pore-tightening effect, making the skin feel more firm and elastic. The pore-tightening effect also seems to help the next skincare steps absorb better. Despite having a strong fragrance and containing 2 potentially harmful ingredients, it didn't seem to cause any skin troubles. - The pump packaging is nice and hygienic. I've heard that cosmetics can deteriorate the more they're exposed to air, so the pump design minimizes air exposure, so the product likely won't go bad easily.
Cons
The alcohol scent seems stronger than other products. It feels like pouring alcohol on my face when applying, giving an unpleasant feeling that it might not be good for my skin. For those with dry skin, the moisturizing may be a bit lacking.
Tip
Using the Round Lab Dokdo Toner -> this product -> Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream helps maintain the moisturizing effect.

Pros
👩🏻Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review👩🏻 🔅Volume: 30ml The good thing was that the formula was light and refreshing, just as described. As a result, it absorbs incredibly quickly. It's not sticky or greasy at all.
Cons
1️⃣The smell is too strong. It's a mix of alcohol and glue-like scents. It's not the earthy, natural plant smell, but more of a synthetic adhesive smell. The smell is a bit unpleasant when applying it...(this may just be because I'm sensitive to fragrances) 2️⃣I heard this was optimized for acne-prone skin, but I didn't see any effects. As you can see in the photo below, there's not much of a difference. In fact, on the first and second day of using it, my skin actually became more irritated, but it's calmed down a bit now. I guess if I use it consistently, there might be some effects...? I've only used it for 9 days, so I'll try to stay hopeful!

Pros
I received the product from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. First, my skin has more sebum and blackheads rather than major acne, and it's generally an oily skin type with an especially oily T-zone. 1. When I used a small amount, it spread widely without being irritating. When I used a larger amount, it had a moisturizing texture and absorbed quickly, so I didn't feel like I had used a lot. 2. The serum has better spreadability than regular serums, so it doesn't feel heavy even when I use multiple layers. It also doesn't feel greasy later on. 3. The pump packaging is very convenient - just one press dispenses the right amount of serum.
Cons
1. The scent is quite strong, almost like alcohol, right after pumping it out, which can be a bit unpleasant. (Personally, I was able to tolerate it.) 2. I cleanse my face in the morning and evening, but since I apply makeup on top in the morning, I only used it at night. Over the past week, I didn't really notice significant improvements in my skin, such as reduced acne or better oil control.
Tip
I applied the serum and let it absorb well before moving on to the lotion step! The serum absorbs quickly and leaves a soft, smooth finish, but be sure to follow up with the lotion for even better absorption and hydration!

Pros
[Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review] I usually use Avène products for cleansing and acne-soothing creams! 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!
Tip
I 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👏🏻

Pros
I received this product as a winner of the Hwahae Event:) 1. Texture & Application This product was not a runny formula! So I thought it would apply thickly, but it actually spread smoothly and refreshingly, which I liked. 2. Packaging The pump-style packaging was convenient to use.
Cons
1. Fragrance As soon as I applied it to my face, a strong acetone and hand sanitizer-like scent hit me, and it was too pungent, which surprised me. I'm not very sensitive to fragrances, so I just endured using it, but I wouldn't recommend it to those sensitive to scents. 2. Breakouts I started getting minor breakouts after using this product. I used it for about 2 weeks, and my skin just kept getting worse. I guess this product didn't agree with my skin.😢 3. Price I received this through the Hwahae event, but I personally think the price is a bit high for individual purchase. As a student, I felt it might be a bit expensive, especially for fellow students.
Tip
I don't recommend applying this before makeup. When I tried it before makeup, my makeup didn't apply well.ㅠㅠ I suggest using it after cleansing in the evening instead!

Pros
🍀I was able to use the Hwahae Trial Reviewer for 10 days thanks to winning the draw🍀 The texture looked a bit watery to me, but it turned out to be thicker and had great spreadability, so it applied smoothly. I was worried it might lack moisture since it claims to have oil control, but even as someone with dry skin, I didn't feel it was drying at all. In fact, in this increasingly hot weather, the fresh finish and oil control function make it feel light on the skin, which is great! It absorbs quickly before makeup application, so there's no pilling or slipping. After using it for just 10 days, my pores haven't tightened noticeably yet, but I'll keep using it. Thanks to this product, or maybe just coincidentally, the big hormonal breakouts I usually get around my period passed by without much trouble this time!! I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes next month when I can check more closely.
Cons
When I first used it, I was surprised by the strong alcohol scent. I've used Avène mists and cleansing milks before, and as a brand that uses thermal spring water, they have a very gentle, almost unscented fragrance, which I liked. But this product has a very prominent alcohol smell that stings my nose a bit when I apply it. I have to hold my breath for about 5 seconds while putting it on. Luckily, the lingering scent after that is unscented, so it's just the initial application that's a bit unpleasant. If you can get past those first 5 seconds, it's fine! I had to deduct a star because of the fragrance.
Tip
Hold your breath for about 5 seconds when applying - the alcohol scent is strong at first but then fades to unscented. Also, if you use different lotions for morning and evening, I'd recommend using this product in the morning rather than at night. The fresh finish and quick absorption make it great for under makeup.

Pros
I'm a person with oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin. I tend to break out easily, even from just using any product or suddenly changing my skincare routine, or even when the water doesn't agree with me during travel. I'm an extremely sensitive skin type. When I moved recently, I think my skin got more sensitive. After cleansing with this product, I applied it as my only skincare and went to bed. Gradually, my breakouts started to subside. The texture of the product is not too thick or watery, and it applies smoothly without any stickiness! I only used it at night before bed, not during the day when I was wearing makeup. I think it's good to apply a small amount to problem areas, but I applied it all over my face.
Cons
1. There is a very strong alcohol smell when using this product. The smell lingers even after application. 2. The product volume is a bit small. It would be great if they could make a larger size.
Tip
I didn't use this during the day because of my makeup, but I applied it generously at night before bed. It didn't feel tight or uncomfortable, and I noticed a calming effect on my breakouts in the morning. I think applying it liberally at night could be a good approach for others like me as well.
