Pros

This is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. Skin type: Oily, slightly sensitive First, my skin type is very oily, but it's not excessively dry. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup, and I'm not an expert on cosmetics, but since I was selected for the Hwahae Trial, I'll carefully write down the pros and cons after using the product. (However, I haven't tried other products (e.g., pore control, etc.), so I apologize that I can't compare it to other products.) #First, it's effective in controlling the overall oil on my face! I usually have a lot of oil buildup, and especially on the day I used the product, even though it was hot and I was sweating, my makeup didn't break down or get overly oily. However, even though I powder-set my eyeliner before applying it, the eyeliner did smudge a bit. My eyeliner is the Aritaum Idol Eyeliner, and that product tends to smudge easily, and I didn't powder-set it thoroughly, so it's not fair to blame this product alone. #It doesn't feel heavy. Hmm.. since I haven't used other products, I'm not sure, but I think if I had added the powder step, which I don't usually do, I might have felt a bit more stuffy. But I really dislike the feeling of heaviness on my face after makeup, and I didn't experience that at all. In fact, it seemed to control the oil so well that I felt less stuffy than usual. #I'm not sure about the powder fallout. I saw some reviews saying the powder fallout was severe, but I didn't really notice it. Of course, there's some natural powder fallout since it's a powder product, but I didn't feel it was excessively bad. But the powder particles are incredibly fine! #The scent also seems to be divisive, but I didn't particularly notice any strong scent. #I have slightly sensitive skin. I haven't had severe reactions where my face gets completely messed up, but if I wear makeup for a long time or use incompatible products, I tend to get a few pimples on my forehead or around my nose, so I'm cautious and try to use gentle ingredients. In this case, the ingredients seem to be gentle, and I didn't experience any irritation or breakouts. The ingredients can't be considered completely gentle, so I was a bit worried while applying it, but fortunately I didn't experience any breakouts.

Cons

The most disappointing aspect is the ingredients. The ingredients are not very gentle. After all, it's something you apply to your skin, and the fine particles are absorbed to some degree, but the ingredients are not great, so while using it, I was worried that it might cause skin issues. The coverage and tone correction don't seem to be that effective. I've used a different product only once before. It was the Hera powder (I think) that was on my mom's vanity (haha), and when I used it, my skin looked smoother, the uneven texture was concealed, and my skin tone looked more even and flawless. But this product didn't have that effect. The unevenness around my nose and other areas was not covered.
