  Pros

  This is a review from The Hwahae Testers. The packaging is simple yet attractive, and the container feels luxurious. The pump dispenser makes it easy to control the amount. Being fragrance-free, it's likely to suit everyone without polarizing opinions. The texture is a typical emulsion that absorbs well into the skin without being too runny, sticky, or slippery. As I'm used to lighter formulas, I found it a bit heavy and only applied it before bed. It provides decent hydration for this time of year, though those with dry skin might find it insufficient on its own.

  Cons

  I didn't notice any wrinkle-reducing effects, but that could be due to the short period of use. The lid tends to collect fingerprints, which might make it look messy. It may not be enough moisture alone for winter use. Also, the price point is a bit high.

  Pros

  The Hwahae Testers review: I have combination dehydrated, super sensitive skin. 1. Absorbs well Unlike the heavy, sticky emulsions we typically use, this one is light and glides on smoothly, feeling more like a sunscreen. When applied, it leaves a white cast like sunscreen but finishes with a smooth, soft feel. 2. Less oily I always look for less oily products, and this one feels more hydrating than oily when applied. After application, it doesn't leave a sticky residue but rather a slightly matte finish. 3. No irritation With my sensitive skin, I sometimes experience a burning sensation when applying products incorrectly, but this one went on smoothly without any issues. + It also has a soothing effect.

  Cons

  1. Slight deep dryness Perhaps due to my combination dehydrated skin, I felt a bit of inner dryness after some time. Those with dry skin might find this slightly disappointing. 2. Packaging looks weak The plastic packaging makes it look a bit flimsy and somewhat cheap (reminds me of a certain brand). 3. Expensive price 45,000 won for 100ml seems too pricey. 4. Wrinkle improvement? I'm not sure about this claim. 5. Absorption It tends to sit on the skin's surface, absorbing slowly. You need to keep patting it in for better absorption.

  Tip

  Those with dry skin should use this product along with others. One pump is sufficient. As it absorbs slowly, pat it in thoroughly for best results.

  Pros

  ☆ Texture The texture is a blend of serum and cream. It creates a protective barrier on the skin without feeling sticky, which is great for those with dry skin like me as it prevents the skin from drying out. However, those with oily skin might feel a bit suffocated. Personally, I prefer this kind of application over ones that are too light or heavy like nourishing creams! ☆ After-application feel No stickiness, no shine, feels powdery but with inner hydration ☆ Other benefits No blemish-causing ingredients, can be applied even when skin is sensitive

  Cons

  I didn't experience any! However, due to the nature of the formula, those with oily skin might feel a bit suffocated after application.

  Tip

  To properly experience this product's feel, I minimized the use of other cosmetics! After using a ceramide toner, I applied the 'Banobagi Rejuvenating Vital Emulsion' followed by eye cream. Even with just this, my cheeks didn't feel dry and it felt like it was preventing moisture loss. When I felt I needed a bit more hydration (in the evening), I patted on some toner after cleansing to replenish moisture, then applied the Rejuvenating Vital Emulsion again. This eliminated the need for a separate cream. The best part is that I've been getting small, bumpy blemishes around my mouth due to wearing masks, but applying this product didn't cause stinging or worsen the condition. Instead, it prevented dryness, reducing itchiness. I recommend it!

  Pros

  My skin type is combination+sensitive, and I've recently been dealing with some small bumps and mask-related blemishes. I used this product along with a cica cream for about a week, applying the cica cream on my forehead (for the small bumps) and this emulsion on the rest of my face. The texture is a nice balance between fluid and firm - not too runny or heavy. It absorbs well, feeling moisturizing without being overly sticky. Personally, I found the application quite pleasant. There was no deep dryness, and even after some time, it didn't leave my skin feeling excessively oily. It also felt gentle and non-irritating. While I didn't notice any brightening or anti-aging effects due to the short usage period, I did see improvement in calming my mask-related blemishes. (However, it didn't seem to have much effect on the small bumps.) Overall, I'd say I'm quite satisfied with this product, rating it between 'very good' and 'excellent'.

  Cons

  At 100ml, the volume is smaller compared to other emulsions, yet the price is quite high. I'd hesitate to purchase it without a discount.

  Tip

  If you don't have any specific areas that need extra care, using this product on its own should work well.

  Pros

  1. The results are truly visible. My complexion was quite concerning due to work stress, but now my skin texture has improved and my face looks brighter. It's like a healthy, radiant glow you get from drinking lots of water. I think my redness has also reduced a bit (though I'm not entirely sure about this). 2. It leaves the skin feeling matte on the outside, but hydrated on the inside. It absorbs incredibly fast without being sticky. I used to apply only a small amount of emulsion due to stickiness, but with this, I can apply more as it absorbs quickly. 3. The container seems to be an airless pump. It's great that I can use every last drop.

  Cons

  1. Price: I looked online and there were no sales. At 45,000 won, it seems a bit expensive for the small amount you get. 2. Scent: It has a medicinal smell, like ointment.

  Tip

  I think it's better to apply it at night rather than before makeup. I had an experience with pilling once...

  Pros

  The Hwahae Testers review: Product texture: Not too thin or too thick, just right. Scent: Fragrance-free Packaging: Pump-type container, hygienic and convenient to use. Application: Absorbs well with good spreadability and no stickiness. However, it's not very rich, so it might be a bit dry if used alone in winter.

  Cons

  Wrinkle improvement: I've only used it for 2 weeks, so I'm not sure about its effectiveness on wrinkles yet. Ingredients: While the ingredients are generally good, I'm slightly concerned about the stearic acid and shea butter, which might not be ideal for oily skin types.

  Pros

  As someone who became very sensitive to what I eat and apply after cancer treatment, I'm truly grateful to have discovered Hwahae through my niece. It's been incredibly helpful in understanding ingredients and choosing products wisely. For this product, I trusted the ingredients first and decided to review it. The moisturizer absorbs well and has a great texture. There's no sticky feeling, which I really appreciate. As for wrinkle improvement, I've only used it for a short time, so I'm looking forward to seeing the results with continued use.

  Cons

  It feels a bit dry, possibly due to the changing seasons or my skin being particularly dehydrated. While it might work differently in summer, I think I'll need to apply an additional hydrating cream for now.

  Pros

  * This review is based on a product provided free of charge by The Hwahae Testers * My skin type is combination dehydrated with blemishes, and I have rough patches prone to whiteheads in the U-zone and below the lips 1. Texture It's a standard emulsion - not too runny or thick, with minimal stickiness. While not watery, it absorbs well and spreads easily, covering a large area with just a small amount. Compared to my favorite Ceanic Simple Emulsion, this one is slightly thicker. It's less runny than the blue Physiogel moisturizing emulsion. The texture is just right, making it comfortable to use. It's fragrance-free. 2. Improving Rough Skin Texture This emulsion claims to improve wrinkles and skin texture. Given my age, I can't speak much to wrinkles, so I focused on improving rough skin. I've used it consistently since receiving it, but I didn't notice dramatic improvements initially. However, when paired with another brand's texture-improving ampoule, I saw significant synergistic effects. Neither product alone gave the same results, so I'd recommend using this with other products you may have set aside for lack of effectiveness. The most noticeable improvement was below my lips where I get whiteheads. This area, which always felt rough despite daily care (possibly due to oil or dryness), is now smooth to the touch. My U-zone, prone to deep dryness and roughness from side-sleeping (which wipes off skincare), has also become softer. For this area, using it with a slightly richer cream works even better than with the ampoule. 3. Convenient Pump I love the pump packaging. It's hygienic and prevents spills. Be careful though, as even a gentle press dispenses quite a bit of product. 4. Oil-Moisture Balance As an emulsion, it's not oil-free, but the light texture makes it great for combination dehydrated skin during seasonal changes and winter. It might be too light for dry skin types. Those with normal skin can use it year-round except summer. If you have oily skin and want a light yet moisturizing emulsion for winter, this could work well. While it doesn't provide an intense burst of hydration, it has a good balance of oil and moisture. It feels like it's adding a layer of hydration and sealing it in with just the right amount of oil. 5. Shea Butter I was pleasantly surprised by this. Shea butter is known for its moisturizing properties, but for oily, acne-prone skin like mine, it can sometimes cause breakouts. I didn't even realize it contained shea butter until writing this review! In my younger years, products with shea butter would cause immediate breakouts, but this one seems to have just the right amount for my skin. While I'm prone to blemishes and applied it to acne-prone areas, I don't believe this product caused any new breakouts. 6. Summary Using this alone may not show significant effects, but when used in combination with other products (I used it with a texture-improving skincare product), you can see good results. As an emulsion, it contains some oil but isn't heavy, making it ideal for combination dehydrated skin.

  Cons

  The hydration is a bit weak. While satisfactory for my combination dehydrated skin, those with dry skin might find the moisturizing effect insufficient. It should be fine if you use a separate cream, but relying on this alone might be challenging.

  Pros

  Texture: It applies with a matte coating feel, without any greasiness, slipperiness, or stickiness. It's great that it doesn't feel oily at all, yet provides a coating sensation that prevents dryness. However, some might find the matte coating feel a bit heavy (it's like you could push it around with your finger, though I didn't experience any actual pilling during use). Blemishes: Before using this product, my skin was quite irritated due to an unsuitable cleanser, leaving the area around my nose and mouth red, tight, and tingling (mild contact dermatitis). I was worried about using this product in that condition, but fortunately, it was gentle and non-irritating, helping my skin calm down quickly. As someone with super sensitive skin, this is what I appreciate most about it.

  Cons

  Texture: While the lack of oily residue is a plus, the coating-like application can feel a bit heavy in hot weather. Effectiveness: Due to the short usage period, I'm unsure, but compared to other anti-wrinkle and firming products, I don't notice my skin feeling particularly more firm or elastic. I suppose that's to be expected since cosmetics aren't pharmaceuticals.

  Tip

  Usually, even when I layer on lots of cream before bed, my skin tends to feel dry by morning. To really test this product's feel and effectiveness, I applied two layers without any additional cream, and surprisingly, my skin wasn't dry at all the next morning. Those with oily skin who dislike heavy creams might be able to skip the cream step with this, except perhaps in the dead of winter.
