REJUVENATING VITAL EMULSION

Not Effective for Wrinkle Reduction

Doesn't Increase Elasticity

Heavy

Leaves a Greasy Residue

Not Creamy

Oily

Causes Allergic Reactions

Not Sticky

Doesn't Cause Breakouts

Pleasant Scent

Moisturizing

Easily Absorbed

Easy to Apply

Refreshing

It may be a bit disappointing if you're expecting a lot of moisture.

It's great that the emulsion can be pumped and dispensed in the amount I want, and the formula is not exposed to air, which is nice.
There was no special fragrance, and the texture is like a soft lotion. It feels like just one application is enough.

I apply it right after cleansing as the first step in my skincare routine, or as the last step. It didn't feel particularly oily, but not super refreshing either - it was just a nice, balanced formula to use.

I didn't notice any noticeable wrinkle improvement effects during the short period of use.
Also, the lid is prone to fingerprints, which can make it look messy.
In the winter, this alone may not be enough moisture.
And the price is a bit burdensome.

This is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review.

The package is simple and pretty, and the container is luxurious.
It also has a pump dispenser, making it easy to control the amount.
The fragrance-free formula means it can be used without any preference issues.
The texture is a typical lotion-like formula, not too watery or sticky, and it absorbs well into the skin.
I always apply lightweight textures, so I found it a bit stuffy and heavy on my skin, so I only used it before bedtime.
Overall, it seemed to be a decent moisturizing product, but those with dry skin may find it a bit drying if used alone.

Hmm, I think it would be too much to use it alone in the winter. I'm planning to just use it before makeup application once winter comes around.

It was a lotion with a light texture and more of a moisturizing feel rather than an oily one. As a combination skin type, it felt a bit drying for me to use alone, especially since my skin has been getting drier lately! I used it together with my mom, and she has dry skin, and she said it was fine to mix it with an oil. While the whitening and wrinkle improvement effects weren't as impressive as expected, I think it's a decent lotion that doesn't cause any trouble.

 As an emulsion, it likely won't provide dramatic effects on its own. The standard approach of pairing it with an essence or cream suited to one's skin type may not be particularly special, but it's understandable.

 As someone who prefers a refreshing finish, the residual feel after absorption is a bit disappointing. It's not a moisturized feeling, but more of a slight oily residue left behind.

Ah! And when it was shipped, the box was quite large and there was a lot of packing material used, which gave a slightly disappointing first impression. I'd appreciate more environmentally-conscious packaging.

 The application is a bit light, so I had to pump it on both cheeks separately to apply it. The application is just about right.
As for the moisturizing power, there is a slight tightening sensation on the inner skin in the beginning, but it's more of a tensing feeling rather than dryness. Since it's an emulsion, the moisture would need to be supplemented with an essence or the like.
After absorption, there's a slight oily residue left, not completely moisturized.

To elaborate further:
On the first day, there was a slight warming sensation (not quite a burning feeling) during absorption.
As it absorbed, there was a slight tightening sensation on the skin. I wondered if it was a tightening effect, and upon touching, the skin still felt moisturized, but the tightening sensation persisted even when moving the facial muscles (the tightening sensation was the same even when using other essences or creams).
The next day, there was still a slight warming sensation during application and absorption, and a tightening sensation after absorption, but this feeling gradually went away as I continued using it daily.

* Additional notes after a month of use post-Hwahae Trial Reviewer: When I apply it in the evening and go to bed, my face feels smooth and polished in the morning when I wash it. Of course, it washes off, but the feeling of my skin being enveloped smoothly throughout the night is something new compared to other products. It's a promising feeling, so to speak.

The price. It's 45,000 won... I'll have to use it sparingly. Plus, when I finish it and try to buy it again, I can't find it anywhere on the internet. The accessibility is really low.

Wow, this is really the best... Yes... As you can see from the reviews I've written, this is the first time I've praised something so highly... 
I currently have 4 toners and 5 emulsions, lotions, and serums at home haha. I'm quite a nomadic person and can never finish a product, so I'll probably buy one more when I finish this one. Except for the outrageous price, everything about this product is the best. But where can I purchase it? The brand itself seems difficult to buy, and the accessibility is low.

As for the product description, when I first applied it, it felt heavy. My skin is not particularly sensitive, but if it feels even a little heavy, I'll get a big cystic acne the next day haha. So when I first put it on my face, it felt incredibly heavy, to the point where I thought 'oh no, I'm in trouble.' But after about 2 minutes, the heaviness seemed to have been absorbed or evaporated, and I couldn't feel it anymore. And the next day when I woke up, I realized, 'this is my holy grail product, my life-changing product.'

When a person's skin has the right oil-moisture balance, the texture becomes smoother, and the visible sebum and dead skin cell production decreases noticeably. This product did that for me. I've tried other mildly acidic products before, and they were just 'okay,' but this one really suited me perfectly. It may only suit me specifically, but for me, this product is an absolute perfect match. When I wake up the next day, my skin texture has become so much more refined ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Honestly, I can't tell if it improves wrinkles in just a week, but I can say with certainty that this is the best lotion I've ever used.

I don't really feel compelled to spend this much money on it.
It would be nice if the packaging was made more eco-friendly.

First of all, it was good that it was fragrance-free. These days, there are hardly any products without fragrance, so there's no real need for it, and even if the fragrance is nice, looking at the ingredients list, nine out of ten times there are concerning ingredients, so I had confidence in it even before checking the ingredients.
 
Even though it's still the transitional season before full-blown winter, so far it hasn't made my skin feel tight and dry after application, so the moisturizing power seems decent.
 
I also used it when my skin was sensitive around my menstrual cycle or when my sleep schedule was off, and didn't experience any particular discomfort.

For dry skin types, it's best to use this product along with other products.
A single pump is sufficient.
Given the slow absorption, be sure to thoroughly pat it in.

1. Slight tightness
As a dry-skinned person, I felt a bit of dryness over time. Those with drier skin may find this slightly lacking.

2. Weak packaging
The plastic packaging looks a bit flimsy and inexpensive (reminds me of some drugstore brands).

3. Expensive price
45,000 won for 100ml is quite pricey in my opinion.

4. Wrinkle improvement?
I'm not sure about that.

5. Slow absorption
It tends to sit on the skin surface and absorb slowly. You'll need to pat it in thoroughly.

✨Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review✨

Moisture-deficient, sensitive skin type.

1. Good spreadability
Unlike the heavy and sticky emulsions we typically use, this has a light and smooth application, similar to a sunscreen.
When applied, it leaves a white cast like a sunscreen, but becomes smooth and soft after fully absorbed.

2. Less oily
When looking for cosmetics, we often seek out less oily formulas. This felt more moisturizing than oily when applied, and left a slightly matte finish rather than a sticky one.

3. Non-irritating
As someone with sensitive skin, I sometimes experience a stinging sensation when applying products incorrectly. But this went on gently without any issues.
+ It also has a soothing effect.

Overall evaluation: Is this an anti-aging functional cosmetic for people in their 20s? It would be good for people who don't want the product to be too rich in nutrients but still want functional ingredients included. Those who desperately need wrinkle improvement should visit a dermatologist!! Cosmetics are just cosmetics.

🤔Personally, I think the amount that comes out with one pump is a bit small. It would be better if the pump mechanism itself could control the amount more easily.
🤔It's difficult to expect anti-aging effects from cosmetics. I didn't feel any improvements in elasticity or wrinkle reduction. It would be better to think of it as a moisturizing product.

😀I'm on a cosmetic diet, and I think I can complete my basic skincare routine with just toner and emulsion, except in winter. When I just have the toner and this emulsion on my vanity, it looks neat and nice.
😀I was worried that the anti-aging functional cosmetic would be too rich in nutrients, but since the target demographic is not the elderly, it feels refreshing.
😀I was worried about the pore-clogging ingredients, but when I used it every other day, there was no acne caused by the product.
😀The fragrance didn't bother me at all while using it. Those who dislike artificial fragrances can use this product without any burden.

I tried to use as few other cosmetics as possible to fully experience this product.
After cleansing with a ceramide toner, I applied the 'Banobagi Rejuvenating Vital Emulsion' and an eye cream.
Even with just this routine, my cheeks didn't feel dry or lose moisture.
When I felt a bit dehydrated (in the evening), I patted on some more toner after cleansing and lightly applied the Rejuvenating Vital Emulsion again, and I didn't need a separate cream. ^^
The best part is that I've been getting small, rough breakouts around my mouth area due to wearing masks, but this product didn't irritate or worsen them, and it didn't dry out my skin, so the itchiness was reduced :)
I recommend this!

I didn't experience this! However, oily-skinned people may feel a bit stuffy after application due to the product's texture.

☆ Texture
It is a blend of serum and cream.
It creates a protective layer on the skin without stickiness, so it seems good for dry-skinned people like me to prevent dryness, but oily-skinned people may feel a bit stuffy.
Personally, I prefer this kind of application over something too refreshing or heavy like a nourishing cream!^^
☆ Feeling after application
No stickiness, no greasiness, fluffy but inner skin feels moisturized
☆ Other good points
No irritating ingredients, can be used even when skin is sensitive

In winter, using this alone might be a bit too lightweight, so it would be better to use a skin toner first and then apply a light moisturizer on top.

1. It had more oil than expected. It doesn't seem like a very lightweight product, so it might be burdensome to use in the middle of summer! (This is a highly personal opinion)
2. Perhaps that's why, in the morning, there seemed to be a bit more oil on my face than usual.
3. Since it's a short-term trial, I'm not sure about the improvement in wrinkles yet.

1. Formulation: It seems like a product that is perfect to use in the autumn season!
2. Packaging: The simple design looks neat and clean. The pump-type packaging is easy to use.
3. Fragrance: The fragrance was almost odorless, which I liked! (As someone who dislikes strong fragrances, this was a good product for me)
4. Spreadability: The product spreads smoothly and evenly.
5. Absorption: The skin retains some moisture when applied. (There may be individual differences! My sister felt it was quickly absorbed, but for me, even after applying this, my skin felt moisturized and fine!)

Normally, I need to layer on a thick cream to keep my skin from drying out overnight, but with this product, I was able to skip the cream entirely and still wake up with non-drying skin, even after applying it in a double layer. For oily skin types who dislike heavy creams, this could be a suitable alternative, at least during the non-winter seasons.

Application: The lack of oiliness is a positive, but the coated application can feel slightly constricting, especially in warm weather.

Efficacy: Since I've only used it for a short time, I'm not sure if it outperforms other anti-aging, firming skincare products in terms of making my skin feel particularly plump or elastic.

Application: The coating applies in a single, matte layer without any greasiness, stickiness, or slipperiness. Despite the lack of oiliness, the coating still provides a comfortable, non-drying feel.
However, some may find the matte, coated application to feel slightly constricting (it may give the impression of being able to push the product with your fingers, though there is no actual slippage during use).

Skin Reaction: Before using this product, I had used a cleanser that did not agree with my skin, leaving my nose and mouth area red, tight, and irritated (a mild contact dermatitis). I was concerned about using this product in that state, but fortunately, it did not cause any further irritation and my skin calmed down quickly. As someone with sensitive skin, this lack of irritation is greatly appreciated.
