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.
Cons1. 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.
TipThose 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.

Texture: Perfect for the upcoming fall season! 2. Packaging: The simple design looks clean and sleek. The pump-type container is convenient to use. 3. Scent: I loved that it's almost fragrance-free! (As someone who dislikes strong scents, this was a great product for me) 4. Application: The product absorbs smoothly and evenly. 5. Absorption: It retains some moisture when applied to the skin. (This can vary from person to person! My sister experienced deep dryness quickly, but I found it moisturizing enough even when used alone after cleansing!)
Cons<Cons> 1. It was oilier than expected. It's not exactly a lightweight product and might be a bit heavy for midsummer use! (This is just my personal opinion^^) 2. Perhaps because of this, I felt like my face was a bit greasier than usual in the morning. Or was it just my imagination? 3. Since I've only used it for a short time, I can't really tell if it's improved my wrinkles yet.
TipFor winter, this might be a bit light to use on its own. I'd recommend using a toner before and layering a light moisturizer on top for best results.

First, I was pleased to find that it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients, and upon application, I loved that it's fragrance-free. As someone with super sensitive skin, I prioritize ingredients when choosing cosmetics, so I'd give it top marks for that aspect. I prefer fragrance-free products over artificial scents, and this product was exactly that! I was so happy that it truly had no scent at all. Absorption: Excellent Hydration: Good Texture: Excellent To summarize briefly: It's a light emulsion, so it absorbs well and has a great texture! However, I immediately noticed it lacks a bit in hydration. As someone with extremely dry skin, I felt I needed to apply 2-3 layers before I could feel the hydration kicking in. In conclusion, I'm very satisfied after using it for a week due to its excellent ingredients, fragrance-free formula, and superior absorption!
ConsWell... as I mentioned earlier, the hydration level could be better. Of course, it's not marketed as a super hydrating product, so those who aren't too concerned about hydration might find it satisfactory. If I had to mention one more thing, I was surprised by the price when I looked it up. I received this product as part of The Hwahae Testers program, but if I were to consider purchasing it again, I might choose a more cost-effective option. While I really liked the product itself, the price is a bit steep for me. I think it would sell better if they offered more discounts or competitive pricing strategies.

The color is totally my style... love it! Texture: It's not sticky and doesn't run. Application: It applies lightly and smoothly with a fresh feel. Overall impression: It absorbs quickly, and while it feels fresh when applying, I wasn't expecting much. But right after application, my skin felt so firm and bouncy - I was really impressed! I found myself admiring it in the mirror. I've been using it for about a week, and so far there have been no blemishes or irritation on my dry, sensitive skin. I apply it after my morning cleanse and before bed. It's supposed to be an emulsion that turns back time for your skin - I'm hopeful! I'm sure using it daily will show results. I'll add to this review if I notice any changes with consistent use. Based on a week of use, I would repurchase. The product is pretty good, and the packaging is beautiful too!
ConsSo far, I haven't found any downsides. If any come up with continued use, I'll be sure to add them to this review.

The pump dispenses smoothly, and I appreciate that it doesn't release too much product at once. It's fragrance-free, applies gently, and absorbs well into the skin.
ConsI think it works better when used with other products. As someone with dry skin, I felt it didn't provide enough hydration on its own. The silver lid easily shows fingerprints, making it look messy quickly. While I'm not an expert on ingredients, I can't say much beyond it being gentle. I'm grateful for winning it in an event, but as a regular consumer, I'm not sure I would have purchased it. There's no noticeable improvement in wrinkles or brightening, which makes me question its value.

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'.
ConsAt 100ml, the volume is smaller compared to other emulsions, yet the price is quite high. I'd hesitate to purchase it without a discount.
TipIf you don't have any specific areas that need extra care, using this product on its own should work well.

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.
ConsWrinkle 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.

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.
ConsIt 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.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.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.
ConsThe 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.
