Cons👉 It had a slightly oily feel, so I only used it in the evenings. When I used it in the mornings for makeup, my makeup would slide a bit 👉 The fragrance might be divisive
TipI really liked using it as a nighttime pack!!!

It helps with dryness!! I pumped it about twice and applied it all over my face! Packaging: It seems to be an environmentally-conscious company. They used paper tape and paper(?) instead of bubble wrap for packaging!! Spreadability: 💛💛💛💛 The texture spreads smoothly and evenly, and it absorbs well without any stickiness. Redness: You can feel your skin brightening when you apply it. It also helps reduce redness! Honestly, I won't lie, I didn't have high expectations since I won this as a prize, but I was able to try a pretty decent product. The scent is close to unscented, but it has a buttery(?) kind of fragrance!! The photos are taken at the same spot without any brightness adjustment! I applied it all over the back of my hand.
ConsThere wasn't really anything disappointing. I didn't have any breakouts either!!
TipI have combination skin, and after applying it all over my face, I added an extra layer on my cheeks!!

However, after using the Menokeen Peptide Cotton Cream for 2 weeks, my dehydration has significantly improved! The cream has a refreshing texture and applies lightly without feeling heavy. It absorbs well into the skin. With the inclusion of cottonseed extract, my skin remains moisturized and supple even after prolonged exposure to heater air.
ConsPersonally, I did not have any disappointments. Even though I have sensitive skin, the gentle ingredients allow me to use it without worry.

As a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I was more thorough in my evaluation and even stopped using my previous cream to switch to this one. I was happy that I could reduce the number of skincare steps, as this cream alone was sufficient after toner and before the sleeping pack. For those with oily skin who thought shea butter didn't work for them, I recommend adjusting the amount you use. I used to get milia from shea butter, but with this product, a small amount was enough to provide hydration that lasted until the next day without causing any breakouts.
Cons1. Packaging The packaging concept of using cotton extract is great. The pump dispenser is more hygienic to use compared to a jar. I also want to commend the use of biodegradable plastic packaging. However, it's difficult to check the amount used. If there was a small gap or indicator to see how much product has been used, that would have been helpful. Even under bright lighting, I couldn't tell how much I had used. 2. Adjusting Usage Amount As an oily-skinned user, I was surprised that the lightweight formula required multiple pumps to cover my face. This resulted in a greasy, slow-absorbing feel. However, the hydrating and slightly occlusive sensation made me realize that oily skin types may need to adjust the amount of this cream, which contains moisturizing ingredients like shea butter. For dehydrated skin, I recommend supplementing with a watery toner or essence, and using only 1-2 pumps of this cream in a thin layer. This way, you can get the hydration benefits without needing multiple skincare steps. 3. Price I was so impressed with the product that I wanted to stock up during the year-end sale. However, learning that the original price is in the high 60,000 KRW range for a department store brand made me hesitant as a student. While the brochure also made me curious about trying the cleanser and essence, the price point is a concern, so I'm thinking I should stock up on this cream during the sale.
TipFor oily skin types, I recommend applying a hydrating serum generously and then using this cream in a thin layer. It provides long-lasting hydration even for oily, dehydrated skin.

Although it's been only 2 weeks since I started using it, I can't see dramatic wrinkle improvement yet, but the moisturizing power is the best!! I tend to have a tightening sensation, but it doesn't feel dry or tight. When I apply it in the evening, the moisture is maintained until the morning, which greatly increases my satisfaction with the product. The cream has a thin, essence-like texture and glides on smoothly. The packaging is lightweight and has a pump, which is hygienic and convenient. I think this cream is perfect for someone like me with dry skin. I'm also considering trying the Mokwhasu cleanser since it seems to work well for me.
ConsWhile the low-irritation product may suit most people, I wouldn't recommend it to those who prefer a richer, more nourishing cream with a slightly heavier feel.
TipI've read that using too many cosmetics can also irritate the skin, as the chemical components inevitably accumulate on the skin. In that sense, I was really pleased to learn that Menoquin pursues 'minimal skincare', reducing complex ingredients and steps, and only including what's essential for the skin. In the morning, I used it after toner and essence, and in the evening, I applied it right after toner and essence, and it felt just right - light and perfect.

It has no fragrance and the application is not heavy, but it feels moisturizing in the morning and seems to effectively address dryness.
ConsI think it might cause my makeup to break down if I apply it in the morning.
TipI would recommend applying it in the evening!

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.ProsThis product really seems to help with my severe dryness! I used to use pads with strong ingredients because of my acne, which always left me with dryness, and it was especially bad in the winter. But after using this, I haven't felt any dryness at all!
ConsWhile it is certainly a very moisturizing product, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for oily skin types. However, it's great for those with dry, combination, or dehydrated skin!
TipIn my case, I have combination skin due to acne, so my T-zone is quite oily while my U-zone is dry. When I first started using this product, I would apply it all over my face, but then the next day, my T-zone would get a bit shiny. So now I just apply it generously to my dry U-zone and use my regular cream on my T-zone, which helps balance out the oil and moisture. I'd recommend that those with combination skin focus on applying this to the drier areas only.

It's lightweight, easy to control the amount, applies smoothly, and doesn't irritate the skin, which I liked. It seems to be unscented and performs averagely. I didn't experience any breakouts or skin troubles.
ConsPersonally, I found the absorption to be slow, and there was more of a shiny appearance on my nose and forehead, so I likely won't use it when going out in the summer. There's a heavy, weighed-down feeling on my face, so it feels a bit stuffy.
TipIf you apply a lighter-textured moisturizer or essence before this, the application will be much smoother, and you can use it in a lighter way.

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.ProsFor the past 2 weeks, I have only been using toner and makeup remover, and not any other products. In the morning, I use 2 pumps of toner + Peptide Cotton Cream. In the evening, after using a toner pack, I use 5 pumps of Peptide Cotton. I used to use a moisturizing cream with birch sap before. Since I work long hours in an office with a ceiling heater, my skin becomes very dry after arriving at work. But the Peptide Cotton helps reduce that dryness. With less dryness, there is also less oiliness. Before bed, I apply 5 pumps of the cream on my face and neck, and then lie down like a corpse to sleep. When I wake up, there is no leftover cream on my face, and no dryness. Fragrance: Almost none (I think the fragrance was from the cream's container). Texture: Applies well.
ConsThe lack of fragrance is good, but the public container smell is too strong...
TipSometimes when it doesn't absorb well or I need it to absorb faster, I mix it with the toner and apply it.

But this cream really helps with the dryness. It's not oily at all, and I don't feel lacking in moisture either. No breakouts either - it's just great!
ConsThe pumping sometimes doesn't work very well at first or in the middle. The amount it dispenses per pump is a bit small... I have to pump it 4-5 times to get enough for my whole neck.
TipI don't really have any special tips. Except maybe applying an extra layer on really dry areas? But honestly, after using it for 4 days, even just a small amount was enough to keep me feeling moisturized and not dry at all. I ended up buying another one because I loved it so much! I'm really grateful to Menoquin for this chance discovery and for helping me with my dryness.
