I even stockpiled it when living abroad! The main advantages are: - Large quantity - Truly gentle on the skin - Stays true to the basics As someone with super sensitive skin who can't use just any emulsion, this trusty companion has always been there for me, preventing blemishes without fail. It's given me the confidence to occasionally try other products. Even if my face reacts badly to something else, using this for a few days brings everything back to normal. If nothing changes, I think this will be a staple in my routine for years to come! I took off one star because it doesn't have any extraordinary benefits like exceptional hydration...
ConsAfter opening and using it for a while, the scent changes slightly. While it doesn't seem to affect the product's performance, the altered fragrance is a bit off-putting.
TipHighly recommended as a basic skincare item for those with sensitive skin! Apply by pumping two to three times and spreading it over your face.

Amount The generous quantity makes it great for liberal use. 2. Price The affordable price means it offers decent value for money. 3. Ingredients It contains a high concentration of calendula extract, known for its acne-soothing properties, which is a plus. The ingredient list also shows percentages for key components, inspiring confidence in its use. That's about it.
Cons1. Scent The fragrance is truly off-putting at first sniff (in my opinion). It's a dried floral scent with a hint of something... well, rotten. However, you do get used to it, and it's not so bad after a while. 2. Oil content After application, it leaves a somewhat oily feel, making it less than ideal for summer use. It's not bad as a winter moisturizer though. 3. Absorption The absorption rate is quite poor (apparently due to the natural ingredients used). When applied to the face, it takes a while to sink in.
TipFor early summer like now, it might be best to apply a thin layer on dry areas and allow plenty of time for absorption.

Blemishes disappear I used to consistently apply Sidmool Ato Emulsion. While using that, I occasionally got breakouts, but after switching to Calendula, they completely vanished. 2. More product than expected It didn't look like much at first, but even with my family using it together, it's lasting quite a while! 3. Great hydration As someone with oily skin, I was worried it might be too moisturizing and greasy. However, it deeply hydrates without making my skin excessively oily, which I love.
ConsThis is purely my personal opinion, but I wasn't a fan of the scent, which was disappointing.
TipUnfortunately, I haven't discovered any special tips or tricks yet.

I've tried all the moisturizing products that are supposed to be good, but even though they moisturize well, they clog my pores, and my already easily reddened skin gets even redder and feels stuffy and oily. After much deliberation, I bought this product, and while there's no dramatic visible change, I can see that my skin is calming down.
ConsThe scent... it's an unavoidable part, but sometimes it has a familiar feeling. When I was young and went to the bathhouse with my mom, there was a herbal, traditional medicine-like scent from the sauna that I can detect in this product...
TipI mix this with the Sidmool panthenol ampoule - it helps with the dryness without making my skin too oily. It's great.

I've tried many different basic skincare products, and have had my fair share of disappointments and the resulting stress. However, after using this moisturizer, I haven't had any new breakouts, and my existing blemishes have significantly calmed down. This is truly a gentle and effective product. 😍 It's no secret that I'm on my sixth bottle already.
ConsThe spreadability and absorption are a bit slow. You'll need to keep massaging it in for it to fully absorb. Be sure to pat it in firmly.
TipFor dry areas, you may want to give it an extra round of absorption. And if you ever feel the product has gone bad, be sure to discard it right away.

It's gentle and the scent is not too strong, which I like. There's also no oiliness.
ConsThere really wasn't any disappointing aspect!!! It's good for oily skin.

Even though they say to provide abundant moisture, there's still something lacking! The dermatologist keeps telling me to moisturize well, but what more can I do? That's when I saw the Hwahae Trial Reviewer (thank you, Deoung-nim ㅠ) and bought it with some hesitation. I was worried it might cause more pimples or milia, but the next day my skin became honey-like... The milia were reduced by half, and the reddish skin from the dermatitis had returned to its original tone....!!!!! Of course, this didn't cure the dermatitis itself, but it did care for the dried-out areas caused by the dermatitis... And the suncare product has mineral UV filters, so over time it can become drying, but if I apply this product on top before going out, the tightness is relieved... I've also been layering it at home in between... ♥ The price-to-volume ratio is great (almost the size of a toner), so it's nice to use generously. I've also been applying it to the inner part of my elbows where I have dermatitis, and it's been helpful ^^
ConsOf course, since I have an oily skin type, I don't apply too much. It's a bit burdensome to apply too much. I wish it had a bit more moisture. And it seems like I won't be able to use it in the summer... Dry-skinned people might be able to use it as a substitute for a moisture cream in the summer!

Even just using it consistently for a week, the acne scars have faded significantly and the red acne has calmed down!
ConsWhile it claims to be a moisturizing product, there is a dryness to it in the middle of winter. It has a fleeting feeling.
TipI recommend applying it thickly. In my case, I pumped an amount the size of a 100-won coin and spread it out!! It feels more moisturizing and the acne seems to subside faster.

My recurrent cystic acne has significantly subsided. I'm not sure if it's because the old lotion wasn't good for me or if the current one is better, but it seems to work well for my combination skin (oily and dry). Overall, the cystic acne has greatly diminished. 2. When I lie down to sleep after applying the skin toner and lotion, I no longer feel that slight tightness and itchiness (as if a small bug or hair was touching my face). 3. It absorbs quickly. I'm not sure about extremely dry skin types, but for me, it absorbs fast without leaving any tightness or discomfort.
Cons1. Pump packaging. Just pressing the pump causes the product to drip down... You have to tilt it to pump properly.... 2. Thin consistency. Oily skin types may only need one application, but dry skin types may need to apply it twice... As a combination skin type, I do one quick application on my forehead and nose, and two applications on my cheeks. 3. Fragrance. Since it's a calendula-based moisturizer, it has a calendula scent. I didn't mind it, but some people around me didn't like the smell. Fragrance-sensitive individuals may want to be cautious.
TipWell, as everyone knows, applying a few extra layers on dry areas... And when it comes to clearing cystic acne, simplifying your skincare routine to just a toner and lotion can be sufficient... Those would be the key tips, but of course, it depends on your individual skin type.

It has a pump-type container, which is convenient. Contains millet, and only about one per week would come out without leaving any inflammatory residue. It's perfect to apply alone in the late summer to early fall. It's gentle and non-irritating. It absorbs very quickly and leaves a clean finish.
ConsHas a herbal medicine-like and earthy scent. It was fine for me, but still not very fragrant. It lacks oil content so much that around mid-October, you'll need to mix in about two drops of oil to apply. +) When the temperature drops below zero, even mixing in four drops of oil is not enough. You'll need to apply a thick cream on top.
TipWith few ingredients and a gentle, watery texture, it seems suitable for people with atopic dermatitis and acne. It definitely has an effective calming effect on blemishes.
