It replenishes moisture with a soft, supple feel. Recently struggling with blemishes? This cream hydrates gently without irritation. With a delicate floral scent, it leaves a pleasant fragrance each time you apply. If you're seeking an intensely moisturized, healthy complexion, this cream is a must-try.
ConsWhile not noticeable during 2 weeks of use, those highly sensitive to even faint fragrances may find the subtle scent to be stronger.
TipOn especially dry days, layering this cream like a moisture pack can provide excellent hydration.

It has provided instant soothing effects and sufficient hydration, resulting in reduced pore size. For the first time, I woke up to a supple complexion after applying it at night. In the morning, I don't experience any clogged pore-related breakouts after using it in the evening. The subtle herbal scent is also quite pleasant. I highly recommend this product!!!
ConsThere's really nothing bad to say. The soothing effect and hydration are undoubtedly effective, and I'm very satisfied using it.
TipWhenever my skin feels inflamed or like a breakout is coming, I give it a quick cooling toner application followed by a gentle massage with this cream. The next day, my skin is completely refreshed and clear!

The subtle acacia fragrance..
ConsSince it can be greasy, I hope you use it as a base when you don't wear makeup.

Haha There have been some reviews mentioning the strong coconut scent, but as someone with a well-known big nose, I cautiously suspect that the predominant fragrance is actually from the main ingredient, echinacea (extract of purple coneflower), rather than coconut. It has a similar aroma to cinnamon-flavored traditional Korean punch (sujeonggwa).
ConsI bought the product because they said you just have to pay the shipping fee to get the full-size item. But when I saw that the responsible seller is Lion Korea Co., Ltd., I got a shock... That's the LION that makes the 'Ai Kkaeutdae' hand foaming wash! The company is included in the Japan boycott. They seem to have branded it in a way that hides the actual brand name, like 'Namyang'. By the way, they say the ingredients don't contain any Japanese-sourced materials, so you can use it without worry. It would have been better if the packaging was glass instead of plastic. Using plastic containers means you're applying microplastics to your skin.

The fragrance is truly one-of-a-kind and so luxurious. I really, really, really love it. I'm satisfied with all the products, from the cleansing items to the gel cream. I received both the gel cream and the regular cream, and while the gel cream isn't as lightweight as I expected, it's still very moisturizing. The regular cream is incredibly hydrating...Definitely a 5-star product.
ConsNone It's too good... I want to gift it to my mom, but the price is a bit steep. But it's still amazing, the best.
TipUsing the entire line would probably be even better. The glow it gives my face is unreal.

The moisturizing power is no joke. Regular creams feel greasy and don't quite quench the inner dryness, but this has a slightly bouncy texture, not like a lotion or cream. When you apply it, it just glides on and completely vanquishes both surface and deep-seated dryness. Advantage two! The scent is surprisingly nice. Haha, I didn't expect much since it's supposed to be soothing, but it's almost like stepping into a forest...? Advantage three! The volume is monstrous. I used about the same amount as my usual lotion, and there was still enough left over to apply to my neck and hands. Y'all, a little goes a long way - just a small dab will do. For reference, I have a fairly large face.
ConsHmm, they said it was a soothing product, but it seems more focused on hydration than actual soothing. Maybe the ampoule version is better specialized for soothing? Creams tend to prioritize hydration over soothing. But it's not like it doesn't soothe at all! You just shouldn't expect super dramatic soothing effects. If you're buying this product solely for the soothing benefits, you might want to think it over a bit.
TipJust a tiny bit spreads so far, I'm not even kidding! This cream will last you three months, easy.

When first applied, the fragrance is quite strong, so there may be some like/dislike. But I like this kind of scent!! Once applied and absorbed, the fragrance becomes much fainter and not bothersome. 👍🏻Texture At first, when I got the cream, I thought it would be very heavy and sticky, but it's actually a gel-cream type that's not too heavy or too light. With just a small amount, it spreads smoothly over a wide area. When I first tested it on the back of my hand, I felt like I was applying a very luxurious cream. 👍🏻Moisturizing Power Even though it's a gel-cream type and doesn't feel heavy, I felt the moisturizing power was really good. Even with my dry skin, heavy products can cause breakouts, but this one feels light and moisturizing, so it worked great as both a day cream and a night cream. 👍🏻Absorption The absorption is really good. It applies with a dewy, water-like finish, and then gets absorbed quickly. After absorption, there's no oiliness, just a thin, buttery layer.
Cons👎🏻The price is a bit disappointing. I feel like I'll use it up quickly, and it's a bit expensive. 👎🏻I thought the packaging was glass, but it's actually plastic, which was unexpected.
TipIt's lighter than I expected, so I found it works best if I apply it after a skin essence and before a richer cream. That way, the absorption is best and it feels more moisturizing. When I applied it after a very moisturizing product, it felt a bit less hydrating.

I personally prefer fragrance-free cosmetics, but this one has a subtle, soft vanilla or coconut-like scent that I really like. My skin is sensitive and dry, so using it alone was a bit drying, but after applying a good amount of toner and essence, it kept my skin moisturized until the next day. The design also looks quite luxurious, and I'm completely satisfied. I usually just stick to the same products, so being able to try different things through Hwahae Trial Reviewer is a great opportunity for me.
ConsThere was absolutely nothing disappointing about this product!!!!

It has a smooth application. It has more oiliness than a typical gel-cream. The cream itself has a bit of weight due to the moisture, and after application, there is a slightly heavy oily finish. The scent is coconut with a floral note. Those who dislike coconut may have mixed feelings, but the scent is not strong and has a subtle fragrance, so it should not be irritating. The finish is lightly powdery on the surface but moist inside. There is a slightly occlusive oily finish. Moisture ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It has the full moisture of a gel-cream. It seems to effectively address inner dryness. After application, the skin feels plump and hydrated. It has good moisturizing power, so it can be a good gel-cream to use in the winter. Absorption ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It doesn't immediately absorb, but has a moderate level of absorption. If applied thickly like me, it takes some time to absorb. Moisturizing Power ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a gel-cream, it has excellent moisturizing power. Typically, gel-type formulas have good moisture but lack lasting power, but this product has enough moisturizing power to be used as a final skincare step. It's about the level of a thin lotion. The moisturizing film is still felt even when cleansing the face the next day. Soothing ⭐⭐⭐~⭐⭐⭐⭐? Since I'm someone who easily gets breakouts when dry, the improved hydration helps calm down any irritation... So I'm not sure if the calming effect is from the moisturizing power or the product's own soothing properties. However, I was able to confirm that when applied to irritated areas, the redness subsides to some degree. Low Irritation ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've never felt any stinging or irritation when using this, even when my skin condition was poor. Even with some gentle products I've used before, I sometimes felt irritation around my nose area, but this was much gentler in comparison. Of course, individual tolerance to ingredients can vary greatly, so please take the low-irritation claim with a grain of salt.
ConsFor pairing with other products: Since I have very dry skin, I layered a lotion on top of this gel-cream to complete my skincare routine. However, as this product has a slightly occlusive finish, layering a thin, very watery lotion on top doesn't absorb as well. It feels like it's sitting on the surface and not fully sinking in, even though it does get absorbed with some patting. But using a richer cream, oil, or balm-type product on top of this gel-cream doesn't work well either. The recommended method is to thoroughly hydrate the skin with as many watery, hydrating products as possible before using this gel-cream. Then, top it off with a thicker cream, oil, or balm-type product. Alternatively, you can use this gel-cream alone to complete your skincare routine, especially in certain seasons. For normal to combination skin types, using this as the final step may be sufficient without feeling too tight or dry. Price Hmm... sigh... The product quality is definitely good and worth the money. But as a gel-cream, it's quite pricey. I had been eyeing this product for a while and was hoping to catch it on sale, but even the discounted price isn't that affordable, in my opinion. Of course, it's not as exorbitantly expensive as high-end luxury brand products, but I still think it may be a bit burdensome for student users on a tighter budget.
TipYou're absolutely right that carefully considering the compatibility with other skincare products is important, as mentioned in the cons. I would recommend this as a suitable, moderately weighted moisturizing cream that won't make the skin feel tight, even in the winter! In the summer, I think this product would work well to complete the skincare routine. I believe this can be widely recommended, from dry to combination skin types.

The application was smooth and absorbed quickly, so I thought it might be drying, but after applying it, I felt a pleasant residual moisture. The fragrance is a bit sweet, like coconut or concord grape. I'm not usually very sensitive to fragrances, so it was fine for me. I usually have a lot of trouble when changing skincare products, but I just used this based on the ingredients and didn't experience any irritation or the usual problems that come with switching products. The packaging is also pretty and clean, so I really like it.
ConsThe only downside is that these days, many fragrance-free products have been released, so those sensitive to fragrances may not like it. It seems more suitable for seasons other than winter. Considering the price range that comes up in searches, it might be a bit of a concern.
TipFor my extremely dry skin, I mix in a little bit of rosehip oil when applying it.
