Despite being an oil, it doesn't feel heavy at all - in fact, it's quite refreshing! I was worried about getting small bumps since I have oily skin, but not at all... It actually balanced my skin's oil and moisture, clearing up existing blemishes. The dropper applicator made it really convenient to apply! The amount is generous. It says to use 3-5 drops at a time, but since you use so little each time, it feels like there's more product than the actual ml suggests. The ingredients are spot on - just what you need, nothing more! I loved the eco-friendly packaging wrapped in paper. It's so thoughtful! I wish more brands would do this. The package design is simple and beautiful - right up my alley!
ConsTo be honest, there wasn't anything I disliked... If you control the amount well, I think both dry and oily skin types could use this effectively!
TipFor combination dehydrated skin, after cleansing, layer on your toner/skin to lock in moisture. The amount needed will vary, but I usually do it three times! Once it's all absorbed, if you still feel dry spots on your cheeks or chin, drop a bit of squalane barrier oil there. This seems to create the perfect balance. By the way, I have quite large hands for a woman, but the size is as shown in the attached photo. It definitely doesn't feel small at all!

However, this Squalane Barrier Oil completely changed my preconceptions about oils. I always thought all oils would be extremely heavy, sticky, and suffocating on the skin. But this one surprised me - when you drop it from the dropper, it's so lightweight it almost runs off. It absorbs without any stickiness, leaving a fresh finish. I was really impressed by that aspect!
ConsSince I have combination dehydrated skin that leans oily, there were times when I misjudged the amount or used too many skincare products, which resulted in blemishes the next day.
TipI think this works great as part of a nighttime routine. I found it effective to use about 3 drops as the final step of my evening skincare. On nights when I use the oil, I swap out my rich cream for a light, hydrating emulsion instead!

As someone with very oily skin, I never even considered oil-based products. On the first day, I noticed a few small bumps on my chin, but after that, it was quite good! I expected the oil to have a heavy texture, but it was surprisingly lightweight and felt refreshing to use. My skin is super sensitive and usually turns red and tingles with the slightest incompatibility, but I didn't experience any of that!
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing, but if you don't control the amount well and apply too much, it seems like small bumps might appear slightly.
TipWhen used before bed, my skin feels hydrated and not dry in the morning. Also, for someone like me who dislikes oiliness, applying a moisture-rich cream before using this oil worked really well!

As someone with dry and super sensitive skin, I've always struggled with oils. Heavier ones would cause blemishes, so I couldn't use them even when I wanted to. However, this oil from The Scent feels incredibly pleasant on my skin. It absorbs well with a fresh feeling, and despite being an oil, it's surprisingly lightweight. I was worried it might not suit me, but it's perfect! No blemishes, no heaviness, and no sticky feeling. After it absorbs, I even notice my complexion looks slightly brighter. It's ideal for the dry winter months. I'll definitely repurchase when I run out!
ConsHonestly, I can't think of any downsides. This is the clean, effective oil I've been searching for. It works really well for me.
TipFor application, I recommend putting a drop each on your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Then, rub your hands together to warm the oil slightly, and gently massage it into your skin. This method helps it absorb well and gives you that healthy glow.

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.ProsMy skin type is a nightmare combination of dehydrated, super sensitive skin, and seborrheic dermatitis. It's the worst possible skin condition, but: 1. This oil has a lightweight texture yet provides excellent hydration, allowing for a fresh application. 2. It's better suited as a night treatment rather than for daytime use. When I wake up in the morning, it eliminates any deep dryness. It's great for combating dehydrated skin. However, when a friend with oily skin tried it, they unfortunately broke out. 3. As someone with super sensitive skin, I can't use just any cosmetic product. I've never been able to use other oils before, so I was hesitant to try this one. But after using it, I experienced no blemishes or adverse reactions at all. It's amazing! I've never encountered an oil like this before. 4. It's particularly beneficial during winter or when extra moisture is needed. Mixing it with a cream works wonderfully! However, for summer use, it might be a bit much...
Cons1. It doesn't pair well with heavy creams. In the morning, my skin feels oily and greasy. 2. Even with lightweight creams, it causes pilling, so it's best not to use it before applying makeup. 3. There's no noticeable skin improvement (though this could be due to the extremely cold weather lately!)
TipFor a fresh oil application, it's better to use this with a lightweight cream rather than a heavy one!

The water-based formula spreads instantly when dispensed from the dropper. It absorbs quickly without any sticky feeling due to its liquid texture. The lightweight, refreshing finish makes it suitable for all skin types, including combination dehydrated skin. The eco-friendly packaging makes it an excellent choice for gifting.
ConsNot recommended if you prefer heavy or sticky oils! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I was worried about shine, but surprisingly, this oil feels rich without being greasy.
TipFor an extra boost of hydration, try mixing it with your moisturizer instead of using it alone. Applying it over toner or essence can help lock in the benefits of your previous skincare steps.

This is a must-read! I tried an oil product for the first time, and it suited me so well that I wondered why I hadn't used it before. The product itself comes with a dropper, making it very convenient to use, and it has a lightweight oil texture. As you can see, the ingredients are very gentle, so I could use it with peace of mind. It's also unscented, which I appreciated. I was particularly satisfied with how it doesn't feel sticky after application and leaves a fresh finish. My skin type is combination with deep dryness, and I tend to get slightly oily in the T-zone. I was especially stressed about closed comedones and occasional blemishes, but this product has helped a lot! I've tried all sorts of products to balance oil and moisture to alleviate closed comedones. When I used only water-based products thinking I had too much oil, my skin became dehydrated and even oilier. On the other hand, when I used rich products, they seemed to clog my pores and cause more blemishes. I never thought of trying an oil, but after using it through The Hwahae Testers, the results were beyond my imagination! After applying toner, serum, and hydrating gel cream, I used about 2.5 to 3 drops of this oil as the last step. Except for the oil, all my other skincare products were mostly water-based with little oil content. This product provided just the right amount of richness at the end. After about 5 days of use, I noticed a significant reduction in closed comedones on my forehead and cheeks, and my skin felt smoother. Especially in the evenings when my face used to feel tight, this product has really improved my deep dryness! I'll definitely repurchase this after I finish it!
ConsThere weren't really any downsides. If I had to choose one, maybe the price...?
TipThe most important point is that you need to adjust the amount of oil according to your skin condition. If you use too much, it might cause blemishes due to excess oil. For those with combination skin, I recommend using hydrating skincare products first, then balancing oil and moisture with this oil as I mentioned above!

It's refreshing. It doesn't have that stuffy feeling typical of oils. -> You don't have to worry about it staining your pillow when you apply it before bed! The texture is light, but it creates a strong moisture barrier. -> The hydration lasts longer compared to when I only use an emulsion. The quantity is generous. -> It's been a week, and there's still so much left! It doesn't irritate sensitive skin. -> Even when my skin feels sensitive, this oil doesn't cause any irritation! No stinging at all. Fragrance-free and colorant-free. -> No unnecessary fragrances or colorants in skincare... It's reassuring to use! Glass container. -> I like that it uses a stable glass container. It's safer against temperature changes and light, right?
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad... Just be careful not to spill it when the dropper is open.
TipIf your foundation looks flaky due to winter dryness, try mixing in a small amount! The product itself has a lightweight glow, so it's great for moisturizing and achieving that luminous skin look.

In winter, I need to use a moisturizer, but most are too rich in oils, making them sticky and not fresh-feeling, so I usually avoid them. However, mixing this oil with a light cream works wonderfully! The oil itself isn't sticky at all, but has a refreshing water-like texture that I'm really satisfied with!
ConsThe only downside is that it's only 30ml. I wish it came in a slightly larger 50ml size too!
TipIt's great to mix with a light cream when applying! They recommend using 5 drops for dry skin, 3 drops for normal skin, and 2 drops for oily skin.
