ConsI have super sensitive skin, but about ten years ago, my skin had a major flare-up. Since then, I've been carefully checking ingredients and taking good care of my skin. For the past few years, I haven't needed much care and my skin has been great, allowing me to use various products without issues. I thought I might not have sensitive skin anymore, but... After using this for just two days, my skin completely broke out! I tried to eliminate blemishes, but ended up with even more. I only applied it to my T-zone and forehead. On the first day, there was some itching, which I tried to ignore. By the second day, I felt burning and itching, and when I woke up, my face was covered in rash-like bumps. Absolutely not recommended for those with super sensitive skin
TipSuper sensitive skin. Absolutely not recommended

I got a great deal with a buy-one-get-one-free offer at Olive Young.
ConsMy skin had a terrible reaction. It was stinging and itchy. I unconsciously scratched my face while sleeping, and it was so bad that it oozed, forcing me to visit the doctor. The ingredients don't seem to agree with my skin at all.

ConsAfter using this product, I experienced a persistent tingling sensation. By evening, the itching became unbearable. When I checked the Hwahae app, I discovered it contains three potential allergic reaction-causing ingredients...

It's not too thick or heavy, so it applies smoothly on the face without any difficulty. 👉 Fragrance - The fragrance is refreshing and citrusy, like lemon! Since it's a vitamin cream, the light, pleasant scent doesn't feel overpowering or artificial at all. 👉 Hydration - After application, the face doesn't feel tight or dry. However, it also doesn't get instantly absorbed. It leaves a slightly coated, moisturized feeling on the skin. The next morning, the face feels smoother than usual. 👉 Tone Improvement - While also using other brightening products in the routine, this cream has visibly improved the complexion and made the skin tone appear brighter. It's unclear if this is solely the effect of this product or the synergy with the other essence used. 👉 Packaging Convenience - The compact size and airtight jar design make it easy to target specific areas, like the T-zone, when applying the cream.
Cons👉 Irritation & Itchiness - From the first use until today (with a 2-3 day break in between), every time I applied the product, my face would sting... 😞 On the first and second days, I thought it was just because I was trying a new product, but since my skin is acne-prone, my cheeks would feel irritated and stingy every time I used it. It wasn't as severe as a burning sensation, but more of a prickling feeling, so I thought the product just didn't suit me throughout the usage period. 😞 After the stinging subsided, I would then experience itchiness, and my skin definitely didn't seem to be responding well - it even felt like more blemishes were appearing on my face. 👉 Firming & Spot-Improving Effects - After using it for 2 weeks, I didn't expect dramatic results, but it seems the product just doesn't work for me. I took before and after photos to compare, but to be honest, I'm not sure if there's any noticeable difference. My skin has a lot of acne scars and blemishes, and I didn't feel like the spots or uneven tone were improved or soothed. I had hoped to see some effects, so I even stopped using my new ampoule and minimized my routine, but it just didn't work for me. 😞 👉 Airtight Packaging - As a facial skincare product, I may be overly sensitive, but when I first opened the jar, the opening didn't seem to have a proper sealing treatment. Of course, the cap itself has a hole that gets sealed when closed, but without a silicone-like material to create a tight seal, it doesn't seem to be perfectly airtight. I personally think it would have been better if they had sealed the opening more thoroughly. 👉 Ingredients - I think the itchiness I experienced after applying the product may be related to an allergic reaction. Even though I don't usually have issues with color cosmetics, transitioning to this skincare product has triggered this kind of response. In that sense, I'm quite disappointed with the ingredients. (Cosmetics that have caused itchiness for me in the past: Benefit Blush Line/Dandelion)
Tip✔ I would recommend that those who think their skin is a bit sensitive definitely test this product before purchasing! ✔ For those with very oily skin, this cream may feel a bit greasy.

However, using the Vita products gave me a supple, glossy finish that I really liked! ㅎㅎ
ConsBut I'm not sure if I saw a huge effect compared to the price. As a woman in my 20s, functional skincare products don't seem to suit my skin very well, and I felt a bit itchy?
TipI recommend applying it before bedtime, and then generously applying sunscreen the next day!

(Total 10 days, with a 5-day break in between) - Used primarily on the T-zone and cheek areas 🤎 Price & Volume - 30ml, ₩32,000 🤎 Fragrance - Refreshing vitamin C lemon scent 🤎 Texture - Bouncy and opaque ivory-colored cream texture 🤎 Application - Applies smoothly and comfortably 🤎 Absorption & Finish - Good absorption - Doesn't immediately sink in, but after a short while, the skin appears smooth and silky, like using a pore primer 🤎 Moisturizing Power - (For oily skin) Leaves a slight oily feel when applied, but doesn't emphasize dryness or flakiness, suggesting adequate moisturizing properties. The finish feels refreshing.
Cons🤎 Skin Irritation & Breakouts - Day 1: About 10 minutes after application, slight redness and 2-3 small bumps (around 2mm) appeared on the applied areas. - Day 2: Breakouts with redness, small bumps, and itchiness developed across the T-zone. - Day 3: Small bumps and itchy breakouts persisted overall. - Day 4: Despite taking dermatological medication, the condition did not improve, so I had to discontinue use. ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ - 5-day break ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ - Day 10: Although I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and had high expectations, after a 5-day break, I tried using it again, only on the pigmented areas of my cheeks. However, the applied areas again became red and inflamed. - Current: The circular red areas have not gone away for a long time, and have now even led to pigmentation. 🤎 Improvement Effects 1) Freckles, blemishes, dark spots - May have improved with continued use, but couldn't verify due to the red breakouts 2) Skin elasticity - Felt moisturizing, so there was potential for improvement, but couldn't verify 🤎 User Review - The fragrance, application, and refreshing finish were great, and I would have wanted to continue using it if not for the breakouts. It's really disappointing. - During the event application, the ingredients seemed fine, but upon re-checking, there are allergen-triggering components (limonene, linalool) and irritants for sensitive skin (grapefruit peel oil, eucalyptus leaf oil, lavender oil, citric acid). If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have applied in the first place. Given my extremely sensitive skin, it just didn't work for me, and the pigmentation has worsened, causing me ongoing stress. I may need laser treatment later... ㅜㅜㅜㅜ - Others reported no breakouts, so it seems this product may work well for those without such extremely sensitive skin... Sigh
Tip🤎 Tip - For extremely sensitive skin, it's crucial to be very careful and only apply a small amount to a localized area for testing before full usage!
