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.

The next morning, I woke up to find that my skin texture had become smoother rather than seeing any whitening effects!!!! I definitely felt that the formula contained a high amount of vitamins, and the texture was kind of balm-like, not exactly thick but with a creamy, melty feel that clung to my skin 😆😆 There was no slippery or heavy sensation, and it just seemed to adhere perfectly. Although it didn't whiten, my complexion looked brighter, probably because my skin condition had improved. And I really liked the packaging too - it's a tube with a small opening, so it's easy to dispense the right amount. Oh, and the texture reminds me of an eye cream. It has a slightly tacky feel, but not in an unpleasant, greasy way - more like, 'Ah, this is nourishing my skin right now.' You know what I mean?? The next day, my blemishes looked smoother. I liked it more than I expected, so if there's a sale, I'll definitely keep purchasing it 😂
ConsThere's nothing really bad, but if I had to pick one, it would be the whitening effect. However, if I add more whitening benefits, it might overshadow the existing advantages, so it's better to use a separate whitening product! Oh, and I also noticed that my flushing became more intense after using this product 😢
TipI applied the appropriate amount as the last step in my routine, after toner, essence, and masks, and only used it in the evenings.

The tube material is sturdy, and the tube end has good air flow, so it's easy to squeeze out and apply. The texture is incredibly smooth, so a small amount spreads out nicely. The long, precise opening is great, and it doesn't have the typical downside of spot packaging. I really love it. (I wish all creams were like this!) Thanks to the great texture, it doesn't feel like there's a small amount.
ConsI've been using the same skin lotion for a while, and whenever I apply it as the last step, it just seems to get pushed away when I touch my face. It's so stressful! But I can't just use this cream alone, as my face feels too tight... The cream feels incredibly moisturizing and dewy when I apply it, but once it's absorbed, the tight feeling is just too strong. I don't think this product suits me at all. My complexion does seem a bit brighter, but the change isn't significant enough for me to keep using it. I hope those who find it suitable can make a good purchase, but my review is just for reference.
TipTo avoid pilling, it's better to apply this at night instead of before makeup.

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.

If it's effective for my acne scars, I'm interested in continuing to purchase and use this product. ᐅ The fragrance is nice The refreshing scent is not artificial and doesn't cause any aversion. It's not overpowering, just a pleasant and luxurious fragrance that's great to use. ᐅ The application is smooth It has a rich and bouncy texture, similar to the AHC eye cream. The texture is really nice to apply. ᐅ Provides rich and moisturizing oil My face needed a lot of moisture in the winter, and this cream, with its oily yet nourishing formula, was very effective in hydrating my skin. I could use this cream alone without needing additional moisturizer. ᐅ Helps reduce dark circles As someone whose job often leaves me exhausted, I have persistent and prominent dark circles under my eyes. While I was hesitant to apply it on my cheeks (due to past acne experiences), applying a small amount under my eyes did have a noticeable brightening effect, albeit a subtle one.
Consᐅ Not recommended for active breakouts On the first day I used this, I ended up getting over 5 new blemishes the next couple of days. I'm not sure if it was part of the skin's adjustment process... However, the breakouts did subside after about a week of use. ᐅ Blemish removal effect is not that significant I didn't experience any dramatic blemish-clearing effects after 3 days of use. ᐅ The price is a bit high for a drugstore product...
TipThe product has a nice brightening effect on the dark circles under my eyes. I apply a small amount under my eyes regularly.

I didn't notice it much while using it, but when I compared the first day's photo to the 2-week photo, the whitening effect is noticeable. This is the most effective whitening functional cosmetic product I've used so far. *Texture: It has a moderate viscosity, a typical moisturizing cream texture, but it's very hydrating and applies smoothly, absorbing quickly. There's no dryness after absorption. When blending, a slightly opaque white color comes up but disappears as it absorbs. *Hydration: The lightweight, refreshing texture has abundant hydration. *Pore tightening: After removing blackheads and applying it thickly, the pores that were visible the previous day had shrunk. *Fragrance: It has a fresh citrus scent that's not artificial, just a subtle pleasant aroma that I enjoy every time I apply it. *The tube packaging is hygienic.
ConsI mixed it with the cream I normally use, and while the area above my lips isn't irritated, it keeps feeling dry and cracked...
TipVita Cream Review (2/6~) Day 1: Mixed it with my usual cream and applied. Slight irritation. Day 2: Increased the amount mixed in (1:1). Slightly stinging and itchy. Day 2: Thickly applied it only on my nose after blackhead removal. Pore tightening, soothing effect. Absorbs very quickly. Day 3: Same method as Day 2. Lip area feels stinging. Day 4: Mixed it with cream (1:1) and applied all over my face, applied an extra layer on the T-zone and hairline discolored areas. No irritation after adapting. ~Continued the same method as Day 4. Day 12: While continuously using it, the area above my lips isn't irritated but it keeps feeling dry, so I stopped applying it all over and only use it on the T-zone and hairline discolored areas. ~~ (~2/20)

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.Pros🤎 Skin Type - Extremely sensitive, delicate, and easily irritated skin - Frequently experience small bumps around the chin area - Tend to have frequent reddish and itchy breakouts 🤎 Hwahae Trial Reviewer Usage Period & Areas - February 6, 2020 (Sat.) - February 15, 2020 (Mon.) (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!
