The smooth, creamy texture applies easily and absorbs well over time, leaving skin hydrated. After application, my skin felt soft and velvety without any greasiness, which I loved. 🍓 Redness: I enjoyed the cooling effect after application! While I'm not sure if it's improved my redness yet, I'm hopeful that consistent use will show results. 🍓 Ingredients + Fragrance: I was pleased to find no harmful ingredients, and my skin tolerated it well. As someone who dislikes strong artificial scents, I appreciated that this product is fragrance-free. 🍓 Oil and moisture balance: Initially, it felt a bit slippery, but it absorbed well over time. Post-absorption, while the surface doesn't feel extremely moist, there's a nice sense of deep hydration. I was particularly satisfied that it wasn't greasy or sticky. However, I noticed that if I apply too much, it might lead to excess oil production for my skin type.
Cons🖤 Controlling the amount was challenging... Due to the container design, I initially applied too much, which made my skin look oily. This was the most disappointing aspect. 🖤 My skin type changes between winter and summer. This cream feels a bit heavy with my current skincare routine, so I might need to save it for cooler weather.
TipRather than scooping out a large amount at once, I found it better to apply small amounts gradually, adding more as needed for better control of the quantity.

It has a rich, creamy texture! When applied to the face, it feels thoroughly moisturizing, which I loved. My skin has been very dry lately, and I was concerned, but as expected, applying this cream really improved the dryness significantly! 2. The ingredients are gentle! The primary reason I frequently use the Hwahae app is to check cosmetic ingredients! When choosing skincare products, my top priority is always the 'ingredients'. For most basic skincare items, I select products that don't contain any cautionary or potentially allergenic ingredients! This time, I particularly liked the ingredients in L'Essentiel's Rhodiola Cream, which I received from Hwahae to try. When the ingredients are good, it gives a gentle feeling that I really appreciate. 3. The packaging was so pretty! As you can see in the photo I've attached, it came with a note containing beautiful words! You know how those little touches can really brighten your day?
ConsThere weren't really any downsides! I used the product comfortably without any issues in terms of how it felt on my skin. The only slight disappointment for me is that the 'price' is a bit steep. It's quite expensive for me to purchase and use regularly.
TipI don't really like using multiple skincare products. I prefer layering just one or two products for absorption, so before bed, I applied eye cream and then a generous layer of this Rhodiola Cream all over my face, and it was sufficiently moisturizing! Since it's not winter, I think this cream alone is enough for skincare these days! That's how helpful the Rhodiola Cream has been!

It's fragrance-free and has a rich texture when applying (but it's not sticky). My skin feels smooth even when I wake up in the morning as it stays on the skin overnight. My lips are extremely dry, and I used to get chapped lips even in midsummer, but believe it or not, I haven't had any chapped lips since using this cream. For the first few days, I noticed some small bumps after application, but I'm not sure if it was due to this cream. Initially, I felt a slight warming sensation on my face, but now I don't feel anything unusual. I have fair skin, so I can't really tell about the brightening effects, but I think it has a slight calming effect on the skin. The photos show the first day and after two weeks of use.
ConsI personally don't prefer fragrance-free and rich textures, so I'm mentioning this in both the pros and cons.
TipSince I have normal skin, I think those with a similar skin type might feel refreshed in the morning if they don't apply too much of this cream.

The cream is incredibly rich, so it's best suited for fall-winter use. It would be perfect for those with extremely dry skin. The 80ml size is just right - not too much, not too little. You should be able to use it up before it expires.
ConsThe absorption could be better. I have dry skin, so I applied a generous amount of cream, but it seemed to sit on top of my skin rather than sinking in.

Ingredients When I first got the text saying I won this, I looked up the product and was amazed by how great the ingredients are. Since I have sensitive combination dehydrated skin that can easily react badly, I pay close attention to ingredients. With this product, I feel I can use it without worry. 2. Scent It's fragrance-free, which I personally prefer. 3. Application/Absorption I'm not a fan of slippery or sticky textures, but this one is slightly thick while spreading smoothly. There's a bit of stickiness after application, but it absorbs well so it's not too bad. I guess this texture is unavoidable for this type of cream, but thankfully it's not excessive. 4. Oil Content As mentioned, there's a slight stickiness after application, and I could feel some oiliness, especially in the T-zone and nose area. For those with combination dehydrated skin, I recommend controlling the amount you use. I adjust the quantity too, because when I first applied it generously without knowing better, I broke out the next day. Since it's a product with some oil content, it's best to use an appropriate amount. 5. Quantity/Price In my opinion, the quantity seems generous. I've been using it for a week, taking small amounts from the lid, and it looks like it will last a long time. Considering the price, I think it offers good value for money.
ConsThe downsides I've noticed are the slight oiliness and the fact that it's a product you need to scoop out - it would have been better if it came with a spatula. Also, I don't think I'll be able to use it much in summer. It seems more suitable for dry skin types rather than oily or combination dehydrated skin.
TipFor those with combination dehydrated skin, if you apply too much, it can feel quite oily and might cause blemishes or small pimples the next day. I'd recommend buying a spatula from Daiso or Olive Young to use an appropriate amount.

Trusting it's a good ingredient without any polarizing opinions, I've committed my face to it for a week. While I don't usually have blemish-prone skin, I used this cream when my face was in a hive-like state after wearing the wrong mask. The texture is thick and rich. After about 5 minutes of massaging, its benefits become apparent. It's a substantial hydrating cream. As you apply and massage, it allows your natural oils to surface later. I have combination dehydrated skin, and my forehead and T-zone become so moisturized that I could blot with a tissue. Despite the small jar, I thought there wouldn't be much product, but because of its firm consistency, I've used it for nearly a week and there's still enough left to stick to the lid.
ConsIf you just apply it without massaging, it takes a while to absorb. You need to massage it in several times to feel the hydrating effects, which isn't convenient on busy mornings. This might be more noticeable in summer. It would probably be great for winter or when your skin is particularly dry.
TipAt night, if you take some time to massage it in for about 5 minutes using a gua sha tool, you'll wake up with honey-like skin. That's why I've been using this instead of sheet masks lately. Even with prolonged massaging, my skin doesn't feel fatigued! Recently, my mouth area has been particularly dry and cracking, possibly due to mask-wearing, but when I apply an extra layer of this cream, the moisture lasts longer than with other creams.

Even after some time, my face didn't feel suffocated or uncomfortable. It applies smoothly and absorbs well without any stickiness. The cream is almost fragrance-free, so there's no off-putting scent to worry about.
ConsTo truly test this product, I used only the Rhodiola Triple Cream morning and night, without any other skincare items. I noticed my skin felt a bit dry, and some dead skin cells appeared, which made me wish it had more hydration. However, when used in combination with other products, there was no pilling at all, and it's great for those who prefer a light application. This could be perfect for those who dislike heavy creams!

Cons- The oil content might be a bit much for extremely oily skin (oil overload when waking up) - Slightly unhygienic as you need to scoop it out with your fingers - The price might be a bit steep for students
TipOverall, a decent product :) Might work well for those with dry skin? Recommend getting a spatula separately!

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[My skin type: Combination dehydrated + super sensitive + struggling with acne for 4 years] ⭐ Five-star rating 1) Absorption ⭐×4.8 I thought the thick cream texture wouldn't spread well, but it actually glided on smoothly and evenly. Very good! 2) Scent ⭐×3.8 It's fragrance-free, which I prefer over scents that don't agree with me or cause blemishes due to added fragrances. I appreciated that the lack of scent wasn't off-putting at all. 3) Hydration ⭐×4 Given my combination dehydrated skin and the product's high oil content, it felt a bit heavy for my face. However, it worked wonders on my very dry arms and legs. So I use it as a body moisturizer. I also apply it as a hand cream. 4) Blemishes ⭐×3 Despite its oiliness, I didn't experience any new breakouts even after using it daily for 4 days, which I initially feared. However, it didn't seem to have any particular soothing effect or impact on existing blemishes.
Cons1) Hygiene ⭐×1 When I first opened the product, there was no spatula included. This could be unhygienic for those who don't have one at home. 2) Oiliness ⭐×0.5 As mentioned earlier, the product is quite rich, which felt especially oily on my already oily skin. It seemed okay at first, but after a few seconds, the oil started to build up, leaving my skin looking very shiny. One time I went out after applying this cream, and my skin was much oilier than usual... So I only used it at night. 3) Price As a student, the price is extremely, extremely, extremely burdensome. OMG...
TipI think this would suit dry skin types who really need hydration more than those with oily skin! My grandmother and mother tried it once and said they liked it. For those with oily skin who want to use it, I'd recommend applying tiny dots around the face. The good absorption means a little goes a long way, which helps control oil and works better.

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❗ I want to disclose that this product was provided by Hwahae for review purposes ❗ ❗ This review reflects my personal opinion ❗ Before diving into the review, let me share that I have oily skin with acne scars and occasional breakouts! 1. Application ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As someone with oily skin, I found the texture of this product a bit heavy and rich. When I applied a small amount to my face, I felt it was more suitable for dry/combination skin types due to its oilier feel rather than a watery consistency. 2. Absorption ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ While it doesn't absorb immediately after application, gently patting it in helps it adhere to the skin nicely, leaving a slight oily sensation. 3. Hydration ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Using this product alone on my oily skin, without any other skincare products, I didn't experience any dryness. In fact, after sleeping with this product on, I woke up feeling my skin was more supple and firm! 4. Overall Impression I'd recommend this product more for those with dry/combination skin rather than oily skin types! I had a positive experience in all aspects, and my mother with dry skin felt her skin became more firm after using it. Even I, with oily skin, noticed the same effect! It showed great results for improving elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
ConsThere weren't any significant downsides! If I had to mention one, I'd say it didn't seem particularly well-suited for acne-prone or oily skin types.
TipFor those with oily skin, I recommend applying this product after using a water-based toner or an exfoliating toner, or using it on its own! Due to its rich texture, it's better suited for nighttime use rather than in the morning.
