I'll provide an honest and detailed review of the Rhodiola Cream after using it for 10 days, sharing my genuine impressions. Skin Type: My skin type changes with the seasons - oily in summer, combination dehydrated in winter, leaning towards dry. Generally, I have combination skin with an oily T-zone. I have super sensitive skin that becomes red and itchy when using incompatible products. I often get small blemishes on my cheeks due to deep dryness, and when I can't address this dryness, excess oil leads to frequent inflammatory acne. Positive Points: Product Design: While I consider ingredients when buying cosmetics, I also pay attention to product design due to my work background. The Rhodiola Cream's appearance wasn't my favorite style at first glance. It comes in a basic cream jar, but its overall clean look likely won't polarize opinions. Scent & Texture: I was relieved that it's fragrance-free! The texture is smooth and silky, typical of a moisturizing cream. Application & Moisturizing Power: It applies lightly and smoothly without stickiness. It strikes a perfect balance between a hydrating and oil-based cream. Some oil-based creams can be too heavy for me, often causing blemishes. However, the Rhodiola Cream deeply moisturizes while remaining light on the surface - it's the ideal moisturizer for me! Product Effectiveness: Initially, I didn't have high expectations due to its appearance suggesting a heavy, oil-based cream. But I was pleasantly surprised! It immediately hydrates deeply while feeling light and smooth, without any stickiness. What impressed me most was its quick absorption, which is unusual for a moisturizer that provides both hydration and oil balance. I think it would suit various skin types, whether oily or dry. Despite my sensitive skin that often reacts with inflammatory acne or redness and itching, I had no such issues with this cream, which was reassuring! Recommended Skin Types: While I recommend it for both oily and dry skin types, it's especially suitable for combination skin. It provides hydration without stickiness and absorbs quickly, making it versatile for use year-round without needing separate summer and winter moisturizers. Summer: Apply a thin layer after your skincare routine Winter: Apply 2-3 thin layers after your skincare routine Personal Rating (Subjective Opinion): Design: ⭐⭐⭐ - Neutral Ingredients: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Excellent Scent: ⭐⭐⭐ - Fragrance-free Moisturizing Power: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Good Absorption: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Fast (for a moisturizer) Feel on Skin: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Smooth without stickiness
ConsAreas for Improvement: Spatula: As someone who values hygiene, I noticed the package didn't include a spatula for applying the cream. Packaging Design: It would be great if it came in a more hygienic and convenient squeeze tube. While I believe this cream's strength lies in its ability to moisturize without stickiness and its quick absorption, the overall design and color give off a somewhat heavy impression, making it look like a typical moisturizer. If the design could better reflect the product's strengths, it might create a more appealing image.

In these times when my skin is super sensitive and reacts badly to everything I put on, it's fine to apply at night. It's been so long since I've found a cream that doesn't make my sensitive skin all red and irritated. After receiving the product, I wanted to learn more, so I watched the founder's video to study(?) it a bit. As the founder said, it's clear that a lot of care went into making this. After applying this, my makeup goes on smoothly and my skin feels silky, which makes me happy. The hydration definitely lasts for a long time. Personally, I used it like a sleeping pack, applying it before bed, and it worked wonders!
ConsHowever, if you have oily skin, you might need to apply it thinly and frequently, or use it with some cool air. Otherwise, it could potentially feel quite greasy. Proper amount control is essential! This would be really great for dry skin types!
TipPersonally, I used it together with Skinfood's Propolis Ampoule, and I thought there couldn't be a better combination. The next day, my skin didn't end up super oily! Instead, even when I rubbed my skin, nothing came off - it just had that perfect honey-like glow. It works hard!

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.ProsUnlike some moisturizers that can cause makeup to pill or clump, this cream doesn't do that at all! Usually, I avoid using creams in the morning due to their rich texture, fearing they might make my skin oily by afternoon. However, this one adheres to the skin beautifully. When used with a drying mineral sunscreen, it creates a perfect balance. What's particularly impressive is the finish - it leaves the skin slightly powdery and smooth, giving the impression of improved skin texture.
ConsWhile I didn't notice any additional blemishes, considering the smooth finish, there's a concern it might clog pores (which the ingredients list confirms). Those who are particularly worried about this should keep it in mind when purchasing.
TipThis product feels like it creates a protective barrier in the final step of your routine, preventing moisture loss. Naturally, it's best applied after thoroughly hydrating your skin.

The cream has a nice consistency that's neither too runny nor too heavy. It's quite versatile. When you first apply it, it feels a bit rich, but once it absorbs, your skin feels soft and smooth! Some creams only make your skin look shiny on the surface, but this one really stands out in that aspect. While it does provide hydration, as someone with dry skin, I found it slightly lacking, so I layered it with a lighter moisturizer. One thing's for sure - it instantly makes your skin texture incredibly soft!
ConsIt doesn't give that deep, intense hydration feeling. To be honest, I've never experienced that with any cream. If you layer it over a sticky toner (applied three times) and a light moisturizer, it provides adequate hydration.
TipI think I'll need to use this with a richer serum or a more hydrating ampoule. Those looking for a lightweight option for summer should be quite satisfied!

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!

I'm so grateful to have been selected as a Hwahae Tester. After using it for about 10 days, my skin texture has improved tremendously. I have dry skin with some uneven texture, but within days of using this product, my skin became smoother and more supple. It's amazing how well my makeup applies now, and my skin feels firmer than before! I'm not sure if it's thanks to the hyaluronic acid or other ingredients, but my skin has visibly improved, and I'm over the moon! Hydration Not only has my skin texture improved, but the hydration is also fantastic. I used to exfoliate once every two weeks, but with this product, my skin is so well-hydrated that I didn't have any flaky skin when applying makeup today. The texture is slightly slippery, but it doesn't leave an oily residue. As I have dry skin, I applied it morning and night. I was careful to use less before makeup application to avoid pilling, and it worked perfectly! No blemishes I occasionally get blemishes, but during the 10 days of using this product, I didn't develop any new ones, and some existing small ones even disappeared! I usually need to remove blackheads every 2-3 weeks, but they're not even forming now. How is this possible? I only expected hydration, but it's even tackling blemishes!
ConsI couldn't find any drawbacks with this product. If I had to mention something, it would be that the container is so full that it requires a bit more strength to open the lid. I didn't want to write an overly positive review, so I tried to find even the smallest issue, but this product is truly perfect!
TipI'm not sure if this counts as a tip, but in the evening, I apply enough to massage with my fingers, while before makeup, I apply just enough to moisturize. I absolutely love this essential product for creating such a miracle! By the way, the expiration date is until 2023.

Plus, the large volume is great - I can slather it on generously at night like a mask. My skin gets super dry during seasonal changes, leading to dead skin cells, tiny bumps, blemishes, and irritation. This cream is supposed to soothe and improve skin texture. After using it morning and night, I'm not sure about its effects on dryness or blemishes, but I definitely noticed an improvement in my skin's texture.
ConsI don't like thick, heavy creams, and unfortunately, this product felt heavy and suffocating on my face. If you prefer richer moisturizers, you might enjoy this. While I was satisfied with the texture improvement, I didn't notice any particular soothing effects. The slightly greasy and heavy formula seemed to negatively impact my blemishes. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, you might want to think twice about this one.
TipThis cream is recommended if your main goal is improving skin texture. It seems best suited for dry or combination dehydrated skin types, especially for use as an overnight mask. Not ideal for oily skin.

Amount The 80mL jar is packed full of cream, so you get a lot of product. The texture is quite rich, so it should last a really long time. 2. Blemishes I usually avoid products with stearic acid, but there were hardly any reviews mentioning blemishes. I took a chance and thankfully, it didn't cause any breakouts. 3. Skin texture While this product won't miraculously transform your skin texture, I did notice my skin felt smoother to the touch, showing some improvement. 4. Hydration I typically use lightweight moisturizers, so switching to this richer cream really helped balance the oil and moisture in my dry cheek areas.
Cons1. Hygiene The jar packaging without a spatula is a bit concerning for hygiene. Since there's so much product and it'll last a while, I'm considering transferring small amounts to another container for use. 2. Ingredients While it's free from 20 harmful ingredients, it contains several pore-clogging components. I wouldn't recommend this for those with oily skin. As my T-zone is oily, I'm only applying it to my dry U-zone.
TipCheck out Kim Ki-soo's YouTube video on how to use this product based on your skin type. It's really helpful!

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.ProsI have oily skin prone to dehydration, which causes small bumps to appear when it's dry. With the changing seasons and my laziness in only applying toner and serum, my skin became rough and bumpy, causing me stress. After using this for about two days, morning and night, I noticed a definite improvement in my skin texture. It became softer, which made it appear more soothed. It also seemed to temporarily brighten my complexion right after application. If you're concerned about skin texture, this might be worth trying. I'll keep using it for a few more days to see how it affects the small bumps. +Update: After about two weeks of use, I can say this is a really great cream for nighttime use. It feels like it's filling in the dry areas? Even when I wash my face in the morning, my skin feels well-hydrated.
ConsI think it might feel a bit heavy in the summer... It would probably be best used at night in dry, air-conditioned indoor environments. +Update: Now that it's summer, when I use it during the day and go out, it feels a bit uncomfortable.
