Usually, stick moisturizers only feel oily with little hydration, but this one forms a protective layer when you rub it in, creating a moisture barrier. That's why I liked it even more!
ConsFirst off, I have combination dehydrated skin, meaning I lack moisture but have excess oil. So I typically use products that address deep dryness, but I avoid those with oils. However, given this product's nature, it contains oil, and unfortunately, it caused a massive breakout for me. My skin just can't seem to tolerate oils. Also, the amount you get is quite small compared to the price.
TipHighly recommended for those with dry skin. It's convenient to carry around. Not recommended for oily skin types. If you have oily skin, this might make you feel like an oil slick.

Texture & Application: It comes in a convenient stick form with a balm-like consistency. No need to get your hands messy, making it perfect for on-the-go use. There's a slight cooling effect upon application, though it doesn't last too long. Skin Reaction: I have combination dehydrated skin that tends to get especially dry and flaky around my cheekbones and jawline. This product keeps my skin hydrated without causing any irritation, which I love.
ConsWhile everything else is great, the amount you get for the price is disappointingly small.
TipIt works wonders for preventing foundation from settling into fine lines around the eyes and nasolabial folds. Applying this stick before foundation ensures a smooth, hydrated application.

It's a stick, so I've only used sunscreen sticks before, but this Aqua Stick is the first of its kind for me. It seems better than a mist, and it's even more useful when going out! The compact size is great!^^ I have a skincare routine of toner, moisturizer, sunscreen, ampoule cushion, and setting spray - but in the fall and winter, the issues that arise on my face are no joke. This could be an essential product to carry around in the winter. For those of us with dry skin who don't like to do matte makeup, this would be great to apply on top of your makeup! I also really like the very subtle fragrance.
ConsSince others have mentioned the price a lot, I thought I should look for something else. But everything else is fine, so the only downside is that the price is a bit high considering the volume.
TipWhen I eat and brush my teeth, the makeup around my mouth gets wiped off. But with this, I get a smoothing effect on my crow's feet, and when I apply the cushion on top, it's just perfect!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsThe Hwahae Testers review: The product is about 9.5cm long and 2.5cm in diameter when closed, making it lightweight and easy to hold in one hand. Being a stick format, you don't need to apply it with your hands separately. This could be great when your skin feels dry but your hands aren't clean. As someone who doesn't prefer strongly scented products, I find the subtle fragrance of this one quite pleasant and suitable for most users. It feels wonderfully moisturizing when applied, giving a satisfyingly hydrated sensation. The gentle cooling effect when applied is a nice touch. It's perfect for those who enjoy cooling products or as we head into warmer weather.
ConsA common drawback of stick products - the quantity feels a bit lacking. The formula is somewhat soft, so be careful not to apply too much pressure. In my personal experience, the effects don't seem to last very long. You might find yourself reapplying frequently, which could lead to using up the product quickly. (Others might not have the same experience though)
TipI don't have any groundbreaking tips, but... After cleansing, use this product to prevent dryness, then apply your regular skincare products. If you use this product again after some time, you might notice it glides on even more smoothly. To get a richer application, try swiping the stick across your skin instead of gently tapping it. Keep in mind that fine dust might stick to the product during use, so try to maintain cleanliness when applying.

I tried this product with my mother (currently with dry skin) at my family home. We both agreed that the best feature is not having to get your hands messy when applying. When applied generously, you could see water droplets forming on the skin, visibly demonstrating its intense hydration. Unlike most stick products where moisture seems to evaporate quickly, this one retained its hydrating effect. I found that using just this and toner before bed left my skin feeling moisturized and great. While I didn't notice it much, my mother mentioned a cooling sensation during application. Using this before bed seems to leave your skin looking clearer!
ConsWhile it's surprisingly easy to apply, it's also quite soft, which means it can get messy and wears down quickly. They advertise it as great for frequent application on-the-go, but considering the price, the amount seems a bit small for that purpose. Also, as someone with oily skin, I found it a bit too rich! I think if they made a cream version with the same ingredients, it could be a holy grail product.

You can moisturize on-the-go without getting your hands messy. This product seems perfect for times like these. It's great that it's in stick form, making it easy to apply directly to your face when you can't use your hands.
ConsWhile the amount might seem a bit small, it's probably for the best. Given it's a stick format, using a larger quantity for too long could lead to contamination issues. I'm trying to look at it positively!
TipThe weather has been incredibly hot lately, but applying this to my flushed face felt so refreshing and nice! I usually carry a cooler bag for my child, so I've been keeping the stick cool in there. Using it chilled feels even better!

Many people have been using these kinds of sticks lately. It keeps your skin hydrated by allowing you to apply it to dry areas whenever needed. The stick format is portable, making it convenient to use. I applied it before my sunscreen, and it felt cool upon application. Despite its moisturizing properties, I thought it might feel rich, but it absorbs well and doesn't cause pilling when applied before makeup. For hygiene reasons, I didn't apply it after makeup. It doesn't leave a greasy feeling, so it seems suitable for summer use as well. It's great for quickly swiping around the eyes and neck area as an alternative to eye cream. As someone in their 40s who's sensitive about wrinkles, I'd definitely repurchase this kind of product if the price is reasonable. I was satisfied with how smoothly it applies and its pleasant scent!
ConsThe downside is the small amount of product. I think it might be too little for the price. Other than that, no complaints.
TipCarry it with you and apply it whenever your skin feels dry. It absorbs quickly and leaves your skin feeling hydrated!

So I decided to buy it with my own money! # It's Incredibly Hydrating It's seriously super hydrating + has gentle ingredients Unlike mists that often feel like they evaporate along with your skin's moisture, this one keeps your skin hydrated for a long time after application! # Scent The scent is almost fragrance-free!! Which is great # Repurchase I'll probably repurchase this once I've used it all up!!!
Cons# It's Too Small... The volume is... just about the size of an old-school glue stick. Although you don't need to apply it as often as a mist, you still need to reapply it frequently, and since the weather has been so dry lately, I've been applying it whenever my skin feels dry.. I can feel the product running out quickly # Cooling Effect The cooling effect isn't as intense as I expected However, it does feel refreshing when I apply it after exfoliating or using tea tree oil # Pilling Lately, I've been wearing just sunscreen instead of full makeup, and when I tried applying this about 3 hours after putting on sunscreen, it caused the sunscreen to pill... turning white. I imagine it would pill even more over foundation
TipWhile it's good to reapply whenever your skin feels dry, I also like to apply a generous amount of this product over my moisturizer before bed! It leaves my face feeling hydrated the next morning

I was worried since I really dislike artificial scents, but it's so subtle you can barely notice it. It feels wonderfully cool and hydrating when applied. As soon as you put it on your face or body, you get this refreshing sensation. Even when I'm too lazy to apply anything after washing my face, I just glide this stick on and it doesn't feel tight at all. Instead, it lightly hydrates and cools my skin. The small size makes it super portable - it doesn't take up much space in my bag. It doesn't cause pilling when applied over makeup. If you rub it vigorously over makeup it might smudge, but if you apply it gently, it feels cool and doesn't disturb your makeup at all.
ConsThe hygiene aspect is a bit concerning. I'm a little uneasy about it directly touching the skin. Especially when applying over makeup, even if you do it gently, it still picks up a bit of makeup that you need to wipe off, which is a shame as it reduces the product. The quantity seems a bit small. As much as I like the product, it feels like there's not enough for frequent use on face and body. I've only used it a few times, but I already notice a significant decrease in the amount.
TipRather than using it alone on bare skin, try applying your regular skincare products first, then lightly glide this over as a final layer. Gently spread it with your fingers. This method keeps your face cool and hydrated for longer, significantly reducing any feeling of heat on your skin!
