This product gives me the exact moisturizing feel I'm looking for. It has a lotion-like texture with an even mix of oil and water, providing initial hydration and then a suitable oily layer to seal it in. I think this would be great for others with combination skin like mine. ♡Absorption The absorption is quite fast, making it easy to use. At first, it may seem no different from other lotions, but once you start applying it, it gets absorbed quickly without needing to pat it in for long. ♡Texture The texture is a typical runny one, but after absorption, it leaves behind a soft, powdery finish, almost like just applying a booster. There's no stickiness, just a smooth, soft result. ♡No Pilling As mentioned, the lightweight texture means that sunscreen or CC cream applied on top don't pill or slide off. In the morning, when doing my skincare routine, I don't have to worry about products pilling, which is great. ♡Cooling Effect When first applied, there's a cooling sensation, similar to aloe gel, so it would be perfect to use after a hot shower in the summer. The refreshing feel after a warm shower is very pleasant. ♡Packaging The packaging looks very luxurious, making it a great gift option. As a young man in my early 20s, I do find it a bit heavy-handed for my personal use, but I think my father would absolutely love receiving this as a gift. ♡No Breakouts So far, I haven't experienced any issues or breakouts.
Cons♤Fragrance Hmm... It has an 'uncle' skin care fragrance. To be more specific, it's a somewhat sophisticated 'uncle' scent... Not the kind you'd find in a gym locker room, but more like the smell of an uncle who wears a suit to the office. Anyway, the fragrance is disappointing to me... ㅠㅠ Either put a nice fragrance in men's cosmetics or make it unscented... ♤Moisturizing Feel As mentioned earlier, the powdery finish is just right for summer, but I think it might be a bit lacking for me in the winter. Oily-skinned people might be fine with it even in winter, but I'm particularly sensitive to the oil-water balance depending on the season, being combination skin...
TipTo maintain the moisture throughout the day, it's best to apply this after thoroughly cleansing and doing your toner or booster skincare steps. Alternatively, you could apply an ampoule or aloe gel before using this moisturizer for an extra hydration boost!

I am a male in my 20s with oily skin that is somewhat sensitive and occasionally experiences minor blemishes. • Design The pump-type design is clean and clutter-free, making it hygienic and convenient to use and store. • Texture and Application The lightweight formula is not burdensome, and the smooth application allows for good absorption. It does not feel sticky, which I appreciated. • Moisturizing Ability (After using a light-textured toner from another brand) This product seems suitable for use in the recent summer, spring, and fall seasons.
Cons• Fragrance (Polarizing) The fragrance is similar to a common male skincare/cosmetic scent, but it has a softer feel rather than being overpowering. Personally, I was not a big fan of it and found it a bit disorienting. • Moisturizing Ability There are both pros and cons, but as the weather gets colder, this alone may not be sufficient. • The lightweight formula may not be suitable for those with very dry skin. • While my blemishes did not significantly worsen, the inclusion of pore-clogging ingredients may be a concern for some consumers.

The pump packaging allows for a neat and clean application. 2. The lightweight, non-sticky finish is likely to appeal to male users.
Cons1. Fragrance The fragrance has a strong like/dislike factor. I personally felt it had an 'uncle' skin scent. Using too much resulted in an overpowering smell. 2. Lightweight finish While it's an emulsion, the finish is more akin to an essence, so it may be insufficient for those with combination to dry skin types.

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.ProsI'm writing a review after receiving and using the product (subject to revision after continued use). I'm a 30-year-old male with oily skin and dry skin issues. Firstly, the toner and emulsion seem to be combined. The application is extremely smooth. The moisture level is also good right after application, perhaps due to the toner content. Secondly, there were no breakouts. I even had my 50-year-old father try it, and neither of us experienced any issues using it the next day. Thirdly, it's a pump product, so it's very convenient to use. I can pump it twice with my hand without it running out, and it's ready to use.
ConsTo be honest, I noticed the downsides of the product right away. This is just my personal opinion. Firstly, the design of the case. Maybe it's because I'm in my 30s, but the emulsion bottle has a lot of text and logos on the front, which I found a bit unappealing aesthetically. I tend to pay attention to design when purchasing products. Those who don't care about design won't have an issue with this. Secondly, the scent. As a men's product, it has the typical fragrance of men's cosmetics. My father doesn't mind it, but I personally dislike the scent. Looking at the ingredients on the Hwahae app, the scent seems to be the only downside. Thirdly, the moisture level is immediately good, but for someone like me with dry skin, using this alone is not enough. I need to apply a moisturizer or cream as well. Fourthly, considering this is a combined toner and emulsion at 125ml for 22,000 won, it's not a bad price. But these days, there are all-in-one cosmetics available in the 20,000 won range that also contain cream components, so the price may vary depending on individual usage needs.

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- The fact that it is a pump-based product was great, as it allows for hygienic usage! The pump design is also convenient to press, and the amount dispensed per pump is not excessive, making it easy to control the application. - The formula is slightly on the thinner side, and it absorbs quickly. So it feels suitable for summer use, and after applying the skin toner, just using this product alone can provide sufficient hydration during the summer months! (For reference, I have combination skin that is more on the oily/dehydrated side!)
ConsThe only downside seems to be the fragrance. As it is a product that contains fragrance, while the scent is not overpowering, it does have a rather typical masculine fragrance, which was the most disappointing aspect.
TipFor summer use, after applying the skin toner, if you spread this product all over, it should be just about right for most skin types, except for very dry skin. For those with dry skin or who experience more dryness, or during the transitional seasons and winter, it would be good to add a cream as an additional step.

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 was able to try men's cosmetics for the first time through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program. The product felt like an all-in-one, considering the characteristics of men who tend to be bothered by complicated routines. While it's not exactly an all-in-one, the reasons I felt that way are: 1. Extremely fast absorption and sebum control Compared to other lotions I've used, there was very little stickiness, and as soon as I applied and spread it, it felt like it had already been fully absorbed. I think those with oily skin would find it particularly effective. The texture also felt pleasant, as it was moisturizing without any greasy residue. 2. Convenient cosmetic packaging The pump-style packaging is very neat, both in actual use and in appearance, compared to squeeze-type lotions. Additionally, having a separate cap on top would make it feel more convenient and tidy for men who have used squeeze-type lotions before. 3. Short-lasting fragrance This is a personal preference, but I strongly dislike the sour fragrances found in most men's cosmetics. In the case of this emulsion, the fragrance quickly dissipates after a few pats, likely due to the fast absorption. This could be a consideration for those who, like me, dislike these types of fragrances when transitioning to men's cosmetics.
ConsThe moisture does not last long. Personally, the pump packaging looks a bit cheap compared to the overall design. The common citrusy, slightly sour fragrance found in men's cosmetics.
TipAs mentioned in the drawbacks, the moisture does not last long, so using an aloe gel or moisturizer in addition to this product would be a good idea.

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.ProsAmong the men's cosmetics on the market, this one has minimal irritating ingredients, which is great. I have oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin, and usually when I switch to a new product, I experience a breakout during the adjustment period. But with this product, there were no such issues from the start! It absorbs quickly and feels lightweight, so it's easy for men to use without feeling burdened. The packaging also looks premium, and the price seems reasonable. It provides sufficient moisture without feeling heavy on oily skin.
ConsThe fragrance isn't overpowering, but there's a distinct men's cosmetics scent that lingers for a while. It's a very mild and gentle product with good ingredients, but it's not quite compelling enough for me to switch from what I've been using...! I tested it for a few days and then gave it to my father, and he's been using it happily.

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.ProsPrice/Volume: ₩22,000/125ml ➡️ Men's cosmetic prices seem to be gradually increasing, but the price-to-volume ratio appears reasonable and not overly expensive. Usage: Pump-type ➡️ The pump-type dispenser makes it easy to use. Fragrance: A sophisticated men's skin fragrance (suits my preference) Texture: It's a typical all-in-one formula for men. However, it doesn't dry out quickly or get absorbed too fast, making it easy to apply. User Review: As the weather gets warmer, it may feel slightly heavy, but for now, the oil-moisture balance seems well-suited. It leaves a long-lasting moisturized feel, and excess oil production is not a major issue.
Cons1. The amount that comes out when pressed to the maximum is a bit too much. I initially had trouble adjusting the amount. 2. The fragrance may be divisive: As it's a men's skin fragrance, it may be a matter of personal preference. 3. It may be slightly oily: As the weather gets hotter, it seems like the oil content may increase.

I've been using this product for a week, and the good thing is that after applying it, there is little stickiness and it absorbs well. Second ✨ This is a bit unusual, but since it seems to suit my skin well, even though I have a lot of acne scars, I can see the scars gradually fading. This effect may vary from person to person, but I've experienced good results. Third ✨ When I first received it, the box gave me a luxurious feeling, like receiving a Dior perfume. 😆 The bottle also had a similar feel, and the pump makes it easy to control the amount, so it's a convenient product to use. Fourth ✨ The ingredients in this men's product are quite gentle. Typically, products use ingredients like alcohol to create a cooling sensation, but since those ingredients are absent, I feel less concern about breakouts.
ConsSince fragrance is included, the skin toner has a noticeable scent after using it in the men's sauna. The scent is divisive, but since I don't like fragrances, I've included this as a downside.
TipIf it's summer, using this product alone should be fine, but if you have dry skin or plan to use it in the winter, I'd recommend using a moisturizing product along with it.
