The brightening effect is truly remarkable - it gives you that 'Inner Glow' look, making your complexion appear more radiant. While using it, I definitely noticed an improvement in my skin tone and overall appearance. What's impressive is that you don't need to pat it in vigorously; the ingredients seem to penetrate deep into the skin effortlessly. It absorbs well even without excessive patting.
ConsThe downside is that given the price and small quantity, you need to use quite a bit to feel like you've applied enough. However, if you apply too much, it starts pilling and leaves white residue.
TipAs with all skincare products, I believe the more potent they are, the more crucial it is to focus on proper absorption.

I started using it when my skin was quite rough, and it improved while using it. It effectively managed issues like flaking dead skin cells throughout the day.
ConsThe price is the biggest drawback, and it's challenging to use in summer. It felt like it was pilling a bit. I stopped using it in summer and started again in late autumn, which works better.

As someone who prefers thicker formulas, it feels wonderfully moisturizing, like a protective barrier on the skin.
ConsHowever, it doesn't seem to absorb beyond that barrier. Even when applied thinly, it pills and rolls off the skin, feeling like it's just sitting on the surface.

So just in case, I apply a generous amount before bed.
ConsI have oily skin, and it tends to pill a little when applied before makeup in the morning.
TipI apply it generously as a sleeping pack at night, and in the morning my skin feels soft and smooth.

The packaging was pretty and the fragrance was nice, that's about it.
ConsI'm not sure if it's worth the price at all... I have dry skin, and it feels quite drying even in the dead of winter. Whether I apply it generously or in a thin layer, it doesn't seem to absorb well. After application, it always pills like dead skin cells. I thought maybe it was just my skin, so I gave it to my mom, but it pilled on her too. Now I just use it as hand cream or foot cream.

Though it doesn't suit me personally, I'd hate to waste it. So I just use it as a mood-lifting perfume.
ConsYou might feel a tingling sensation when applying. Despite claims of absorbing well, it pills every time I use it, like dead skin cells. I can't see any benefits at all. Repurchase? Absolutely not.

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 fragrance is truly delightful, and I love that it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy.
ConsThose with super sensitive skin should exercise caution when using this product. I have mild seborrheic dermatitis around my nose and sensitive skin, but I was tempted by Song Hye-kyo's advertisement and bought it. When I woke up in the morning, my skin texture felt bumpy, and I even noticed some redness. When I apply makeup over this cream, it pills terribly. Even with a thin layer, the pilling seems unavoidable, so I can't use it under makeup. The texture doesn't feel particularly hydrating. Instead, it's somewhat firm and leaves a silicone-like film on the face, which feels uncomfortable and suffocating. It's not a creamy texture. This won't work for those with deep dryness - it becomes very dry after a while.
TipDon't be swayed by advertisements. Make sure to test the product before purchasing. The film-like feeling on the skin can be uncomfortable.

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 fragrance is absolutely divine, I could bury my nose in it all day. This cream perfectly delivers the moisturizing and silky-smooth finish I had hoped for from the Hera Rosy-Satin Cream (sorry Hera, but you caused too much deep dryness).
ConsHowever, it causes pilling with makeup. I wonder what ingredient is causing this. It's exactly like when I use Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, apply makeup, and then rest my chin on my hand - the product rolls off like eraser shavings. I thought it might be due to sunscreen, so I tried skipping it, but the same disaster occurred. Plus, it's so expensive.
TipIf you're still planning to buy it, try to take advantage of department store promotions to score plenty of samples. That would be the smart way to go.

When I first used it, my skin condition wasn't great due to deep dryness. However, after applying it for a few days, my skin condition improved and even others noticed my complexion brightening. 2. The rich texture makes the skin look more radiant. 3. While the scent might be polarizing, I personally found it subtle and pleasant.
Cons1. It contains significantly more potentially irritating ingredients compared to products I've used before. 2. For the first few days, I thought the dramatic effects justified the high price. However, with continued use as a standalone product, the oil content became too much for my skin to handle. If it matches your oil and moisture balance, it could be great, but if it's too rich, it can easily lead to blemishes without resolving deep dryness. 3. As my mouth area tends to be dry and prone to wrinkles, I tried applying an extra layer, but it pills like dead skin cells. 4. The price is quite steep.
TipIt might work better than a daily mask routine if used in small amounts after applying a product with sufficient hydration and minimal potentially irritating ingredients. Layering it multiple times seems to clog pores and cause blemishes (likely due to the pore-clogging ingredients).

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 selected as one of The Hwahae Testers and got to try this product. I have combination dehydrated skin and am prone to blemishes. Here are the three main advantages I found: 1. Lovely fragrance The pleasant scent lifts my mood every time I use it. 2. Soft and lightweight texture It applies smoothly on the face. A little goes a long way, and it doesn't feel heavy after application. 3. Less oily than expected I always thought Sulwhasoo products were too rich, but this cream is surprisingly less oily. Perhaps they're targeting a younger audience now. However, it might still be a bit too rich for very oily skin types. I also appreciated the included spatula. After using it day and night for a week, I was pleased to see no new blemishes. This is significant for me as I'm quite prone to breakouts.
ConsAs expected with Sulwhasoo, the price is the main drawback. While it applies smoothly and feels lightweight, it wasn't as hydrating as I had hoped. Given its rich texture, I was disappointed by the lack of moisture it provided. Another downside was that if you apply a bit too much, it tends to pill. Overall, I don't see any compelling reason to spend this much on this particular cream.
TipUse the spatula to apply the right amount!
