ConsI have combination and sensitive skin, but I've never experienced anything like this. Within about 3 hours of applying this product, I wake up feeling swollen around my lips. My skin actually broke out badly and it took a considerable amount of time to recover. At first, I thought it might be due to poor health, but after two weeks, I applied it again and woke up in the early morning with the same swollen feeling around my lips. I had to wash my face, apply a cold compress, and now I'm writing this angry review after checking the ingredients on the Hwahae app.
TipJust don't use it from the start. I suffered for about a week last time, and I'm wondering why I'm doing this to myself again.

ConsI used the sample for two days, and it caused blemishes on my face and made it itchy. I don't think I'll be purchasing this.

As Sulwhasoo is a brand I've always loved, I used the product with great enthusiasm. The best part was the well-balanced overall feel. The perfect blend of richness and hydration makes it comfortable to apply without feeling heavy. Since I have extremely dry skin, I used this product during the day. It felt a bit insufficient for nighttime use. After about two weeks of application, I noticed my skin becoming more supple and firm.
ConsI'm a bit disappointed by some of the potentially irritating ingredients. Above all, I really disliked the fragrance. I don't understand why they added such an artificial scent. The fragrance makes me feel like it might irritate my face... To be honest, it's making me a bit hesitant to use it. Nevertheless, because the texture is so nice, I'm still using it during the day.
TipI think it works best as a day cream. If you have dry skin, mixing it with a facial oil might be beneficial.

I had high expectations for this Sulwhasoo product, as they usually deliver above-average results. I have extremely dry skin with atopic dermatitis, making my skin super sensitive - even products others find fine often cause blemishes for me. Application + Absorption The application is excellent. It has a gel-cream hybrid texture that's neither too heavy nor too light, spreading smoothly on the skin. It also absorbs well. I applied this after my toner-essence-moisturizer routine, and I loved how it glided on, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and smooth. However, due to my extremely dry skin, I still felt some tightness when using this cream alone. Scent The fragrance is pleasantly sweet with floral notes, not off-putting at all. It's like a mix of sweet plum and flowers. Although I usually prefer unscented products, I found this fragrance quite enjoyable.
ConsThe downside is, unfortunately, the ingredients and the blemishes they caused... Unlike Sulwhasoo's Timetreasure line and other products, my face became red and swollen with blemishes after just one day of use. I continued for a few more days, which led to dermatitis, forcing me to stop immediately. Two weeks later, I'm still struggling with the aftermath. After I stopped using it, I gave it to my 50-year-old mother. While she didn't experience blemishes, she found it too drying to use on her face. Now she's using it as an expensive hand cream. Looking at the ingredient list, I see many problematic components that my allergy-prone, sensitive skin simply can't tolerate. I wouldn't recommend this for sensitive skin or those with atopic dermatitis.
TipFor those with extremely dry skin, mixing in a drop of facial oil can enhance hydration. It's advisable to check the ingredient list first and reconsider if you spot any components that don't agree with your skin.

When I saw Song Hye-kyo advertising this product, I was really interested. I was thrilled to be selected for The Hwahae Testers! Thank you for this great opportunity! Here's my review after using it for a week: ⭐️ Subtle floral fragrance Unlike other Sulwhasoo products, this has a delicate floral scent which I personally loved. It made me feel like a princess when applying! The fragrance isn't overpowering, just subtle. While younger people often avoid Sulwhasoo due to its scent, I think this one could definitely appeal to a younger audience. ⭐️ Smooth application The texture is just right - not too thick or thin. It applies smoothly without any discomfort. ⭐️ Luxurious and pretty packaging This might seem trivial, but it's actually quite important to me! The case has a soft cherry blossom pink color that's perfect for spring. It's so beautiful that it brightens up my entire vanity! ⭐️ Balanced hydration As someone with dry skin, I found it slightly lacking, but I think it would be perfect for combination skin types. It provides moisture without being too oily. After application, my skin feels firm and supple - not sticky, just plump. It doesn't leave a greasy shine.
ConsAlthough I liked it overall, I gave it 3 stars because the downsides were significant for me. 😢 Disappointing ingredients The biggest letdown was that the ingredients didn't agree with my skin. I'm not sure which component caused it, but on the second day, I developed redness and my skin texture became rough and started to feel irritated. I hadn't changed any other skincare products or had any unusual outdoor activities. Looking at the ingredient list, I noticed there were quite a few potentially problematic ingredients for a modern cosmetic product, which might explain why it didn't suit me. 😢 Insufficient hydration As I mentioned earlier, while this might be enough for combination skin, it wasn't hydrating enough for my very dry skin. I usually apply toner, serum, and then cream, but this cream alone wasn't enough for moisture. It might work better in warmer weather.
TipFor my dry skin, the hydration wasn't quite enough, so I layered it with my usual cream which helped a bit. I also thought using the serum from the same line might improve the results. It's a shame that this cream didn't work for me despite being a good product. On the bright side, my mom loves it - I guess that's Sulwhasoo for you!

Application The cream has a texture that's a mix between a gel and a cream. It applies thinly and smoothly, instantly making the skin look firm. I loved how the cream absorbed immediately without sitting on top of the skin. 2. Moisturizing effect It felt as if I had applied a hydrating cream, leaving my skin feeling moisturized and looking healthy.
Cons1. Blemish outbreak For the first two days of using the cream, I didn't experience any acne. However, on the third day, I noticed blemishes appearing on my chin, so I decided to stop using it for now. 2. Deep dryness I have sensitive skin, so I usually can't mix different skincare products. When I used this cream alone, it seemed to cause deep dryness. In the evening after cleansing, I noticed significantly more dead skin cells than usual on my face.
TipFor those with super sensitive skin, it might be beneficial to use a small amount applied with a spatula.

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.

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.
