Due to moving, my review is late, but thanks to that, I can provide you with seasonal coverage information as I've used it until fall! (Hydration) My skin type is dry. When opening the package, it's a thin emulsion form, which made me wonder if it would evaporate quickly or actually provide and lock in moisture for my skin. I have extremely dry skin and usually apply thick creams generously in winter, so before applying, I thought it wouldn't be able to protect my skin's moisture. But surprisingly, it's incredibly hydrating! It exceeds expectations! While I'd like to think it might work well even in winter, I can confidently say it's great for extremely dry skin in spring, summer, and fall. (Texture & Fragrance) However, in summer it's hydrating and refreshingly light! There's a slight floral sensation on the face - is it just the scent or my imagination? My friend runs a handmade soap workshop, and it smells similar to a soap I recently received from there. I'd like to describe it as a lemon-honey scent, or perhaps like a lemon-honey tea? (Is that why the name includes 'honey' and the packaging design features a paper cup? This seems to be the design concept.) Should I say the texture is thin yet elastic, just like honey? The scent isn't bad, and it's not too strong, so it's fine at this level. For reference, I'm quite sensitive to fragrances. I don't like artificial scents! (Natural Ingredients) So I was curious about what ingredients they used. As I suspected, they've included honey. I also see sunflower seed oil, camellia seed oil, and fermented rice extract. (Skin Soothing Effect) It seems to have a soothing effect. When applied, there's a slight tingling sensation, but it feels pleasant - perhaps due to the scent!
Cons(Brightening Effect) I'm not sure about the brightening effect! I felt like my complexion became somewhat more radiant, but I might need to use it for a few months to give feedback on the results. Or maybe my expectations for brightening products were too high... >.< (Price) At around $20, I'd like to buy it for my friend who recently gave birth, but the price isn't exactly cheap. However, considering it's free from chemical ingredients and parabens, uses natural ingredients, and is cruelty-free (probably referring to no animal testing), it might be worth splurging on!
Tip- If you want something that absorbs lightly but still provides hydration, this might be good for you! - Recommended for pregnant women, those with atopic dermatitis, or those avoiding products with chemical ingredients!

The packaging was absolutely gorgeous, and I was thrilled to receive a handwritten note along with it. It really made my day! The cream's container itself is so beautiful that I'll probably want to keep it even after I've used up all the product. Texture: The texture is quite fluid, reminiscent of a hydrating moisturizer rather than a thick cream. It feels more like a rich emulsion. Application: Due to its lighter consistency, it absorbs quickly and applies smoothly. However, as someone with combination dehydrated skin, I noticed it left a slight sheen on my skin, almost as if it formed a thin protective layer. This wasn't bothersome though, and actually felt quite nice, like a protective barrier. Brightening effect: I typically use a shade 21 foundation. Since this cream is marketed for its brightening properties, I paid close attention to this aspect. While I don't think any cream can dramatically whiten your skin overnight, I did notice my complexion becoming more radiant and translucent. It felt like something had changed from within. Personally, I'm quite satisfied with this level of effectiveness from a cream!
ConsIf I had to point out the biggest drawback of this cream, it would definitely be the ingredients. I have extremely sensitive skin, so I was a bit apprehensive about trying this cream at first. While I didn't experience any significant irritation or noticeable blemishes, after a few days I started to develop small bumps on my skin. I'm not entirely sure if this was due to the cream or something else, but the reaction was similar to what I experienced with the Real Barrier cream when its ingredients didn't agree with my skin. I tend to react poorly to creams with pore-clogging ingredients. If you've had similar experiences with such ingredients in the past, you might want to approach this product with caution.
TipSince this product's main focus is brightening, I personally found it lacking in terms of hydration. It felt like it was protecting the surface but not deeply moisturizing. I think it would work well if used in conjunction with a deeply hydrating serum - this way, you'd get that inner hydration while the cream forms a protective barrier on top!

First off, the packaging is incredibly unique and I felt really excited when I received it. The luxurious packaging is a definite plus. I initially thought it would be thick since it's called a cream, but surprisingly, it's quite light. When applied, it feels cool and lightweight, making it perfect to use alongside serums or oils. It's actually more of a gel-type product. Despite being a gel, it provided better hydration than I expected, leaving my skin feeling deeply moisturized. The best part is that it's not sticky at all, so it feels very comfortable on the skin.
ConsIt's disappointing that the ingredients include potential allergens added for fragrance. Also, while it's marketed as a brightening moisturizer, I haven't noticed any significant brightening effects yet. Though to be fair, I haven't finished the entire jar.
TipFor winter use, I'd recommend mixing in a drop of facial oil. It might also work well as an overnight mask - try applying a thick layer before bed!

It's not rich and absorbs quickly. It feels like a slightly rich emulsion? Packaging: The packaging was particularly beautiful, probably because I won it through The Hwahae Testers. It was quite touching :) And the cup-shaped container was adorable! Hydration: The moisturizing power was great. Maybe because I have oily skin, but applying just this didn't make me feel dry at all. When I applied it at night, my skin stayed hydrated until the next morning~ Application: Since the formula is light, it spreads smoothly and absorbs quickly. No blemishes: While my skin is acne-prone, it's not particularly sensitive to cosmetics, so I didn't experience any breakouts. Spatula: I usually find jar-type creams a bit unsanitary, but I appreciated that they included a separate spatula.
ConsIngredients: Of course, it's more important to consider whether a product suits you rather than just looking at potentially problematic or allergenic ingredients. However... these days, there are so many products with EWG green-grade ingredients and no common allergens that I probably wouldn't go out of my way to use this unless it had amazing results or effects. The package says it's paraben-free, but if they're focusing on careful ingredient selection, it would be nice if there were even fewer potentially problematic ingredients. Fragrance: Why did they add fragrance? The scent itself isn't terrible, but it felt a bit strong to me. It's a typical cosmetic fragrance. Unfortunately, the smell seemed to linger after application, which gave me a headache. For me, there wasn't anything extraordinarily great about this product, which was disappointing. To be fair, I have oily skin and usually only need a serum in this weather. I'll try it again when it gets colder.

First off, my skin type is oily in summer and combination-dry in winter! My skin is easily affected by environmental factors, with blemishes appearing when I'm stressed or overheated. ☁️ Texture - From the product photos, I expected a thick, nourishing cream texture. But when I actually received it, surprisingly, it had more of a fluid, emulsion-like consistency. ☁️ Application - Although the texture is thin, applying too much made absorption slow and felt heavy. However, when I spread a small amount thinly and patted it in, it adhered to my skin perfectly, giving an instant firming sensation. If you have oily skin, you might be fine using just this product after toning. ☁️ Effectiveness - As I mentioned, I have sensitive skin, so I was worried about potential blemishes! Initially, I over-applied and woke up with some small bumps. But when I adjusted the amount and applied a thin layer, I didn't experience any more breakouts. The ingredients seem gentle, so this might work well for those with super sensitive skin!
Cons☁️ Packaging - Personally, I'm not a fan of jar-type creams, which was disappointing. They're less hygienic than tubes or pumps. You'll need to be careful about managing the jar opening or using a spatula! ☁️ Scent - It has a rather peculiar smell. I don't usually focus on fragrance as I prioritize good ingredients, but those sensitive to scents might find this polarizing. ☁️ Brightening effect - I think it's too much to expect cosmetics to dramatically whiten skin, so I didn't have high hopes. Whether it's because I haven't used it long enough or not, I haven't noticed any brightening effects yet. I'll need to use it longer to really tell!

With consistent use, I felt like it had a brightening effect too! Plus, the amount you get is generous, and a little goes a long way. I didn't even need to scoop out a lot - just a small dab was enough to cover my cheeks and chin. You'll be able to use this for a long time!
ConsWell, the scent... it reminds me of that liquid slime they used to sell in stationery shops when I was a kid. It's not exactly a pleasant fragrance, unfortunately. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found this cream focuses more on adding richness rather than hydration. It seems better suited for those with dry skin! For me, adding more richness to my already oily skin led to increased sebum production and a few blemishes. I only used it for about 4 days before stopping.
TipDue to its rich texture, it's better suited as a night cream rather than for morning use! The consistency is quite fluid, so you don't need to layer many other skincare products with it.
