The cream's light sky blue color is really appealing. While my skin is dry, overly rich creams tend to give me tiny bumps. This one, however, has just the right amount of richness. The texture spreads easily and absorbs well.
ConsThe fragrance is too strong for my liking. It doesn't have a soothing herbal scent, but rather an artificial one that's quite noticeable.

While it doesn't feel particularly rich, I think it would be excellent for use during winter. The texture isn't super light, but it's a sky-blue cream that doesn't feel sticky at all. My makeup applied beautifully after using this!
ConsThe scent is definitely going to be a love-it-or-hate-it situation. It's really strong! Every time I applied it, I felt like I was putting on an intense perfume because of the fragrance.

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.ProsAfter using it for about a week, here's my personal review: Absorption: I expected a thick cream since it's marketed as a firming product, but it spread surprisingly smoothly! It's somewhere between an emulsion and a cream in texture. I really like how it applies. Absorption: As someone who prefers a rich night-time application, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly this absorbs. After patting it in, it disappears almost instantly without any stickiness. Soothing: My skin tends to redden easily, but this cream calms it down quickly and even has a slightly cooling effect. Skin Type: It worked well for my combination skin, which is slightly dry except for the T-zone. I didn't experience any blemishes either. Quantity and Price: 50ml for 28,000 won seems reasonable. It's on par with other well-regarded products, though I wish they'd include more samples or extras. The next morning, my skin feels noticeably softer!
ConsHydration: This is just my personal experience, but even after applying a generous amount, I sometimes felt deep dryness. As someone who likes a rich application, this was a bit disappointing. Scent: The fragrance is noticeable from the moment you open it, and it's quite different from typical cosmetic scents. It reminds me of cinnamon. If you dislike cinnamon or strong fragrances, you might find this unusable. While I don't mind cinnamon, the scent was still a bit bothersome during use. Shipping and Packaging: The shipping box was unnecessarily large with too much padding for such a small product. The cream's container looks nice in photos, but the double-layered opaque design makes the product seem smaller than it is. Also, the product name is only on the lid, not on the jar itself, which isn't ideal. It's hard to identify at a glance. Extras: It would be nice if they included a spatula. Not Recommended For: Given its rich texture, it might not suit oily skin types. The ingredients list also suggests it's less suitable for oily skin.
TipWhile my review might seem to focus on the negatives, I actually liked the product overall.

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 usually avoid products that leave a sticky residue or have a rich, oily feel, but this one didn't have any of that. Instead, it felt firm and elastic on my skin. The finish was pleasantly matte, not heavy at all. I really liked how it didn't leave my skin feeling weighed down. Plus, I didn't experience any blemishes the next day. I had planned to use it long-term before writing a review, but unfortunately, I couldn't because I didn't care for the scent. So I'm not sure about its long-term effects.
ConsThe fragrance is likely to be very polarizing. I would have continued using this product if it weren't for the scent, but it was so overpowering that I couldn't bear to use it anymore. I deducted two stars solely because of how disappointing the fragrance was. While those who like the scent might enjoy using it, I actually would have preferred if it were unscented. Then I could have used it consistently. It's a shame.

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.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers!! The way it absorbs is truly perfect to describe... It feels like applying melted angel clay that's been dissolved in water. It's exactly like that soft, smooth sensation!! Maybe that's why the scent is... like angel clay, but a bit richer? It seems to have an azulene scent, but it's slightly overpowering. The color is a pretty sky blue, and the packaging is beautiful too, so everything else was great. In a nutshell, it feels like applying butter cream. Skin changes!! I'm not sure about the skin becoming firmer, but it seems to make the skin 'soft and supple'. Regarding the amount, I've been using what's on the lid since last Wednesday until now. I scoop out a generous amount to apply, and there's plenty!! Some people might think it's unhygienic without a spatula, but I think it's much better since I don't have anywhere to put it and rarely use one anyway. Oh, and after applying, it's like the skin has been blurred, similar to applying a smooth cream primer.
ConsThe scent... is really unpleasant. This rich angel clay smell is something I can't ignore, even when I try. Every time I apply it, the fragrance makes me feel a bit off. The scent makes me hesitant about repurchasing.

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 absorbs well and absorbs well are great. It applies smoothly and feels moisturizing, which I love. I really appreciated that there was no sticky feeling after application. My skin, which used to feel dry after initial application, became soft and I felt it getting more supple.
Cons- The scent is quite strong. Before opening the box, I liked the subtle fragrance, but when I actually tried to apply it, the scent was too overpowering for my taste. - The hydration is a bit lacking. Since it's a firming cream rather than a hydration cream, it feels less moisturizing and I experienced some deep dryness. Personally, I dislike applying multiple products, so I used to just apply the cream alone. However, due to the feeling of deep dryness, I now make sure to use essence pads before applying the cream.
TipUsing essence pads to add hydration before applying the cream allows for a smoother and more moisturizing application~

The packaging is meticulous and clean, and it comes with a hygiene cap. As soon as I opened it, I was greeted by a rich vanilla scent. Unlike the fragrance, it has a light texture that absorbs well into the skin.
ConsI didn't feel any moisturizing effect, and the scent might be a bit off-putting for some. Unfortunately, I experienced a sudden outbreak of blemishes after using it, which was disappointing.

The gentle formulation is a big plus. The eco-friendly paper packaging and easily recyclable container really won me over too. I have oily but dehydrated sensitive skin. The finish after application was fantastic! True to its name, it feels firm and elastic, with a slight powdery touch. I recommended it to my mother, and she was satisfied without any discomfort.
ConsPersonally, I'm sensitive to fragrances, and this one was too strong for me. It's supposed to be coconut scent, but since I don't like coconut, it was challenging for me. It almost smelled like rubber... sigh.
TipAlso, if you apply too much at once, it can feel quite rich. I recommend using an appropriate amount! It's better to layer it on gradually in multiple thin applications.

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.ProsAs one of The Hwahae Testers, I'll share my honest impressions. I'm a woman in my 20s with very dry skin, so keep that in mind for this review. 1. Packaging To be frank, I wasn't impressed with the packaging at first. The light plastic felt a bit cheap and tacky, giving a poor first impression. However, after reading that it's eco-friendly, I understood the choice. It's not like I'll be showing it off in public, so I can overlook this aspect. 2. Hydration The moment you apply it, you can feel how incredibly rich it is - it's a powerhouse for hydration. No wonder, as it contains a high amount of shea butter. As someone with very dry skin, I love these thick creams. When I apply it before bed, I wake up with smooth, deeply moisturized skin. Rather than absorbing quickly, it feels like it creates a protective layer on the skin. For best results, I recommend using a hydrating essence or serum before applying this cream - it locks in the moisture beautifully. 3. Gentle Formula I debated whether to include this, but it is a positive point. In the two weeks I've been using it, I haven't experienced any adverse reactions or blemishes. (The ingredients list looks good too.) However, I should note that I have quite resilient skin, so those with super sensitive skin might want to take my experience with a grain of salt. As a bonus, after about a week of use, I noticed my makeup went on more smoothly in the mornings - probably due to the improved hydration. I'm planning to continue using it, as I think the results will only get better with consistent use.
Cons1. Scent This is, in my opinion, the product's biggest flaw. The fragrance is... really... quite unpleasant. How to describe it... It's like applying an intensely scented hand cream to your face. At first, I thought it might be a strong vanilla, but it's more likely due to the high shea butter content. It smells exactly like those shea butter hand creams you can buy at Olive Young, which is overwhelming when it's on your face. The scent is so strong, it's almost suffocating, and it lingers for a long time. If you're sensitive to fragrances, be very cautious with this one. 2. Texture and Application Yes, indeed. The application is far from ideal. While I understand it's due to the high shea butter content, it's still a struggle to apply smoothly. For me, this is strictly a nighttime cream. As someone with combination dehydrated skin that tends to get oily, I found that the cream didn't absorb well and left my T-zone looking greasy. After application, the sticky feeling is quite unpleasant. It might work well in winter, but I wouldn't recommend it for spring or summer use.
TipThis product definitely caused pilling when I tried to apply makeup over it in the morning. If you have combination dehydrated skin like me, I strongly suggest using it only at night. Overall, this cream forms a barrier that prevents moisture loss. A pro tip: try mixing in a couple of drops of a hydrating serum - it makes your skin absolutely radiant. Give it a try, you won't regret it!

Initially, it feels hydrating with a slight cooling effect, but spreads with a bit of weight. It doesn't absorb instantly, rather it seems to build up on the skin. However, when patted in, it absorbs surprisingly quickly! Unlike many anti-aging creams that feel sticky and heavy, this one leaves a unique, velvety finish - similar to touching melted candle wax. It's powdery soft without any stickiness. Personally, I found it lightweight and appreciated how it seemed to 'hold' my skin, which I really liked. ✓ Skin sensitivity: I have combination dehydrated skin that's recently become sensitive due to mask-wearing and incompatible products. Even with my current tendency for blemishes, this product didn't cause any breakouts! With its EWG green-grade ingredients, it seems to be genuinely gentle on the skin. ✓ After application: This might feel too heavy for summer use. It's ideal for spring and fall transitional weather. I didn't experience any dryness between application and makeup application. In fact, my foundation applies beautifully over this cream! I use a semi-matte foundation, and it stays on longer without creasing. Unlike sticky formulas that can cause makeup to clump or separate, this product leaves my skin feeling incredibly smooth and supple, which makes makeup application a joy! ✓ Effectiveness: The brand emphasizes skin core benefits, but the effects of such anti-aging creams can vary from person to person. It's best to use up an entire jar to truly assess. While I haven't seen dramatic results yet, I've noticed my skin texture becoming smoother. I'll update on the effects after finishing the whole jar. ✓ Repurchase intention: In terms of effectiveness, I'm still on the fence. It's hard to definitively say after just 9 days of use. However, I'm inclined to repurchase because of how well my makeup applies over it!
Cons✓ Scent: It's hard to describe... It's a familiar scent, but artificial and powdery. While the product works great under makeup, the smell when applying is almost nauseating. Those sensitive to fragrance in cosmetics should think twice. I'm usually not bothered by product scents, but this one is quite strong - beyond subtle, it's intense. ✓ Packaging: A tube format might have been better! I'm not a fan of jar packaging for cosmetics. Also, it doesn't come with a spatula, so I had to use a spare one I had at home. ✓ Deep dryness: It's fine for now, but as mentioned above, in mid-winter you might need to layer it with more hydrating products. Recommended for combination dehydrated or oily skin types, not recommended for use alone on dry skin.
TipWhen applied thickly at night, it prevents dryness while sleeping and leaves the skin smooth in the morning!
