It's a vegan product using label-free and recyclable packaging, which is environmentally friendly. The main ingredient is butterfly pea flower extract, known for its antioxidant properties, giving the product a blue tint. The texture is firm and elastic with good absorption, but it tends to dry out over time. To prevent dryness, it's best to layer another moisturizer on top. It works well as a light morning cream or mixed with essences or serums. I've used it for over a week without any irritation or blemishes.
ConsThe strong shea butter scent might not appeal to those who dislike buttery fragrances. As time passes after application, there's a feeling of increasing dryness. It doesn't seem to address deep dryness within the skin.

The cooling sensation from the cream color! I loved that the container is lightweight and the cream color is my favorite shade of blue. 2. Smooth application! As it appears, it's a slightly heavier cream, so I only applied it before bed. However, it's not sticky or slow to absorb, and it spreads smoothly.
Cons3. As the product name suggests, it focuses more on firmness than hydration! It seems to be truly focused on skin elasticity. As someone with dry skin, I found it didn't resolve my deep dryness. The surface feels firm though. 4. Shea butter! My skin doesn't react well to shea butter, so I gave it to my father who is very satisfied with it. An unexpected way to be a good child.

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~

From the moment I saw the packaging, I was impressed by its clean design and pretty color. The scent is like butter? It's personally to my liking! I loved how the soft, sweet fragrance lingered on my face. After applying and letting it absorb, my skin feels incredibly soft and the cream absorbs quickly. The surface of my skin truly becomes velvety smooth.
ConsUnlike other moisturizers, this one feels drying. It's as if the hydration only stays on the surface? I'm particularly prone to deep dryness, so maybe that's why, but I feel a lot of tightness around my eyes and cheeks. Because of this, it's not great to use before makeup, and it doesn't seem suitable for nighttime use either. I'm not sure when to use it... It might be better suited for those with oily skin. I think you'd need to completely address deep dryness with essences and such before using this.

However, there's a noticeable shea butter scent, likely due to its high placement in the ingredient list. The scent is strong when first opening the jar, but becomes undetectable once applied.
Cons- Ingredients: Despite claims of good ingredients, it contains a lot of alcohol. While this allows for light application and quick absorption, it leaves my skin feeling dry. Even with a proper skincare routine, my skin feels tight quickly... For those with very dry skin, this might be too light even as a night cream in current weather conditions - you may need to layer another cream on top. - I noticed some blemishes appearing... However, since dry skin and imbalanced oil/moisture levels can cause breakouts, and I've only used this cream since receiving it, I suspect it's not effectively balancing my skin's oil and moisture levels.
Tip- I really appreciate that this product is cruelty-free and comes in eco-friendly packaging. - No spatula is included. Be prepared to use your own or apply directly with clean hands.

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.ProsFirst off, I was impressed with the overall feel and aesthetic when it arrived! The packaging was carefully done, giving a sense of the developer's dedication. It felt like receiving a gift! Now, I've tried various snail creams and other moisturizers, but never found one that felt just right for me. However, this one seemed to address about 70% of my dryness issues. I think it's a great product for winter use. Personally, I liked the scent - it's a good, subtle powder fragrance that's not artificial and seems long-lasting. Those who prefer unscented products might find it a bit strong though. The texture is more rich than light, so when you apply it, you feel like it's deeply hydrating rather than just sitting on the surface.
ConsThe downside is that it's not 100% suitable for very dry skin, which is disappointing. After applying this cream and starting makeup, I felt some deep dryness. While it's good that it's not too oily, I wish it could completely eliminate that inner dryness feeling. Maybe it's because my skin is extremely dry, but I still experienced some tightness underneath.

I typically avoid heavy formulas, but this cream surprised me. Despite its appearance, it's not sticky at all. The texture is pleasantly light, and once applied, it feels like it creates a smooth layer on the face, giving an overall matte finish. It's not too rich either. When I applied foundation over it and went out, people commented that my skin looked particularly good that day. (However, there's a downside I'll mention later.) It's more rich than a hydrating cream but definitely lighter than most night creams. Normally, my face gets shiny as the day progresses, but with this cream and foundation, my skin stayed matte all day without any oiliness. I actually felt it was a bit dry, but when my friends touched my skin, they said it didn't feel dry at all. Application and Absorption At first, I wondered if it would spread easily, but when I patted it in with my fingers, it absorbed well into my skin. It doesn't give that intense moisture surge like some hydrating creams, but you can feel the cream penetrating your skin with a firm, plumping effect. Right after application, you might think it feels a bit rich, but it absorbs quickly which is great. I found that applying it after using hydrating skincare products gave me even better results than using it alone. Functionality I appreciated that this cream has anti-wrinkle properties. Since I found it slightly drying for my face, I applied it generously on my neck. It absorbs well without stickiness, living up to its name as a firming cream. Packaging I really appreciate the eco-friendly packaging and recyclable container. Personally, I'm a big fan of these kinds of changes.
ConsDryness While I was satisfied with most aspects, I noticed that even after applying it generously at night, my skin felt dry the next morning. When I reapplied in the morning and put on cushion foundation, I could feel dryness rising from within... I usually don't experience much dryness, so I'm not sure if it's due to the sudden weather changes or if the product just doesn't suit me. Although it looked matte, my skin felt dry all day. I thought I might have used too little, so I tried applying more, but the result was the same... My skin feels subtly tight. This might work well for those with oily or combination skin, but people with deep dryness or combination dehydrated skin might find it drying. Fragrance I prefer unscented products these days, but this cream has a fragrance. It's sweet and fresh, which might not be to everyone's taste. My first thought was... does it contain artificial fragrances? But upon checking, it doesn't. It was unfamiliar at first, but I got used to it. Since I had to apply more due to the dryness, the scent became more noticeable.

I wanted to record my initial impressions, so here they are. I'll add more thoughts tomorrow as I continue using it. I wanted to experience the effects of this product on its own, so I applied it without any other skincare, and I was truly amazed... One advantage is that even though I accidentally applied too much, it absorbed fairly quickly without any massaging. That's about all the positives I can say when using it alone... I'll leave a more detailed review tomorrow after applying it over my regular skincare routine. After trying it over my usual routine (not alone), I have to say it's really great! After letting my regular skincare absorb completely (this is important), I apply this cream before bed. When I wake up the next morning, my skin feels so smooth! I don't usually repurchase products I review, but I might consider buying this one after I finish the sample. It didn't cause any blemishes either. I'm very satisfied and would recommend it, but definitely don't use it on its own.
Cons1. The scent I usually like most fragrances, but this one might be quite polarizing. When I first applied it, I thought 'Ugh! The scent is a bit strong.' But after a while, my face started feeling tight. From that moment on, the tightness made me uncomfortable, and the fragrance started to feel overwhelming... Since this product alone makes my face feel tight, I'll need to layer it with other products, which might make the mix of scents even more dizzying. 2. Absolutely not suitable for use on its own It felt fine when I first applied it, but once it absorbed, my skin felt so tight that I thought it might have been better if I hadn't applied anything at all... I looked in the mirror, thinking it couldn't be that bad, but I saw fine lines around my nose and cheeks... That's when I realized this product should not be used alone. So I applied my usual cream on top, which made it a bit better...
TipIt works well when applied over fully absorbed skincare products.

It absorbs well, unlike typical firming creams. What's great is that it doesn't leave a greasy or sticky feeling after absorption, making it perfect for nighttime use. I deliberately skipped the emulsion and just used toner, essence, and this cream. Even though I applied much more than my usual moisturizer, its absorption and feel after application were excellent - no stickiness at all. It truly lives up to its name of being 'bouncy' as claimed!
ConsSometimes after use, there's an inexplicable tightness. I'm not sure if it's due to dryness or the changing seasons. I have combination dehydrated skin, and especially when I apply this during the day followed by sunscreen, I feel a tightness all day long. I wish it gave more of a firming effect. For those with dry skin, I'd recommend adding an oil-based cream or facial oil for better results. It was fine in the evenings when I didn't use sunscreen. Also, the scent is... not quite buttery, but somewhat rich. The fragrance is a bit ambiguous. I think it would be better without added fragrance. On another note, there seems to be an issue with the filling - after using it for a while, I noticed an empty space as shown in the photo. I tried tapping it, but it didn't seem to fill in.
TipThis product absorbs well and isn't sticky even when applied generously, so it would be great to use it like a sleeping pack at night. I've only been using it for about a week, so I can't speak to its firming effects yet.
