It applies smoothly, and while it initially feels heavy and suffocating, it quickly absorbs leaving a soft, matte finish. I'm not sure about its firming effects, but I didn't experience any major blemishes while using it.
ConsThe strong fragrance when applying it to the face can be irritating to the nose.
TipControlling the amount is essential

While it initially feels a bit heavy, it absorbs well and doesn't leave a sticky residue. I love how it leaves my skin feeling soft and matte. The packaging design is clean and sleek, and it's not as heavy as other cream products, which I appreciate. The amount you get for the price is generous, making it a satisfying purchase overall.
ConsThe biggest drawback is the fragrance. It has a cozy scent that would be fine for a body emulsion, but it's too strong for a face cream. Though it's described as a rich cream, it absorbs quickly and feels more like a regular emulsion. The hydration level isn't sufficient for harsh winter weather, so it might not be suitable for those with super sensitive skin or deep dryness.

I appreciate the eco-friendly packaging. It might seem minor, but attention to these details makes me feel good when I receive the product. The package design is also pretty, making it a pleasant addition to my vanity. 2. Surprisingly, while it feels a bit rich when first applied, it becomes pleasantly matte after patting it in. It's not drying, just perfectly matte - it's really amazing! Overall, the hydration isn't exceptional, so it might be too dry for those with dry skin. I think it would work well for people with oily skin types.
Cons1. The scent might be polarizing. Personally, I'm not a fan. 2. As someone used to tube-type products, I found the pot packaging inconvenient. It's also harder to maintain hygiene. 3. It seems to take a while to absorb, and the texture isn't particularly smooth. Rather than spreading it, it's better to pat it in like sunscreen.
TipAfter applying and patting in my usual toner twice, I use a small amount of this cream. It helps with deep dryness while preventing my face from feeling tight or oily when I wake up in the morning. It's just perfect!

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.ProsAbsorption: As I have combination dehydrated skin, I applied small amounts of the cream, except on my T-zone. Using small amounts left a pleasantly matte finish. The absorption itself wasn't bad, and most importantly, it didn't cause my sunscreen to pill, which I loved. Moisturizing: Perhaps due to the shea butter, the moisturizing power wasn't bad at all. I didn't use enough for it to feel super hydrating, as I applied small amounts, but there was absolutely no dryness. Blemishes: I tend to get blemishes easily even with slightly oily products, but I didn't get a single one after using this for over a week. Scent: While I don't usually prefer the scent of shea butter, this cream wasn't overpowering. It has a sweet and nutty fragrance that suits winter well. I liked that the scent lingered subtly for a long time.
ConsApplication: It's a bit thick, so it was slightly challenging to control the amount when applying to larger areas like the cheeks. Packaging: It's not in a tube and doesn't come with a spatula, so it might be difficult to use hygienically.
TipIt's great to apply this before your toner or serum is fully absorbed, as the remaining moisture helps compensate for the thick texture.

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.Pros1) The finish is matte, yet it doesn't compromise on hydration - that's this product's strong suit. Usually, quick-absorbing or matte-finish products tend to feel less moisturizing, but that wasn't the case here. 2) I have oily skin that gets dehydrated easily, so I always apply extra product around my nose and its sides. With this cream, there was no pilling when I layered it. 3) What I appreciated most was that even when my skin was in poor condition due to allergies (when everything usually causes itching), this didn't irritate my skin much upon application. 4) Lastly, the packaging was eco-friendly. Instead of having a sticker on the product, the information was printed on the lid, which made me feel it was an environmentally conscious product. I really loved this aspect.
Cons1) There are two ingredients that might not be ideal for acne-prone skin, which is a concern. While I didn't experience any pustules, those with sensitive skin might need to be cautious. 2) Also, for those with oily skin, this might work well in winter, but it could be a bit heavy for spring and summer use.
TipI have quite pronounced neck wrinkles, so I applied a bit there, and it seems to work surprisingly well on neck wrinkles too!

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.ProsThe Hwahae Testers' Review 1. Quick absorption & Matte finish The rich texture adheres to the skin, leaving it feeling powdery. It absorbs well, even with multiple applications. Despite having extremely oily, dehydrated skin, I'm satisfied using it. The matte finish seems particularly suitable for oily skin types. No issues when applied before makeup. 2. Deep hydration & Elasticity While it doesn't feel intensely moisturizing even with multiple applications, it seems to focus on deep hydration and elasticity. (The surface doesn't feel noticeably moisturized, but there's a firm, bouncy feeling underneath) 3. Eco-friendly, Gentle formula Appreciate the environmentally conscious packaging. Passed low-irritation tests. Didn't cause any acne breakouts.
Cons1. Fragrance I have asthma and my respiratory system is particularly sensitive to scents. The fragrance is strong, so I deducted one point for that. Despite the intensity, it didn't cause any respiratory reactions like swelling or itching. 2. Value for money No dramatic effects. Wouldn't purchase at the full price of 28,000 won (would consider repurchasing in the low to mid 10,000 won range). Many affordable products offer good elasticity and hydration, so I'm not sure it's worth the extra cost. 3. Limited efficacy, Caution for oily skin No clinical trials for improving elasticity (apart from anti-wrinkle functionality). No blemishes so far, but oily skin types should be cautious due to two ingredients that may clog pores. 4. Packaging No spatula included. Dislike the jar packaging as it can accumulate dust and debris over time. Also inconvenient for those with long gel nails, as cream can get stuck under and between nails. Dislike the jar lid design as well. If many Hwahae Testers who received this product for free have similar concerns, paying customers are likely to be even more dissatisfied. Hope to see quick improvements in these areas.
TipSince it doesn't feel particularly moisturizing, it's better to thoroughly hydrate with other skincare products before applying this cream. Even for oily skin types, finishing with this cream after other products leaves skin feeling pleasantly matte.

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.

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.

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.Pros1. Packaging: The package is pretty! Looking at the sky-blue cream just puts me in a good mood when applying. 2. Scent: Personally, I prefer fragrance-free cosmetics, but this one does have a scent. However, it's not overpowering or bothersome. 3. Texture: Despite being labeled as a firming cream, I expected it to be oily and heavy. Surprisingly, it's very elastic and actually seems to reduce oiliness, leaving a soft, matte finish. I have combination dehydrated skin, and it didn't cause any oil overload or blemishes. In fact, those with dry skin might even find it a bit drying. 4. Ingredients: I'm pleased to see that there don't seem to be any harmful ingredients. While it's marked as potentially unsuitable for oily skin, I didn't experience any issues when using it. 5. Firming effect: Naturally, I can't tell if it's helping with firmness after just a few days of use. However, the elastic texture does give a temporary tightening sensation when applied. It's likely better than using nothing at all, right? Overall, I'm satisfied. If I notice even a slight improvement in skin firmness after continued use, I'll probably repurchase it.
ConsThere wasn't really anything disappointing for me, but if I had to pick something, it would be that it comes in a jar format.
