The texture is moisturizing yet absorbs well, applying smoothly without feeling sticky. It's surprisingly light and refreshing, with a subtle cooling effect. The jade color complements the packaging design nicely. After application, it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or oily like some other creams do. While the surface doesn't feel overly moist to the touch, it seems to deeply hydrate my skin. I appreciate that it doesn't leave a slippery residue. The 50ml size is convenient for quick use!
ConsThere's some pilling after application, possibly due to its quick absorption. Being sensitive-skinned, I noticed a slight tingling sensation - perhaps from the soothing ingredients? The fragrance reminds me of something familiar, similar to orange - a bit zesty? It's not really my preferred scent. Fortunately, the smell fades quickly, though a faint trace lingers.
TipTry applying multiple thin layers as an overnight mask. When your skin feels flushed, keep it in the fridge and apply it cool for an extra soothing effect.

I have combination dehydrated skin - oily in the T-zone and dry on the cheeks. What I liked was the refreshing scent. It feels cool and soothing, especially after a shower when my skin tends to feel hot. The best part is that when I apply it to dry areas before bed, I wake up with my skin still feeling hydrated, without any sensation of dryness.
ConsThe downside is that despite its texture, the product feels a bit heavy and tends to pill slightly when applied. This makes it unsuitable for morning use. I find it's best to apply a thin layer before bedtime. Also, it absorbs more slowly than expected, so I'd recommend using smaller amounts than you might initially think.
TipHere's my personal tip: I keep it in the refrigerator and after finishing my skincare routine, I gently pat small amounts onto dry areas. It works wonders this way!

My skin type: Oily T-zone, some acne scars on cheeks, prone to breakouts and large blemishes on 'that time of the month' or when I sleep with makeup on, blackheads on nose and chin. Texture: It's a cream but with a powdery feel? Like a soft milkshake texture! I really liked it! Finish: Unlike other creams that leave an oily residue and cause breakouts, this product leaves a powdery feel and doesn't feel greasy at all, which I loved! My mom used it too and she also liked this aspect! Also, this might vary by user, but I found it felt lightweight. Acne and blemishes: Usually, products that clog pores or are too oily cause me to develop pus-filled spots. However, this product didn't cause any acne or blemishes! (Those with sensitive skin should patch test before use!) Skin texture: I started using it towards the end of my cycle, so that might be a factor (my skin gets dry about 3-4 days before my period starts), but after using this, my skin felt soft and my complexion seemed more even! (This is my personal experience, may vary by user.) Other points: It's vegan and comes with a spatula! Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 stars I loved the finish, how it evened my skin tone, and its soothing effect. I'll probably repurchase it after finishing this jar! I've been a moisturizer nomad recently, not sticking to any product, but I quite liked this one so I'll be using it for a while.
ConsThere's no dedicated space to store the spatula, which is a shame. When applied before makeup, it tends to pill like dead skin cells! I thought it might be my skin condition, so I tried makeup without it the next day and didn't have that issue. I recommend applying a very thin layer before makeup or using it only in the evening. Scent: It has a somewhat lime or lemon scent, but it feels artificial and is quite strong, which I didn't like! However, my mom liked the scent! Those sensitive to fragrances should take note.
TipI think it would have a soothing effect if stored in the refrigerator and used cold! It might be great for summer use too!

There are so many skincare products I want to try, but I can't use them carelessly. This time, I tried it as one of The Hwahae Testers, and the conclusion is that it worked well for me without causing any blemishes or other issues! Maybe it's because it's vegan, which made me trust it even more. For someone with skin like mine, not causing itching or blemishes is already a pass! The way it absorbs is smooth and nice! When I first applied it, it spread so smoothly that I thought it was a cream full of oil and wouldn't suit me. But it wasn't oily at all - it was actually an incredibly soft sorbet-like texture! I've never experienced a cream texture like this before, so it was fascinating. Above all, it absorbs quickly and is hydrating. And the scent! Personally, I don't like products with strong fragrances, but the fresh fruity scent wasn't bad at all! Those with dry skin might feel a bit of deep dryness. If you apply it too thickly, it tends to pill, so it might help to apply it thinly multiple times.
ConsDepending on my skin condition, I like to layer it thinly twice, or apply it thinly once and then thickly like a sleeping pack the second time. But when I apply it the second time, it pills slightly! So I only use it in the evening to avoid makeup pilling in the morning! Otherwise, it might be good to apply it thinly, let it absorb fully, and then reapply.
TipIf you feel it's a bit dry after one application, apply it thinly, let it absorb fully, and then reapply several times! (Don't apply too much at once)

I've noticed a significant reduction in blemishes compared to before. The sorbet-like texture and refreshing scent provide a pleasant cooling effect. It's the perfect cream to apply before bedtime.
ConsDue to its unique texture, the cream can occasionally pill and roll off like dead skin cells. For this reason, I'd recommend using it at night rather than in the morning. When I did use it in the morning, I found it necessary to layer a heavier cream on top.

It has such a refreshing scent when you apply it. Even though it's autumn now, I can imagine how much more delightful it would have been to use this product in summer. Blemishes: I have extremely dry and super sensitive skin. I'm usually wary of trying new products as my skin quickly becomes itchy and red. However, this product contains Centella Asiatica extract, so I decided to give it a try. There was a slight reaction on my forehead on the first day, but now, after four days, I have no blemishes at all. Hydration: As the weather is getting drier, my skin tends to feel tight quickly, requiring frequent moisturizing. It's frustrating not being able to reapply over sunscreen. My routine was hyaluronic acid toner -> hyaluronic essence -> ceramide cream. Now, I use this product after the essence and finish with the ceramide cream, and the moisturizing effect lasts much longer!
ConsThe downside is... you need to be careful when absorbing it. If you rub it in using the heat from your hands, it tends to pill. However, if you gently pat it onto your face and let it absorb, it's fine. Also, personally, I'm not a fan of products that come with a spatula. Spatulas can easily get contaminated, and once you open the container, a large surface area is exposed to air, which can cause the product to deteriorate. The packaging was a bit disappointing for me.
TipApply a thin layer to your face and wait for it to absorb!

It's a pleasure to have them on my vanity, and this one has gorgeous packaging that lifts my mood when I use it. Even the beautiful color of the cream itself deserves praise! Rapid absorption At first glance, you might think it has a slush-like texture due to visible particles, but when you touch it, it's a smooth, fluid cream that spreads easily like an emulsion and absorbs quickly. No irritation, no fragrance When trying new skincare products for the first time, I often experience redness, itching, or stinging - even with supposedly gentle formulas. However, the Glow Up Cream was truly non-irritating and gentle on my skin.
ConsToo light for dry skin I hoped it would address my deep dryness, but even after applying toner and emulsion, it feels very lightweight. I needed to layer a richer cream on top. <This cream is more suitable for oily or combination skin types.> Pills like dead skin When I try to add another layer for extra hydration, it pills and creates flakes that look like dead skin. This happened even after exfoliating, so it seems to be a characteristic of the formula. <This won't be an issue for those who find one layer provides sufficient moisture.>
TipWhile it's not a perfect match for me, I'm grateful to Hwahae and To Be Gan for the opportunity to try it. I used it consistently morning and evening after cleansing throughout the trial period. With its fluid texture and quick absorption, I think it could work well as an emulsion-like step for those with super dry skin like mine.
