Irritating

Causes Allergic Reactions

Causes Breakouts

Disrupts Oil-Moisture Balance

Not Effective for Pore Care

Has Particles

Lightweight

Easy to Apply

Not Sticky

Easily Absorbed

Pleasant Scent

Moisturizing

It's too irritating and the effects are minimal. I bought it after seeing an Instagram ad, but I was foolish... I keep making the same mistake over and over.

Application: It contains small particles, but they melt smoothly, making it easy to apply. However, after application, blemishes started popping up like crazy. I might have sensitive skin, but it made me regret my purchase.

Absorption: It absorbs well and dries quickly. However, it didn't suit my dry skin. As a bonus, I got a tingling sensation.

Moisturizing: Well... there's no moisturizing effect. Not recommended for those with dry skin. Also not recommended for those with super sensitive skin. It will make your skin react badly.

시카비타 캐비어 크림

Build a solid foundation! Always pat the product in until it's fully absorbed before moving on to the next step in your routine. For an extra boost, try applying a bit more before bed and leaving it on overnight. Your skin will thank you!

If I had to point out a downside, it would be the price. It's quite expensive, especially considering the effects I've seen so far. Since I haven't used it for long, I haven't noticed any dramatic results yet. Also, due to its light hydration, it might not be suitable for those with dry or combination skin types during winter skincare routines.

Packaging: The tube design is hygienic and clean-looking. I love the sleek green tube with yellow lettering - it's totally my style and looks so chic!

Hydration: While the moisturizing power might be a tad light for some, it's perfect for my combination dehydrated skin in autumn. It provides just the right amount of hydration I was looking for. However, it might not be enough for winter use.

Texture: The cream glides on smoothly without any stickiness. It starts as a rich cream but transforms into a refreshing, lightweight moisturizer when applied. There are tiny beads in the cream that seem to absorb as you massage it in. The scent is a subtle blend of cica and vitamin notes, which I absolutely adore!

Effects: I haven't noticed any significant brightening or soothing effects from the cica ingredients yet. It might require longer use to see results, and the Hwahae Testers period was quite short to observe major changes. However, as someone with super sensitive skin that usually reacts to new products with blemishes, I'm happy to report no irritation even after this brief trial! The ingredients seem to be quite gentle.

The scent is pleasantly subtle, and although it contains small particles, they dissolve nicely as you apply the product.

The moisturizing effect doesn't last as long as expected, and my skin feels dry again quite quickly. (It might be a bit light for those with dry skin during winter.)

Absorbs well into the skin. The application is smooth and it feels moisturizing. It doesn't feel heavy, so it would be great to use before makeup or during the day.

I had hoped for some blemish-calming effects since it contains Cica, but I didn't notice any... That's really the only downside I can think of!

This product really delivers on its promise of hydration! I have oily skin but suffered from deep dryness, which caused my makeup to look patchy due to excess sebum and dead skin cells. Since using this, I've noticed a significant reduction in flakiness, and my makeup applies so much better now. After living without a moisturizer, I can't believe how much less dry my skin feels. The absorption is great, and it doesn't leave that heavy, rich feeling typical of some moisturizers. It's a game-changer! (Sorry I couldn't include a skin photo due to my busy schedule, so I've only attached a product picture.)

I always finish my cream application with a mist! It seems to help with absorption and really boosts the effectiveness of the product.

While it seemed to brighten my eyes and cheeks, when I applied it to my chin area hoping to reduce blemishes, I ended up with breakouts.

I heard this cream was great for hydration, so I thought it would be perfect for dry skin. But after applying, it leaves a clean finish! I've been using it for two weeks, and while it might be too soon to claim dramatic brightening effects, I do notice my eye area looks more radiant the morning after application!

It should be fine to apply both morning and evening
Since it doesn't feel particularly sticky or heavy, you might see brightening effects with prolonged use

- Hydration doesn't seem to last long
Moisture didn't last until morning

- While it seems to have a brightening effect due to its freshness, the review period was too short to confirm properly

Skin type: Dry skin with no blemishes and a clear complexion
I prefer products that provide good hydration due to slight redness

Current skin condition: With the change of seasons, redness starts to appear in the morning and evening

Texture: Cream type, not thick or oily
Absorbs very well, applies smoothly and gently

- Light and fresh feeling with minimal stickiness

- Slight calming effect on redness

- Pleasant, mild herbal scent that's not overpowering

*Scent*
The scent is really... I noticed fragrance in the ingredients list, could it be because of that..? The cosmetic scent is too strong. It might be because I've been using mostly unscented skincare products, but after applying the cream, there's an artificial(?) cosmetic scent that lingers for a while. I think they could remove the fragrance.. If it weren't for the scent, I would have given it 5 stars, but I'm deducting one star because of it.
*Light application*
This could be an advantage, but I think it might be difficult for those with dry skin to use in winter! Still, I think it's a cream that's good to use all year round.

*Texture*
The cream contains small green particles! It's a formula where these particles burst as you apply it.
*Application*
It applies quite lightly, not too heavy. It has a somewhat refreshing feel? After application, there's no stickiness, and I think it's a moderately hydrating yet lightweight cream!
*Soothing effect*
I didn't notice much soothing effect.. While I felt it was light and hydrating, I didn't really feel like my skin improved after applying it.. Perhaps if I had used it for a longer period, I might have noticed some soothing effects, but during the two weeks of use, I'd say it's just a decent, lightweight cream..?
*Finish*
It seems to be a very fresh and lightweight cream! I really liked that there was no stickiness.

Although I didn't discover any amazing tips in the short term, since it's such a lightweight cream, I found it works well when applied in thin layers multiple times. I applied it about three times, letting it absorb each time, and it went on smoothly without feeling greasy, leaving my skin moisturized and soft.

I noticed it contains some pore-clogging ingredients. For a combination-oily skinned person who relies on Hwahae, this is definitely a stumbling block. Since most of my blemishes come from clogged pores... This is why I deducted one star. Sorry!

I'm not sure about the cica and brightening effects. I applied it thickly on the blemishes caused by wearing masks and observed the reaction, but it didn't have as much effect as other cica creams. I didn't notice any significant brightening either. However, I think there might be some effects if used consistently over a longer period, as with all cosmetics.

As mentioned in other reviews, I also experienced a slight burning or tingling sensation. It wasn't terribly unpleasant, but there was a slightly irritating tingling on my cheeks that disappeared over time. (It felt similar to the tingling I often get with Kiehl's moisturizer)

Wow... the amount is small but the price is quite steep. I guess it's because caviar is expensive. If the product was really that good, I might consider buying it despite the price...

Skin type: Combination (oily T-zone/normal U-zone) with dehydration
                Enlarged pores, recent mask-related blemishes around nose and chin

Current moisturizer: Primera Water Cream

❤ The texture and application are truly excellent. It's a translucent cream that feels light and not heavy at all. The caviar capsules spread without any irritation.
❤ Absorbs well. My skin usually has trouble absorbing creams and they tend to sit on top, but this product sinks in nicely. It didn't feel like it was just sitting on the surface.
❤ As advertised, it seems suitable for oily skin types. My skin is very honest about being combination-oily, and it tends to reject creams not meant for oily skin in the T-zone. This cream exceeded my expectations. There was no oil explosion right after application or upon waking up, and no dryness either.

1. It absorbs really well.
2. Apply a thick layer before bed.
3. After just 3 days of use, someone commented on how good my skin looked.
4. Personally, I noticed a significant improvement in the faint sun spots around my eyes that appeared after moving to a new house. (I regret not taking before photos!)
5. Since it's just the cream, I first dabbed it on areas with sun spots and blemishes, let it absorb, then spread it evenly over my face.
6. To be honest, I'm usually a critical skincare reviewer, often focusing more on the negatives than the positives.
But this product really worked well for me and I loved it.
I imagine the results would be even better with the complete set!

1. It's not part of a set... The full benefits are probably in the complete caviar cream set.
2. The quantity is a bit small. (Maybe that's why they gave us two?)

1. It brightens the skin effectively.
2. It's not sticky at all.
3. If you apply a generous amount in the evening, you'll notice a brighter complexion in the morning.

One downside I noticed was when I applied the cream after exfoliating - it caused a slight tingling sensation.

Also, the ingredient list includes fragrance, which is considered less than ideal. It might have been better as a fragrance-free product.

Lastly, the price... I'll probably only purchase it when it's on sale.

The Hwahae Testers' Review

First off, since this cream is for brightening and anti-aging, you'll likely need to use it consistently to see results.

After about a week of use, I'm not sure if it was just my imagination, but I did feel like my skin looked a bit brighter. The cream has a nice texture that's neither too runny nor too thick, making it easy to apply without feeling heavy.

I was a bit concerned about the scent since it contains sea grapes, but even with my sensitive nose, the fragrance was quite pleasant!

My skin is extremely sensitive, but I didn't experience any blemishes or allergic reactions while using this. Looking at the ingredients list, aside from the fragrance, there weren't any harmful components.

Usually, I'm hesitant to use brightening and anti-aging products due to their harsh ingredients, but this cream's gentle formulation made it suitable even for my super sensitive skin!

Using this cream along with a hydrating moisturizer helps combat deep dryness effectively!

The particles in the product don't dissolve easily. I'm not sure if it's just me, but it's more annoying to dissolve than I expected. While it does provide some hydration, it doesn't seem to fully quench my skin's thirst. Sometimes it even leaves a slightly oily feeling.

My skin is super sensitive, and due to studying late for exams, I developed a lot of blemishes. No matter how much I tried to calm my skin, nothing worked. But when I applied this cica cream, I saw a noticeable improvement in my skin's condition! Perhaps it's because of the high cica content, but my blemishes seemed to settle down a bit. The formula isn't heavy, so it absorbs well into the skin.
