It applies smoothly and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth without any stickiness. I think it would be great for those with dry or dehydrated skin. Even when I just used this product alone, my skin didn't feel dry or uncomfortable.
ConsThis is a decent product in terms of its ingredients and price point.

If you use it consistently, your skin tone seems to become more even.
ConsEven though it has oil, the moisture doesn't last long, so you can feel a tightness after some time.
TipIt seems like it would be good to use together with a hydrating essence.

It's much more fluid than expected, absorbing like water. ● There is a bit too much oil content, so you'll need to use it sparingly. However, it's not an overly greasy, oily product! It's a somewhat dense, moisturizing product.
Cons● If not for the scent, this would have been a 5-star product, but the scent makes it a 2-star for me. The sole downside is that the scent is so unbearably horrible that I can't bear to use it and had to throw it away. I bought this from the Huxley website when it was near its expiration date, and when I first used it, it spurted out like a water gun! And the scent is just so overwhelmingly pungent that I immediately thought it had gone bad or spoiled. But since it's a fermented product and still has a few months left on the expiration, I tried using it little by little, and it seems fine. However, there are reviews saying the scent is good, which is just baffling to me... Is this a matter of personal preference? The stench is just so overpowering, I even tried sniffing it directly to see if it had gone bad, and it made me want to retch... I'm not exaggerating. I generally don't like artificial fragrances and prefer natural scents, and most products with polarizing scents have been fine for me. But this is just on another level, and I simply couldn't use it despite trying to get used to it. I had to throw it away.

At that time, double-layering it would have been perfect Currently (my cheeks are extremely dry), during the day I apply it twice and add a drop of jojoba oil - this makes my makeup apply beautifully. I'm on my second purchase... I can't do without it now.
ConsMany people have mentioned the scent, but I don't mind it? My skin is improving, and there's a lingering fragrance like perfume, but I'm also sensitive... It's not an artificial scent. If you keep smelling it, it's like lemongrass - probably because I've used natural cosmetics for a long time, so artificial scents don't bother me. The lack of lingering scent is not an issue for me. There's hardly any downside. It's functional, doesn't cause breakouts, is moisturizing, and works well with makeup - it's a 100/100 product.
TipMy personal tip would be: For oily skin, a light toner + serum once is sufficient For combination skin, a light toner + serum twice For dry skin, a hydrating toner + serum twice + a drop of oil on the T-zone can give a glowing, makeup-ready complexion.

Cons- I bought this based on a recommendation, but it doesn't seem to suit my skin, which is really upsetting. I'm not sure which ingredient doesn't agree with me, but my skin has become red, irritated, and my whole face is a mess 😢 I've only used it a few times, but it's turned out this way, which is really puzzling. This was the only new product I've tried. For now, I'm going to stop using this product. I really hope those with sensitive skin will be very careful. I have a lot of product left, and I'm not sure what to do with it 😥

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. Moisture Balance This product has better moisture balance than most lotions. Based on my personal experience, the perfect ratio of moisture to oil is around 7:3, which is sufficient for finishing in the summer, and only requires adding one cream in the winter. 2. Spreadability The application experience is the core identity of this product. It spreads very smoothly and absorbs well, so one pump is enough to cover the entire face. Since the usage amount is not high, it can be used for a long time, making it economical. 3. Usable to the End Among non-airless containers with pumps, this is the first time I've experienced one that comes out cleanly until the very end. Of course, it can't be as perfectly clean as an airless container, but with its fluid formula, by tilting the container and using the pump, you can draw it out cleanly until the end. 4. Vegan Certification This is a personal preference criterion for me.
Cons1. Adaptation Period Needed Although I generally don't react well to cosmetics, there were times when my face would flush when using the first bottle. While it's not accurate to say I don't suit fermented products, this product seemed to require a bit of an adaptation period. 2. Price The regular price of 43,000 won for 30ml can be burdensome for the initial purchase. Since it seems difficult to get samples, there may be a high entry barrier.
Tip- I consider this a cost-effective cosmetic. It has good moisture balance, covers functionality, and the usage amount is not high, so the initial purchase may be burdensome, but the satisfaction level during use is high. It's often on sale with significant discounts on the official website or at Olive Young, so it's worth considering. - If you have sensitive skin that often reacts to cosmetics, you'll need to think it through carefully. Sometimes, when my condition is poor, I can feel a stinging sensation.

It has a light, watery texture, but applies well to maintain a good balance of moisture and oil. The application is smooth and comfortable.
ConsThe scent... the scent... But would you use this scent if asked? It's tolerable, but not something I'd particularly recommend. My skin doesn't respond well to fermented ingredients, so after using it, the reddened areas become slightly flushed, but it subsides quickly. I'm still testing it out.
TipA single pump spreads thinly all the way down to your neck, so start with a small amount.

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 'Hubloom Kombucha Plant Biome Serum' is a serum that has the moisturizing properties of a cream and the absorption of a serum. It contains ultra-low molecular weight moisturizing ingredients that are 200 times smaller than pores, allowing for fast absorption and deep hydration. It has great spreadability and absorption, making it a great recommendation for those with dry skin. The milky, lotion-like texture means that those who have used an essence and lotion combination can now use this serum alone. The serum is incredibly moisturizing, and the herbal citrus scent is absolutely lovely. If you're looking for a great serum to use in the fall, I highly recommend this one.
ConsThe price point is a bit high, so repurchasing may be difficult.
