I'm in my 20s and want to maintain skin elasticity affordably and lightly.
Or, if you're tired of always using expensive products and find them burdensome,
Are you looking for an elasticity serum that's easy to use without hesitation? >> Recommended
If you want definite results regardless of price >> Not recommended

It paired well with Jandacell Botox-like, but...
It seems Botox-like has been discontinued. 
I'd recommend this elasticity essence for those in their 20s to early 30s who want something easy to use.
Those older might find it less satisfying.
Also, people with very sensitive skin might not be able to use it due to the fragrance.
I don't use it on days when my skin is extremely sensitive.

Oh, I haven't written a review for this yet! 
You can buy 50ml for around 20,000 to 29,000 won at duty-free shops.
Online prices seem to vary quite a bit depending on promotions.
I use one pump for the first layer, then two pumps for a second layer.
It has a slight gel-like texture, so it doesn't run easily.
If I had to choose, I'd say it's more watery than oily.
The hydration isn't intense, just average.
Considering the price, I saw improvements in skin elasticity.
I noticed a slight pore-tightening effect.
For some reason, I kept reaching for it and finished a whole bottle. My nose area pores seemed to shrink a bit, and I just found myself using it often. I think it might have a slight effect on elasticity.

I initially bought it at duty-free for just over 20,000 won without any expectations, just because I love cosmetics. Even though the effects are small, I think to myself, 'Well, isn't a little effect better than nothing?' It seems to slightly improve elasticity.
It's good for everyday use!

Apply lightly in 2-3 layers for best results.

The packaging design is a bit disappointing. While the plastic feel makes it lightweight, which is a plus, the color design feels somewhat outdated. It gives off a 'mom's cosmetics' vibe? It's not a design that would appeal to younger people, which is unfortunate. There's a slight artificial scent, probably due to added fragrances. Personally, I'm not a fan of the scent either, so the fragrance feels unnecessary. However, it's not overpowering. Being a functional product, it lacks hydration more than I expected. Maybe it's because it's been unusually dry lately, but this product plus a cream wasn't quite enough for me.

The absorbs well is great. It has a slightly runny texture, but it absorbs well when applied thinly. It's a decent product and didn't cause any blemishes when I used it. Even with my super sensitive skin, there was no tingling or irritation. I appreciate that it's a safe, reliable option.

Since it's a product that's non-greasy and good for firming and lifting, I found it works really well when applied generously and followed up with a gua sha massage!

Everything was really great except for the fragrance. Other people seemed to have the same issue with the scent. I don't exclusively prefer unscented products, but I think it would have been better if the fragrance was just a bit more subtle!

My first impression was that it's packed with hydration but without feeling greasy! It had a sort of bouncy texture, if that makes sense? Since I have dry skin, I felt I needed to apply it about three times to combat the dryness. I think this formula might be even more appealing to those with oily skin types!

  Even with my sensitive skin, I found it pleasant to use without any blemishes popping up or irritation. It's supposed to have firming and brightening effects, and while I haven't been using it long enough to say for sure, I think with consistent use you might notice a lifting effect and a brighter complexion.

There's absolutely nothing bad to say about this product. I truly think it's a great, versatile option that works well for everyone.

I'll admit, I was a bit hesitant at first when I saw 'hemp' in the ingredients. But this serum absorbs so well and has such a rich texture that I think it would be great for those with dry skin to use instead of toner as the first step in their routine.

Apply lightly before makeup for plump, bouncy skin!

There aren't any major drawbacks, but if I had to pick one, the packaging lid is a bit stiff. You need to use some force to open it.

The Hwahae Testers review is in!

The fragrance and texture are lovely. When you apply heavy base products before makeup, they can pill and separate, but this one spreads thinly, providing hydration and leaving your skin plump and bouncy!

I was worried about the fragrance being divisive, but I'm a fan! It's not overpowering or cloying, just a subtle floral scent.

Leaves a sticky residue. There's a lingering stickiness after use. Even applying an emulsion on top didn't eliminate it, but adding a cream finally made the stickiness unnoticeable.

The fragrance is a bit strong. As someone sensitive to scents, I initially found the fragrance intense. However, after using it several times, it didn't bother me as much.

Lacks deep hydration. For my very dry skin, it didn't provide a cooling effect or enough moisture, which was disappointing. My husband with oily skin liked it, but as someone with dry skin, I probably won't purchase it for myself.

Absorbs quickly and feels lightweight. It's fast-absorbing and has a light texture. As someone with very dry skin, I found it a bit light on hydration, so it might be better suited for oily skin types.

The pump dispenser is convenient. It's easy to control the amount and use hygienically without worrying about contamination.

I'm not quite sure what the scent is, but it seems to be a fresh rose fragrance with an underlying musky odor...
And I'm truly grateful for sending this to me, I appreciate everything so much... However, it didn't suit my skin, so I had to stop using it after 3 days... I developed something like hives... I'm sorry...

⭐The Hwahae Testers Experience Review⭐

This is my personal opinion, written with complete honesty.

💚My Current Skin Condition💚
01. Combination dehydrated skin type.
02. Skin that tends to get very hot.
03. Prone to blemishes or acne around the forehead, cheekbones, and mouth area depending on skin condition.
04. Prone to severe redness.

💚Didier Huet Hemp Stem Serum💚

The packaging was beautiful!
The texture absorbs well and feels gentle on the skin.

In the morning, this alone is enough to make my skin feel firm. In the evening, I think it's better to apply this followed by a moisturizing cream.

Overall, it's moisturizing and absorbs quickly after application, leaving my skin feeling firm, which I really like. However, it seems a bit pricey for the amount you get. But I think if used consistently, it could really help with deep dryness and be great for hydration and elasticity!

Skin type: My forehead and nose are oily... very oily actually! And my cheeks feel quite dry, it's a strange combination. My cheeks feel tight both on the surface and deep down, especially dry in winter due to heating. If I don't moisturize quickly after cleansing, they feel tight right away. That's my skin!

Texture: It's really like slightly sticky mucus when you have a cold, that kind of consistency. It's a common essence-like texture, and I found two pumps were just right to cover my whole face! In the evening, I apply toner, then this, followed by a moisturizing cream. In the morning, this alone absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling firm!

Scent: I'm not particularly sensitive, so it felt almost unscented to me. The fragrance isn't strong, but if I had to describe it, there's a very faint rose scent? Even that is only noticeable when applying, and disappears after about a minute... It seems quite mild to me!

If you search for the product name online, you can buy it cheaper from the official website. Products not sold on Hwahae Shopping often have higher prices listed in their product information than the actual retail price. It's usually the pre-discount price. If you search, you'll often find the product sold at a discounted price on the official website. If a product isn't on Hwahae Shopping and seems more expensive than expected when you come to write a Hwahae Testers review, check how much it's selling for on the official sales channel.

- Questions about the container:
While I mentioned liking the airless container earlier, I haven't been able to enjoy its benefits. When I first tried to open the clear lid, it came off with the pump attached, even with just a little force. Yes... air was introduced before I even started using it. This might just be my experience, but I wonder if it's only happened to me? That's disappointing.
I agree that the container design lacks luxury. I don't consider it a major drawback only because I believe product effectiveness matters more than aesthetic design. If only the airless container worked as intended! I still think maintaining the current state is better than changing the design and increasing costs.

- Value for money considering single-use amount:
For dry skin in winter, I found that one or two pumps weren't enough, and I needed to use three or more pumps each time. I probably used about 100 won worth of product volume per use. While I wrote that the price is reasonable for 50ml, if you use as much as I do per application, well... it might make you think twice.

Even though I fell asleep and missed the promised review deadline by a few hours... here's my Hwahae Testers review anyway.

I used this product for about 8 days on my dry skin. Especially in winter, when I don't get enough sleep and neglect moisturizing, I tend to develop small wounds on my face (different from blemishes, possibly mild eczema?). Recently, due to lack of care, I had many of these wounds and my skin was in poor condition. I wasn't too worried, knowing that with enough sleep and proper moisturizing, it would slowly return to normal. Some skincare products can positively influence the healing and soothing process of these wounds. Luckily, the Hemp Serum I won did just that, which made me happy. (*This was my personal experience, not a guarantee that others with similar conditions will see the same effects! I patch tested on part of my face on the first day before using it fully.)

- Texture characteristics:
It has a runny consistency, with a slight slip when dispensed. It's similar to the slippery feeling often found in cosmetics that emphasize fermented soybean extract. While it's noticeable on the hand, when patting it gently on the face, that unique feeling disappears, perhaps due to quick absorption. If you're unfamiliar with fermented soybean texture, it might just feel like a typical runny serum.
The viscosity makes it easy to control the amount and spread, and it absorbs well, which is great.

- Good ingredients:
Apart from fragrance, there are no harmful ingredients. I mentioned feeling the unique texture of fermented soybean cosmetics earlier, and lo and behold, there are actually soybean ingredients in it! I only knew about hemp stem, not the soybean component. Whether it's actually related to the texture, I'm not sure, but it feels good to have guessed correctly! Fermented ingredients, especially soy-related ones, usually work well for me, which might explain why I'm so satisfied with the Hemp Serum.

- Hydration and glow:
When I applied the Hemp Serum to my rough, less elastic skin with many wounds due to neglect, the wounds healed smoothly in less time than usual. This suggests good moisturizing power and some soothing effects. When I first received the product, my skin was red and inflamed with wounds, but after a few days of use and paying attention to my overall health, my skin became moisturized and gained a glow. Elasticity seems to have improved too, though I'm not sure if it's due to the hydration or the hemp stem, which is said to improve elasticity and wrinkles.

- Reasonable price for the volume:
The price listed on Hwahae often isn't the actual retail price, so I searched and found it's usually in the upper 20,000 won range. For 50ml, this seems worth purchasing.

- Vacuum pump container that shows remaining product:
I agree that the packaging design lacks luxury. However, I like its practicality. The semi-transparent exterior and vacuum pump interior make it easy to see how much product is left as the container rises with use. This is particularly good compared to the essence I was using just before joining the Hwahae Testers, which had a luxurious design but didn't allow checking the contents. I'm still not sure if I used that product up faster than expected or if the container malfunctioned. Sure enough, the product description for the Hemp Serum mentions using an airless container to prevent oxidation. If the current container serves its purpose, is there really a need to change the exterior design? Consumers would end up bearing that design cost too.

There wasn't really anything disappointing about it. If I had to say something, it's just that after two weeks of use, the brightening effects aren't dramatically noticeable yet?

The way this absorbs is really great! It has a consistency like in the photo, not too runny so it's easy to apply, and it doesn't feel sticky after application either! The scent is just right, and I'm hoping for some brightening effects, but I think I'll need to use it for a bit longer to see those results!

If I skip toner and only apply serum and cream, my skin feels dry after a day. When I pump twice and apply, it pills after absorption. The hydration level isn't particularly high; it feels slightly lacking. My lip area felt a bit irritated, possibly due to some sensitivity. It contains fragrance, so those with super sensitive skin might want to avoid it.

I have combination dehydrated skin that's sensitive, and I tend to get some blemishes around my menstrual cycle when my skin gets oilier. To be honest, I'm not sure what I particularly liked about this product while using it.
