It was great to carry around as it is small and portable, perfect for travel 2. Even those sensitive to scents can use it comfortably 3. I did not feel any itchiness or irritation when applying it 4. The smooth application suggests less skin irritation 5. The oil-water balance is around 60:40 6. There was no oiliness, which was nice (good for light use) 7. There was no stickiness after application, which was great 8. Fine wrinkles and lines have definitely disappeared (100% repurchase rate)
Cons1. It seems like it will run out quickly (the volume is a bit disappointing considering the price) 2. There is one ingredient that is not good for oily skin 3. It's good for preventing wrinkles, but not recommended for those who already have deep wrinkles

At first, it felt a bit thick when I applied it, but as it gradually melted with body temperature, it spread smoothly! (But it doesn't get too soft) It's great that I can easily apply it to my face, neck, and elbows. As you can see in the photo I've attached on my palm, it has a nice oily texture, but it doesn't make my face too shiny or greasy when I apply it. It's just the right amount, so I think it's suitable for both day and night care! Since it's a multi-balm, I'm satisfied with its versatility. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to start anti-aging on a budget, as it doesn't cost a lot.
ConsSince I haven't used it for a long time, I don't have any major downsides, but if I had to pick one, it would be that the amount is a bit small? (The length of the product after I've used it up is about the size of my little finger) But it's not too expensive compared to other anti-aging products, so it's still quite decent.
TipIt's better to apply it by gently rolling it on, rather than just swiping it on.

It would be great to use this product in the dry winter season
ConsThe quantity is a bit disappointing considering the price ☹️ It would be better if it were a little more affordable
TipIt works better when applied after cleansing rather than before makeup It is useful for managing neck wrinkles

I had to bring it with me when I was recently hospitalized, and it was more than enough on its own. The best thing about it is the smooth application. Some stick products can feel a bit stiff and rigid when applied, but this one glides on smoothly and melts naturally with body heat, giving a wonderfully soft and comfortable feel. Secondly, the luminosity is really beautiful. Some products can look overly oily and greasy, but this one has a lovely, radiant glow without feeling heavy. When rolling it on, it's incredibly smooth. I've applied it to my face and even my lips, and it feels so soft and silky. Not only do I love it, but I also tried it on a child who had a slight fever and flushed cheeks. It gave their face a natural, dewy glow. I highly recommend this product!
ConsThere doesn't seem to be any major downsides, but if I had to pick one, it would be that the amount might be a bit small. It feels like it might not be enough to really slather on.

When applied to the neck, as long as I don't purposely stick my hair to it, it's easy to apply, and it feels like a slightly lighter version of petroleum jelly when used on the skin! ✔️Effectiveness: I applied it to my neck morning and evening for 8 days from March 11th, the day the product arrived. Realistically, wrinkles can't disappear in 8 days, haha. I'll update on this part later.😊😊 ✔️Overall impression: I've been really struggling to find the right product for my wrinkle concerns, but this one has great ingredients and ☆applies lightly☆, making it so easy to use! I'll keep using it consistently to tackle those wrinkles!
ConsHmm, I haven't really noticed any disappointing aspects, but from reading other reviews, it seems the amount is a bit small?! However, other brands' products are about the same size too. I haven't felt any downsides to the product yet.

Slight laugh lines, forehead wrinkles, and neck wrinkles. This stick-type wrinkle care cosmetic is a very popular and convenient item. To focus on wrinkle improvement, I applied it to the laugh lines, forehead, and eye area before bed. The test period was about a week!!! ✅ Wrinkles, Elasticity The most important part is the wrinkles.!!! I applied it before bed and the wrinkles definitely did not deepen further. I applied it to the laugh lines, eye area, and forehead, and even though the wrinkles had been deepening due to pillow pressure, they did not deepen further.!!! ✅ Texture The stick form is quite firm, but it's not sticky or stiff when applied. The application is quite smooth. ✅ Oiliness When applied, the texture is definitely thicker than serums or other creams. There is some oiliness, so it seems fine to leave it on overnight for the wrinkles.^^ ✅ Radiance The oiliness may contribute to a radiant effect, but since I only applied it to the wrinkle areas and not my whole face, the radiance is not very noticeable, only in the areas where it was applied. ✅ Fragrance The fragrance is a subtle floral scent, not overpowering and quite pleasant. ✅ Longevity When applied at night, it's not overly drying in the morning. There is some oiliness when applied, but it absorbs well and leaves an appropriate amount behind over time. 🎖Overall: This wrinkle-care stick is quite good. The absorption, application, and wrinkle improvement effects are decent. Since it's for wrinkles and elasticity, the formula seems quite concentrated. After using it for only a week, the effects may improve further with continued use. The 10g size means it should be used alongside other products, and it's best to apply it only to the wrinkle areas.
Cons➡️The 10g size is quite small, so it would likely be used up quickly if applied to larger areas like the neck.😂A slightly larger size would be better. ➡️It needs to be used alongside other cosmetics. The concentrated formula means it can't cover the entire face, so it should be used in conjunction with essences or basic skincare products for the wrinkle areas. Compared to other brand's stick products, there aren't any major downsides to this one.
TipI apply the following routine: 1. Apply toner 2. Apply the Leaders stick 3. Apply essence 4. As a final step, apply the stick one more time 🎖By applying a generous amount of the stick before bed, it maximizes the effects overnight. In the morning, my skin is not dry and the wrinkle improvement is good.👍

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 stick format is great because it allows me to easily manage wrinkles and moisture anytime, anywhere! The non-sticky feeling made it pleasant to apply on my face. In particular, it was nice to apply an extra layer after my nighttime skincare routine when my skin felt dry. Lately, I've been feeling a bit of dryness, but after applying it, my skin felt moisturized and radiant. Most importantly, it's free of 7 harmful ingredients, so even those with sensitive skin should be able to use it comfortably. It provides a dewy glow, not a greasy shine, which I really like.
ConsThe volume is too small ㅠㅠㅠ I have to apply it frequently when my skin feels dry, and it runs out quickly, which is a shame ㅠㅠ
TipIf you apply it lightly over your nighttime skincare routine, it will give your skin a smooth, supple glow and a plump, bouncy feel.

It's surprisingly soft and powdery!!! This is the part I'm most satisfied with!!! [Fragrance] ♡♡♡♡♡ I thought it would be fragrance-free, but it has a subtle, delicate scent. I highly recommend this to those who dislike fragrance in cosmetics.
ConsA common disappointment with stick cosmetics is the price and volume, and this one is no exception - the slightly high price and small volume are a bit disappointing.
TipAfter showering and doing my basic skincare routine, applying this product as the final touch, focusing on the areas that dry well, is really great.

I was selected and got to try it out. (There was no mention of product support or reviews, just my personal experience.) I mostly used it on my neck and eye area! I usually applied it as the last step after my skincare routine! 1. It's convenient to use and carry around. As a stick type, I can quickly apply it after my nighttime skincare routine while using my laptop, or at the office when my skin feels dry. Unlike tube-type creams, I can just swipe it on without getting it on my hands. 2. The oil content is just right. I tried the most famous stick-type product before, but it was too oily, so I applied for this event and won. I've been using it for over a week, and I really like that it's not too greasy. I haven't had any milia pop up around my eyes while using it. 3. It's affordable. It's cheaper than other stick-type products. Since it uses oils to deeply moisturize and fill in fine lines, I don't think expensive products are necessary. 4. It doesn't attract dust. Whether I leave the stick open or apply it to my face, there's no dust sticking to the product or my skin. My hair doesn't get stuck to it either. The oil has a firm, non-greasy texture, so it doesn't seem to collect as much dust. 5. It has multiple uses. I've used it for the undereye area, to manage fine lines around the eyes and neck, as a cuticle cream, a pre-concealer moisturizer, and to wipe away makeup buildup. 6. I can see how much I've used. Being able to visually see how much I've used is satisfying and makes me feel like I'm really taking care of my skin.
Cons1. Hygiene management is a hassle. With tube-type creams, only a certain amount comes out, but with this stick, it's constantly exposed to air once opened. After applying makeup, if I need to dab some on while out, I have to wipe the stick clean with a tissue or cotton pad before reapplying my foundation. 2. The volume is small compared to the usage amount. As you can see in the fourth photo, I used quite a bit in just one week. The convenience and portability make me use more than expected, which leads to the volume being a problem.
Tip1. Applying it before concealer prevents the concealer from creasing! 2. When I want to temporarily conceal neck wrinkles while out, it has an immediate effect! 3. Applying it to the cuticles under my nails hydrates them and makes my nails look healthier! 4. If I have any makeup buildup while out, I can apply this, wipe it off with a tissue, and then reapply my makeup for a flawless finish! (The second photo shows how much I used in a week - the app limits how many high-quality photos I can upload, so I couldn't include more 😭)

ConsWhile searching for any shortcomings to write a comprehensive review, I couldn't find any The only thing I wish for is if there was a larger size option?
TipIf you apply it right after cleansing, the effects are even more pronounced! Especially focus on areas like laugh lines for better results!!
