  Pros

  With the changing seasons lately, I've been worried that my skin gets dry and sensitive quickly after just my morning skincare routine! This product is so convenient to apply quickly and easily anywhere. My skin is usually super sensitive, so I can't use just anything. But this has passed skin irritation tests, so I'm using it with great satisfaction since it doesn't cause any irritation!!!!

  Cons

  The downside is that since it's a stick format, I'm a bit concerned about hygiene and how quickly it gets used up~~

  Pros

  The product doesn't feel sticky or greasy after application. It absorbs really well. There's a subtle floral scent, possibly lavender, which I find quite pleasant.

  Cons

  Being a stick format, it doesn't appear very hygienic. That's why I personally only use it on my eye area, forehead, and face in general.

  Tip

  While it absorbs well, applying too much pressure can make it feel heavy. Try using a lighter touch or if that's difficult, gently pat it onto your skin for best results.

  Pros

  The Hwahae Testers Review: - The stick format makes it super convenient to apply. It's perfect as a portable product too! - It absorbs surprisingly quickly, so there's absolutely no pilling when I apply makeup over it. - I didn't experience any blemishes. I mainly used it on my dry cheek areas and areas with more wrinkles. It didn't feel heavy at all, and I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight it felt! - Personally, I don't usually use a separate eye cream, so this is a useful alternative for me.

  Cons

  - I thought it had an artificial scent, and I was disappointed to find out it contains added fragrance. It might be challenging for those sensitive to scents, though I found the floral-like fragrance okay. - Being a stick format, I'm a bit concerned about hygiene. Although it's a multi-balm that could potentially be applied over makeup, I can't bring myself to use it that way due to its stick form. - To be honest, I had high hopes for its effect on neck wrinkles! Unfortunately, there wasn't any dramatic improvement... I don't see much change yet. I took before and after photos to compare, but the difference was so minimal that I didn't bother posting them.

  Tip

  This would be perfect for combating dryness at the office with just a quick application!

  Pros

  I love the subtle fragrance that emerges when you apply it. Although I'm usually sensitive to scents and prefer unscented products, this one has a delicate floral aroma that's not overpowering and actually lifts my mood. The lavender-tinted stick is visually appealing too, which makes application a pleasant experience. Apart from the fragrance, the ingredients list doesn't contain any concerning components, so I've been using it without any side effects. As someone with combination dehydrated skin that tends to get oily over time, I was worried a stick balm might be too greasy. Fortunately, it's not overly rich - just moisturizing with a slight richness that prevents dryness. I found it convenient to swipe on areas prone to wrinkles like around the eyes and mouth. The stick format is indeed travel-friendly and doesn't leave residue on your hands during application.

  Cons

  I apply this as the final step in my skincare routine, but being a stick type, I'm concerned about contamination from previously applied products on my face. It also tends to attract dust, so it requires careful maintenance.

  Tip

  Before use, you can wipe the stick on a paper towel to remove any dust or foreign particles.
