Pros
I am a 30-something with dry skin type! As my skin became more sensitive to elasticity over the years, I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and got to try the product. The packaging was clean and easy to open, which was convenient. The color looks opaque and dense, but unlike the sticky appearance, it absorbed quickly and didn't leave a greasy residue when applied, which I liked. After applying the first layer and finishing with a cream, I was able to wake up without any dryness, which is very satisfying for someone with dry skin! I'm not sure if there's a dramatic improvement in elasticity and volume, but I'll need to observe it a bit longer.
Cons
While there are many English labels, I think it could reach a more diverse target audience if more content was written in Korean.

Pros
Comfortable. Moisturizing. Easy to apply to targeted areas and has a suitable amount of oiliness.
Cons
It doesn't spread as well as expected, and it's impossible to visually confirm how much has been applied, so you end up applying too much.

Pros
This was my first time using a stick-type essence, and I found the small size to be very convenient for carrying around. It wasn't sticky at all, and I could just swipe it on dry areas whenever I needed it, which was really easy. It's more like a moisturizing balm than a pure hydrating product, and the texture isn't too firm or too soft, so it applies smoothly. It was great for quickly applying around my eyes or on my neck when I didn't feel like using an eye cream or neck cream.
Cons
When applying a cream as the final step, I felt like it needed a bit more time to fully absorb.

Pros
First, I opened it and the scent is so lovely. It's not a strong floral scent, but more of a refreshing herbal flower aroma? The color and design are also pretty. As I'm turning 30, I've been worried about managing the wrinkles around my eyes, but after applying it, my skin definitely feels more moisturized and I'm satisfied. It seems to also help with firmness, so I'm looking forward to using it consistently and getting a two-in-one benefit. The stick format makes it easy to apply quickly without a mirror, so I find myself reaching for it often.
Cons
The price range is a bit disappointing. I usually purchase Leaders products through a dermatologist, but they're too expensive for me to use regularly.
Tip
I keep it on my desk and apply it whenever my skin feels dry. The areas I've been applying it to have felt noticeably more moisturized within a few days.

Pros
This item has been really popular lately, so I really wanted to try it out. It's definitely convenient to carry around, so I find myself reaching for it often. Even without a mirror, I can easily swipe it on anytime, which is so convenient. My skin feels smoother and less dry, without any tightness.
Cons
After just a few days of using it, I didn't see any dramatic reduction in my wrinkles, haha. But by applying it regularly, I never feel dry, and the moisturized feeling alone puts me in a good mood.

Pros
The product glides on smoothly and has a nice consistency. Compared to other stick products, it feels less sticky. I really like moisturizing products, but I don't like when they feel too sticky. This one was just right for me. It doesn't feel overly oily, but it's not too dry either. It's perfect for quick application, especially when applying it to the neck area.
Cons
Not applicable yet... If I had to nitpick, stick makeup products may tend to have less oil and moisture compared to regular creams. So for very dry skin or when needing more intensive care, I would use a regular cream instead of a stick.

Pros
For skin in the mid-30s that feels dry and lacks its own moisturizing properties, oil has now become essential. The product, in stick form, is compact and convenient to twist and use, allowing me to keep it on hand and reapply it easily. The non-sticky, moisturizing oil texture feels comfortable, even when reapplied frequently. When applied to the lips, it smooths over wrinkles gently without slipping.
Cons
The scent is almost unscented, which is both good and a bit disappointing. While it fills the skin with oil without looking greasy, and I've tried using it on dry areas by keeping it in my bag, I do wish there was a subtle fragrance added. Although the lightweight, non-sticky feeling that envelops the skin is not burdensome, the signature rich moisturizing sensation of this type of balm did not last very long on my dry skin. However, as a convenient stick product, I can reapply it frequently, which should help.
Tip
The best way to use this is to reapply it often, and this stick balm is great for that. After cleansing when I'm tired, I'll quickly swipe it on the delicate areas around my eyes, lips, and neck before putting on a face mask. This prevents those areas from getting too dry, unlike when I just use the mask alone. It's really helpful.

Pros
Skin type: Combination, dry but oily on the nose and forehead. 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.
Tip
I 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.👍

Pros
- As a stick product, it is easy to use and can be easily applied to the neck, eye area, and lip area - It melts well with body temperature like a balm, and you can feel it become soft and moisturized when gently massaged - It's not just a simple oil shine, but can be used without feeling burdened - It's good for temporarily pressing down the flaky areas before makeup
Cons
- I'm not sure about the noticeable wrinkle improvement effect. I think I need to use it consistently to know - The fragrance is somewhat irritating. It's not noticeable while applying, but after application, there's a crushed flower petal-like scent that lingers. There may be mixed opinions about it - The formula is on the firmer side, but it melts well with body temperature and can be used up quickly - While it can be used like a lip balm... I couldn't try it because the fragrance is too irritating

Pros
🌈 Hwahae Trial Reviewer's review. The usage is convenient and hygienic.. Just apply it according to the instructions on the stick, and you're done with the finishing touch on your skin. Even when applying multiple layers, there was no clumping or sliding. You can apply it evenly without touching it, which is convenient and hygienic. The stick type is easy and convenient to use anytime, anywhere, and it was very effective in improving dryness with just one use. Applying it once more in the afternoon lasts until the evening! When applied over a moisturizer, it prolonged the moisture and gave a natural glow. Although I couldn't immediately see the wrinkle improvement effect as advertised on TV shopping, the areas that felt partially dry have decreased. The fragrance is light, reminiscent of lilac flowers or herbs. Even those who dislike fragrance may not find it too bothersome as it is very subtle.
Cons
When using anti-aging creams or night creams and then applying the stick, there was a slight but noticeable itchiness. I didn't feel it when using it with a moisturizer...It seems to attract dust or hair, making me constantly touch my face. Especially on days when I wore a mask, there were times when it felt itchy depending on the mask type. When applied over tone-up creams or color makeup, the makeup became faded and the stick got contaminated, so caution is advised! After cleansing, my skin felt oily, so water and soap alone were not enough, and I had to use a cleansing water.
Tip
Applying it concentrated on areas with wrinkles, such as the forehead, around the eyes, around the mouth, and the neck, before going to bed 👍🏻.. The next morning, the skin feels smoothed and polished.
