The non-mushy texture allowed for a thin application each time. Compared to other stick formulas I've used, I loved that it had a lightweight finish with less shine and absorbed quickly. Despite being a stick that directly contacts the skin and inevitably applies some pressure, I appreciated that it caused minimal irritation. While I didn't notice much when used after hydrating products like toner or essence, I felt sufficient hydration when applied right after cleansing or during dry spells. My rating is about 4.5, based solely on its hydrating power. If you're looking for improvement in other areas, I'd suggest checking other reviews!
ConsThough it contains PEG in the ingredients, I don't plan on eating the product... It might have been better without it, but I was satisfied with how it felt and it didn't cause any blemishes. However, those with super sensitive skin might want to avoid it. Initially, it was hard and didn't apply well, possibly due to a coating. It's a shame there wasn't any guidance about this.
TipGiven the short testing period, it's hard to speak to the product's long-term effects, but overall I did notice a brightening effect. However, it's disappointing that as a Hwahae Tester, I couldn't verify improvements in dark spots or blemishes due to the limited use time. For this reason, I haven't included photos. For stick-type products that sometimes come with a coating, you can reduce potential irritation by wiping them with a tissue before first use.

Cons- Lacks hydration, may feel dry for those with dry skin Recommended to apply a hydrating serum or moisturizer beforehand - The product seems to run out faster than expected, making the price-to-quantity ratio somewhat disappointing
TipRecommended for those with oily and extremely sensitive skin Great for people who dislike sticky and greasy textures

I apply it frequently after my skincare routine when my skin feels dry. It's hygienic since you don't need to use your hands. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I dislike overly rich products, but this one provides hydration without feeling greasy on the skin.
ConsThe texture might be a bit firm, which could potentially feel irritating for some users.
TipYou can also pat it on gently over your makeup for touch-ups throughout the day.

When applied to clean skin after washing your face, it provides hydration without leaving a greasy feeling. It maintains moisture for a long time, and has a subtle floral scent that shouldn't be polarizing. Personally, that was my favorite aspect. The design is also clean and pleasantly attractive.
ConsAs for blemishes, you won't see immediate results after the first few applications. It seems you need to use it consistently to see noticeable effects. Other than that, it's convenient and easy to use!
TipFor my evening routine, I go: face wash → skin toner → skin emulsion → ⭐️First Shot Essence Stick Toning Control⭐️. When I apply it this way and wake up in the morning, my complexion seems slightly brighter than before!

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.ProsThis seems to be the most refreshing stick balm I've tried so far, with the least oily feel! It has a light, fresh texture without any greasiness or stickiness, making your skin feel comfortable as if you're not wearing anything at all. When applying it to the skin, instead of the typical oily balm sensation, you can feel a moist hydration. It also provides a cool, soothing effect that's great for calming heated skin. It's not at all burdensome to wear under a mask. It's perfect for carrying around and applying frequently, especially during the hot summer months.
ConsWhile the fresh feel is nice, it's so light that it's hard to tell if you're actually applying anything. Due to its lightness, the hydration power is somewhat weak, making it more suitable as a supplementary product rather than a main moisturizer.
TipWith its low oil content and noticeable hydration and cooling effect, this formula seems perfect for frequent application in summer to quickly soothe skin irritated by heat and mask-wearing.

You know that moment when you look in the mirror after washing your face? That feeling when you think, 'Wow, my complexion looks radiant today!' Even though it's a night cream, I was surprised it didn't feel overly rich. I loved that it didn't leave a greasy film on my skin.
ConsUnfortunately, the stick is quite firm, making it difficult to apply with a gentle rolling motion. It should melt slightly upon contact with the skin for smoother application, but instead, the friction often causes my cheeks to turn red. The overall user experience wasn't as pleasant as I had hoped.
TipI recommend applying this over a hydrating base layer to ensure your skin is well-moisturized. Then, gently roll the product on for the best results.

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.ProsThis is my first time trying a stick-type skincare product, and I'm amazed at how convenient it is. It's lightweight, making it perfect for on-the-go use. The formula adheres thinly to the skin without any greasiness or excess, making it easy to apply year-round. It's become my most-used product. As consistency is key in skincare, the convenience factor is definitely appreciated! With different versions available for specific concerns, it seems possible to target various areas. The solid texture doesn't melt easily, yet it's not too stiff, applying in a thin layer that's suitable for daytime use. Even with my oily skin, I don't feel hesitant about applying it to my T-zone. I also appreciate that it's fragrance-free and colorless for a clean feel.
ConsGiven its solid stick ointment-like texture, I felt it was more effective in preventing light blemishes from worsening rather than providing powerful spot treatment. It applies with a matte finish and very little moisture, so it's important to thoroughly hydrate before and after use, treating this more as a finishing step in your routine.
TipTo compensate for the lack of hydration, I layer on lots of toner beforehand. After applying it all over, I follow up with a moisturizer and then reapply this product as a sort of 'coating' on problem areas. I've found it helpful not just for blemishes, but also for the nasolabial folds, where it seems to lock in moisture and prevent dehydration. It also works well as a light primer when doing minimal makeup.

Among the many stick serums I own, this one has the least shine! 2. There's a slight cooling sensation when applied to bare skin! 3. Gentle and mild! Non-irritating! 4. The scent is very subtle, almost unscented, so it doesn't feel uncomfortable even when applied near the nose or on the lips! 5. After daily testing for a week, no blemishes or small bumps appeared! 6. Great texture even for oily skin types!
Cons1. Can't be used alone - it feels tight if applied by itself. You need to use it with other products :) 2. Like all stick serums, it feels more like it's sitting on the surface rather than absorbing. However, it's the least shiny compared to other sticks! Haven't seen any dramatic changes like brighter skin or faded dark spots yet since I've only used it for a short time, but I'm using it without any issues or blemishes!
TipIt feels super cool when you keep it in the fridge before applying...

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 biggest advantage is its stick format, which allows for application without getting your hands messy. Following the instructions, I applied it as the last step in my skincare routine. It doesn't feel overly rich or greasy at all, but provides just the right amount of hydration. It feels like it creates a perfect moisture barrier over the entire face, which I really liked. As for its effectiveness in improving dark spots and blemishes, I'll need to use it for a while longer to see results.
ConsThe texture is a bit firm, so you need to apply some pressure when using it. Also, there's almost no scent, which might be disappointing for those who enjoy a refreshing fragrance during application. While this gives it a more natural feel, it might not provide that invigorating sensation some people look for in their skincare routine.
TipI also applied it to the back of my hands and loved how moisturizing it felt.

It was soft and had the least rich feeling among recent stick products, which I really liked. From the next day, my routine was cleanse -> ampoule -> essence -> stick. After using it consistently for a few days, I noticed: 1. Due to its low oil content, I experienced fewer blemishes even when wearing a mask. 2. It provides great hydration and my skin didn't feel dry even after wearing a mask.
ConsThe lack of fragrance was a bit disappointing. I think a fresh, lemony scent would make it more pleasant to use.
