Pros
2-second complete multi-balm! Readers First Shot Essence Stick❣️ Freckle spot toning control! These days, stick cosmetics are the trend! You can easily swipe it on~~ It's so convenient to apply in the morning and evening with the stick. It's not irritating and is gentle on the skin, so it doesn't sting and is low-irritation. The scent is also not irritating, but subtle and comforting! I'd like to try the other version, the wrinkle version too💜
Cons
Since it's a whitening product, it feels a bit thick rather than soft. If it could be applied more smoothly and adhere better, that would be great🤍

Pros
1. I don't usually like products with fragrance, but I really liked that this product is fragrance-free. 2. My under-eye area often gets dry, so when I go out without makeup, I apply it to the under-eye and around the nose area. The moisturizing and plumping effect lasts for a long time!
Cons
I'm currently using the stick product from the well-known brand GH. Compared to GH, the application was a bit disappointing. This product is plump, but the application is a bit thick, so I'm worried about it causing wrinkles when I apply it lightly on my face.
Tip
If you apply this slowly like melting it into the skin during the last step of your skincare routine, it will apply less thickly!

Pros
Hey there! I'm back as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer after a long time. These days, using beauty products is the trend, so it seems like Leaders Cosmetics is also selling similar products! The texture 🐶🐶🐶 is a bit firmer than I expected. I liked that it doesn't apply too much at once. The scent 🐶🐶🐶🐶 is almost unscented, which makes it comfortable to apply without any aversion. The functionality 🐶🐶🐶🐶 is great - I can use it before bed and under makeup, as it's much less slippery than other stick-type products.
Cons
Everything else is good, but the design and volume are a bit disappointing...

Pros
1. Fragrance I was pleased that there was no fragrance. While a fragrance would not have been bad, the lack of an intense fragrance made it comfortable to use. 2. Spreadability At first, it felt a bit stiff when applying, but I liked that it spread without feeling sticky. It had a fluffy, soft feel. 3. Convenience The stick-type format, similar to a lip balm, makes it easy to use and doesn't get on your hands. The lip balm-like form made it convenient to carry around and apply.
Cons
1. Ingredients It's a shame that one of the 20 main caution ingredients is included in the formula. 2. Moisture It seems to lack sufficient moisture to be used on its own. It would be best to use it as the final step after proper skincare. 3. Whitening I couldn't really feel the effects soon after starting to use it. As a whitening product, it may take more time to see the results.
Tip
It would be best to apply it as the final step in your skincare routine.

Pros
I have a dry skin with blemishes and wrinkles. The best part was that it's in a stick form. It was very convenient to use as it doesn't get on my hands and I could do the whitening treatment. Just swiping it from the inner to the outer part of my face was easy to use, and even though it's not a wrinkle-specific product, it was applied smoothly like a wrinkle prevention product. The subtle fragrance was also comfortable. After application, it gave my skin a subtle glow. But you need to apply it multiple times. I applied it before makeup and patted it on, then applied powder, and I was surprised that there was no cakiness or slippage.
Cons
There were no breakouts on my skin. But when I first applied it, my skin felt a bit stiff and reddish. It was recommended to use it as the last step of my skincare routine, and even then, it felt a bit stiff. I haven't finished the whole bottle yet, so I'm not sure about the whitening effects, but I'll post another review after I've used it up.
Tip
When I apply it from the inner to the outer part of my face, I also get a lifting effect, so I always apply it that way!

Pros
When I applied it, it felt slightly refreshing. It wasn't the kind of cooling sensation you'd get from a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, but it was still pleasant. And it didn't feel sticky at all, which I liked. Before applying the cushion, I put on the stick and the cushion didn't slide around. The scent was also nice - it had that kind of crisp, cucumber-like freshness.
Cons
To be honest, since it's only been a week, I'm not sure if it's lightened my freckles and blemishes yet. I'll need to use it for longer to see the effects.

Pros
1. Immediate and natural glow without artificiality 2. No stickiness 3. As it is a stick, applying it while pressing down on the massage areas provides a massaging effect and a refreshing sensation 4. Applies thinly 5. Pleasant fragrance (I usually prefer unscented products, but this has a subtle and unobtrusive lovely scent) 6. Consistent application shows improvement in skin tone
Cons
1. The glow does not last very long 2. To achieve the glow shown in the uploaded photo, the same area needs to be applied back and forth around 20 times 3. Caution is needed as overly vigorous application can create wrinkles 4. When using it after makeup, you need a separate product for the base and one for makeup, totaling 2 products 5. There was a slight irritation when applied while having seasonal skin allergies
Tip
The usage instructions say to apply it following the skin texture, but applying it against the grain also seems to help the product penetrate better between the fine hairs, enhancing the glow effect.

Pros
This is an essence stick with a moisturizing lip balm texture. After cleansing, when applied to clean skin, it provides moisture without a greasy feel and maintains hydration for a long time. It also has a subtle floral scent that doesn't polarize opinions, which was personally my favorite part. The design is also clean and unassuming, making it look pretty.
Cons
The blemish-improving effects don't show up immediately after a few applications, but seem to require consistent use to see the results. Other than that, it's easy to use!
Tip
As part of my evening routine, I cleanse, use a skin toner, apply a skin lotion, and then finish with the ⭐️First Shot Essence Stick Toning Control⭐️. When I wake up in the morning after doing this, my skin feels slightly brighter than before.

Pros
The fragrance is not too burdensome and it's quite nice. The spreadability is also very good. It's very easy to apply as well. It absorbs well! While I couldn't fully capture it in the photos, my skin feels brighter.
Cons
There is a slight oily feeling. As a combination skin type, I think it might feel a bit oily if I apply it frequently in the morning and afternoon.
Tip
Rather than applying it morning and evening, I find it better to apply a generous amount in the evening as the last step of my skincare routine. If you have dry skin, you could apply it periodically during the day and it would likely feel moisturizing and good!

Pros
I really liked how there was almost no scent, and the faint fragrance that was present was not unpleasant. Since my skin already has minimal blemishes, I didn't see a huge effect, but I also didn't experience any irritation or side effects.
Cons
At first, there was a sticky, thick feeling, like I had spread glue on my face, but it became fine as I continued using it.
