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!
ConsI'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.
TipIf you apply this slowly like melting it into the skin during the last step of your skincare routine, it will apply less thickly!

Compared to the Ga* Multi Balm, the texture is much lighter and firmer. The Multi Balm would stick to my hair and feel heavy after application, but this one applies thinly without any stickiness or shine!!! I can't say for sure about the blemish improvement yet, as I haven't used it for long, so I'll come back after using it up completely.
ConsThe texture is not soft, but extremely firm, so it tends to drag on the skin after completing my base makeup routine ㅠㅡㅠ It doesn't melt into the skin well, and I have to apply with some force, which seems to cause a slight irritation.
TipIt seems like a good entry-level product for whitening vitamin ingredients!! As with all whitening and blemish-improving products, <consistency> is key!

I felt it was hygienic that I could apply the formula to my skin without touching it, and it was good that I could use it sporadically on specific areas. It seems like an accessible product for those interested in similar products. ~~User Experience~~ After using it, there were no breakouts, and it was good for dry weather as I could apply it sporadically to the areas that felt dry. While the formula has a slightly tacky feel, for some it may feel like a glow, and these days when the 'no makeup' look is popular, it can be used in different ways depending on how you apply it.
Cons--Moisturizing The product alone is not enough to replace creams and the like. It is suitable as an additional product, but difficult to use it as a standalone moisturizer. --User Experience It applies somewhat stiffly. There are also cases where it can feel heavy, so some technique may be required.

The application was smooth and comfortable. The best part was that the outer sticker could be peeled off for easy recycling. There was a slight cooling sensation when applied. (Not a burning sensation, but more like a slight temperature reduction) I was worried because I have atopic dermatitis and had some small pimples around my cheeks and eyebrows when I received the product, but I was surprised that it did not cause any breakouts. (I was worried the oily texture would cause breakouts, but it did not) This seems like a good product to use instead of lotions or creams, and can be applied all over the face. (For oily skin, may not be suitable in the summer)
ConsAfter applying, I noticed that some of the product had shifted or remained on the sides of my face. So before going to work and doing my makeup, I would need to check and rub those areas. As a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I've only used the product for about a week, so I'm unable to verify its whitening or blemish-reducing effects. (I'll leave an additional review after finishing the whole bottle.) +++++Additional Review After Using the Whole Bottle I'm not sure about the whitening or blemish-reducing effects... Honestly, expecting those kinds of benefits from a cosmetic product may be too much, but since the product is marketed with those claims, I felt compelled to purchase it. There's a bit left, but I'm not sure how to use up the remaining portion. It's a waste to throw it away, but using it would be inconvenient as the product would get scraped by tools like toothpicks. If I were in this situation, I'd probably just use another whitening product instead.

But after using it, I actually felt that it's better to use this after properly applying a basic skincare routine. 👉There were no issues with skin irritation or breakouts after using the product.
ConsIt's a bit too matte. The application feels thick and sticky, so I end up having to put in extra effort to spread it evenly. This leads to a slightly patchy application.
TipI don't have any special tips, but just make sure to apply your basic skincare thoroughly first, and then use this as the last step. Using it alone can be very drying.

Cons-The moisturizing power is not that high, so it's difficult to use this product alone for skincare. I need to apply something else on top. -It tends to crease on makeup. I thought it would be similar to the Gahi product, but it seems to have less oil content. Not recommended for use over makeup.
TipI'm using it to help prevent freckles and blemishes.
