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
Even though the freckles and dark spots that appeared above my cheekbones after giving birth to two children don't seem to go away easily, I think this product is quite nice from the few times I've used it so far. While it may not have the immediate effects of laser treatment, it gives a gradual fading effect.
Cons
I'm curious how many tubes I'll need to use before seeing noticeable results, as it's not just a matter of how it feels. The texture is a bit thick, but I understand it's not meant to function as an oil balm.

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
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
This is a review of the product that my parents, who were interested in this type of product, used with me. ~~How to Use~~ This was my first time using a stick-type cosmetic product. 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.

Pros
- The stick-type product allows for smooth and easy application without getting messy on the hands. - It applies thinly without a heavy or stuffy feeling, and the usage feels non-sticky and refreshing. - Compared to other stick products, this one seems more solid, giving a sense of less wear and tear. It appears it can be used for a relatively longer period.
Cons
- It applies a bit thickly, causing a slight irritation (friction). - Due to the very lightweight and thin application, the moisturizing effect is not very noticeable. (My skin type is dry.) - The whitening effect is uncertain.
Tip
Gently rubbing it on the back of the hand before use can help soften the surface, reducing irritation during application.

Pros
Compared to other stick products, it has a light, smooth feel and finish! It's not sticky and absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it lightly moisturized~
Cons
For my dry skin, the moisturizing effect was too weak. It spreads well on the back of my hand, but on my face, it feels stiff and doesn't apply smoothly. I had to rub it on the back of my hand a few times and then apply it to my face, then rub the back of my hand again and reapply to my face. Also, I usually just do a light basic skincare routine in the morning, only applying an essence, but since this is an essence stick, I ended up applying that too, and my makeup ended up looking cakey. I'd recommend this for summer use or for oily skin types!

Pros
The advantage of a stick is its convenience. You can simply swipe it on the areas you need, and it's great that it doesn't get your hands dirty when applying. You can focus on applying it to specific areas like the eye contour, lip wrinkles, and blemishes, just like an eye cream. It's fragrance-free and non-irritating, so it's likely suitable for those with sensitive skin.
Cons
If it's a stick formula, it should melt easily with just body temperature, but it's quite stiff, so the application isn't very smooth. You don't get that instantly hydrated feeling right after applying, so you end up layering it on multiple times. You have to warm it up by rolling it on the back of your hand before applying, which kind of defeats the purpose of using a stick. The slightly tacky finish is also a downside. You get more of a surface-level feel rather than a sense of it being absorbed into the skin.
Tip
The portability is great, so you can keep it in your bag and apply it conveniently whenever you feel your skin needs a boost. It seems more suitable as a supplementary product rather than for standalone use.

Pros
※Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review 1. Great moisturizing power! I've been using this instead of a cream in the basic skincare step, and even during this seasonal transition, I didn't feel any dryness at all! 2. Good spreadability! This depends on how you do your basic skincare, but if you have a solid base and apply it, it spreads smoothly without feeling thick or stiff. 3. Refreshing finish! I was a bit worried that since it's a night-type product, it might feel like it's suffocating my face, but it doesn't have that feeling. It has good moisturizing power while still feeling refreshing (though it may not be suitable for oily skin). 4. Seems to have whitening functionality? I've only been using it for a week, so I'm not sure, but the freckles around my eyes seem to have faded a bit? But I'll have to use it more to see if it's definitely lightened them.
Cons
1. Dual nature of spreadability? As I mentioned above, if you have a solid basic skincare routine, the spreadability is good. But if you apply it on its own after some time, it does tend to feel a bit stiff.

Pros
My skin used to be oily in the T-zone and dry in the U-zone, but as I've gotten older, the oiliness has gone away and I've been feeling increasingly dry, so I've been paying more attention to my basic skincare products. The stick-type product is definitely convenient and good to use, as you can carry it around and apply it to dry areas. It's recommended to use it as the final step in your skincare routine, after applying creams, and it spreads on smoothly without any stickiness, leaving a refreshing feel. I usually only applied other stick products to areas of concern like wrinkles or dryness, but this product also has whitening functionality that's good for freckles and blemishes, so you can take care of wrinkles and skin tone at the same time.
Cons
When using the cream, it spreads on smoothly as the final step, but when using it on areas like the neck without the cream, it feels a bit too thick and sticky.
Tip
For those who often feel dryness in their daily life, carrying this around and applying it to dry areas as needed can really help relieve the dryness and is quite beneficial.
