Effectiveness: It's supposed to have brightening and blemish-improving effects, but I think that's something you can only tell after long-term use. For now, I didn't notice any immediate visible results. Application: Rather than being thick or creamy, it has a light stick texture! It's like a lightweight lip balm... The formula feels like it provides a slight touch of hydration rather than intense moisturization. Can it be used over makeup?: When applied over makeup, there's a bit of pilling... Of course, you can touch up those areas, but still! I tried using it like a highlighting stick, but since it's not a heavily moisturizing product, I didn't notice much of a glow.
ConsSensitivity: To be honest, this is where I had to deduct the most points. I tried applying it both over makeup and skincare, but red marks appeared exactly where I applied it. Fortunately, it didn't cause any inflammation or blemishes, but I'm cautious about using it on my face...

My chin and philtrum areas tend to be dry and irritated from wearing masks, so I especially felt a gentle cooling effect when applying it in the evening. The cooling effect isn't harsh, so even with my extremely sensitive skin, I was able to use it without any blemishes. I don't have many blemishes, but I noticed my complexion seemed subtly brighter. It's so nourishing that it doesn't sit on top of the skin, which is great because it doesn't pill or separate when applied before makeup or sunscreen!
ConsI wish it had a slightly stronger cooling sensation when applied.

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.

It's not sticky, feels light and moisturizing, and absorbs well into the skin.
ConsFor my dry skin, the hydration was too weak. While it seemed to spread nicely on the back of my hand, it felt stiff and didn't apply smoothly on my face. I had to keep rubbing it between my hand and face to get it to absorb. Also, since I prefer a light morning skincare routine and usually stop at essence, I thought this essence stick would work well. However, when I applied makeup over it, it caused pilling. I'd recommend this for summer use or for those with oily skin!

Before I start, I have combination dehydrated skin that's also super sensitive. It's truly genius how they managed to create a balm that can specifically target dry areas! I'm in awe. As someone sensitive to fragrances, I was relieved that this product is nearly unscented. I didn't even notice any smell while using it! The texture is fantastic - it feels lightweight and comfortable, without any stickiness or discomfort. It's like you're not wearing anything at all!
ConsUnfortunately, there might have been an ingredient that didn't agree with my skin. I noticed some bumps appearing where I applied the product. I had to stop using it immediately and I'm now trying to get rid of the reaction. I'm not sure what caused the issue...
TipWhile it didn't work for me, my mom found it suitable for her skin. I based this review on my experience using the product for 4 days.

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.Pros✔ Skin type: 21 shade, combination dehydrated skin (dry with redness in winter), doesn't suit shea butter, has blemishes from not regularly using sunscreen. I only applied this to my cheekbones and jaw area. ✔ The texture feels light and absorbs well. ✔ The small, lightweight stick is convenient to carry, and being a balm-type product, it's easy to apply with just a swipe. ✔ The ingredients are gentler compared to other products. ✔ I'm prone to immediate breakouts with incompatible products, but fortunately, I haven't experienced any with this.
ConsHmm... Although it's a blemish-targeting product, I haven't seen any effects yet. Perhaps it's because I've been using it for less than a week? Apart from that, I don't have any other complaints so far. I really hope I'll see some results with consistent use!
TipI think it would be effective to carry it around and apply it frequently along with a hydrating moisturizer!

I love the convenience of being able to apply this around my eyes, smile lines, and neck area without using my hands. The fragrance-free formula is also a big plus for me. In the morning, I lightly apply it around my eyes and smile lines, while in the evening I use it all over. It gives my makeup a more radiant finish and provides excellent hydration.
ConsThose with dry skin might find it a bit rich.

While dramatic effects are hard to see in just two weeks, it gives me peace of mind, haha. - Despite containing pore-clogging ingredients (especially stearic acid) which I'm sensitive to, it doesn't cause any blemishes.
Cons- The moisturizing power isn't high, so it's difficult to use this product alone for skincare. You need to layer something on top. - It pills over makeup... I thought it was similar to Gahee's product, but it seems less rich. Don't use it over makeup.
TipI'm using it to prevent dark spots and blemishes.

I'm currently undergoing laser treatments at a dermatology clinic as well. This product doesn't feel sticky or heavy at all when applied. It's actually so light that it feels like I haven't applied anything, just like rubbing a hydrating stick on my skin. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized. Even though I have super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes. I only applied it to my cheekbones and cheeks where my dark spots are concentrated. To be honest, as a member of The Hwahae Testers, I can't write a review claiming to see results after just a week of use. I believe these types of products need at least a month of use to show effects. However, I'm very satisfied with how it feels on my skin and the fact that it didn't cause any irritation. Since I'm using it alongside my dermatology treatments, I'm hoping it will provide additional help with my dark spots.
ConsYou can't expect to see results in just a week. You need to use it for at least a month.

I love how smoothly it goes on without any pilling. Its lightweight and convenient nature makes it perfect for use anytime, anywhere. I even found it worked well over my brightening moisturizer.
ConsI didn't really notice any significant improvement in my skin. The hydration effect was only temporary, lasting just for the moment of application.
TipApply a layer whenever your skin feels parched for an instant boost of hydration.
