The formulation seems to be watery and absorbs well!
ConsI had to stop using it right away because I broke out immediately. I didn't even have a chance to see any pore-minimizing effects.

First of all, it's a bit small in size!! It fits in one hand like the picture!! After cleansing, I applied it all over my face, and it definitely gave a tightening effect on my pores! After applying this, my skin really becomes firm and tight!! So I think if I use this before makeup, my makeup will go on really well with the tightened skin! It seems like it can be used as a serum for better makeup application.
ConsThe next day after using this, blackheads increased and pimples appeared :( And since the formulation of this product is very dense, it felt quite heavy for my oily skin type :( Those who dislike a sticky finish should think it over :( I'm now only applying a small amount to the areas with enlarged pores.
TipApply it to the areas that makeup adheres well to, and then apply makeup. This makes it possible to use the Hwahae serum.

ConsI bought it because they said it's good for sensitive skin, but I'm having breakouts.

I can't say it has a dramatic effect yet since I've only been using it for a few days, but it does have some effect!! The price also doesn't seem too bad~!! I'm only applying it to my nose right now, and the 30ml bottle should last me quite a while.
ConsI used to apply it only to the nose and cheek area, but even though I don't usually have much trouble in the cheek area, after applying it, a lot of trouble came up in the cheek area. So I'm only using it on my nose now.

My husband and I have been using this product and the cream from here together, and he has been using it very comfortably.
ConsSince we were using it together, it was consumed very quickly, so I had to purchase it frequently. While I was using it, my skin started to get worse, so I thought it might not be suitable for me and used only this product, but there was no improvement. My skin became irritated, with breakouts all over my face. While my husband uses it comfortably, as someone with sensitive and dry skin, I'll have to pass on this. It's a shame.

It seems there is nothing else like it..ㅠ
ConsFirst, I only applied it to the Nabi Zone, but after applying it, small bumps came up severely in that area ㅠㅜ When I stopped using it, it immediately subsided Since I haven't used it for very long, I'm not sure about the pore effects, but it seems it just doesn't agree with my skin 🥲 And the texture also feels like it doesn't absorb very well.. It has a very oily feeling.

Since it was used by someone with dry skin, it seems a bit moisturizing. This is the first time I've reviewed it so negatively on the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. The fragrance-free aspect was also a good point. The dropper is also on the soft side.
ConsAt first, I didn't know it was because of this, and I used it about 3 times, but somehow the absorption didn't seem very good and there was a sticky finish that was a bit itchy... It was so strong that I didn't apply it right away, and then I ended up getting inflammatory acne... I also applied it to my neck, but my neck is still itchy. I'm not sure if it's the peptide ingredients or what, but if I apply more, it seems like it will just be covered in inflammation... I don't usually get pimples, but the dropper also doesn't have a middle cap, so if you're not careful when putting it in, it can flow to the side... I probably won't buy it with my own money.

It's a serum with a light finishing touch that would be good for oily skin types to use in the summer. As a combination skin type, I felt it was a bit drying to use on its own, so I used it in combination with other products.
ConsFor some reason, I had a huge breakout around my jawline on the first day of using it. The finish didn't feel very substantial, and I felt a sense of dryness, so it felt too light for me to use on its own. The packaging was a bit disappointing too - the glass bottle has a plastic cap that feels like it could scratch the glass when opening and closing, and there's no pump or dispenser, so the leftover serum on the dropper can get messy when you're using it. It was a bit disappointing overall.

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 formula has a runny texture, and it may feel a bit sticky when first applied, but it absorbs quickly and leaves a soft, smooth finish. The gentle ingredients provide peace of mind for safe usage, while the functional properties deliver effective results.
ConsI have been struggling with whiteheads and closed comedones. A few years ago, my skin condition significantly worsened, and I particularly suffered from closed comedones. I diligently visited a dermatologist and followed a strict home care routine, which helped improve my skin greatly. However, after using this product, my closed comedones and folliculitis have resurfaced. The photos don't show the details clearly, but in person, the condition looks very distressing. I initially didn't suspect the product, but by the third day of discontinuing use, the breakouts have not worsened further. I'm not sure which ingredient in the product doesn't agree with my skin. As shown in the second and third photos, my cheeks and forehead have become reddish and bumpy, and the unevenness is more pronounced under certain lighting. I had been applying a small amount to my cheeks and forehead, but the breakouts have spread across those areas, causing me a lot of stress.
TipPlease do a patch test on a small area first before full application.
