For winter use, a slightly richer texture would have been better, but this seems just right for use throughout the year. There is a stronger sense of moisture than oiliness, and it feels gentle. The fragrance-free aspect is also nice.
ConsIt takes a bit of time to absorb, so you'll need to massage it in for a while.

It seems to be a cream suitable for use from spring to fall when the skin is easily dried and sensitive.
ConsThe price-to-volume or container is disappointing. Tube or pump type would have been more convenient.

My mother, who has extremely sensitive skin, and I, who have moderately sensitive skin, both experienced no irritation and felt our skin was nourished and strengthened. The smooth application was matched by a sturdy, resilient skin feel. Creams with excessive nutrients can sometimes cause blemishes, no matter how good the ingredients are. But this product provided a refreshing yet deeply moisturizing and fortifying experience without any such concerns. While I started using this product through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, I would consider purchasing it once I finish my current cream.
ConsHaving to scoop the product with your hands or use a spatula is a bit worrying, as it could lead to contamination from your hands or degradation of the product through oxygen exposure.

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 fact that it's quite ordinary can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. The moisturizing power, spreadability, and finish are all quite average. The texture is somewhere between Cetaphil's existing body lotion and cream - it spreads on smoothly without leaving a greasy residue and gets absorbed quickly, leaving a refreshing finish without any lingering moisturizing film. The good absorption means it won't interfere with makeup application, which is nice, but if you're looking for a rich cream to use even at night in the dead of winter, you may feel a bit disappointed like me. I'm part of the Hwahae Trial Reviewer group and this is Cetaphil's first facial line (I've been using their body lotion really well), so I honestly had high expectations for the moisturizing power, but it's just a bit too ordinary and I couldn't really find a standout selling point for this product. Nowadays, there are many affordable creams that are quite satisfactory, so I felt a bit let down. Also, I was a bit surprised that the seal was not intact right after opening, and the lid itself feels a bit loose and doesn't close tightly... I'm not sure if that's just an issue with my particular product. Lastly, while it doesn't have a chemical fragrance, it has a strong, almost ointment-like scent that I wasn't used to from Cetaphil's body line. Recent Korean cosmetics are mostly truly fragrance-free, so I was a bit taken aback at first, but it's okay since it's not an artificial fragrance.
ConsI would recommend this as a daily or all-season cream, but if you're looking for a cream that will consistently work for you even in the dead of winter, I would not recommend this... I have combination skin that tends to get dry.

There was no particular fragrance, and after applying the ampoule heavily, the cream also finished softly. If you apply too much, it has a tendency to float, so it's better to take a little and apply it. After application, the skin tone seemed to be maintained a little whiter! When I swatched it on the back of my hand, the applied area became brighter, but it's not a whitening effect, it seems to be because the dryness has improved.
ConsAs for the moisture or moisturizing... I'm not sure about that. ㅜㅜ I thought the name 'Glow' would mean a moist finish, but it's rather powdery. This part was a bit disappointing.
TipIf you layer it on the dry areas, the makeup will not lift or last well even in the afternoon!

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.ProsA creamy texture reminiscent of drinkable yogurt / Fragrance-free / Smooth and easy to apply / Appropriate moisture and hydration / Not sticky / Absorbs quickly / Good for combination and dry skin / Great for use in the winter This cream has a texture that spreads smoothly and leaves a nicely moisturized, refreshing finish. At first, I thought it might be a bit oily, but after the recent sharp drop in temperature, the balance of oil and moisture was just perfect! My dry and sensitive-skinned younger brother usually only uses La Roche-Posay's Cicaplast Baume, but after trying this, he really likes the finish and wants to keep using it. This is a great cream for winter use, and I'd recommend it to those who like an appropriate oil-moisture balance and a refreshing finish! As someone who mainly uses dewy sunscreens and semi-glowy base makeup, this has been a very satisfactory basic skincare product for me. I'm curious to see how it works with the serum from the same line.
Cons- The container size and price don't match the relatively small amount of product - The jar packaging means dust can easily get in (I think a tube would be better)
Tip- I used this cream with a watery, gel-like serum with a lot of moisture, and they seemed to work well together. - Apply a thin layer and let it absorb, then add more if needed!! (I was careful about the amount after reading another Hwahae user's review, and it really does make a difference - thanks for the great tip!😀)

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.ProsI used the Cetaphil body lotion as a cream substitute on my face in the winter, and this cream designed for the face felt much more adhering. Even though I have oily skin, it absorbed well and didn't leave any residue or greasiness, and felt refreshing. The texture is similar to the Cetaphil body lotion, and the oiliness and moisture feel about the same. When I apply it at night and go to sleep, my skin feels soft and smooth in the morning. My repurchase intention is around 60%, but only for the winter season!
ConsThe volume is small compared to the packaging. It's a basic moisturizing cream. Those with dry skin may feel it lacks sufficient moisturizing power. But for my oily skin, it felt refreshing in the winter.
TipApplying it around the eyes and lips is better than using an eye cream. Eye creams can feel greasy, but this doesn't leave a greasy feeling.

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.ProsMy skin is dry and sensitive, with a lot of blemishes and marks. This cream has a slightly heavier texture than a regular moisturizer, but it's not sticky and has a refreshing finish. I really like it. My face tends to get very dry, especially in the winter, to the point where it feels cracked, but I don't like heavy, greasy products. This one is moisturizing and hydrating without making my skin feel suffocated or tight. I've been using it every night and haven't experienced any irritation or breakouts. It seems gentle enough for sensitive skin.
ConsSince it's a jar-type, it's not the most hygienic. The lid seems a bit flimsy, so there's a risk of it opening all the way and spilling the contents. There's no protective cap, so when you open the lid, the product is just sitting there, which was a bit startling. Probably due to shipping, the cream seemed a bit separated and unevenly distributed, even though it was a new product. The cream has a distinctive 'wet wipe' kind of scent that may be divisive. I personally didn't like it, but it's not overpowering.
TipThis cream alone may not be enough to fully hydrate the skin, so using it in conjunction with a serum like Cetaphil would be a good idea.

For my oily skin, a single application was sufficient.
ConsThe price, volume, and packaging were disappointing. The usage experience was good, similar to Cetaphil body lotion - not heavy and refreshing. However, a tube-type packaging would have been more convenient. Considering the price, buying it individually felt a bit burdensome, as it was not a '1+1' offer.
TipWhile not a tip, I found that using an exfoliating toner along with the Cetaphil facial lotion helped balance the oil and moisture levels, and this worked well for me.
