Compared to the famous G* multi-balm, this one feels less oily, making it a better choice for touch-ups. It's almost like they've released a stick balm specifically for oily skin types. (Of course, individual experiences may vary.) When applied to the face, it doesn't give that super shiny, greasy look like the G* stick product, so it feels less heavy. Plus, the ingredients are gentler, which is great!
ConsThere's a slight herbal scent and that characteristic warming sensation of herbal products. If you're sensitive to fragrances or have delicate skin around your eyes, it might be best to do a patch test first. While the warming sensation doesn't last as long as some organic sunscreens, there is a moment of 'hmm...?' for about 1-2 minutes after application.
Tip1. When you first use it, the balm might feel a bit stiff. However, after warming it up with your body heat once or twice, it glides on smoothly. I recommend trying it on your wrist first - if it slides easily, then it's ready to use on your face. 2. For those who experience flaky skin during seasonal changes or in winter, this is a great emergency fix when you're out and about. I sometimes get dry patches on my nose or forehead, and this balm was perfect for quick touch-ups.

Personally, I found it quite pleasant. Appearance: White glue stick-like / Light and perfectly sized for the hand. I love that the cap doesn't pop open if you drop it. Application: Glides on smoothly without any effort. Despite being a solid stick, it doesn't crumble. Texture: Feels refreshingly cool when applied. Ingredients: Probably due to the absence of harmful substances, it doesn't cause any blemishes.
ConsI'll need to use it longer to gauge its lasting power. Being a balm, there's a slight stickiness. While it has a twist-up design, it lacks an inner cap, which is a bit disappointing from a hygiene perspective.
TipMy morning routine involves applying this balm to my face after cleansing and toning, followed by sunscreen.

ConsAreas for improvement: • Divisive scent (lingering menthol or cleansing product fragrance) • Insufficient hydration for dry and combination skin (may need multiple layers) • Short-lasting moisturizing effect (frequent reapplication might be necessary) • Somewhat firm texture like a lip balm, slightly compromising the absorbs
TipHaving tried other multi-balms, I know most can be greasy and oily, making them less ideal for outdoor use. This one, however, is perfect for on-the-go application.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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 product has a clean and simple design that emphasizes functionality, with a refreshing herbal scent. As someone with extremely sensitive skin who rarely uses skincare products, I'm most impressed by how gentle it is, causing no blemishes at all. After using it for over a week, I feel like my skin is more refined and supple when I wake up in the morning. It doesn't leave a greasy feeling but provides hydration, making the Atopalm Stick Balm suitable for use when going out. Compared to the Gahee stick I've used before, which sometimes felt excessively oily with an artificial scent, Atopalm has a pleasant, calming herbal fragrance. It moisturizes the skin and creates a barrier to prevent water loss, even with a quick application. During the changing seasons, I applied only essence and the Atopalm Stick Balm multiple times all over my face, and I didn't feel dry at all. It seems to lock in moisture well, giving the impression that wrinkles have slightly faded, but I'll likely use it frequently for its hydrating properties.
ConsPerhaps due to the colder weather, the absorption isn't great, making it slightly uncomfortable to apply on sensitive areas. The lasting power also seems a bit inferior compared to Gahee. As a result, I find myself reapplying more frequently. Other than that, I have no complaints!
TipWhen the stick becomes hard and difficult to apply, placing it on the skin for a moment allows it to melt quickly, making it easy to spread smoothly. Initially, I applied it without knowing and found it painful on sensitive areas like around the eyes. To use effectively, moisturize the skin first, then apply the stick balm like a coating on areas prone to wrinkles. Gently melt and spread it using the warmth of your hands. This way, you can cover your face sufficiently with a small amount without needing to apply it all over. Remember to reapply frequently whenever you think of it.

It doesn't look greasy either. However, when you touch your skin, you can feel the moisturizer rather than bare skin. It goes on lightly and smoothly. Sometimes I worry about getting product on things when I sleep or move around, but with this product, I don't have that concern, which is great. The scent is pleasantly herbal and fragrant. I needed a stick-type moisturizer, so I'm using this one very happily. It's super convenient when my skin is dry but I don't want to apply product with my hands.
ConsIt doesn't absorb quite as well in cold weather. Since it's best to reapply after about 4 hours, it might not be suitable for those looking for intense hydration or long-lasting moisture.
TipIf it's a bit harder to apply due to cold weather, try gently patting it onto your skin as you apply.

Stickiness I liked that it wasn't very sticky. It wasn't completely non-sticky, but it wasn't bothersome. 2. Convenience I appreciated that it's a stick form, so I could apply it easily without getting it on my hands. 'I haven't seen the effects yet, so I might update this review after using it a bit longer.'
Cons1. Hygiene I was concerned about the hygiene, as you keep using the part that's been in contact with your skin. 2. Scent I'm quite sensitive to scents, and this one wasn't to my liking. It had a sort of sour smell that I found off-putting from the moment I applied it. Of course, the scent doesn't last long and either fades or you get used to it. 3. Application This was my first time using a stick balm, and it was harder than I expected, making it uncomfortable to apply around the nose. When it first arrived, the center was slightly sunken in, like when you melt a lipstick and let it solidify, which made it even more inconvenient to use. 4. Effectiveness Perhaps because my skin hasn't been in the best condition lately, I didn't notice much effect.
