  Pros

  After giving birth, my skin became extremely sensitive and dry. I had high expectations for this traditional Korean cosmetic product! As expected, a small amount goes a long way with its rich and absorbing formula that sinks right into the skin. The packaging design is also so beautiful that I plan to gift it to my mother-in-law in the future.

  Cons

  Since my skin is really sensitive, the product absorbed well but also caused some breakouts. It seems it's better to use a smaller amount rather than applying too much.

  Tip

  The best tip seems to be applying it in the evening after cleansing, rather than in the morning or afternoon. Applying it before bed and waking up with firmer skin is definitely noticeable.

  Pros

  This is a review by the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. The formulation has a thick, viscous feel to it. I felt it was a bit heavier than the CNP Propolis Ampoule. It has a brownish hue and a slight oily sheen. When applied, it spreads smoothly and evenly, and the absorption is not as slow as one might expect from such a thick formula. There is a slight stickiness due to the formulation, but it didn't feel overly suffocating or bothersome, perhaps because the weather is still dry. However, as the formula seems very nourishing and heavy, those with dry skin may need to ensure sufficient hydration before using this as an essence, to avoid dryness. When I used this product alone, I did feel a slight tightness. I'm not sure if it's due to this product, but I felt my facial contours looked slightly more defined. However, I didn't notice any dramatic or immediately visible changes.

  Cons

  Looking at the ingredients, there seem to be a number of fermented or extracted components. I'm not sure if it was one of those that didn't agree with me, or if the overall nutrient content was too much, but after about 3 days of using this product, I started developing some small blemishes and my complexion looked dull. After discontinuing use of this product and reverting to my usual skincare, the issues resolved within about 2 days. Curious, I tried using this product again, but within 2 days, the blemishes reappeared, and I realized this product just doesn't work for me. I would recommend that those who are sensitive to fermented or herbal ingredients do a patch test first before using this product.

  Pros

  The texture was not too runny or too thick, so the application was smooth. Among the Korean herbal products I've tried, the absorption was also quite good. As a combination skin type, the product was more oily than moisturizing, so I only applied it at night as it felt too heavy in the morning. However, the moisturizing power was great, so it would likely be better suited for dry skin types. I didn't notice much of a whitening effect, but the wrinkle improvement seemed somewhat effective, though I'm not sure if it's just temporary.

  Cons

  A few days later, the small blemishes around my mouth that appeared on the first day went away, but I suspect it was due to the oiliness. The scent... While it's understandable for a Korean herbal product, the fragrance was too strong and noticeable every time I applied it, which was disappointing. The glass container was also too heavy and the grip wasn't comfortable, making it inconvenient to use.
