Although it's called a balm, the texture is similar to a regular emulsion and I love that it's not too heavy. When my skin feels dry, I slather it on generously at night, and after washing my face the next morning, I notice the dryness has significantly improved!
ConsThe scent is a bit disappointing. It's not exactly unpleasant, and to be honest, it's close to being fragrance-free. But there's a slight smell that reminds me of wood glue? It's not overpowering, but it's noticeable.
TipApply this regularly on dry days and your skin will bounce back to health in no time.

Though it's called a balm, it's quite fluid, making it easy to apply. It absorbs well and gives my face a nice glow, which I love. I was initially hesitant after checking the ingredients on Hwahae, but I've used about three tubes without any blemishes!
ConsIt has a slight scent reminiscent of wood glue. It's the same fragrance found in the Trixera emulsion, but it's neither headache-inducing nor overpowering. I've been using both the Trixera emulsion and balm together without issues!
TipFor my night care routine, I first thoroughly hydrate my skin with Avène Hydrance emulsion. Then, I apply an appropriate amount of Trixera emulsion, followed by small amounts of Trixera balm, allowing each layer to absorb well.

Despite its name, it has a fluid emulsion-like texture that absorbs well and penetrates the skin easily. Even a small amount gives a dewy effect, making makeup adhere beautifully. It never feels sticky over time and leaves the skin feeling smooth.
ConsThose with oily skin might find the glow a bit intense. While I don't mind it, some people might not appreciate the scent.
TipIn the morning, I just apply this alone. At night, I layer it over aloe vera gel. Once it's dry, I go to sleep and wake up with beautifully hydrated skin. For extra winter nighttime hydration, mix in a drop of facial oil - you won't need any additional moisturizer!

If you take out the scent, it's quite decent.
ConsThe fragrance is too unpleasant, and it has a fishy smell. It would be better if it were unscented, but the fishy odor is so repulsive that I can't use it. I used it on my body, and the smell permeated my clothes, which is the worst.

The price is also affordable.
ConsThe scent is too unpleasant ㅠㅠ It's just okay right after application (though not great either) But after a while, it starts to smell rancid and disgusting, like rotten eggs...The smell makes it unusable.

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.ProsFirst, let me tell you about my skin - it has a lot of blemishes and is combination skin. It's also quite sensitive. I absolutely cannot use regular brightening functional moisturizing creams, and can only use pure lotions and moisturizers. Even toners cause a lot of stinging, so I don't use them unless I'm doing a sheet mask. (My cheeks are dry and irritated, but my T-zone is oily) Above all, I really prioritize hydration. I can tell when I'm well-hydrated, especially when I wake up in the morning! That's why I think the Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is the best. The application itself just feels like a surface-level application, but when I wake up in the morning, it's fully absorbed into my skin and my skin isn't dry at all. I've already gone through more than a large tube of it. I also think Avène products work really well synergistically with my other skincare. And for my sensitive skin that often feels stinging, I feel like Avène products are the gentlest. 1. I've never been able to find the right moisturizer. 2. I often feel stinging. -> The Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is the one!
ConsIf I had to mention any downsides, it's that it has no scent at all. And while it's good to use on both the body and face, I feel like I go through it quite quickly because of that. It's expensive relative to how quickly I use it up. Whenever I buy the Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream, I end up buying other Avène products as well, and it's usually at least 50,000 won (around $50) minimum.

The amount is generous.
ConsThe scent is somewhat unpleasant, and it feels too oily, not providing enough moisture.
