I usually can't live without creams for my dry skin type, but using just anything can cause sudden breakouts. So when buying creams, I always look for low-irritation, soothing, and fragrance-free options. The Nisdeum Berrybalm is said to protect the skin's barrier, with German patented ingredients for soothing and French patented ingredients for strengthening the barrier. Ingredients from powerhouse skincare countries like Germany and France - this is really exciting! The packaging is very basic, and the texture is thicker and richer than regular creams. The instructions that came with the product said to skip toner and apply this generously, so I did just that. Wow... this is no joke. It really feels like it's deeply hydrating my dry skin. This could significantly cut down my skincare routine. Of course, more isn't always better, but this feels amazing. Since it's so gentle, there's no irritation or breakouts. The only potential downside is that the rich texture might make makeup application a bit tricky, but if I work it in well, it should be fine. I've recommended this to my sister who has dry skin - she can trust this product!
ConsIt's labeled as fragrance-free, but it does have a bit of a medicinal scent. It's not extremely unpleasant, but it does have more of a pharmaceutical vibe than a cosmetic one. However, it's still tolerable.

First of all, I'm quite sensitive to scents, so products with artificial or strong fragrances are usually difficult for me to use as they tend to irritate my face. But this product is unscented, which I really appreciate, and it has only a faint ointment-like smell that is not at all bothersome. The tube packaging is convenient and hygienic to use. The texture is thinner than typical balm formulas, which makes it easier to apply compared to other balm products. (However, it still has a rich, creamy feel as a balm, so I wouldn't recommend using a thick layer before makeup, but it's great for nighttime care or as a base before sunscreen in the morning.) My skin type is combination/redness/large pores/blemishes/uneven texture, and my cheeks are the most sensitive area - even slightly irritating products can cause redness and itchiness. But I didn't experience any of those issues with this product at all!! It seems to have strengthened my skin barrier, as the redness has significantly faded and I was even surprised to see my butterfly-area pores become smaller. After cleansing in the evening, just using this balm along with one toner step is enough to keep my skin from feeling tight the next morning. I highly recommend this to anyone dealing with sensitivity, dryness, and large pores!👍🏻
Cons- Slight ointment-like scent - Blemishes don't clear up super quickly (takes some time) These two points may vary depending on individual skin types, but even listing them, they're quite minor. For those with similar skin types to mine, I still highly recommend this product!👍🏻
TipJust applying this balm after toner is enough to address dryness and provide effective skincare - it's a real lifesaver! I'd definitely recommend purchasing this product.>_<

It's super moisturizing when applied, but the finish feels a bit heavy. The formula is slightly more occlusive than the Atopic Concentrate Cream. I find it too heavy to use on my face, so I've been applying it thinly like a body lotion on my arms and legs. It's definitely helped with my keratosis pilaris, and my skin stays moisturized the next day!
ConsThe scent is kind of like an ointment..? It's a bit oily in type, so I'd not recommend it for oily or combination skin types...
TipTry it as a body cream!!

As I've gotten older, my main skin concern has been dealing with dryness. But as the weather has gotten warmer again, the cream feels a bit stuffy and heavy, so I've been applying a light lotion during the day and only a thin layer of cream at night. But then my skin would get extremely dehydrated again in the afternoon after makeup. Then I won the Ultra Relief Barrier Balm Hwahae Trial Reviewer, and contrary to my expectation that it would be heavy and stuffy since it's called a "balm", it actually feels lightweight when applied to the face!??? So I've been using it every day, day and night, and I'll tell you the characteristics and advantages I've experienced: 🤗 Texture and Application The texture is similar to a regular cream! It's a bit thicker than a runny cream, but the application is still good! As you can see in the photo, even though it's a bit thick, the application is smooth! It has a slightly weighted lotion-like feel! 🤗 Scent To me, it has a slight ointment-like scent! The scent is almost fragrance-free, but when applying, there's a faint ointment-like smell, but not to the point of being bothersome. 🤗 Moisturizing Power 👍🏻 The biggest advantage of this product is the moisturizing power!!! As the weather got warmer, I found the cream too heavy to use in the mornings, so I'd just apply a thin lotion and do my makeup. But then my skin would get extremely dehydrated in the afternoon. So I started using this product in the mornings, and surprisingly, it wasn't heavy or stuffy at all, and my skin didn't feel dehydrated in the afternoon either!!! The moisturizing power is really great, truly 👍🏻👍🏻 🤗 Skin Protection (?) The product description said to try using this product alone after cleansing if your skin is sensitive. In my case, after extractions or when my skin was really dry, I layered this cream a couple times over a light ampoule, and the next day, there was no inflammation or irritation from the extractions, which was great! Sometimes after using my usual skincare products post-extraction, I'd still get some inflammation in a few areas, but this time the inflammation didn't flare up much, and the dryness also decreased a bit! So after that, at night I'd do an ampoule layer I apply a few drops of oil on my palm, rub it in, and then apply two layers of this product on my face.😃 Since my skin is sensitive and tends to get irritated sometimes, I think this will be really helpful to use during those times!!! I'm so satisfied that this is a moisturizing product that I can use even as the weather gets warmer.👍🏻❣️
ConsThe disappointing aspect is that it has a slight ointment-like scent! Since I've lived with acne-prone skin, I've had to apply ointment a lot, so the feeling of applying it all over my face felt a bit strange.🫠 However, the scent is not overpowering, and it's just a faint whiff that doesn't bother me. Apart from that, my face has no blemishes, and when I apply this cream and put on makeup, I don't feel any dryness, so there are no downsides.😃
TipUsing 2-3 drops of oil together is also excellent for dry skin types, providing a sleeping pack-like feel!

Cons- Personally, I don't mind a sticky texture, but when I applied this, it felt a bit sticky and had a slightly medicinal scent... It's close to being unscented, but there was a subtle medicinal smell and thickness that I couldn't ignore - The finish was powdery and refreshing, so I woke up feeling good, but since my skin is dry, there might have been a bit more oil production than before applying it

If I use incompatible cosmetics, redness can appear quickly, and hives and pimples can easily form. So I only use a couple of products that suit my skin, and the Niacinamide Ultra Relief Barrier Balm is great to use alone after exercise during the day. The German and French patented ingredients gave me more confidence, and after using it, I didn't experience any trouble. Even though it's a balm-type cream, it absorbs well and leaves a coated feeling on the skin. I just apply this cream and a light sunscreen, and it doesn't feel heavy. Immediately after use, my skin feels firmly attached and gains a tightened, elastic sensation. The tube packaging is convenient to use - I can squeeze out just the right amount without waste. After using it for a week, my skin seems to have become healthier.
ConsThe fragrance is a bit disappointing, as even though it's fragrance-free, there is still a cream-specific scent that reminds me of an ointment.

I am a person with passive peeling, cracking, and lifting when applying makeup, despite being cured of atopic dermatitis due to overuse of steroid drugs for acne and atopic dermatitis. While naturally becoming interested in skin barrier and regenerative creams, I applied for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. To start with the conclusion, I think it would generally be helpful to many people. (The reason why it may not be for me or the sensitive skin is regrettable) I forgot it was a night-type formulation and applied it generously like a cream before bed. When I woke up and washed my face, my skin was smooth and shiny✨ It seems to be the first time my skin has become this smooth, other than when using prescription drugs, so I thought it wasn't washed off enough and washed my face diligently, but it was just my skin.ʘOʘ As it is not quite a moisturizer and is a balm-type, for those with dry to very dry skin, it would be good to use it like a coating after sufficient skin care. For those with oily skin, the glossy balm-type formulation may be burdensome, so it would be a good idea to absorb it properly and use oil paper. When used, it comes up glossy and shiny like a glow, but it's not heavy or oily, but due to the sticky nature of the balm, dust tends to stick to it...(small dust particles attached to the face in the usage photo can be confirmed) For the same reason, it is not recommended to use it before makeup, but it seems fine to use it lightly for a glow and care without makeup.
Cons1. Fragrance As a fragrance-free user, there are times when I notice a scent similar to that of a prescription drug, even though it's supposed to be fragrance-free. 2. Small tube opening If you only need to apply it to a localized area, it's not an issue, but if you want to broadly cover the entire face for a subtle glow, it can feel a bit constricted when squeezing it out. 3. Caution for sensitive users It seems there are some ingredients that don't agree with me. Around a week before using it, my skin had flared up and recovered, but after using it generously for a few days, it flared up again. Upon further investigation, I found there was a common ingredient that was likely the culprit. My whole face feels like it has a mild atopic dermatitis, becoming dry, slightly reddened, and itchy... Other than that, I'm quite satisfied with it and would like to continue using it, but I'll need to soothe my skin and test it again to confirm if this is indeed the cause. I've also seen some reviews mentioning that it caused pimples for some people. ★ I recommend that sensitive users check if there are any ingredients that don't agree with them before using this product.
TipWhile it may not feel heavy, the formula can be burdensome or cause makeup to slide for those with oily skin. Applying it after your nighttime skincare routine and then washing your face in the morning leaves your skin feeling wonderfully smooth and supple.

Moisturizing This product has good moisturizing power. As a dry-skinned person, I have to apply moisturizing cream every 3 hours, but I don't get a single pimple - this is the ultimate dry skin experience. The moisturizing effect lasts after just one application, and while it's not as good as some other brands, it can still be ranked quite highly in terms of moisturizing performance. 2. Skin Troubles With my sensitive dry skin, there were no skin irritations, redness, or breakouts, despite the lack of irritating ingredients. Even though it's stated that there are no irritating ingredients, there can sometimes be incompatible ingredients that cause the skin to become sensitive, but I didn't experience any such side effects. 3. Skin Barrier While I can't objectively see the improvement in my skin barrier, I definitely feel that my skin has become healthier. I no longer have that unsettling feeling of my skin being about to flip over, which I used to experience when my skin was sensitive. This is especially helpful during the seasonal changes.
Cons1. Fragrance The fragrance is definitely something that will divide opinions. It's not unscented, but it's not a pleasant fragrance either. It has a slightly artificial, silicone-like smell, with a hint of floral notes added to it. 2. Oiliness The moisturizing effect is not like a rich balm or buttery texture, but rather an oily one. After application, it feels like you've applied a face oil, where the moisture is trapped in an oily layer. However, it's not overly greasy or uncomfortable to the point of feeling like it's smearing around.

I'm so happy and grateful to have found a cream I really like. It's not irritating, absorbs well, and is moisturizing without being sticky. I don't think there will be strong likes or dislikes, as it's an intensive and very nourishing cream. It's far from having a watery feel. - It has a similar feel to Physiogel, but I had issues with Physiogel causing my skin to become dehydrated in the past. This, however, seems even gentler and less oily, with a plump, moisture-packed cream texture. - Since the ingredients are gentle, there's no stinging or anything like that, and my skin feels comfortable. It strengthens the skin barrier without any tightness. I plan to repurchase!! - And unlike some moisturizing creams that feel hydrating when applied but then lose moisture and become drying after a while, this one keeps my skin deeply moisturized for hours. Applying too much can always be a concern for causing breakouts, but now I think moderate skincare is best, rather than excessive nourishment. - It feels a bit heavier than expected when applying, so I was worried it might feel greasy or slide around under makeup, but not at all! I had no issues with breakouts during use. I'm using this both day and night.
ConsThe scent is described as fragrance-free, but it has a slightly chemical, pungent smell. It's hard to describe, almost like a rubber smell. So I wouldn't recommend this for those very sensitive to fragrances.
TipApply a generous amount, especially around the eye area and cheeks, before bed. For dry and combination skin types! When you wake up in the morning, the moisturization will still be there, which is very satisfying.

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.ProsI used the product for a total of one week, and my skin type is combination, leaning more towards oily. The best part was that the product kept my skin moisturized and comfortable. Just applying this alone made my skin feel smooth and supple, so I didn't need to use any additional lotions. It also didn't irritate my skin, so it was easy to apply without any discomfort. It also seemed to help fade redness on my skin quickly, so it was effective in soothing my skin as well. The fragrance is similar to an ointment, but I actually preferred the pharmaceutical-like scent over a typical cosmetic fragrance. Since it seems to be fragrance-free, I feel more assured about using it. And even though it's a night cream, it applies creamily and has good spreadability.
ConsThe disappointing thing is... I developed some closed comedones (small bumps) after using this. Since my skin type is oily, and it's almost summer, I think the product was a bit too rich in terms of oil content. However, it might be different if I tried it in the winter.
