Pros
I recently received this product when my skin was feeling dry, with my eye area and forehead feeling stiff, and the laugh lines around my mask seeming more pronounced. As expected from the packaging, box, product design, and name, it has a very lemony, refreshing scent. While some may not like the artificial fragrance, I personally really enjoyed it. The outer part is a tone & elasticity balm, and the yellow inner part is a spot balm. Being a balm-type, it applied smoothly and evenly. It gave a subtle glow while seamlessly coating any rough patches. While commuting in the cold wind, my skin felt less stiff. I also liked that the packaging doesn't get messy on the hands when using it.
Cons
One downside is that while it does give a coated feeling, it feels more like just the surface is being wrapped rather than fully filling in. And with the added moisture from wearing a mask, my face ended up feeling a bit oily. So after using it for a day or two, I only applied it at night after that. It's stated that it can be used throughout the day, but that seems a bit excessive. Also, the ingredients are noted as potentially irritating for sensitive skin, so I was hesitant to apply it too liberally.
Tip
It's better to apply this at night before bed rather than in the morning before going to work.

Pros
Skin Type Combination skin / Concerned with large pores and blackheads +) Review after finishing the product The effects were completely ineffective.. I've deducted one star. ✨️Fragrance The fragrance was good. It has a pleasant, subtle lemon scent. When you first apply it, the lemon scent is quite strong, but after about a minute, you don't really notice it anymore, so there won't be much dislike for the fragrance. ✨️Texture It applies smoothly and softly, without any thick or sticky feeling. ✨️Effectiveness I used it twice a day for a week, on the areas with freckles except for the eye area and T-zone. But I haven't noticed any effects yet. I can't tell if it's improving the freckles or brightening my skin tone. I'll come back after finishing the whole bottle. ✨️Formulation The formulation is good as it doesn't get mushy or crumbly when used. Stick balms often get crumbly, but this one maintains a nice, firm texture without that issue. Some say their hair doesn't stick to it, and for me, it didn't either. Maybe because I apply it quite generously. It's not extremely sticky, but it does have some tackiness.
Cons
This is why I deducted one star. After using it twice a day for a week, I noticed that half of the product is already used up, as shown in the photo. In my opinion, the cost-effectiveness is not that great. If I could see even a little bit of effect, I would consider repurchasing, but I'm not sure how many bottles I would need to see any results.
Tip
I was certain that if I applied this product on the T-zone, it would cause a breakout outbreak on my face. So I only applied it to the outer areas of my face. On the first day, I applied it only around the eyes where I have freckles, and on the second day, I also applied it around the chin area. The next day, I immediately had breakouts popping up around my chin. As soon as I stopped applying it to the chin area, it got better. *It seems to work well if you avoid applying it to the oily/sensitive areas.

Pros
🧖‍♀️Skin Type: Dry and Oily 🧡Pros - The stick format is convenient and doesn't get on my hands when applying - The texture is smooth and moisturizing - It doesn't contain artificial fragrances, so it's not irritating and has a subtle lemon scent that's not unpleasant - While oily skin may find it slightly heavy, the moisturizing power is great for use in the winter - It doesn't contain harmful ingredients, so it didn't cause any breakouts - The small and lightweight design makes it practical to carry in a bag or pouch 💚One Week Review When I first received it, the premium and clean design caught my eye. The stick format is convenient and doesn't get on my hands when applying, which I liked. Especially since I'm cautious about ingredients in cosmetics due to my sensitive skin, the fact that it's free of fragrances and harmful substances was great. I didn't experience any breakouts or irritation after using it. While the oily texture may not be suitable for year-round use for oily skin types, I think it would be great for dry areas in the winter. As for whitening or blemish improvement effects, I'll need to use it for a month or two to see the results.
Cons
💙Cons - The amount is small and the price is high - There is a slight oiliness that may not be ideal for oily skin - My skin felt a bit shiny
Tip
⭐To avoid the shininess, I applied only a small amount before bedtime and wiped it off with a pad in the morning. I think it would work better for dry skin types rather than oily.

Pros
As soon as I opened the product, a refreshing lemon scent spread, which made me feel good! :) I'm quite sensitive to scents, but this one wasn't headache-inducing, so I'm satisfied~ And when I applied the product to my skin, it felt moisturizing and absorbed well. Since it contains vitamins, it's said to also be effective in brightening the skin, so I'm even more excited about this product! It's in a stick form, so it's very convenient to apply, which I really like.
Cons
I don't think there was really any disappointing aspect to using this product~

Pros
❗Skin type = combination/sensitive skin❗ After cleansing, apply toner, serum, and then use this product. ✅ Appearance - The small size makes it convenient to carry. The cap doubles as a mirror, making it easy to apply anytime. ✅ Fragrance - The refreshing vitamin-like scent is not unpleasant. ✅ Usage - As I don't usually use night creams due to my skin type, this is relatively lightweight among night creams. While it doesn't feel as heavy as rich formulas, it may feel slightly occlusive for those with extremely oily skin. Even though it's a whitening product, it can be used during the day, which is a great advantage. However, it may not work well under makeup as it can pill. For those who don't wear much makeup these days due to mask-wearing, using it morning and night could be more effective. ✅ Absorption - It doesn't absorb super quickly, but it's not overly sticky and doesn't make the hair feel greasy. ✅ Efficacy - It's difficult to see dramatic results in terms of wrinkle improvement or whitening in the short term with functional cosmetics. I haven't noticed significant changes yet, so I plan to use it for about a month more and compare the results. Despite my sensitive skin, I haven't experienced any breakouts, so I'm satisfied so far. However, as it contains potential allergens, I recommend patch testing to see if it suits your skin. I recommend this to those who don't wear much makeup and use it both day and night.
Cons
✔The case is prone to fingerprints, which can be a concern. ✔The product has too many functions like whitening, wrinkle improvement, and blemish care, so I tend to apply it almost all over my face rather than in targeted areas. As a result, I think I'll use it up quickly. I'll need to use it more to see how effective each function is. I wouldn't recommend this to those with extremely oily skin, as it may cause breakouts.
Tip
Using a firming ampoule or whitening ampoule with similar functions together would be a good idea.

Pros
The case looks neat and clean. The lemon scent is refreshing and makes me feel good. It's not a strong lemon scent, but a subtle one, so it doesn't give me a headache and I really like it. Most sticks are very slippery or oily to get rid of the stickiness, but this one is not like that. I like that this product can address both freckles (blemishes) and whitening. The stick format is convenient to apply whenever I want, and the size is suitable to carry in a bag or pocket.
Cons
The usage period is short, so I'm not sure about the effects on whitening or blemishes. Maybe if I use it consistently, I'll be able to tell...? And when I first used it, it felt a bit sticky. But it gets better as I use it. Ah, the amount is much less than I expected.
Tip
It's good to apply it whenever I have the chance.

Pros
First of all, since it's a stick product, I really like how easy it is to apply to the desired area! The grip is also not bad, so it's a product that I really like using.☺️ The texture has an oily feel to it, but I was able to spread it without any stickiness, and the application was just right. Personally, I liked the lemon scent the most! It's not artificial and has a subtle fragrance, so I felt good even after applying it.😌 I have sensitive skin, but there were no harmful ingredients, so I didn't have any breakouts or issues. My skin felt plump and moisturized after using it, so I think I'll continue using it going forward!
Cons
Even though I haven't used it many times, I'm a bit disappointed that fingerprints are left on the case. And I'll have to use it more to see if it can really help with blemishes or freckles.

Pros
Texture - No stickiness The stick form leaves a sticky residue on the face, which I don't prefer. I was able to try this product as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, and there was absolutely no stickiness. It doesn't stick to the hair on my cheeks, and the formula is not heavy or stuffy, which I like. Scent - Refreshing lemon Unlike typical cosmetic scents, this has a subtle lemon fragrance that is not off-putting. Easy to use After cleansing and finishing my skincare routine, I apply this. It glides on smoothly without being too thick.
Cons
After applying skincare, the surface feels slippery, making it difficult to open.
Tip
Apply a few times a day directly on bare skin

Pros
First, I was happy that there were no harmful ingredients. The stick form was easy to apply. The scent was a light citrus, like lemon, which I liked as I prefer unscented or naturally light-scented skincare products for the face, unlike body or hair mists. I've been applying it around my eyes or dry areas, and so far it hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts, and I've been using it comfortably.
Cons
I'm satisfied with the product itself, but the case tends to get fingerprints easily, which is a bit disappointing. And the amount is a bit small, so I wish there was a larger volume. (Stick-type products generally have less product than more moisturizing formulas, but they do last longer. Still, a bit more would be better.) You can see the amount in the 3rd photo - this is after I twisted it all the way out from a brand new product.
Tip
(At first, when I started using it right after receiving it, I thought it was applied a bit thickly. But when I used it after leaving it at room temperature, it applied more smoothly.) I recommend warming it up a bit, either by keeping it in a warm place or by gently warming it against your skin before applying, and that should improve the application experience.
