It gives you that sense of improving your complexion. It's convenient to carry around, and I think it's helping to lighten my dark circles.
ConsIt feels a bit rich, which might make your skin feel slightly oily. The price is a bit higher than expected, which is somewhat disappointing.
TipThe yellow color comes from the vitamins. Try applying it around your eyes and on your C-zone for best results.

I'm not sure about the whitening effects yet, but the scent is nice and I'm generally satisfied.
ConsI bought it during a sale, so the price was reasonable, but the regular price seems a bit high. It's somewhat sticky, so it's better to avoid applying it to the face area.

It has a somewhat vitamin-like scent, but it's not too strong, so it was fine! At first, I was worried it might be greasy since it's nighttime, but this isn't a greasy type, so that was good! The moisture and oil balance seems just right!! It's a vitamin balm, but I'm using it like a regular balm!! Lately, I've had a lot of peeling on my lips, so I applied it just in case..and it was fine!! Overall: A vitamin balm with no bad elements!
ConsHmm, first of all, I have dry skin and it's gotten quite dry with the arrival of fall ㅠㅠ While it has vitamin functions, I was hoping the moisturizing would be better, but it seems a bit lacking ㅠㅠ Would using it as a toner make the effects show up faster..? Even though it's only been about 2 weeks, the whitening effect doesn't seem that significant..I guess I'll have to use it more, but the amount is a bit disappointing ㅠㅠㅠ Overall: I wish the moisturizing and whitening effects could be a bit better!

With the weather getting colder lately, my skin has been getting dry, but using this ampoule balm stick has made my skin feel moisturized and helped improve blemishes. I'll continue to use it with confidence and will come back to post another review after finishing the whole product!
ConsThe amount is a bit disappointing considering the price... Using the stick balm habitually, I feel like I'll go through it quite quickly.
TipThe lemon scent is quite strong, but I find that tapping it around my ears also works as a kind of perfume, leaving a pleasant fragrance that lasts.

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.
ConsThis 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.
TipI 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.

I applied it in two layers after my skin toner, and it worked well for layering. I purposely used this only at night before bed, as the vitamin ingredients are more effective without sun exposure. I didn't apply a lotion afterwards, and I didn't feel overly dry. ✔ Packaging: It's great that I can just open the lid and smoothly apply it. ✔ Fragrance: This may be a matter of personal preference, but I enjoyed the subtle citrus scent.
Cons✔ Small Amount: Considering the regular price, I feel the amount is a bit small. There is only a small solid balm portion as shown by the yellow part on the packaging, and while it lasts a while since it's solid, it still feels a bit lacking.
TipIt's best to apply this before bedtime, as it can be a bit tacky. The subtle fragrance is quite nice. While I haven't noticed dramatic whitening effects yet after about a week of use, I've been consistently applying it to the areas with discoloration, and it seems to be helping.

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.Pros🤍 Skin Type: My cheeks and chin are close to dry, while my nose and forehead are severely oily, making it a combination skin type! 🤍 Texture: Since it's in a balm form rather than a cream, it has a thicker and stickier feel compared to a moisturizing cream. It had a similar feel to a rich, nourishing cream. The stick format is not powdery or waxy, but incredibly smooth and glossy, gliding on the face effortlessly and leaving a dewy finish. It's more of a creamy, dense texture rather than a lightweight one. 🤍 Fragrance: The fragrance is a very subtle lemon scent, not overpowering at all. You can only detect it slightly when applying, but it disappears quickly after application, so it should be suitable even for those sensitive to fragrance.
Cons🤍 Downside: The price seems a bit high compared to the size. Since it's not a cream that you scoop out, it's hard to gauge how much to apply, so I end up applying more than necessary. The stick format makes it difficult to tell if I'm applying the right amount.
Tip🤍 Tips & Positives: Applying it once before bed and once in the morning, allowing it to absorb, kept my skin moisturized all day without feeling tight. Using this stick before applying a heavy sunscreen made the sunscreen glide on more smoothly and evenly. The stick format allows you to apply directly without having to scoop it out, and the smooth, gliding texture feels amazing.

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.

Spreadability - It spreads smoothly and easily. These days, since I don't apply foundation due to wearing masks, I apply this tone-up base and there is no pilling or flaking on top of it. 2. Moisturizing Power - It definitely felt more moisturizing compared to when I didn't use it. Since I have dry skin, if my skincare routine isn't thorough enough, I feel dryness inside. Whenever that happens, applying this ampoule balm helps improve the situation (I didn't apply it all over, just in certain areas). 3. Absorption - The absorption is not that great. I've tried other balms before and they seem similar in this aspect. There is a bit of a tacky feeling after application. 4. Fragrance - The refreshing lemon scent, which is not irritating, was pleasant to me. When I wear a mask, the lemon fragrance continues to linger, which I enjoyed. 5. Sensitivity - Even though I have sensitive skin, there were no major breakouts or redness after using this. It's possible that only applying it in certain areas helped. Those with even more sensitive skin may still experience some blemishes.
ConsThe price is quite high compared to the amount, so it would be difficult to purchase it when it's not on sale. I'm grateful that the Hwahae Trial Reviewers provided me the opportunity to use it, but I probably won't repurchase it unless it's on sale. I've only used it for 2 weeks, so I haven't seen the effects on freckles and blemishes yet. I'll have to use up the remaining amount to see the full results.

Blemish Improvement Due to the aftermath of my menstrual cycle and exam period, my skin texture was like sandpaper, and acne was on the rise, but just starting to subside. I thought it would be a good opportunity to test the blemish improvement effects of the product I received. I had heard that vitamin C ingredients are not good when exposed to sunlight, so I applied it generously all over my face only at night and slept. Definitely, my skin texture and overall complexion have improved significantly. The stubborn and dark blemishes didn't fade much, but the older, smaller, and originally lighter blemishes have certainly become more transparent. Quantitatively, I would say they have faded by 20-40% compared to before. 2. Gentle Ingredients There were no breakouts, and even though I accidentally got some in my eyes a few times while applying, it didn't sting at all. 3. Convenient Usage Just pop open the lid and glide it on, so it's very convenient! However, the formula is quite soft, so I feel like I'll use it up quickly... Maybe because I slathered it on, thinking the blemishes would disappear faster, but there wasn't much stickiness, even at night. 4. Refreshing Vitamin Scent Personally, I really enjoy the citrusy scent of the vitamin component of the product. If it had a different scent or was unscented, I might have doubted whether it really contained vitamins. But the lemon-colored vitamin core and the refreshing fragrance are reassuring.
ConsNot really... anything bad, but of course, the price could be a burden, though they do have 1+1 promotions quite often.
TipWhen applying it to the face, if you also apply it to your lips, you won't need a separate lip balm~~~
