It's like a layer of nutrient-rich moisture enveloping your skin. ▪️Consistency: It's somewhat balm-like. While it feels firm when scooping with the spatula, it spreads easily and smoothly on the skin. ▪️Scent: There's a subtle floral fragrance. It reminds me of the nourishing creams my mother used to use.
Cons▪️While it does absorb to some extent, there comes a point where it stops sinking in. Instead, it leaves a rich layer on the skin that can feel a bit heavy and greasy. This was somewhat disappointing for me. ▪️Given its rich texture, I'd recommend this more for those in their 40s and 50s who are concerned about wrinkles, brightening, and firmness, and who prefer nourishing creams. It might not be the best choice for those with blemish-prone or sensitive skin.
TipTo minimize the rich feeling, try warming the product between your hands and gently massaging it into your skin following your skin's natural contours. This helps with absorption. Also, after applying the cream, you can use a gua sha tool for a gentle facial massage. The cream provides enough slip for a smooth, non-irritating gua sha session!

Compared to heavy, thick creams, this one absorbs quite well. While it doesn't sink in instantly, it does leave a nice moisturized feeling. It's a great product for winter use, and I'd recommend it for those with dry skin!
ConsThe thick cream has a strong rose scent which might be off-putting for some. It could feel a bit heavy during summer months. I'd suggest those with oily or super sensitive skin might want to avoid this one.

I won this product and I'm writing a truly honest review after using it. I've added star ratings based on my personal preference. I'll break down the review into three aspects: 1. Texture (application) 2. Scent 3. Effectiveness 1. Texture (application) ⭐⭐⭐ When I first received and opened it, the texture was different from what I expected. It reminded me of the Shrek face mask (you know, the pink one for Fiona) sold at Olive Young. The application felt similar to putting on a face mask. To describe it, while most creams feel thick when applied, this one - and I'm exaggerating a bit here - felt like it created a thin film on my face (as if you're wearing a mask). If you're expecting a typical cream, especially if you're a guy, you might find it a bit heavy or suffocating. I'm not an expert on skincare, so I might be missing some benefits of this texture, but I found more cons than pros in terms of texture and application. That said, I think this is still easier to apply than creams that are too runny. 2. Scent ⭐(⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) + ⭐ No matter how good the ingredients or effects are, if a product smells off, it's a turn-off - and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Many reviews always mention the scent, so why such a high rating? The Rollagen Firming Cream reminded me of 'L'Ombre dans L'Eau', one of Diptyque's fragrances. When I first used it, I was surprised to smell my favorite perfume! Everyone perceives scents differently, but that distinct herbal scent immediately made me think of L'Ombre dans L'Eau. I wish I could explain this better with a picture or words... Some people might dislike this scent, but it's not overpowering - it's subtle, which is why I added an extra star. 3. Effectiveness (????) This is actually a tricky part of Hwahae reviews. If someone claims to see effects (especially for whitening and wrinkle improvement) after just one or two weeks of use, it might be hard for users to believe. What I can say is whether there were any blemishes or adverse reactions after use, and share my personal experience. I have sensitive skin prone to blemishes. Even slight incompatibility with a product can cause redness or breakouts. During the trial period, I only added the Rollagen Firming Cream to my existing routine and didn't experience any special blemishes or redness. However, I found it less burdensome to use before bed (due to its texture), and I used it less in the morning as it felt a bit heavy. For whitening and wrinkle improvement, I think we'd need to observe after using up an entire jar.
ConsI'll keep this part brief since I wrote a lot above. Application: It's thick and can feel a bit heavy when applied. Price: For skincare at this price point, it might be challenging to convince men to open their wallets easily.
TipApplying it before bed gives you that face mask feeling, and above all, the pleasant scent (!) that rises puts you in a good mood.
