I was tempted by the claim that this product deeply moisturizes the skin, and the result was great👍🏻 1. The cream has a texture that is not too thin, nor too thick - it has good spreadability. 2. It is said to soothe the skin from external stimuli, and it is so gentle that there is no irritation or itchiness at all. 3. It has a subtle scent like mugwort or grass, not an overly artificial cosmetic smell, which I like - a nice herbal fragrance. 4. The product stays true to its main purpose. After my evening cleansing, I just applied this cream without toner or serum, and I woke up in the morning without any dryness. 5. The packaging is very simple, which I also appreciate - no excessive packaging.
ConsThe fragrance seems to be divisive, but it doesn't stray too far from my personal preference. I've also seen reviews complaining about the tube packaging, but even the occasional use of Fucidin or other medication in similar packaging doesn't bother me much.
Tip1. If you apply too much, it can feel a bit heavy on the skin, but it gets absorbed over time. 2. This product seems to focus on soothing and calming the skin. Even for someone like me with relatively resilient skin, this cream can be a good option to address dryness issues.

ConsI don't know if it's just me, but when I use this product, I get some small bumps...🥲 And those with dry or extremely dry skin may not find it moisturizing enough on its own🥲
TipThis would be a great product to use as a prep step before applying a thicker cream in the winter!

For your information, I have sensitive and dry skin (with some small acne and a little acne around the mouth and chin area), while my sister has combination skin that is closer to oily. 🔺Absorbs smoothly with a refreshing application When I first applied it, I had a bit of doubt, thinking "This is a cream?" because of its soft and refreshing application. I was worried that the moisturizing power might not be enough since it wasn't rich, but after applying it, I immediately felt a plump and bouncy sensation that provided instant hydration. This was the first great thing I noticed about it. If you dislike rich and heavy creams, this is a real recommendation! It applies like an emulsion, so it's also highly recommended for oily skin types. 🔺A daily essential without makeup smudging The smooth application made me worry that the moisturizing might be weak, but my oily-skinned sister didn't feel her skin tightening or drying out all day. As for me, with dry skin, I applied a thin layer on my cheeks a few times and a single layer on my forehead and nose (T-zone), which worked perfectly. It feels lightweight but not lacking in moisture! I think this could be great for those who are averse to heavy creams, especially in the winter. Both of us felt that it has a similar effect to Dak**** Sika**, but it's more affordable and has a truly refreshing application. Plus, there's no annoying hair-sticking issue, and no makeup smudging! Recommended for: 🟡Acne-prone/combination skin 🟡Those who dislike heaviness but want to maintain hydration
Cons🔻For my sensitive and dry skin, it's not a complete moisturizing product, but it was very effective in soothing sensitive spots! * For my oily-skinned sister, it was an excellent moisturizing and soothing product! I plan to use it more in the future, so I'll add any additional thoughts if anything comes up.🤨
Tip🔶 Before bed, I apply it generously to the spot areas and let it absorb thoroughly, and I can definitely feel the spots becoming soothed by the next day!

The metal-like texture of the container made it feel like I was using a premium hand cream. The tube format allows for a neat and clean application. 🔹Texture As someone with oily skin, I'm often hesitant to use heavy creams, but this product has a slightly runny texture, not a thick, heavy cream. This makes it easy to apply without feeling too heavy. However, those with dry skin may find it a bit lacking. 🔹Fragrance I'm not a fan of overpowering fragrances, and this product has a pleasant, refreshing scent that is just right.
Cons🔹Design While the container material is good, there are some downsides. As mentioned earlier, the ointment-like texture means that even after a week of use, there is still a significant amount left. However, I'm concerned that as the product runs low, the container may become sharp and uncomfortable to use. 🔹Moisture The texture worked well for me, but for those with dry skin, it may be a bit too lightweight, especially during the cold winter months.

It is a smooth and gentle cream that did not cause any trouble. The tube-shaped packaging was great, as it allowed me to use the product cleanly until the end, even for acne-prone skin. The texture was not thick, but rather like a slightly watery lotion, which provided good spreadability and absorption. The moderate oil content should also be suitable for combination skin. While it may feel a bit lightweight in the winter, it still provides comfortable application without any tightness. The product claims to help balance the oil-moisture balance, and it did seem to have some effect on my stubborn closed comedones. The bumps on my cheeks reduced, and the angry blemish under my left eye also subsided without using a spot treatment - just the redness remains now. Before using this product, I had an explosion of pimples, blackheads, and closed comedones on my forehead right above my eyebrows, but those have now cleared up almost completely! I found this product more effective in soothing my skin troubles than improving my closed comedones. I would recommend it to those with combination skin whose moisture balance is disrupted during seasonal changes, leading to breakouts.
ConsThe packaging is a firm tube similar to Aesop hand creams, so there is a possibility of the tube cracking during use. Towards the end, if it had a plastic tube, it could be cut open to use up the remaining product efficiently. However, this product does not seem to have that kind of easy-to-open packaging, so you won't be able to cut it open and use up the last bits. Also, it's not an extremely moisturizing cream, so very dry skin types may need to add an additional facial oil to get the desired level of hydration.
TipOkay, got it. There are no special tips - just applying the product morning and evening was effective enough. The regular, consistent use of the product was sufficient to see the benefits, without needing any additional steps or measures.

Cheek flushing, redness The skin is thin and sensitive, but has stabilized a lot. Occasionally, there are milia on the forehead and pimples on the chin before menstruation • Texture : Heavier than other creams, but not sticky or thick. Good spreadability and absorption! My usual evening routine is 'serum or ampoule - cream - occasionally sleeping pack', but since this cream seems drying, I added a moisturizing gel before the cream when not using a sleeping pack, and it didn't feel tight. My usual morning routine is 'toner - serum - cream', but since I apply mineral sunscreen, it feels a bit dry over time. After that, I added a richer cream to the dry cheeks and U-zone before applying the sunscreen, and it was fine. It might feel just right for those with normal to oily skin, but dry skin types may need an additional step. • Fragrance : There is a very faint herbal scent, but I'm quite sensitive to scents, so that's just my perception! It's essentially fragrance-free! My sister, who used it with me, said she liked that it's unscented. • Others Good ingredients, vegan, absorbs well without pilling 221223 Update ++ The mildness and versatility can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. Since it's so versatile, it's good to mix it with other high-concentration functional ampoules.
Cons• Packaging : Like a common hand cream I personally dislike the small cap that you have to twist open... It's inconvenient to stand up, and even if you do, it easily tips over with a slight touch, which I don't like...! +Others have said it kept oozing out, but it didn't happen to me. Maybe because I squeezed out a generous amount from the start...haha 221223 Update ++ The packaging... As I use it up, the bottom part gets hard and it's difficult to squeeze out. • Price : Retail price is 37,000 won for 70ml Discounted price on Hwahae is 29,000 won Honestly, there are similar priced creams with frequent discounts and special sets, so I'm not sure about its competitiveness. • Functionality : It's stated to be non-comedogenic and suitable for acne-prone skin, and effective in reducing oil content, inflammatory/non-inflammatory acne, and improving sebum. But I couldn't really feel the effects, perhaps because I didn't use it for over 4 weeks. In short, it's a "very mild" and "non-irritating" cream that's "suitable" for acne-prone and sensitive skin, but not a product that provides strong functional benefits. Unless you're looking for an extremely gentle and moderately moisturizing cream, I'm not sure if this product would be a must-have. As it lacks functions like trouble soothing, firming, pore care, whitening, and wrinkle improvement, it can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. I didn't want to be too harsh, but considering whether this is a product I'd repurchase and consistently use, it's just so-so for me, a rather versatile but unremarkable product.
TipLayering it like a toner makes it much more hydrating. You get a sense of sufficient moisture rather than oiliness. Be sure to let it absorb properly and layer it on! It has a nice, gradual building up effect. If you want to add more functionality, you can mix in a few drops of the ampoule you've been using. And if it feels too drying, you can mix in a drop of facial oil as well.

The texture is on the watery side, similar to a moisturizing cream! It's not a thick, creamy formula. So I thought it would be good for oily skin types to use. As a dry-skinned person in the winter, I found it a bit drying, so I added an ampoule. It seems okay to mix in a few drops of oil as well! I think it would also be good to use in the summer. The application is very smooth, making it easy to apply. It spreads transparently without clumping, so you don't need to be too meticulous when applying in front of a mirror. Overall, it has a clean, moisturizing finish and seems like a comfortable product to use.
ConsThe calming effect wasn't particularly noticeable. It feels like a good quality moisturizing cream for oily skin types.
TipTry using it together with an essence or ampoule~

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.ProsEven though I thought the cream would be thick, it actually has a surprisingly lightweight texture. I usually apply the ampoule all over before bedtime, and then put on the cream to prevent it from rubbing off on the pillow. This product has a texture between a gel-cream and a regular cream, and it absorbs into the skin right away, so it doesn't leave any residue on the pillow. I'd recommend this to those who don't like the greasy feeling when applying creams. As winter approaches and my skin starts to get dry, the abundant moisture in this product has prevented my skin from feeling dehydrated. It provides ample hydration. It's just a very basic, reliable moisturizing cream. It's not something that will wow you with its amazing effects, but it's a solid cream that you'll reach for when you need it.
ConsWhen I was reading the product description, I thought this was a sebum-controlling product. But I didn't really feel like it controlled oil or sebum that much. It's not that it made my skin super greasy, but those with very oily skin might still feel some shine. And the tube-type packaging is not my favorite. I tend to squeeze out too much product, and even after wiping off the excess, more just keeps coming out. This packaging style could be improved. Personally, I prefer the jar type over the tube for this kind of cream.

It spread smoothly and left a moisturized yet refreshing finish. Some heavier creams I've used tend to disrupt my makeup base in the morning, but this product was easy to apply without any issues. ♤ Moisturizing Power: Despite the refreshing finish, the moisturizing effect lasts quite a while. When I gently tap my cheeks, I can still feel the suppleness. However, as someone who is very wary of clogged pores, this may not be enough for those with very dry skin. ♤ Fragrance: It's completely fragrance-free! ♡ I strongly prefer unscented cosmetics, and even artificial fragrances are better than herbal scents, which I don't particularly like. Seeing the 'Herbology' name, I was a bit worried, but there's virtually no scent - perfect!
ConsWhile it's not a problem for me, those with dry skin may find this insufficient as a standalone moisturizer, especially during drier seasons. Additionally, it would be great if the product description provided more details on the key focus and purpose of this product.

(It's a perfect fit for sensitive skin, and it helps calm down any bumpy or acne-prone areas.)
Cons1) Even though I didn't press down hard, a large amount of product came out. The fluid texture makes it challenging to control the amount.
TipIt's a product worth stocking up on when on sale...ㅠㅠㅠㅠ It's really great, so you should definitely give it a try! The infused oil technology seems to extract beneficial plant-based oils, which makes it very satisfying for the skin.
