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!

Texture The cream-like emulsion texture seems suitable for acne, as it has a lightweight application. It felt like a light moisturizer. Absorption is very good!! 2. Hydration After applying the ampoule, it was not heavy at all and could be applied lightly. As it is suitable for acne, those with oily skin can use it comfortably too. It seems good to use this after the ampoule in the winter. 3. Fragrance There was no fragrance. It has the original ingredient scent. No added fragrance. 4. As it is formulated with herb extracts, it seems to have a soothing effect. Overall, the evaluation is that for oily skin, this cream is not heavy, so it can be good to use in the winter to add extra hydration. Since it is lightweight, it's okay to apply multiple layers.
Cons1. Price The price range is a bit on the higher side. This seems to be because the volume is quite large. It is 70g, while the standard is usually 50g. 2. Packaging The tube format means it can be easily carried in a bag. This is an advantage, like carrying a hand cream in the winter. However, the packaging form is too fluid, so the shape is likely to change easily. When pressure is applied, it keeps coming out continuously.
TipIt's also great for oily skin!

The texture is slightly opaque and not too thin or too thick. The scent is almost unscented. In the winter, I was more concerned about moisture and would layer on cream, but that would make my makeup look cakey and greasy. If I didn't use cream, my skin would feel too dry and irritated. But the Herbology cream was not greasy and provided just the right amount of hydration. Also, in the winter, I would have trouble with dryness and breakouts from using multiple skincare products. But this cream satisfied both my need for oil control and hydration, and it worked well with my sensitive skin. It's the best cream I've tried.🌿 I'm also pleased that it's vegan-certified and uses ingredients from smart farm cultivation. Those who are sensitive to such things would likely enjoy using this as well.
ConsI haven't used it for long, but the tube feels like it's made of aluminum and doesn't bounce back when pressed. At first, it would dispense a lot when I pressed it lightly, but that hasn't happened since then.
TipDon't just swipe it on quickly. Gently massage it in to really let it absorb, and you'll wake up the next day with a glowing complexion!!

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.ProsThe cream was introduced as suitable for acne-prone skin, and I would like to share that my sister and I tried it together! 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!

Cons- The scent is a bit disappointing (personally, I prefer a more pronounced herbal fragrance, or a fresh, subtle herbal scent would be ideal) - The tube packaging is nice, but the material can get crumpled or torn if not stored or used carefully
TipIt's not sticky and has good moisturizing properties, so it works well for removing makeup and reapplying touch-ups

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 was like a moisturizing cream, and when I applied it, I felt a slight cooling sensation! (This could be due to the season) The absorption was faster than expected, and the lightweight texture would have been even better in the summer. For the current season, I had to apply a bit more at the cream stage. It absorbed well, leaving no sticky feeling and a refreshing finish. As I have a very combination and sensitive skin type, I usually avoid using rich products, and the ones I normally use are mostly soothing types. This product was gentle, and my skin did not experience any breakouts after using it, which was great.
ConsPersonally, I didn't like the packaging much... This type of ointment-like case is troublesome, as you have to press it gently to dispense the product, otherwise it just keeps coming out. I prefer cream-type products that come in a squeeze tube, but this type of packaging was not my favorite.

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.

Cons❤️🩹 Slightly sticky residue after absorption ❤️🩹 The amount was a bit disappointing: Not quite a bargain, but something like that! ❤️🩹 The finish is a bit ambiguous for pre-makeup application
TipIf you apply it generously before bed and sleep, you can experience supple skin the next day. I was generally satisfied and recommend it!
