The scent is nearly undetectable, so I didn't experience any aversion to the fragrance when applying. It's also great that it doesn't cause pilling when applying makeup over it. As someone with thin, sensitive combination skin prone to blemishes, I didn't experience any breakouts. Instead, my skin texture became smoother, and my pores appeared smaller! Thanks to its gentle ingredients, there was no stinging or irritation upon application. While it doesn't provide an intense cooling effect, it definitely has a soothing effect on the skin. That's why I applied it after working out when my skin was flushed. In the past, when my skin heated up, I'd get small bumps or excess oil, but after using this product, those issues have significantly decreased.
ConsSince it's a calming line, it feels more like it's truly soothing angry skin rather than providing intense hydration. For best results, I recommend following up with a hydrating mist or moisturizer to create synergy!
TipMy skincare routine involves soaking a cotton pad with hyaluronic acid toner, leaving it on my skin for 10 minutes, then gently patting in the direction of my skin texture. Next, I apply the Mugwort Serum to my forehead, cheeks, and chin, quickly absorbing it with my hands before it runs. Afterwards, I spritz on the Dalba mist and finish with a moisturizer. This routine helps maintain hydration for longer, and the serum helps control oil, which I love!

This was super convenient when I'm in a rush in the morning. * Scent It's not irritating and very gentle. I can't quite describe it, but it's so mild it's almost unscented. * Non-irritating I have super sensitive skin and usually experience some irritation for a few days when switching cosmetics, but I didn't have any issues with this one.
Cons* Light texture While the texture is similar to a toner, which makes for quick absorption, it doesn't keep the skin hydrated for long. It might be fine in summer, but it can feel a bit dry for winter use.
TipSince it's a serum, I apply a cream over it. I found that mixing in a tiny bit of oil before application keeps my skin moisturized for longer, which works great.

Lightweight, hydrating water-based formula The Hwahae Testers love that it's not greasy, making it perfect for use before makeup or after morning cleansing. The water-like texture blends seamlessly with other hydrating products, ideal for those prioritizing deep hydration! 2. Deeply nourishing sensation Using the dropper, spread it widely over your face. You'll feel it quickly absorbing, hydrating your skin from within. The water-based formula seems to penetrate even the tiniest areas rapidly. 3. One pump is enough A single pump provides ample product for your entire face, saving you from multiple applications. 4. Fragrance-free While I personally enjoy scented products, this is a huge plus for those with sensitive noses! I sniffed hard but couldn't detect any fragrance. No headaches from overwhelming scents here! 5. Gentle formula Personally, I felt zero irritation. It's like it just flows effortlessly on the skin - super gentle! 6. Soothing care Despite my warm room, it felt refreshingly cool on application - perhaps thanks to the centella? It's slightly cooler than skin temperature, which is lovely. Most skincare products are like this, but it's reassuring for those who worry about temperature sensations. 7. Sturdy bottle I accidentally dropped it right away, but no worries! If you have kids at home or are a bit clumsy, this bottle won't shatter easily. Just watch out for your toes! 8. Simple design The minimalist design is top-notch! (Personal preference) 9. Clean rubber stopper The rubber part of the dropper is firm and glossy, attracting less dust than other products. It can't be completely dust-free due to the material, but it's better than most. 10. Recyclable open design It looks recyclable, though I haven't tried. I've included a photo for reference!
Cons1. Not recommended for dry skin alone While it's hydrating, the water-based formula seems to evaporate quickly, and the lightweight application doesn't last long. It might not be enough on its own for dry skin types! However, it's great when combined with other moisturizing products or used before makeup, even for those with dry skin. 2. Tends to drip When I apply it directly to my face after pumping, it can run into my eyes or mouth if I use too much. Slightly inconvenient. 3. Additional moisturizer needed in winter Even oily skin types might need extra hydration in winter. For dry and normal skin, it's a must! However, it's great for deep hydration. 4. Hydration doesn't last long While the dry feeling disappears quickly, so does the moisturized sensation. Recommended for those who dislike long-lasting surface moisture, but I personally prefer longer-lasting hydration. However, the deep moisturizing effect does persist.
TipAfter toning to refine your skin texture, reduce dryness with a skin, then apply the Centella Asiatica Teca Cameng Serum for deep hydration. Follow up with an even more moisturizing product to keep your skin hydrated even in winter!

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.ProsHere's a review from The Hwahae Testers! 1. It's nothing special, but it looks like something that could improve your skin... The green bottle is so pretty, it just makes you want to use it! 2. It has a subtle scent that's close to fragrance-free, reminiscent of Centella Asiatica. I really liked that. 3. Despite having super sensitive skin, I didn't feel any tingling sensation. It felt like it absorbed well into my skin.
Cons1. Hydration: Well... it feels quite light. I have combination dehydrated skin, but it didn't seem to address my deep dryness. Even after applying two layers, it wasn't particularly effective. 2. Blemishes: As expected, for someone with sensitive skin like me, the high concentration of Centella Asiatica might have been too much. I developed blemishes on the third day of use.
TipFor the best moisture retention, you should apply a cream right after using this product!

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.ProsThis fragrance-free serum has a water-like consistency with excellent absorption and application. It moisturizes well and gets absorbed quickly within 1-2 minutes, leaving a hydrated feel on the skin's surface. It provides good hydration after application, and personally, it's my favorite among the serums I've used recently. The dropper-type packaging is hygienic, and after application, the skin doesn't feel dry but stays moisturized. It gives a sense of refined skin texture. As someone with super sensitive skin, it applied gently without any tingling sensation. The Centella Asiatica extract didn't cause any irritation at all. I'm 99% sure I'll repurchase this.
ConsThe only downside is that while I'm satisfied with how it applies and absorbs, I wish the water-like texture was a bit more viscous. That would give it a slightly more substantial feel when applying.
TipIt absorbs well into the skin even when you apply a moderate amount.

Product Review Fragrance: Seems unscented (can't really detect any smell...) Texture: Runny essence type Absorption: Off the charts, 200 points! Application: Glides on smoothly, 100 points User Experience I apply this every morning and evening after toner. Using the dropper, I dispense it on my forehead and cheeks, then spread it with my hands. The absorption is incredible! After patting it in about three times, the silky serum just disappears into the skin. I'm amazed at how quickly it absorbs - is this normal for serums? It's quite different from essences. At first, I thought, 'Huh? Is this just like a toner?' But even toners take some effort to absorb, while this product sinks right in. After absorption, there's no stickiness or slippery feeling left behind. It's like that fresh, dewy feeling right after washing your face, when you've only dabbed off the excess water. The scent isn't overpowering, and despite being in my menstrual cycle (when I'm prone to blemishes), I didn't break out at all. Interesting! While I can't be certain it's thanks to this product, I'm surprised that I didn't get my usual breakouts around my mouth this time. I wanted to attach photos, but I don't have any of the product itself. Since I'm staying out tonight, I can't take additional pictures. I'll just upload the texture shot I took earlier for the review!
ConsRoom for Improvement When I fill the dropper completely and apply it to my face, it feels slightly inadequate - just a tad short of perfect coverage. I wonder if it might be a bit light for winter use? But it absorbs well, and I can always follow up with a richer cream, so I'm still using it regularly.
TipPro Tip Since it contains Centella Asiatica extract, it might work well as a spot treatment for blemishes if applied with a cotton pad. Unfortunately, I don't have any blemishes right now to test this on! If I get a breakout later, I'll try it out and update my review!

After applying this product carefully to my reddened skin, I was amazed at how quickly it calmed the redness. The water-based formula absorbs well and isn't sticky at all, which is exactly what I prefer. It's perfect for my super sensitive skin!
ConsMy skin is typically combination but leans towards dry, and in winter it becomes extremely dry. Initially, this product felt quite hydrating, but it seemed to dry out faster than other products I've used. If you have dry skin, you'll likely need to apply a generous amount of moisturizer immediately after this absorbs.
Tip- Use for calming redness (works well even on larger areas) - For those with dry skin, quickly follow up with the next step in your skincare routine after this absorbs (The drier your skin, the more swiftly you should move to the next product)

While my skin isn't extremely sensitive, I'm very interested in skincare and mainly use products with gentle ingredients. ❤️ Ingredients This product is incredibly mild with no concerning ingredients! I didn't experience any blemishes or adverse reactions when using it. ❤️ Absorption Usually, serums tend to be sticky, but this product has an almost water-like texture similar to a toner. It absorbs immediately upon application. I'm very careful when choosing serums to wear under makeup, and this one doesn't interfere with makeup at all - it just absorbs perfectly. ❤️ Scent While I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances, I didn't experience any unpleasant smells while using this. ❤️ Soothing effect When wearing a mask, my skin would get dry, and I'd get cracks and blemishes around my nose, under my chin, and around my mouth. But since using this product, the cracking has significantly reduced!!!! It's amazing.
ConsThere are no downsides... This is one of the few products I've repurchased after trying it as part of The Hwahae Testers. I'll definitely be buying it again!

Due to its thin consistency, it absorbs quickly, but might not provide enough hydration for dry skin types. While I can't speak to its effectiveness on blemishes since I don't have any, it seems to work well in soothing skin irritated by cold winter winds and hot heater air. After applying toner, I found that either layering this product twice or using it as a 5-minute mask with a thin cotton pad left my skin feeling noticeably calmed. Its gentle formula makes it great for soothing skincare without being too harsh.
ConsIt may be slightly lacking in hydration, but as it's primarily a calming serum, it seems to focus on its core function effectively.
TipFor both soothing and hydration, try this routine: toner -> layer the calming serum twice -> finish with a moisturizer.

I usually have to test new cosmetics with tiny amounts, making it really hard to find products that suit my skin. Fortunately, I've found a few ingredients that work for me, and this product contains Centella Asiatica extract. With no concerning ingredients, I felt confident using it consistently for about a week. Usage experience: It has a slightly viscous texture but absorbs quickly into the skin. I really dislike products that leave residue, and sticky serums tend to cause more blemishes for me. However, this serum felt light and absorbed well. Scent: It's practically fragrance-free. Blemishes: I was worried since it was my first time using this product and there weren't many reviews. Thankfully, it didn't cause any blemishes, and I noticed some improvement in deep dryness and soothing effects. I tested it from around my mouth to my cheeks, and my skin didn't react negatively. Looking at the ingredient list, there are no concerning components, which made me feel it's a gentle product! The price of about 23,000 won for a 50ml serum seems quite reasonable. If I notice more benefits after finishing the bottle, I'd consider repurchasing.
ConsWhile it applies lightly, the hydration seems a bit lacking. It might work better when used together with a moisturizer.
