I was lucky enough to be chosen as a Hwahae Tester, but I'll give you my unbiased thoughts. I initially planned to test this at a water park to see if it would irritate my skin, but due to shipping issues, I couldn't bring it along. I'll update that part later when I use it outdoors. For everyday use, it seems perfect for nighttime application. It felt a bit heavy for morning use, but it worked well for calming those pesky whiteheads before bed! Rating: 3.5/5 Skin type: - Prone to cystic acne and whiteheads - Sensitive and combination skin - Lots of heat in the cheek area Before and after: My skin had been extra sensitive lately, with lots of whiteheads and a few cystic pimples popping up. After using it for 3 nights, I noticed a significant reduction in whiteheads. My cheeks and forehead felt much smoother! Blemish update: While it definitely helped with whiteheads, cystic acne still appeared red in the morning, requiring some extra coverage. Also, being summer, I woke up with a bit of oily shine! What I loved: The tube packaging and fragrance-free formula were big wins for me. I'm used to tubes, so it was super convenient. Unlike other soothing creams with that weird factory smell, this one had no scent, making it pleasant to use. Despite being a night cream, it wasn't as heavy as I expected! Plus, it really seemed to refine my skin texture.
ConsDrawbacks: - For combination skin like mine, it felt a bit too rich and didn't quite hit the mark. - Didn't see much improvement with cystic acne (though it worked wonders on whiteheads!). - The tube is on the smaller side. If you're generous with application like me, you might go through it quickly. A larger size option would be great!
TipPro tips: - Highly recommended for those with oily skin! It provides ample hydration and noticeably improves skin texture. - Great for whiteheads - they seem to vanish overnight. If you're dealing with a lot of these, give it a try! - I'd suggest using this more in fall and winter rather than summer.

It's not a super thick balm texture, but somewhere between a cream and a balm? That's why it suited my combination skin well. True to its name, it definitely helped with 'calming' my skin. Being a balm, it provided high hydration. What I especially loved was that it wasn't sticky or too heavy, yet it felt like it deeply moisturized my skin. Initially, I only applied it at night because it's a balm, but I've found that spreading a thin layer in the morning works great too. These days, I'm using it both morning and evening. I'd actually recommend this to those with oily-combination skin for fall and winter!
ConsThe amount is a bit small... It might be too dry for those with extremely dry skin.
TipMix in some Madecassol powder when applying for double the soothing effect!

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.ProsUsage period: 24.09.11 - 24.09.20 Skin type: Dry / Combination / 2-3 blemishes present Note: I usually break out when using new products! I've been sticking to the same foam cleanser, cleansing oil, toner, and emulsion since my teenage years. Fragrance-free, colorless cream Applied after refrigeration, feels incredibly cooling and forms a protective layer I was worried about my existing blemishes, but they disappeared without a trace after exactly two days Essential hydration item for my honeymoon to Bali tomorrow As a moisturizing cream, it has a rich texture and makes makeup apply beautifully A must-have for all four seasons - spring, summer, fall, and winter
ConsIt's a bit sticky, causing hair to stick to my face. The absorption doesn't seem to be that great either! I wish they would release a larger size... I've almost used it all up
TipIt's really great for acne-prone skin too. Make sure to refrigerate it and use it like a mask!

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.ProsI tested this product for about 10 days from September 11th to 20th. For an accurate assessment, I only applied the Calming Balm after cleansing morning and evening, without using any other products. First, my skin type is combination - fine without any products in summer, but lacking hydration in winter, making it combination dehydrated skin. However, during seasonal changes, it becomes super sensitive skin, prone to irritation. I'm not compatible with all ingredients, so I'm meticulous about checking product components. I hadn't heard of 'Naughty Curly' before, but learning it was developed for the founder's diver wife made me expect a soothing cream that could withstand seawater. I was intrigued by their approach to skin issues caused by microbial imbalances, and their two patented ingredients: DIARTE, which balances the skin's microbiome, and EOSIDIN, which promotes proteins like filaggrin and keratin for a stronger skin barrier. These promised to create healthier skin resistant to external stressors. Still, knowing skin varies person to person, I was curious about its effect on me and evaluated it thoroughly and honestly. Appearance: The packaging was my first positive impression. I love blue, and the tube format is much more hygienic than jar packaging. The semi-transparent design allows easy checking of remaining product. The product is fragrance-free. Texture: Despite its balm consistency, it spreads surprisingly smoothly on the back of the hand. It's similar to Aestura cream but slightly thicker. Application: Morning - After cleansing with water, it initially felt like it was sitting on the skin. However, following the care instructions to massage from inside out helped it absorb well. 30 minutes later, my skin felt smooth with a slight glow. Evening - Applied the same way, with an extra thin layer around eyes and mouth to prevent dryness. The next morning, my skin didn't feel dry and appeared noticeably calmed. Overall: I'm really impressed. Even during the hot weather of my testing period, using this alone kept my skin from feeling dry. Comparing before and after photos, I was surprised to see a significant reduction in redness and skin blemishes. It's a great product for those with similar skin types to mine. It would be excellent as an emergency soothing cream for irritated skin.
ConsThe main drawback seems to be the price-to-volume ratio. While 60ml isn't a bad size, there are similar products on the market with larger volumes at comparable prices, which is a bit disappointing. While it worked well for me, those with drier skin might find this cream alone insufficient for hydration. They might be more satisfied using it after applying other serums.
TipThe application can feel a bit thick on bare, dry skin. For better spreadability, apply a light layer of hydration with an exfoliating toner or thin hydrating serum before using this product. It's excellent as a short-term soothing cream. When your skin suddenly becomes irritated, applying just this product before bed results in noticeably calmed skin by the next morning!

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 my review after using the product for a week since receiving it on September 12th. Skin type: Adult acne-prone, deep dryness, low sensitivity Texture: Initially, I was worried it might be too thick due to the 'balm' in the product name, but it wasn't as heavy as I expected. The texture is somewhere between a rich moisturizer and a soothing cream. Application: The application is just average - neither exceptionally good nor bad, typical of a standard cream. Absorption: What I loved most about this product was its absorption. As someone who dislikes patting products in, I really appreciated how quickly it absorbed into my skin. Soothing and Hydration: While it didn't help with acne, it worked wonders for my deep dryness! I felt like applying this product alone after toner was sufficient. Sensitivity: Though I'm not particularly sensitive, I could definitely tell this product was gentle. There's a slight cooling effect upon application, which felt just right. Scent: To me, it seemed colorless and odorless.
Cons- Excessive use of bubble wrap packaging - Not specifically formulated for acne, so it didn't have much effect on blemishes - Relatively expensive for the amount of product
TipRecommended for: - Those who want to complete their skincare routine with just one product - People with super sensitive skin who can't use just anything Not recommended for: - If you don't have sensitive skin, I'd suggest opting for more cost-effective products - If you're hoping for acne relief, I'd recommend trying other targeted treatments instead

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.ProsI've been applying this every night without fail since I received it. Even though I have extremely oily skin, it doesn't feel sticky after application. It's not too heavy when first applied, and it gives my skin a nice, firm feeling. Usually, when I wake up in the morning, my face is covered in excess oil, but with this product, there's much less. It's great at balancing oil and moisture levels. I think I'm starting to understand what it means to have a healthy skin barrier - my skin feels nourished right down to its deeper layers. I'm planning to buy the Calming Emulsion for daily use too! When autumn comes, my skin usually becomes incredibly dry and my moisture barrier completely breaks down, but I think this Calming Balm will be a real lifesaver. Highly recommended!
ConsThere's nothing particularly negative to say... While it's quite pricey for the amount you get, given how effective it is, I'll probably buy another one for winter.

There were areas on my face that would turn white or feel incredibly dry and tight even after applying essences or creams. Applying this to those spots worked wonders. The compact size makes it easy to carry in a handbag or purse. It's also great for elbows or any areas with dry, flaky patches - the results are truly amazing!
ConsThe quantity isn't very generous. Those with very dry skin will understand - if you use it daily, it runs out quickly. Also, for those with oily skin or during sweaty summer days, it might feel heavy and potentially cause blemishes.
TipIn my experience, it's excellent for areas that tend to get dry and flaky. My sister used to always carry Vaseline or lip balm because the area around her mouth would often get dry, but after trying this product, she found it worked really well.

The texture is closer to a rich cream than an essence, and after application, you can feel a substantial hydration. Instead of a greasy film that feels suffocating, it creates a solid, weighty moisture barrier! It's cool to the touch, but not so light that it evaporates quickly. It gives a sense of 'Moisture, you're not going anywhere!' which makes it perfect for applying generously before bed. As someone prone to redness, I need to slather on barrier creams at night to make my skin feel livable the next day, and this product was great for soothing while I slept! I'm genuinely excited to have found a cream I like after so long. It has that typical derma cream scent. - Effectively tackles deep dryness and maintains hydration without excessive oiliness - Immediately fills skin with moisture and provides a slight cooling sensation => I absolutely adore it for its hydration and soothing properties
ConsThe amount feels a bit small. It might be too thick for those with oily skin to apply in the morning or before makeup. However, it's perfect for applying before bed during seasonal changes!

I've used it consistently every day without any concerns. • So far, I haven't experienced any milia with this product. • It also shattered my preconception that balms are thick and don't spread thinly. • The texture is closer to a cream, and even a small amount spreads smoothly and evenly over a large area. • In summer, when the humidity drops even slightly, my skin gets dry, causing irritation and bumps (like eczema) around my mouth. But now, even with the air conditioner on all day at home, I have no issues at all. • I thought it might be due to other cosmetics I use, but even when I switched them, my skin never became dry or problematic. 🆘 I highly recommend this to those suffering from dry skin. • I'm flying to the US next Saturday, and I'm definitely packing this, trusting it will protect my skin during two weeks in the desert.
ConsSo far, I'm in love with this product and have no complaints, but the price is a bit steep for the amount you get.
Tip• I typically layer my skincare, but with this product, applying a second layer can make it appear slightly white on the surface. • However, if you haven't applied too much, it quickly absorbs, providing intense hydration. • I wouldn't recommend this for oily skin types.

Despite its rich cream texture, I was worried it might make my oily skin greasy, but surprisingly it didn't leave a greasy finish. Thanks to its gentle ingredients, it didn't cause any blemishes. I even applied it as a body emollient after showering, and it helped soothe my dry skin.
ConsThere's not much to complain about, but it would be great if they released a larger size and maybe a slightly thinner consistency!
TipIt's perfect for nighttime skincare. After evening out your skin texture with toner, apply a light essence or serum, then this cream before bed. You'll wake up to glowing skin!
