It has a slightly thick texture but applies smoothly, and it kept my skin feeling moisturized until the next morning.
ConsThe scent was a bit like rubber or something greasy, which I didn't really like. And while it was very moisturizing, my face felt a bit stuffy as a result.
TipAdjust the amount you use based on your skin type.

This was the best among the products I received as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. The texture is a rich and soft cream. I would highlight two main advantages: 1. Moisturizing Power I have extremely dehydrated skin, and no matter how much moisturizing cream I applied and layered, the dryness never seemed to be fully quenched. However, this cream immediately eliminated the dryness, and gave me a balanced hydration feeling! Even though it's a night cream, I ended up using it morning and night because it was so good. 2. Soothing My skin is acne-prone and has a compromised skin barrier. After using this cream and sleeping, the next day my acne did not flare up at all, and the redness completely disappeared. This is such an amazing benefit, and it's why I think I'll stick with this cream. Additionally, this cream layers well under makeup, which is a plus! I'd definitely recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin.
ConsThe scent is almost unscented, but there is a slight silicone container smell, so those extremely sensitive to fragrance may dislike it. The packaging is also a bit small.
TipIf you just can't seem to get rid of that persistent dryness and acne, you absolutely must try this!

As I have a combination skin type with an oily T-zone, I applied my usual moisturizer to the T-zone and thinly applied the calming balm to the drier U-zone. I felt it was good for skin barrier and hydration!
ConsSince I have a combination skin type, the product contains shea butter and pore-clogging ingredients like palmitic acid, so I couldn't apply it all over my face and only applied a small amount to the drier areas. When pore-clogging ingredients are present, it can cause breakouts... I think the cream type suits me better than the balm type. And the most disappointing thing is the fragrance... The fragrance was really unpleasant to me, with a butter and rubber-like smell, so I couldn't bear to apply it on my face. I only applied a small amount on the outer areas of my face.
TipI applied it more on my neck than my face^^; It wasn't oily or sticky, but had good moisturizing properties, so it was good to apply on my neck.

Soothing First of all, I have very dry skin. These days, the temperature changes have been extreme, so my skin has been getting very dry and then suddenly very oily, causing me to have some breakouts. This product seems to be great for soothing my skin! Since it's moisturizing, it helps keep my dry, dehydrated skin balanced and prevents excess oil and breakouts. 2. Not too heavy I was worried that since it's a balm, it would be really thick and heavy, which could be problematic for my dry skin. But it's not as dense and heavy as other balm-type products. It has more of a cream-like texture. However, you do need to apply it in small amounts and spread it out well, as applying too much at once can make it hard to spread evenly. 3. Great for dry skin in winter Since my skin is still not too dry right now and can be a bit oily, heavy products don't work well for me. But I think this would be perfect for my dry skin in the winter. In the colder months, dry skin like mine needs a product that can balance oil and moisture, and this nicely weighted item seems ideal for that. 4. No breakouts I was worried that the rich ingredients might cause breakouts on my acne-prone skin, but I've only been using a small amount in the evenings and haven't had any major issues. However, very sensitive skin types may want to be cautious.
Cons1. Fragrance The scent is kind of like an ointment, not super strong but not particularly pleasant either. 2. Packaging The tube packaging is good for keeping things sanitary, but the material makes it hard to get every last bit of product out. Since this isn't an inexpensive item, it would be nice if the packaging allowed you to use up every last drop.
TipFor oily, dry skin: Apply a small amount only in the evenings to the dry areas. For dry skin: Apply a thin layer and reapply several times.

Completely fragrance-free For those who use perfume, this would be good as the scents won't clash. 2. A small amount is sufficient Even though it's a night-time formula, only a small amount is needed to cover the skin effectively. 3. Seems to have a calming effect I had some trouble removing my makeup a few days ago, and I applied the Calming Balm in the morning and evening. The pimple that was starting to come up disappeared. 4. Absorbs quickly Even though it's a night-time formula, it absorbs quickly.
Cons1. Night-time formula Since it's a night-time formula, it has a slightly runny ointment-like texture. 2. Price The price may be a bit burdensome. 3. Fragrance-free Even though it's fragrance-free, it has a slight ointment-like scent as mentioned in point 1.

I've been applying it to the always dry areas around the mouth and the outer parts of the face, as well as the areas with peeling skin. After applying it for a few days, I was surprised to see that it calmed down the irritation quickly, even just after one day of use. During the transitional seasons and winter, when my face often gets flushed and develops peeling, I think applying it all over would be very helpful. Another positive aspect was the improvement in skin texture. The areas I've been consistently applying it to have become wonderfully smooth, making me wish the dry season would come sooner. The formula is a moderately thick, white balm. I was worried it might feel oily or sticky due to the formula, but when it touches the skin, it has a texture between a cream and a sorbet, and absorbs well.
ConsThe scent might be divisive. It seems to be the fate of products with good ingredients that don't use fragrances, as it has an ointment-like smell.
TipI used to get stressed out because even after applying Vaseline or a highly moisturizing cream to my elbows, the peeling would return within a day. But with this product, it lasts for 2-3 days. It's particularly good for applying to dry areas of the body as well.

It's more like a regular moisturizing cream. As a combination skin type, I think this texture might be a bit heavy for me to use in the summer, but it would work well for me in the fall and winter. It's a good finishing touch to apply after serums and essences before bedtime.
ConsIf I had to find something I was a bit disappointed with, it would be the ointment-like scent. But that's likely because they didn't add any fragrance to make it a gentle product, so I didn't find it to be a major issue.
