Pros
This is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review! Skin Type: Extremely dry in the winter, but combination skin the rest of the year. My skin is very thin and extremely sensitive. Product Review: First of all, as a night care/winter cream, the moisturizing effect is amazing! This product has a very dense texture. That's why I thought it might not be able to tackle my inner dryness. But as others mentioned, if you apply it thinly and layer it on the drier areas, the moisture lasts on your face. If you properly hydrate in the previous step, the inner dryness won't be much of an issue. And usually products with great moisturizing properties tend to have an oily finish, where you can see the oil floating on top later on. But this product has an amazing finish. It applies smoothly and softly, and maintains that soft finish even after application. It never feels greasy or shiny. This was the best part for me. I've attached a photo of the product texture. Also, as a soothing cream, I was able to use it on my sensitive skin. When I first started using this, my skin was a bit irritated, but after applying this, I felt a lot of soothing. It didn't make my skin oily at all, and my breakouts didn't worsen either. Overall, I was very satisfied with this product. I would repurchase it!
Cons
To be honest, I don't really have any major downsides. But it might be a bit heavy to use in the middle of summer!
Tip
It works best if you apply a thin layer all over and then layer it on the drier areas.

Pros
I'm quite sensitive to scents, but the fragrance wasn't too strong, which I really liked!! It's a bit dense, but after applying, it doesn't feel too sticky, which I really appreciate about this formula!!
Cons
It might be a bit dense for summer use, but I think this product alone could work well for fall and winter. Oh, when I received the product, it said 'Curly' on it, so for a moment I thought I had purchased a hair product. Haha!
Tip
As a dry-skinned, oily-type person, I found it a bit heavy to use all over in the summer, so I just applied it to the drier areas of my face.

Pros
I have combination skin with oily T-zone and flushed complexion! The T-zone is oily, but my cheeks can get dry at times. However, the moisturizer absorbs well and applies nicely. It feels very smooth and supple, and I find it works great when I apply it before bed. The fragrance-free formula is also a plus!
Cons
For oily skin, it's better to use in the winter or just on the dry areas of the face, rather than all over in the summer.

Pros
✨️Skin Type I am a 20-year-old male with dehydrated and sensitive oily skin. This is a review after using the product in the order of cleansing, toner → ampoule → this product at night for a week. The moisture, hydration, and soothing effects are definitely satisfactory. Even though my skin is quite sensitive, there was no stinging sensation after application. I highly recommend adding this to your nighttime routine, especially on days when you are very active outdoors. When applied to sunburned skin and washed off the next morning, the redness was completely gone. ✨️Texture The product has a thick consistency, so it doesn't spread easily and requires multiple rubs and pats to absorb it. The tube packaging is effective for hygiene management. ✨️Fragrance There is no fragrance, so it should not be polarizing.
Cons
For those with oily skin, it may feel a bit heavy. I wouldn't recommend using it in the summer, but it could be suitable for transitional seasons like fall and winter.
Tip
Using this product together with the trending Centella ingredient would be extremely effective for soothing. I highly recommend it for days with a lot of sun exposure.

Pros
The fragrance is almost non-existent, so even sensitive users can use it comfortably. It doesn't feel overly oily, but rather melts smoothly into the skin, helping to retain moisture. It's not too heavy, but not lightweight either, so it's better suited for nighttime use rather than daily use. The texture starts off moderately creamy, and then melts softly into the skin. I used it for about 10 days, applying it every night before bed. Overall, this product seems well-suited for those with sensitive, dry skin. I have sensitive, dry skin, and products that are too oily or don't provide enough moisture often cause irritation or tightness the next day. But I didn't experience any breakouts while using this, and my skin felt well-protected and hydrated the next morning, so it seems like a good nighttime product.
Cons
It may be a bit too heavy for daily use! Those with very dry skin may be able to use it daily, but for those who tend to get oily, I'd recommend using it at night. It might be difficult to use in the summer. On humid, hot summer days, it could feel stuffy and overly oily.
Tip
If you apply it before bed and just rinse with water the next morning, then follow up with a light lotion, your skin will feel super soft and glowy.

Pros
The good thing was that since it was for dry skin, there were areas on my face that would become white and flaky, and no matter how much essence or cream I applied, over time those areas would become too dry and taut. But when I applied it to those areas, it was great. Since the size is not too big, it's convenient to carry in a handbag or bag, and when I applied it to my elbows or the whitish areas, it was truly amazing.
Cons
The amount is not that much, as dry-skinned people would know, but if you apply it daily, the amount really decreases quickly. And for oily skin or in the summer when you sweat a lot, it can be quite heavy and may cause trouble.
Tip
In my case, applying it to the whitish areas was the best. My sister's lip area would get very flaky, and she'd always carry around Vaseline or lip balms, but when she started applying this, it got better.

Pros
First of all, I personally liked this product the most because it is fragrance-free. These days, many products have strong fragrances. But this product was completely free of that burden, which I liked. Especially, it was gently applied to sensitive skin and I felt it really helped soothe the skin without any irritation. Most importantly, the moisturizing power was excellent, and I could feel my skin becoming moisturized after using it. At first, I thought the balm-type might feel a bit heavy, but there was no such feeling at all. The application was smooth and soft, and it absorbed into the skin without feeling greasy, so I could use it comfortably. Especially when I applied it to dry areas, my skin immediately became softer and the texture was refined.
Cons
If I had to point out a downside, since it is a balm-type, it may feel a bit heavy during the summer. I was satisfied with the moisturizing power when I used it in the winter, but for those who prefer a lighter formula in hot weather, it may be a bit burdensome. I have combination-oily skin, and I found it to be a bit too oily for me, so I don't think I can continue using it, and I'll have to use it in the winter.
Tip
If you apply it thinly on your face before going to bed, you can use it like a sleeping pack, and you can feel your skin becoming smoother and more moisturized the next morning. Also, when applied to dry areas like elbows or heels, it had the effect of softening and moisturizing them. Personally, I think it was really good for cuticle care as well.

Pros
Skin Type: Combination skin, occasional breakouts, not overly sensitive Texture It is a balm type, not recommended for those with oily skin. Although it feels a bit heavy, it applies very smoothly! Fragrance At first, I thought it had a slight medicinal scent, but after continued use, it feels fragrance-free. Effectiveness I'm a Centella lover, and this product contains Centella extract. That's probably why it has a noticeable soothing effect. I've been having a lot of skin concerns lately due to lack of sleep, but this product has helped calm my existing blemishes and seems to have improved my skin barrier. Size As shown in the photo, it's a size that fits comfortably in one hand! That's why it was so convenient to carry around. Overall: I used this for about 2 weeks in the summer, so keep that in mind. I feel like it's a product that I'll reach for often, even in the winter. If you're dealing with blemishes, this seems to have a calming effect.
Cons
Recommended for Dry Skin It's definitely a balm type, so I'd recommend it for nighttime use. In the summer, I felt like there was still a lot of oil production at night. The price-to-volume ratio isn't the highest, but the heavy texture means a little goes a long way.
Tip
Recommended for winter use or as an intensive overnight treatment for extremely dry skin.

Pros
When I first received it and applied it to my hands, it reminded me of a similar product. It's the now-discontinued Kiehl's 'Ultra Facial Calming Hydration Sensitive Moisturizer'. It was a great value product for me, but it was discontinued... ㅜㅜ I was personally very happy to find this product. The Noty Curly Calming Balm has a slightly lighter texture but still provides great hydration! I think this moisturizer can be used comfortably by people of all ages, from teens to early 30s. 1. Hydration The hydration is amazing! This is a great moisturizer for winter. With my very dry skin, I've been applying it lately and it's been super nourishing. I haven't tried it under makeup yet since I haven't been wearing much makeup these days, but I think a light water-based skin would be enough as a base the next day. 2. Texture Even though it's called a 'balm', it's actually a soft cream. The texture is like shea butter, and when I squeeze it onto the back of my hand, I wonder if it will spread well, but contrary to how it looks, it applies smoothly and evenly. It melts naturally with body heat and spreads nicely all over. 3. Fragrance-free I prefer fragranced products, but since personal preferences vary, the fragrance-free formula is better for widespread use without any aversion. I'd rather have no scent than an unpleasant one, and the fragrance-free feel is better for my body. 4. Slim design for the volume It's great to bring along when traveling, and I've found it useful in many ways.
Cons
There aren't really any downsides, but if I had to find one, it would be that it might be too rich for oily skin types in the summer. It's definitely best suited for dry skin.
Tip
If you apply this cream to sun-damaged skin and then do a modeling pack, you can achieve the dual benefits of soothing and hydrating - it's a magical recipe!!

Pros
I received the product through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer experience and tried it out. I was surprised to see the invoice registered under the sticker pack name, but the product arrived with super cute stickers and an instruction card. I liked how they considered making the product easy to use by reducing the branding design and adding a more nautical style. The blue packaging is really pretty. When I opened the inner seal and took a whiff, there was a faint almond scent, almost unscented. The creamy texture made it seem like there might be a noticeable scent, but it was barely perceptible and didn't bother me at all during use. The texture is like a buttery chestnut type. It's a bit slippery and you can feel the oiliness when applying, but it gets absorbed quickly, leaving just the moisturizing effect! The spreadability is excellent, and it's easy to apply a thin, even layer right after applying the cream. After using toner and essence, I just applied the calming balm, and the moisturizing effect lasted for 6-8 hours overnight without needing to add any other products. I'm amazed that such a lightweight formula can provide this level of performance. Especially since I tend to have an oily T-zone and butterfly area, products often feel greasy on me, but I didn't experience that with this one. I feel like this item can solve my skin concerns from the changing seasons to winter. I will repurchase. I'm glad I discovered this great product. It's a real winner!
Cons
It's a bit heavy for summer use. Even oily skin types can use it, but if you apply too thickly, the oiliness can feel like it's sitting on top. Adjusting the application amount seems necessary.
Tip
Use a water-based toner, essence, and toner pads to control dryness first, then apply this balm in a thin, casual layer. The moisturizing effect is very sufficient, so a light application is enough!
