Pros
Usage experience: Extremely gentle and moisturizing, long-lasting hydration Usage duration: Have been using it consistently since the Aerial's Snap days Skin type: Occasionally gets pimples, very sensitive skin due to frequent skin treatments, thin skin I happened to purchase it through a Wadiz crowdfunding campaign since the Aerial's Snap days, and have been using it ever since! I use both the white and blue versions! Haha This blue cream is... gentle and makes the skin feel soft and supple. It's perfect for applying in the evening. Since my skin is sensitive, when I use various ingredients, it quickly becomes irritated and red, but this product doesn't cause that at all. Especially this past holiday season, when I had a skin treatment done at the hospital, the moisturizing ampoule they recommended was so irritating that I couldn't use it at all. So I tried using this instead, and lo and behold, there was no irritation whatsoever, and the irritated areas calmed down. In fact, when I applied the blue one, it felt like a protective barrier, and my irritated skin felt protected. Also, since I have combination skin (was acne-prone in school days), I used to have quite severe redness, but after using this, my moisture balance seems to have been restored, and the redness has been greatly reduced, and my skin tone has brightened noticeably. In the past, I thought I had oily skin, so I used only moisturizing creams, but that just made my oil production increase even more. The Nautically blue cream isn't oily, but it's not just pure moisture either - it has a nice, slightly rich feel, and when I wake up, my skin is definitely super soft and supple. It's made with gentle ingredients, so I feel reassured using it, even on my baby's skin. I used to get so tired searching YouTube videos and blog reviews to find the right product, but now that I've found this holy grail, it's so convenient and great! Haha
Cons
At first, I applied it generously, thinking it would make my skin even more moisturized, but it ended up feeling heavy. A thin layer is sufficient. The previous packaging was made of aluminum(?) or something, so it was a bit inconvenient to squeeze out the last bits, but the renewed packaging seems more convenient.
Tip
Recommend applying in a thin layer. If it feels insufficient, you can apply a few thin layers. When I have the time, I sometimes use a spatula to spread it, which makes it feel like it absorbs better! Haha

Pros
Usage period: 10 days (9/10~20) • I received and used it before the Chuseok holiday. Recommended skin type: Sensitive, dry skin, troubled skin • My skin is quite dry, and in the summer I have to apply cream several times in the morning and evening, but when I used the Notically Calming Balm, I didn't feel dryness after cleansing, applying toner, and then the Notically Calming Balm. Even though I have sensitive skin, I used it without any irritation, and it feels comfortable when applied. Texture: Slightly thicker than a regular cream • It's a bit more dense, or you could say a heavier texture than a regular cream. Feeling of use: Soft and moisturizing. No skin irritation. • I'm sensitive to cosmetics, and some make my skin sting and turn red, but this had no irritation at all. And a small amount is enough to make my skin feel moisturized, so there's no heavy or stuffy feeling. It absorbs well, too. Fragrance: There may be preferences since it doesn't contain fragrance. • I don't use cosmetics with fragrance or coloring because I have sensitive skin. Cosmetics without fragrance or coloring don't artificially mask the natural scent of the ingredients, so there may be preferences. But for the sake of my skin, it's obviously better to use something without fragrance and coloring, and I actually prefer this aspect.
Cons
There's really nothing disappointing. Since it's a night-use product, when I used it during the day, the sunscreen or makeup felt a bit heavy.
Tip
I had a lot of discomfort in my daily life due to dry skin, so I had high expectations that using the Notically Calming Balm might help improve this. I was satisfied enough to use it, and it's amazing that the dryness has improved. Since a small amount is enough to make the skin feel moisturized, if you apply too much, it can feel sticky and stuffy. I found that just a pea-sized amount on one cheek was sufficient for me. As the weather gets colder and drier, I think layering it a bit will keep my skin sufficiently moisturized.

Pros
The texture is a bit thick like night cream, and after application, a moisture barrier forms over time, so it works well as a sleeping pack before bed. Even with sensitive skin, I had no skin issues for almost 2 weeks. If other skin concerns like oiliness disappear, it can be used on its own.
Cons
When used and then followed by makeup, it all slides off, so it's best to use it only before bedtime. I wouldn't recommend it as a pre-makeup step.
Tip
It's perfect as a moisturizing step after using exfoliating or sebum-controlling basic products.

Pros
🍀Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review! Texture - The texture is incredibly soft and applies smoothly! Even though it's a balm, it's not too thick or heavy, so it's very comfortable to apply. Fragrance - It's almost fragrance-free! •The tube packaging is convenient and seems to prevent waste and contamination. I was lucky to be selected for the trial, and the ingredients are so gentle. I'm very particular about the ingredients in my skincare, especially since I have sensitive skin - even a little irritation can make my skin red. But this product didn't cause any irritation, even when I applied it generously. The formula is deeply moisturizing and glides on smoothly, giving an immediate cooling sensation. Over time, I noticed a soothing effect on my skin. Applying this before bed on my skin that was tired from the summer heat worked wonders!! Highly recommend this product!
Cons
There's not much I dislike, but one thing is that the finish is a bit tacky. Compared to a lightweight serum or essence, this has more of a balm-like texture, so it does leave a slightly sticky feeling. And over time, I noticed a bit of oil coming to the surface. For these reasons, I'd recommend using this at night before bed. Applying it in the morning could make your makeup slip or leave your skin looking too shiny.
Tip
Highly recommend this as a soothing nighttime treatment

Pros
Skin Type: Oily (T-zone), Troubled by Acne Usage Experience: - Since I have an oily skin type, the product feels a bit heavy for me to use in the summer. - However, the somewhat dense texture seems very useful for the transitional fall and winter seasons. - Applying it before bedtime and sleeping with it on the face yields good results. Soothing Effect: - My forehead was red and irritated due to some acne and small bumps, but after lightly applying the product and sleeping, the redness subsided and my skin was calmed to some degree the next day. - I had been using various soothing products like La Roche-Posay Cicabaume, Physiogel, and Illiyoon depending on my skin condition, and the Calming Balm also proved effective in soothing my skin.
Cons
It's possibly due to the seasonal change or because I've been using too many skincare products, but my skin tends to feel congested when I layer too many products.
Tip
Since it has a heavy texture, be sure to use an appropriate amount!

Pros
The story about how the brand created a skin barrier cream for my wife who does freediving was quite impressive, given that it's an unfamiliar brand. Not only was there an instruction manual in the packaging, but there were also stickers. When they called it a 'calming balm', I couldn't help but imagine a rich and glossy texture, but it turned out to be a more hydrating and lightweight formula than I expected. As someone with dry skin who doesn't like heavy cosmetics due to blemishes, I'm glad about this. I mainly used it after scrubbing or on days when I had to cleanse my face multiple times. The next day, I could definitely feel that the redness had subsided. Although I thought I needed to address the redness from my strawberry nose, it also helped a lot with blackhead removal. Even though I received this product as a promotional item, I will continue to use it well and plan to repurchase once I've used it up. In summary, the cream has a finely textured, granular-like consistency. It's in a tube packaging, and the color is a deep navy, like the deep sea, which seems fitting since the couple are divers. It absorbs refreshingly and is quite effective in soothing any heat, redness, or inflammation on the face. I would repurchase this.
Cons
Even this could be too heavy in the summer. It would be difficult to use this daily in the summer. I would recommend it more for nighttime care.
Tip
This would be great to use on days when your face felt irritated.

Pros
This is a calming balm that seems suitable for dry skin and winter skincare. - The design is clean and nice. - I was worried that the balm might feel thick or sticky when applied, but it spreads smoothly like a cream without any such issues. - When applied at night, my skin feels softer in the morning.
Cons
- It has a slightly oily/greasy feel, so you need to be careful with the amount you use. I sometimes get breakouts when I apply too much, especially when my skin is not in the best condition. - It doesn't absorb immediately, so it can interfere a bit with makeup application. However, the product is described as a night care item, so this is not a major issue.
Tip
- For people like me with dry skin, this would be great to use for hydration, especially in the winter rather than summer. - I would recommend this night care product to those with severely dry, cracked skin.

Pros
1. Effective Soothing It helped soothe my skin overall and especially calmed down redness and acne. 2. Moisturizing The dense texture felt rich and moisturizing yet not overly oily as soon as I applied it. Since my skin is combination leaning oily, I focused on applying it to the drier, flaky areas. 3. Packaging and Fragrance-Free The blue-colored packaging had a refreshing feel, and while it's not completely fragrance-free, the scent was barely noticeable. Even as someone sensitive to cosmetic fragrances, I had no trouble using this product.
Cons
This is pretty much the only downside I can think of. It would be better suited for dry skin types and winter use rather than oily skin and summer. With its dense, moisturizing texture, there was a noticeable heaviness that felt burdensome for my oily complexion. Especially if I used more than a small amount, it would make my makeup look cakey and uneven, so I couldn't really use it before going out.
Tip
For those with oily or combination skin, you could try mixing a small amount of this cream into your regular lightweight, water-based moisturizer during the summer. That way, you'll get the continued hydration without the heaviness.

Pros
1. No irritation Felt no stinging or discomfort at all during use. 2. Formulation A somewhat dense moisturizing cream. Not overly sticky, but has a substantial and oily texture. Seems more suitable for winter use than now. 3. Usage experience Good spreadability and absorption. After application, it leaves a subtle glow, not a full-on dewy finish.
Cons
1. Makeup slides off, slides off, slides off... When makeup slides off, it's unusable... Especially when used with mineral sunscreen, it slides off 99% of the time. Can only be used on bare skin. 2. Uncomfortable formulation for summer With the incredibly humid weather this summer, I felt the formula was heavy and stuffy when applied... It would probably be better to test it again in winter.
Tip
A decent moisturizing cream I've been using it more as a hand cream these days, as it's a bit too much for my face in this extremely humid weather..

Pros
I am extremely satisfied with the product that I won as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. During a time when my skin barrier was compromised due to folliculitis, I could visibly see and feel my skin normalizing day by day after using this product. It is so gentle, and as soon as I apply it, I can feel a soothing, moisturizing layer enveloping my skin. Not only does it feel amazing, but my skin also becomes baby-soft and supple the very next morning after using it. Admittedly, my blemishes did not subside immediately, but the irritation, redness, and dryness were quickly alleviated within a day or two of using this product. It has a subtle, non-fragrant scent, and the texture is wonderfully smooth and spreadable, making it great for on-the-go application. If I finish this product, I would 10000% purchase it with my own money!👍🏻
Cons
When applied in the morning before makeup, it may feel a bit heavy. However, it is an excellent night care product.
Tip
As mentioned in the product description, reducing the number of products used and layering this product thinly seems to enhance its efficacy!!
