Pros
It's great for easy, carefree application! The formula is not overly soft but quite firm, making it a nice lip balm. It's non-sticky and lightweight, so it's suitable for those who dislike stickiness or heavy lip balms. (This is why I strongly recommend it as a lip balm for men as well👍🏻) It has a refreshing scent and feel! (Cooling sensation?) So it was perfect to use as a lip balm in the hot summer◡̈ ༘ *
Cons
There are no regrets! Among lip balms, I've been using this product the longest!
Tip
Before applying the matte lip, putting this on was so great - it wasn't drying at all and felt wonderful!

Pros
It's great that it's non-sticky and has a lightweight feel. The slight Hwahae is also nice, and the cost-effectiveness is superb.
Cons
When the lips are severely chapped, it's not very effective, but it's good to apply it regularly as a preventative measure.

Pros
There is no real stickiness. After trying other lip balms, I realized that this product really has no stickiness. The glossiness is relatively low. At first, I didn't like it much, but since the formula is lighter compared to other products, I found it comfortable and ended up using it frequently, becoming addicted to it. I often eat snacks, and when I used other lip balms and then ate, I would sometimes taste the lip balm or a slippery sensation, so I had to wipe my lips before eating. But with this lip balm, I never experienced that. I think this would be good for people who are sensitive to those kinds of things.
Cons
Moisturizing: I'm not sure about the moisturizing power, as the formulation feels lightweight. However, it's easy to apply frequently, so it may be a good fit for those who prefer frequently applying a lighter moisturizer over a heavier one.
Tip
The formulation is relatively lightweight, making it easy to apply frequently.

Pros
This has tremendous advantages!! This is not it, but it's like a plain, ordinary lip balm. It applies smoothly and is quite moisturizing. The lightweight formula makes it easy to take out and apply when you remember to do so while outside. 👍
Cons
At first, I was quite surprised by the burning sensation, like a paste. However, after using it a few more times, I got used to it and don't really feel anything anymore.

Pros
Personally, I really like the Hwahae Trial Reviewer lip balm. It was just the right amount of hydration, which was great! It applies lightly without any stickiness and absorbs well!
Cons
The moisturizing effect was a bit lacking, which was disappointing. However, it seems like it would be good to use before applying lip makeup!

Pros
The formula is moisturizing, applies lightly without being sticky, and is just the right amount. Once applied, the moisture lasts for a long time. When my lips feel a little torn from yawning, applying this has a soothing effect. It has a strong cooling sensation. Looking at the ingredients, in addition to menthol, it also contains pine oil and eucalyptus oil to provide the cooling effect. I really like these types of cooling lip balms, so I'm very satisfied. The scent is similar to a medicated ointment. I personally like the tingling sensation, but it may be divisive. It's also economical at 4,000 won, or around 3,000 won on sale.
Cons
After checking on Hwahae, the ingredients don't seem to be that great. Those with sensitive skin should be cautious.
Tip
As a brand with a long history in lip balms, the product quality is good. If you, like me, normally enjoy mint-scented lip balms, you'll be satisfied with this product. The cooling sensation is similar to Carmex, but a bit more lightweight. It also seems more moisturizing than Nivea.

Pros
The product applies thinly and adheres well, making it easy to apply lightly. It also has good moisturizing power. Personally, I really dislike lip balms that have a lightweight oil-like feel and don't adhere well, quickly wearing off. But this lip balm has a nice, clingy feel on the lips, which I really like! The lip balm formula is on the firmer side, so it doesn't get mushy or slide up the lips, applying in a thin layer. It has a cooling sensation. In the winter, when applying it outside or in windy conditions, the lips feel incredibly refreshing and cool. I really enjoy the cooling effect. It's affordable and easy to find. I purchased it from Olive Young, but it's also sold at grocery stores and Daiso. The regular price is around 4,000 won, which is very inexpensive, and I even saw it for 3,000 won at Daiso! It glides on and off smoothly. Even though it's inexpensive, the packaging doesn't feel cheap, and the product applies and removes easily.
Cons
It has a pungent, irritating smell similar to a medicated ointment. If you don't like cooling sensations, be cautious.
Tip
*I always use a lip mask at night and apply a stick lip balm during the day. I don't use the stick lip balm for exfoliating, only when my lips feel dry.
