Pros
It's so easy to apply without any fuss! The texture is quite firm, not overly soft for a lip balm. It's non-sticky and lightweight, making it perfect for those who dislike sticky or heavy lip products. (This quality also makes it highly recommended for men!) It has a cool scent and feel (perhaps a cooling effect?), which made it fantastic to use as a lip balm during the hot summer months.
Cons
There's nothing to complain about! This is the lip balm I've been using for the longest time among all lip products.
Tip
Applying this before a matte lipstick works wonders - it prevents dryness and feels amazing!

Pros
This is truly my LIFE BALM ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ and I couldn't find a better lip balm than this ㅠㅠ. It's neatly organized and the menthol scent is so good that I HWAHAE while using it, and it also has a bit of a plumping effect, and the taste is not strange at all, and it has become my absolute favorite item!🩷 REALLY, people who are looking for a lip balm should use this, I've even given this as a gift to my mom and friends, and they said it's so good and kept asking where I bought it!! I'm on my 2nd tube now 🩷🩷👍🏻👍🏻 You HAVE to buy it ㅠㅠㅠ
Cons
There is really not much of a plum effect, but the original lip balm didn't have a plum effect anyway and I still liked it a lot.

The fragrance is subtly grassy, clean, and not too heavy, making it pleasant to apply.

Hwahae's moisturizing effect is so-so, if you dislike Hwahae, it may not be great.

Pros
I really dislike the taste of lip balm (the peculiar taste). I bought it from Daiso for 3,000 won and it was too good. It had no taste, it was flavorless. The fragrance was mint, which I liked. There was a bit of a cooling sensation, a cooling sensation slightly below plumping? If you apply a lot, it becomes intense (when you apply a lot before bed). The packaging was just basic and simple, which I liked. It was white, and the lip balm formula was not crumbly but rather firm.
Cons
The lip balm's contents seem a bit firm and don't melt well with skin temperature. Compared to other lip balms, it feels a bit more difficult to apply. I had to apply quite a bit for it to feel good, which may be a matter of personal preference.

Pros
Recently, the scene of Mr. Choi Seong-hun applying this lip balm became a hot topic, as my friend bought it for me in Japan... The scent is a mix of mint and medicine, and the fragrance is not very pleasant. When applied to the lips, it is not a moisturizing lip balm, but rather feels sticky or tacky. I think it would be better suited for men to use.
Cons
I tend to prefer moisturizing lip balms, so I deducted one star since this product does not have that type of formulation.
Tip
At night, I'd recommend using a moisturizer rather than a daily one during the day.

Pros
I bought it without knowing much about it, and at first when I applied it, the strong fragrance and cooling sensation really surprised me.
Cons
As I continue to use it, it has become too familiar, and I no longer feel the refreshing sensation. I'm just using it in a plain and ordinary way. I'm not sure about the moisturizing performance.

Pros
It takes good care of dead skin and also helps with soothing. It doesn't get overly slippery or sticky, which is great! The price-to-performance ratio is also good. The size is just right, so it's convenient to carry around in your pocket or bag! The product has a refreshing, cooling sensation and a menthol scent.
Cons
There will likely be mixed reactions. I personally loved it, but those who dislike the cooling sensation and pine scent may feel aversion to it!
Tip
You can gently remove dead skin without irritation by applying a generous amount on your lips and then gently rubbing it off later. Haha!

Pros
As a mint enthusiast, this fragrance hits the spot perfectly. It has a subtle, cooling sensation that I really enjoy. Even when applied outdoors in the winter, it doesn't feel overly chilly. It's not too thick or stuffy.
Cons
The lid is small, so it's easy to lose. Other than that, there's nothing much.

Pros
The product has a good cost-to-performance ratio and can be used without any issues. When applied as per the Mensoreddam brand, it has a menthol scent and feels refreshing.
Cons
The moisturizing effect is not that great. When my lips are very chapped, it doesn't seem to be effective. 😢

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.
