The texture is just right, and it absorbs well into the skin. When applied in moderation, it provides hydration without leaving an excessively oily feeling. After application, my skin felt firm, and I noticed my skin texture and pores appeared more refined. The moisturizing effect was quite satisfactory.
ConsSometimes I experienced a slight tingling sensation after application. When I used it during the day without proper sunscreen, my skin felt irritated (no issues when applied at night, though). As someone with combination skin, even in winter, applying a generous amount made my skin feel congested and caused a warming sensation with some perspiration.

I was a bit apprehensive about retinol but decided to give it a try. To avoid irritation, I started with small amounts. Surprisingly, I didn't experience any major irritation. It felt more hydrating than I expected, almost like an essence.
ConsThere's a slight tingling sensation when you first apply it. I'm not sure why, but it might be because of my sensitive skin. However, this feeling subsides quickly! Give it a try for about a week.
TipStart by using a pea-sized amount, and once your skin adapts, you can gradually increase to a suitable amount.

Texture and Hydration: - The texture is moderately rich, similar to an eye cream. As a result, I felt significant hydration after application. It provided just the right amount of moisture for this transitional season, and as someone with combination dehydrated skin, I was satisfied. 2. Scent: - It has a typical retinol scent, nothing out of the ordinary. It didn't feel out of place during use, and I actually appreciated the lack of artificial fragrance.
ConsPersonally, I didn't see much benefit from the retinol, and instead, my skin felt irritated and my makeup didn't sit well the next day. It probably just doesn't suit my skin. However, it seems that those who found it compatible experienced significant help with pore tightening. Additionally, while the packaging is aesthetically pleasing, it's disappointing that it's difficult to recycle, especially considering the current push to reduce plastic use. It's unique, but I wish there was more focus on environmental considerations.

As a Hwahae Tester, I used this for an extended period and I must say, did my skin elasticity improve? There's also a soft, velvety feeling. I'm extremely satisfied with this product!
ConsI guess it's because of the retinol, but the tingling sensation is too much to handle. I thought it would get better after the adjustment period, but even on the day I'm writing this review, it's still quite uncomfortable. I think this might be due to my super sensitive skin and the fact that my skin condition wasn't great throughout the time I was using the product.

I was initially pleased with this retinol-based skincare product, as it contains no concerning ingredients. The packaging is fantastic - no need for droppers, just press to dispense the desired amount without air exposure. The clever design allows you to flip the cap, revealing the nozzle, then flip it back to protect from dust and debris. The product has a slightly thick consistency that doesn't drip when applied to the back of your hand, but it's not overly stiff. As I have very dry skin, I used two pumps at the essence stage, only in the evening. I appreciated that it wasn't too runny, giving a more substantial and hydrating feel. Adding this to my skincare routine during the drier seasons really helped boost moisture levels. Despite being a retinol product, I was relieved to find it wasn't irritating. After about a month of use, while I can't claim it's reduced wrinkles (that would be wishful thinking!), my skin feels nourished, hydrated, and firmer.
ConsDuring the changing seasons, my skin became a bit sensitive, and I felt a slight tingling sensation on my cheeks when applying. However, I experienced this with other skincare products too, so it's not necessarily an issue with this one. The tingling only occurs during application and subsides afterwards.
TipRather than calling it a holy grail product, I'd say that as someone with dry skin, adding this to my basic routine made my skin feel more hydrated and firm.

I really liked that! Also, I had some blemishes and redness, and although the change was subtle, I noticed the marks fading slightly the day after application. For my combination dehydrated skin, it seemed to provide decent hydration too! (But a moisturizer is still a must.) Even with my super sensitive skin, it didn't cause any additional blemishes or irritation!
ConsPerhaps due to my sensitive skin, it wasn't completely free of tingling sensations. For the first day or two, there was a very slight stinging (though not severe). Unfortunately, the container isn't transparent, so you can't see how much product is left.
TipStart by applying a small amount, and once your skin adapts, use an appropriate amount to cover your face and neck thoroughly. Don't forget to follow up with a moisturizer!
