I find it effective for soothing the skin and addressing pigmentation issues. It's beneficial for blemishes, and I'm extremely satisfied with the licorice extract, an ingredient I'm using for the first time.
ConsThis is a holy grail product that I always keep stocked. It's a gentle product that doesn't cause blemishes or stress the skin, making it suitable for regular use.
TipI applied it more thickly on areas with pigmentation.

(It's not particularly moisturizing though.) This shouldn't be used alone, but I applied it every evening for two weeks and had absolutely no irritation from acne. Pro tip: Apply right after washing your face for double the absorption!
ConsFirst off, if you're sensitive to herbal scents, turn back now! The herbal and licorice scent is stronger than expected. Personally, I'm not too sensitive to scents and actually liked the 'healthy' feeling it gave. As for its effectiveness on dark spots and blemishes... well, let's just say I didn't notice much difference. Of course, results may vary from person to person.
TipIt's effective on acne scars that have just healed. You won't see dramatic results in a short time, but if you use it consistently for about 2 weeks, you'll start to notice the effects!

It has a strong herbal aroma, very similar to the soap I use with the same ingredient. This serum definitely seems promising for calming blemishes and irritated skin! (I personally enjoy this scent, but it might not be for everyone, especially those who are sensitive to strong fragrances or trying it for the first time!) I love that it comes in a pump bottle - it's so hygienic and convenient to use! Unlike products with droppers or screw-top lids that can be slippery and hard to open, this pump design makes application a breeze. I was amazed at how well it worked on my cheek area where I had a lot of blemishes. After cleansing, I applied it focusing on my cheeks, and it really helped calm and soothe the irritation!
ConsWhile it's great for spot treatments, it doesn't provide enough hydration if you're looking to boost overall skin moisture.

First impression: Being a vegan product with eco-friendly packaging made me feel good about using it. The scent was slightly herbal, but pleasant enough to enjoy. Texture: Despite its thick consistency, it spreads smoothly. Thanks to its formula, the hydration doesn't evaporate quickly, leaving the skin feeling firm and moisturized. Effectiveness: As someone prone to blemishes and post-acne redness, I usually opt for soothing products. This one definitely helped calm my skin! Three red marks on my neck from extractions have almost disappeared, with only a slight hint of redness remaining. It claims to help with blemishes, pigmentation, and complexion - and I can confirm it evened out my skin tone and reduced redness. The finish is so moisturizing that on hot days, I only needed this product and sunscreen without feeling dry. While winter might require more hydration, this could be a one-step skincare solution for summer!
ConsDue to its thick consistency, applying too much can lead to pilling. It's crucial to use the right amount and ensure it absorbs well!
TipFor best results, don't use this as your first skincare step. Start with a watery toner and a light serum to add initial hydration, then follow with this product for an even more moisturized finish!

As you can tell from the texture, it feels hydrating when applied and keeps skin moisturized, making it suitable for use year-round. However, it's not heavy and absorbs quickly, leaving a clean finish. ✔️Soothing I received this product around the time I was moving, so my skin was sensitive due to stress and dust. As it's a calming serum, it really helped me a lot. My skin didn't break out, and the few blemishes I had subsided. ✔️Hydration As mentioned earlier, it's a moisturizing serum that's great to use before cream. I apply two pumps and finish with a cream. I love how it leaves my skin feeling fresh and hydrated.
ConsThe scent is a bit strong...! It smells like a mix of mint and pine needles, and it's quite potent, which can be startling. Personally, I don't find the scent unpleasant, so it's okay for me, but those who are sensitive to fragrances might find it challenging.

It was just before my period when my skin usually starts acting up, and I was stressed about the redness and unevenness. When I applied this product, there was absolutely no stinging or irritation (and I'm quite sensitive). Even after using it for several days, I didn't experience any adverse reactions. While it didn't dramatically calm my blemishes or reduce redness, the fact that I could apply it comfortably without irritation made me reach for it often. I plan to keep using it consistently. Also, perhaps due to the Madecassoside ingredient, it has a unique enveloping feeling when applied.
ConsThe texture is quite thick. I expected it to be runny since it's called a serum, but it's more like an ointment. It's fine once you know this, but at first, I had to pump several times before anything came out. Then suddenly, a thick glob emerged, making me wonder if it had solidified. But that's just how the texture is - don't be misled. Also, the scent is slightly off-putting. Those sensitive to fragrances might dislike it. I usually hate cosmetic scents more, so this product's medicinal smell was tolerable for me.
TipThis isn't exactly a pro tip, but for those with oily skin, this product has a strong enveloping effect on its own. You might want to keep the rest of your skincare routine light or avoid using it in summer. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found I still needed to use my usual moisturizer on top of this.

While I can't say for certain about its effectiveness on blemish marks as it requires consistent use, I feel like my overall complexion has brightened. I have quite a few deep acne scars, so I'll keep using it and update my review later. Acne usually leaves red marks, making my face look like a pockmarked bread, but I've been using this alongside products that combat acne bacteria and excess sebum for scar management. The bouncy texture makes it great for soothing and moisturizing the skin. Plus, the brown formulation has a unique medicinal scent that's not unpleasant.
ConsDue to its bouncy texture, it leaves a slightly sticky residue on the face, but it's fine once it's fully absorbed after some time.

While there wasn't much brightening effect on my face (no extraction marks there), I was really stressed about the acne scars on my stomach. After applying this morning and night for about a week, I could see a noticeable fading! (Note: Lighting differences may affect the before/after photos) 2. On my face, I felt instant hydration. As someone with dry skin using this in May, there was no tightness or dryness after absorption. I think it could work year-round! For oily skin types, you might be able to skip cream in summer and just use this serum after toner for a non-greasy, firm feel. 3. I recently had a few blemishes pop up on my forehead from wearing hats. This seemed to speed up the healing process and gave a sense of skin renewal from deep within. 4. The scent is refreshing and natural, not harsh like some cosmetics. When applied, it feels like aloe vera - firm and smooth. It seemed to create a great base for the next steps in my skincare routine. Long story short, it really does work for improving hyperpigmentation! Once I finish this product I won from the event, I'm definitely considering purchasing it myself!
ConsI wish they'd come out with a larger size for body use!

My biggest concerns were soothing and blemish marks, so I was excited to try this serum that addresses both issues. First off, I love that it comes in a pump bottle. Personally, I find pumps more convenient than droppers. Scent: The fragrance isn't overpowering, which I appreciate. Texture: It has a perfect medium consistency - not too runny, not too thick. After using it for a few days, I can definitely see my acne marks fading faster. While I'm not sure about its soothing effects, it's definitely effective for skin discoloration. I'd recommend it for that reason. The Hwahae Testers really works hard to find products that address multiple skin concerns!
ConsFor my skin type, it seems to increase oiliness, so I think I'll need to use this product alone without layering.

Looking at the circled areas in the photos, you can see the redness from squeezed blemishes. After applying this consistently for about 5-6 days, the irritation has significantly calmed down, turning into brown spots that are gradually fading away. I felt like the marks were improving faster than expected. I'm pleasantly surprised by how well it worked - even better than I anticipated. The best part is that it combines hyaluronic acid and ceramides for hydration, with soothing ingredients like Centella asiatica, plus brightening effects. It's like having a soothing, moisturizing, and brightening treatment all in one, eliminating the need for additional serums. Unlike vitamin C products that can sting and irritate, this feels calming and soothing on the skin. I'll keep using it, and since it's the all-in-one hydrating, soothing, and brightening product I've been looking for, I'm likely to repurchase it.
ConsIt might feel a bit heavy for those with oily skin in summer. I don't have oily skin myself - I'm actually on the dry side - but it's very moisturizing, so that could be an issue for some.
