The texture has a slight viscosity, and after application, it's surprisingly rich - so much so that those with oily skin might not need an additional cream.
ConsThe packaging... Please improve the packaging soon! It's really frustrating and annoying because of the container.
TipFor oily skin, apply immediately after cleansing, just after spritzing with a facial mist.

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.

Condition: Whiteheads and redness. The product has a liquid consistency that's neither too thin nor too thick, and it applies smoothly. Once applied, it feels incredibly hydrating with long-lasting moisture. I'm quite sensitive to scents, but this one has a mild herbal and medicinal fragrance that isn't overpowering - it's quite tolerable. Lately, my skin has become more sensitive and prone to dark spots, so I've been consistently using this product for its brightening and soothing properties. As someone with dry skin, I really appreciate how moisturizing it is. It seems perfect for the current season. It's hydrating and absorbs well into the skin.
ConsSince I haven't been using it for long, I can't really tell if it's effective for brightening or calming my redness yet.
TipAfter toner, spread it over your skin and gently pat to absorb. It sinks in without pilling. For dry skin, follow up with a cream or emulsion to prevent tightness.

It's not sticky, but very hydrating and moisturizing. When applied before makeup, it might cause some pilling? It tends to go on with a noticeable thickness. The scent matches the color exactly, which might not suit those with super sensitive skin. Overall, the user experience rates 4 stars.
ConsThe only issue was struggling all day to open the lid at first. Other than that, nothing particularly negative to mention.

The formula has a thick serum consistency, with a slightly cool scent. It might be a tad heavy for combination dehydrated skin in summer, but when used alone, I found it gave my face a nice, balanced coating feeling. The next morning after application, I noticed significant soothing effects. While it claims to help conceal blemishes, and I did see some improvement in my overall complexion with consistent use, I'm not sure if it actually faded deeper scars. However, the calming effect was definitely noticeable, which makes me consider repurchasing in the future.
ConsDespite having sensitive combination dehydrated skin, it didn't cause any blemishes! However, to truly see if it erases marks, I think I'll need to apply it more consistently for a longer period.

Many serums these days have a runny consistency, but this product stays put when pumped onto the face, like a cream. This made it easy to spread evenly. The scent might be hit or miss for some, but it was a hit for me. It had a slight herbal, forest-like aroma. The hydration was great too. The moisture didn't evaporate quickly, and I appreciated that it wasn't overly rich.
ConsI applied this product between my usual skincare steps, and the next day I developed blemishes on my cheeks. The price point feels a bit high.
TipIt might feel a bit thick at first, so I'd recommend using it only in the evening to start. If you want to use it during the day, it's crucial to control the amount. It takes a while to absorb.

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!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI was selected as one of The Hwahae Testers, so here's my review. User profile: Mid-20s, combination dehydrated skin + sensitive + milia-prone skin. Scent: It has a distinct herbal scent due to the licorice extract. Personally, I think it's not as strong as mugwort, but it has a unique medicinal smell that might be hit or miss for some people. Texture & Packaging: Unlike common serums, this has a thick consistency. Most serums I've used have a runny texture and come with droppers, but this one holds its shape. That's why it comes in a pump bottle. While I find it more convenient than droppers, it's a bit harder to control the amount. Application & Hydration: It applies smoothly without dripping, allowing precise application. Despite its thick consistency, I was pleasantly surprised by its hydration level. It effectively combats deep dryness and leaves the skin feeling moisturized. What I particularly love is that as the weather gets warmer, some serums become uncomfortably sticky, but this one has a surprisingly matte finish. It's perfect for addressing deep dryness while providing a non-sticky finish - exactly what I've been looking for! It also absorbs quickly, which is great. Overall: I was skeptical about a thick serum providing enough hydration, but it surpassed my expectations! It effectively tackles deep dryness while leaving a matte finish, making it perfect for summer. I'm thrilled to have found a product that works so well for my needs!
ConsThe herbal scent might be divisive. I personally don't like it (though it's not overpowering and is tolerable). Controlling the amount dispensed can be challenging. I didn't see any improvement in my blemishes.

My skin occasionally gets blemishes and is quite sensitive, so I applied to be a Hwahae Tester when I heard that the Rootree Scar Soothing Serum could improve skin texture and provide instant calming effects. The serum's texture isn't particularly light, but it has a nice, rich consistency. It has an herbal scent that might be hit or miss for some people. Thanks to ingredients like ceramides and allantoin, it seems to help improve the skin barrier. While I had high hopes for the soothing effects due to the madecassoside and cica ingredients, the results weren't dramatic but still satisfactory. It's supposed to have a brightening effect too, but I can't really tell yet.
ConsI wish the texture was a bit lighter! The consistency feels a bit heavy for summer use.
TipWhen using the Rootree Scar Serum, it's best to simplify your skincare routine as much as possible! If you use too many layers, it can leave your skin feeling a bit oily.

The product absorbs quickly and feels refreshing. The texture is like a thicker gel compared to regular serums, making it easier to apply than watery ones. It also feels more hydrating. The scent has a herbal aroma, which I find pleasant and healthy-smelling.
ConsSometimes when I'm not thinking about my skincare routine, I apply toner, serum, emulsion, cream, and sunscreen in that order. Occasionally, this causes pilling. So later, I started using it in the evening instead of during the day. I didn't experience any blemishes or small pimples. However, it might be better to use this product for 2-3 weeks before giving a full review.
TipI naturally have good skin. However, when I apply too much product or use something new, I often get small pimples or breakouts. Usually, my skin is sensitive, and I'd get one or two pimples. In my 20s, I could just pop them, and they'd disappear in a few days. But as I've gotten older, pimples don't go away as easily, and even when popped, they leave marks that last longer. When I apply this licorice serum after my regular evening skincare routine, it feels hydrating. The ingredients are ones I like, and I feel it helps calm my skin without causing breakouts. I intend to repurchase this product.
