It's not a slippery richness, but more of a gentle stickiness. (I personally don't prefer super matte finishes, so I actually liked this slight tackiness ✨) - Effects: While I need to use it longer to fully assess, I didn't experience any irritation during use :) I'll update with more details later!
ConsIt has a herbal scent with hints of grass. I checked the ingredients and found fragrance listed. Those sensitive to scents or fragrances might want to keep this in mind.

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.

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.

Despite its gel-like texture, I was surprised that it didn't feel heavy on the skin. It provides just the right amount of hydration without feeling suffocating, which is perfect for someone like me who dislikes the feeling of heavy products and doesn't even wear foundation. In terms of application, I typically follow a routine of toner, serum, emulsion, and sleeping pack. However, with this product's gel-like consistency, I found that I could skip the sleeping pack and finish with just the serum and emulsion. It felt sufficient. Also, as someone with super sensitive skin who has to carefully check ingredients due to allergies (even in sunscreens), I was pleased to find that this product has gentle ingredients that seem suitable for sensitive skin. I've had experiences where I've had to immediately wash off products due to allergic reactions, so I'm always cautious, but this one seems to work well for my sensitive complexion.
ConsFragrance: When I first opened the product, I was taken aback by a scent reminiscent of medicinal herbs. As someone who's sensitive to fragrances and typically uses unscented products, this somewhat diminished the product's appeal for me. However, the strong scent is only noticeable upon initial application and fades quickly once spread on the skin. Because of this, I found myself quickly squeezing out a small amount and applying it hastily. If you're sensitive to fragrances, this is something to keep in mind.

Instead, it has a firm gel-cream texture that holds its shape well. Application: It applies smoothly but feels a bit heavier than most serums. This translates to excellent hydration, which is why I, with my combination dehydrated skin, use it in place of a finishing moisturizer. It might be a bit heavy for those with very oily skin, though! Blemishes: Despite its rich texture, it doesn't cause any breakouts or skin issues. This serum doesn't just sit on top of the skin, making it ideal for those with combination dehydrated skin who struggle with deep dryness. It really works hard to provide lasting hydration.
ConsI didn't find any particular downsides while using this product. Just keep in mind that the texture is on the heavier side, so it's best to use it according to your skin type for optimal results.

First off, I loved the serum's packaging design. It has a natural, organic look that fits well with its vegan formula. It gave me the impression that the product would be gentle on my skin. With high hopes, I used it for two weeks. The texture is slightly viscous, almost cream-like, and doesn't run. It applies smoothly and absorbs fairly quickly. I'm not a fan of sticky products, and this one wasn't overly tacky. It had more of a plump, bouncy feel to it. There was a subtle fragrance when applying. It seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. It wasn't overpowering, which I appreciated. Reading other reviews, some people described it as licorice or herbal scent. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found that using just toner and this serum was enough. The serum has a slightly creamy texture, and even with just toner and serum, my skin felt moisturized with a bit of richness. Makeup applied well over this skincare routine.
ConsHowever, after using it for a few days, my skin started to react. I noticed some redness and small blemishes appearing. It seems this product doesn't suit my skin type. I even experienced some temporary itching. While I didn't feel any heaviness when applying, after a few hours, I noticed increased oil production and felt like there was a film on my skin. The morning after using this product, I woke up with noticeably oily skin. In the past, when I've won products in events that worked well for my skin, I've often purchased them with my own money. Unfortunately, this isn't one I'd buy for myself. That said, if you typically don't have adverse reactions to skincare products, you might not have any issues. In fact, it could work wonderfully for you!

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.

But I decided to try the Rootree serum when it arrived, just as I finished my previous one. 1) Texture: I usually don't like runny serums, but I absolutely love how the Rootree Licorice serum has a thick, adhesive texture that clings to the skin! 2) Soothing: Given my extremely sensitive skin, I used it without expectations, and while it wasn't miraculous, I'm very satisfied that it didn't cause any blemishes! I've tried many products famous for soothing, but most of them ended up irritating my skin instead. I was worried, but I've been using this every morning and evening since the day after I received it, and I'm happy that it hasn't caused any skin troubles!
Cons1) Scent: I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, and when I first applied it to my skin, the scent was off-putting. It smelled like the herbal steam rooms you find in bathhouses. Now that I've gotten used to it, it's not as uncomfortable as it was initially.

It absorbs instantly into the skin, so there's absolutely no pilling with makeup. Scent: It has a herbal fragrance that might be polarizing, but I personally enjoyed it. The puff applicator makes it super convenient to use.
ConsDue to its rich texture, I feel like I'll go through it quickly, so I wish there was a bit more product. If you control the amount well, there's no oiliness at all. My existing blemishes actually calmed down after using this product. I'll need to use it longer to see the brightening effects, but it's great for soothing the skin.
TipI mainly used it morning and night, and I love that it doesn't cause any pilling when applied under makeup in my morning skincare routine!

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.Pros✔️ Texture: For a serum, it has a rich consistency that doesn't run but still absorbs well into the skin. ✔️ Scent: There's a subtle herbal aroma when first pumped, but it dissipates once absorbed, so it shouldn't be too polarizing. ✔️ Effects: While I haven't used it long enough to see a reduction in blemish marks, I've noticed some soothing benefits. It seems to reduce heat in areas prone to redness. When applied to areas with enlarged pores, it gives a firming sensation. Throughout use, I experienced no irritation or breakouts.
Cons✔️ For those with very oily skin, it might leave a slightly shiny finish even after absorption. It would likely work better on relatively drier areas. ✔️ The texture feels a bit heavy for use under makeup. It's more suitable as part of your nighttime routine - apply before bed for best results.
