I have combination skin, and I tried using niacinamide because I heard it helps control sebum and prevent oiliness, and it really worked for me. After doing my nighttime skincare routine and waking up, my T-zone used to be very oily, especially around my nose, but now the T-zone is barely oily and there's only a slight oiliness around my nose. Even this level of improvement is so great that I feel like I'll use it forever. It's even faded my acne scars and Cica marks.
Cons
It's gone, it's become my favorite item. I'm so grateful. If you have the same skin type as me, I strongly recommend you try it. There are no downsides.
Tip
I use the Liddell Shot, not the beauty device Airshot. After applying it, my pores get cleansed and the synergy increases.

The absorption power is extremely good, and the spreadability is soft and nice. I purchased two bottles, and I've almost used up the remaining one after finishing the first one. When applied, the skin becomes firm and moisturized, which is great. I highly recommend it.
Cons
There were almost no bad points! It's a really, really good product and I highly recommend it.

It is very gentle. It seemed to be better to use than the niacinamide ampoule It is less sticky and good to use in the summer
Cons
It seems a bit too light. In general, Hwahae products tend to be like that, but when they're heavy, I get some stuff on my face, so I just carry them around and apply it around my mouth a few times while eating lunch and dinner.

I used it sensitively and it didn't cause any irritation, leaving my skin feeling refreshed. It absorbs well and is absorbed cleanly without any stickiness.
Cons
There hasn't been any particular disappointment so far. Since it is sensitive, the skin condition may change depending on the skin condition, so I will continue to use it and post a review.

The all-in-one pump was very convenient to use! It was quickly absorbed right after application, making it easy to layer multiple applications. The moisture content was great.
Cons
The Hwahae serum was used up, but I didn't see any dramatic effects. It seems to have only slightly lightened my skin tone.

When on sale, the price is reasonable and absorption is extremely fast. Scar management is a bit ambiguous.
Cons
There's nothing particularly disappointing, but it's not exceptionally good either? It's a perfectly average item.

It's great to apply lightly after toner and before applying cream. I like it even more because it's fragrance-free.
Cons
I purchased it to hydrate, but I didn't really feel like my skin was being hydrated..

The formula & usage experience • Transparent and lightweight watery gel formula It is not too thin but does not flow, and spreads smoothly on the skin and absorbs quickly. • The application is very smooth, and it does not slide even when layered multiple times, finishing refreshingly. • It does not leave a residue or stickiness, so it can be used comfortably even on oily/combination skin. ⸻ Key effects & features 1. Concentrated formula for scar care • Contains 5% niacinamide → brightening + pigmentation reduction + moisture-oil balance • You can experience the gradual brightening of reddish marks and dull spots left on the skin. 2. Effective soothing effect • 4 types of Centella Asiatica (Cica) complex + madecassoside → Gently soothes irritated skin and helps with quick recovery after trouble. 3. Texture refinement + Elasticity boost • Contains panthenol, allantoin, hyaluronic acid Provides moisture, refines skin texture, and alleviates irritation all at once. ⸻ Skin improvement experience • There may not be a significant change in a day or two, but after using it consistently for more than 2 weeks, the pigmentation gradually lightens, and the skin looks brighter. • For someone who tends to have dark post-blemish marks, the marks faded faster than before, and the skin texture became smoother with less tightness. • Rather than an immediate whitening effect, it gives a more natural and healthy brightening. ⸻ Ingredients & Irritation • Mostly EWG green-graded ingredients + fragrance-free + no artificial coloring • Passed dermatological testing + low-irritation testing → Can be used comfortably even on sensitive skin! • The scent is almost odorless, making it particularly suitable for sensitive skin. ⸻ Overall • Recommended for - Those concerned about blemish marks & pigmentation - Those wanting mild daily brightening & soothing care for oily/combination skin - Those with dull skin looking for a lightweight, transparent glow • Not recommended for - Extremely dry skin preferring rich, dense moisturization - Those expecting immediate tone-up/whitening - Skin needing a rich formula, highly moisturizing serum
Cons
1. You may be disappointed if you expect immediate results • Scar care requires consistency as the key! • It is difficult to expect noticeable changes in just a day or two 2. The moisturizing effect may be slightly weak for dry skin • This product is designed as a lightweight serum, so dry skin may need to layer with a moisturizing cream or oil 3. Depending on skin type, there may occasionally be a stinging sensation • Especially on sensitive days, it's best to skip 1-2 days
