The cream's texture is so smooth and hydrating that it's hard to tell if it's a retinol cream or a hyaluronic acid cream. 2. The full-size product appears to have a small opening, which should make it easy and convenient to control the amount used. 3. The tube packaging allows for hygienic storage, and it's well-suited for retinol products that need minimal exposure to the environment, helping prevent product degradation. 4. Unlike other retinol products, this one shows immediate effects. Similar to the Innisfree Retinol Ampoule, it seems to instantly minimize pores and brighten the face. This could be subjective, but I haven't experienced such immediate results with some other retinol products. 5. While this product won't dramatically shrink pores or eliminate wrinkles, its intense hydration fills the pores, instantly smoothing the skin texture and complexion upon application.
Cons1. Having used retinol ampoules for a long time, I thought this product would be gentle enough for daily use. I applied small amounts to my forehead, pore areas, and wrinkle-prone zones every night. Pleased with its smooth texture and hydration, I generously applied it all over my face for two consecutive evenings. However, the next day my face felt a tingling sensation. 2. I applied a regenerating cream for the next two days, which helped alleviate the issue. Now that the tingling has subsided, I've resumed using this product almost daily, applying small amounts to my nose, cheeks, and forehead.
TipDespite its hydrating properties, using too much can cause skin irritation. It's recommended to apply small amounts only to areas with noticeable pores and wrinkles.

After reading positive reviews, I decided to give it a try. The application is so-so, with a water-like texture. It absorbs well into the skin, but it does leave a slightly sticky feeling afterwards. I was a bit surprised by the tingling sensation when I first applied it. As I continued using it, I noticed my skin improving, though it didn't seem to have much effect on blemishes or their marks. I have combination skin, by the way.
ConsThere's a tingling sensation when you first apply it, but it's okay if you make sure to moisturize well.
TipFor those with super sensitive skin or a compromised skin barrier, it's important to patch test new products and introduce them gradually. The initial tingling sensation might be a sign of irritation for some, so listen to your skin. While this product seems to offer some benefits for overall skin health, it may not be the best choice for targeting specific concerns like blemishes. As always, maintaining a good hydration routine is key to supporting your skin's natural barrier function.

After the Atobarrier Cream became too oily and the Emulsion caused a reaction, I wandered like a nomad until I discovered this cream. This moisturizer has low oil content and is incredibly hydrating. Previously, when my skin flared up, I tried it with my usual toner but saw no improvement. This time, based on the ingredients I saw on Hwahae, I applied Torriden Soothing Cream, this product, and Tea Tree 100 Oil without toner. Amazingly, about 4 hours later, my skin had completely calmed down. It's a legendary cream! I wasn't even sleeping, just scrolling on my phone, and boom - legendary results. (My skin really loves the Tea Tree 100 Oil, so it could be partly due to that... But this cream pairs better with it than others I've tried!) There was one day when it worked incredibly well, but afterwards it didn't completely eliminate minor blemishes. So for now, I'm giving it 4 stars. However, I haven't been sleeping well lately, which could affect the results. If I see more improvement, I'll definitely add that fifth star later!
ConsThe scent is similar to the serum from the same line, and it's not particularly pleasant. But given how well it works, I'll keep using it. I'm not sure if it's because I haven't used it for long, but I can't say if it has a dramatic effect on improving blemish marks yet. Since it contains retinol, it can occasionally cause a tingling sensation. Only apply it at night and avoid putting it on unhealed scars.
TipMy skin is extremely dehydrated, so even when it was irritated, I always applied toner followed by a barrier cream. However, I think it might be better to use a non-oily soothing cream before the barrier cream instead. I've heard that water-based products can be harsh on sensitive skin. Try applying a small amount of soothing cream, then an even smaller amount of barrier cream. Once your skin improves, you can consider reintroducing toner into your routine.

The texture is a translucent, light cream that feels refreshing when applied. It absorbs exceptionally well and doesn't feel heavy on the skin.
ConsAs soon as I applied it, my blemish-prone areas started tingling, and I even developed new pimples. I stopped using it after just one application.

The acne scars have really faded significantly! I'm consistently applying it now, and as long as I use it gently to avoid irritation, I think I'll keep using it for a long time!
ConsIf you apply too much, it can cause a tingling sensation. You need to use an appropriate amount for the best results.

ConsAfter using it for just one day, my forehead and cheeks became red and inflamed the next morning. It seems this product doesn't suit me... I'm applying Lidermex ointment now, but it stings a bit. If you have super sensitive skin, test it by applying a small amount for a week.

The retinol helped with skin regeneration, while the cica ingredient calmed my skin, leading to quick improvement after blemishes. The cream applies smoothly and keeps the skin hydrated for a long time, preventing dryness. I especially felt it strengthening my skin barrier, and without any irritation, my skin gradually became smoother and more elastic.
ConsAs it's a retinol product, I experienced some tingling and irritation when I first started using it, which might be a bit harsh for super sensitive skin. Also, in the initial phase of use, my skin felt dry, so I had to apply an additional moisturizer.

It absorbs well and smoothly.
ConsHowever, since it's a cream, I applied a lot and it feels a bit hot on my skin. I'm not sure if it's okay for my skin. The fragrance is extremely artificial. I had high hopes, but it feels a bit tingling and I'm disappointed. Other brands' retinol products worked well for me, but this one is really not good at all.
