It has a subtle hibiscus scent and a barley tea-like color! The dropper format makes it convenient to use.
ConsIt might be a bit drying for those with dry skin. The scent could also be hit or miss for some people.
TipIt works well when applied in multiple layers.

I also loved the subtle floral scent, possibly hibiscus, which felt natural and not artificial.
ConsI have sensitive skin, so I was a bit worried when I felt a slight warmth on my face upon initial application. However, it settled down after a while and felt fine!

Beige-colored ampoule. I liked that the scent wasn't strong and barely noticeable. The box suggested using it as a toner replacement? I tried applying the ampoule first, then toner, then emulsion, and also in the original order of toner, ampoule, emulsion, but didn't notice much difference.
ConsThere was a slight burning sensation when I first used it! After that, it was fine and I used it without issues. It wasn't super hydrating for me~ Just an average ampoule you can use without problems. I think there's more deep dryness because of the changing seasons, but I do feel some deep dryness!
TipUse it in the way that works best for you! I found that layering it multiple times worked better for me~

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.ProsTexture: Let me start by describing the texture - it's thicker than a toner but thinner than a serum! When I received this product, the enclosed instructions suggested using it in place of toner, so I followed that advice. As you can see in the photo, the contact angle is smaller than water's, indicating its viscosity. Scent: The fragrance isn't overpowering, just a subtle cosmetic scent. It's so mild that even those who dislike fragrances might find it agreeable! Application: When applied right after cleansing, it has a more substantial feel compared to the typical 'splash splash' of a toner. It's more of a 'glide glide' sensation. Being thicker than a toner, it seems to linger on the skin a bit longer. Overall impression: I'm absolutely delighted with it! The generous volume allows for liberal application. As someone with a weak skin barrier prone to blemishes, I was pleased to read in the product description that the gold hibiscus ingredient is beneficial for strengthening the skin barrier. And did you know the CEO is a traditional Korean medicine doctor? That fact, which I learned from the package insert, adds an extra layer of credibility!
ConsI honestly can't think of any downsides! I'm definitely considering repurchasing once I finish this bottle!
TipAfter applying this serum, it leaves a smooth layer on your face. It's best to gently pat it in to aid absorption before following up with your moisturizer.

The formula is light and moisturizing, which means it absorbs well. I'm not a fan of overly thick products, so this one's perfect. The scent is lovely too - my boyfriend and I are both using it! The generous size makes it incredibly cost-effective.
ConsI'd like to mention some downsides, but honestly, I can't think of any...
TipI apply it quite generously. For particularly dry areas, I soak a cotton pad with the product and leave it on, almost like a mini mask treatment.

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 touched by the thoughtful letter and the detailed explanation of ingredients and usage instructions included with the product. The texture is a light brown, slightly runny consistency. It has a slight viscosity but flows immediately when dropped from the dropper. When I first applied it to the back of my hand, I felt a smooth, hydrating coating. I love that there's almost no scent, so it's not off-putting or distracting. After using it on my face for about 10 days, the main effect I noticed was improved skin texture. I used this product instead of my usual toner, applying it morning and night after cleansing. It absorbed gently and smoothly, settling onto my skin with a silky, hydrated feel. After a few days of use, my skin texture became softer. There's no feeling of tightness, and it seems to tighten pores and improve elasticity. A few minutes after application, my skin feels comfortably matte. Recently, I had some flaking and itchy patches, but they've all subsided. It seems effective for skin regeneration and strengthening the skin barrier. There's no stinging when applied - it's truly gentle. The main ingredient, Calendula extract, acts as a plant-based collagen to improve elasticity and strengthen the skin barrier. The Cica ingredients, green tangerine extract, panthenol, and hyaluronic acid seem to help soothe the skin and provide hydration. I think this would work well for dry skin types like mine, as well as those with deep dryness. It supplies nourishment without feeling heavy on the skin, replacing toner, and fills dehydrated, sensitive skin with moisture without irritation, leaving my complexion soothed. For me, the biggest advantage is how it makes my skin healthier with a smoother texture. In summary, it helps improve skin texture and strengthen the skin barrier.
ConsWith its generous amount and quality ingredients, there's not much to criticize. The smooth, runny texture is slightly sticky at first and takes a bit of time to absorb.
TipAfter cleansing, apply this instead of toner and pat it in to absorb. Follow with serum or moisturizer, then a light cream. Finish with sunscreen and cushion foundation for a non-drying routine perfect for the transitional fall season.

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.ProsPackaging: Despite its super lightweight formula, the dropper bottle allows you to use just the right amount you need :) Texture: It flows like water, feels light, and has zero stickiness, making it perfect to apply right after cleansing! It's great for that first layer of hydration after washing your face :) Scent: I love that it's fragrance-free :) Many products claim to be unscented but still have a smell, but this one is amazingly scent-free, so there's no discomfort when applying it :) Experience: As someone with combination dehydrated skin, this worked wonders for me :) Rather than forming a barrier, it seems to replenish lacking moisture, and with absolutely no stickiness, I think I'll use it often in summer :)
ConsExperience: Even though I have combination dehydrated skin that leans oily, I think it might be too dry to use alone in winter, so I'll probably need to pair it with something else :) For those with dry skin, you might find it insufficient even in summer...! No other downsides :)

I love that it comes in a generous 100g size, which is quite large for a serum. The fragrance is a subtle blend of floral and honey notes, which is delightfully aromatic. After using it for over ten days, I feel confident that I can use it without worrying about any blemishes.
ConsIt's matte and dry, so it's not suitable as a moisturizer on its own. You need to apply plenty of cream or oil with it.
TipIf you mix in a few drops of jojoba oil, it becomes moisturizing without feeling dry.

I applied it morning and evening throughout the day. The hydration level was just right, and it absorbed lightly without feeling heavy, so my face didn't feel stuffy. While it doesn't completely eliminate deep dryness, it was perfect for light use in this lingering heat! It didn't cause any blemishes on my face either! The scent might be a bit divisive, but I think it's quite pleasant at this level. I haven't finished the bottle yet, so I might update my review after using it more.
ConsIt has a dropper, but it only fills up halfway instead of completely. It would have been easier to apply if it filled up all at once with a satisfying 'swoosh'.

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• As someone with super sensitive skin, I found this product non-irritating and it absorbs quickly into the skin. • The scent reminds me of houttuynia cordata? I liked that it's not an artificial cosmetic fragrance! It has a slightly pungent herbal smell, so if you're sensitive to natural scents, you might not enjoy it. However, the scent isn't overpowering and dissipates quickly after application. • It has a slightly oily texture when applied, so it might not suit those with very oily skin. • Great for combating deep dryness! After cleansing, start with this serum and finish with an emulsion or cream. • The dropper bottle feels sturdy, so I'm satisfied with its durability too!
ConsWhile it works well for my skin and I can't really find any specific drawbacks, some people might not like the slightly sticky, tape-like feeling it leaves after absorption. It could be a love-it-or-hate-it texture.
TipIt's a lightweight serum, so I use it right after cleansing like a first essence toner! As the weather gets colder, I think this kind of serum is better than a watery toner.
