I don't have problematic skin, and my skin doesn't seem overly dull or sensitive. When I use products that don't suit me or when my body clock is disrupted, I sometimes get pustular breakouts around my nose and mouth area. I prefer products with a moderate amount of oil. I was urgently looking for a new cream as my previous product was discontinued. But each new one I tried was lacking in some way, and then I started working in a place with the heater running full blast, which really worsened my skin texture. That's when I started using this product, and my previously rough cheek skin became smooth! It seems to be a good product for winter. Also, since my U-zone is completely dry, products with this level of oil have definitely helped improve my skin texture. However, compared to the friend I've been using for n years, I found this product a bit heavy. So in the beginning, I had some breakouts on my T-zone. Luckily, after applying an essence that helps strengthen the skin barrier and using only a tiny amount (less than a fingertip) of this cream, my skin condition improved tremendously. I don't feel as much intense dryness, and it's not too oily either - it's just right. I'm usually loyal to products I like, and I think I'll continue using this combination, as it works well for me. + The texture is not too thick or too thin, and the application is just right. In summary: It has a bit stronger oil content, so I need to use only a small amount. It pairs well with an essence that helps the skin barrier. The overall usage experience is smooth. It provides good hydration.
ConsThe fragrance was not strongly noticeable when I used it normally. However, when I was sweating due to some heat around my nose and chin area, a really strange scent came up - it's not like a cosmetic fragrance, but more like the dusty smell of cement. The product seems to have a strong oiliness. I recommend using only a small amount. Even in the winter, I'm only using an amount the size of a soybean. And I'm someone who usually feels dryness easily, so I think it would be quite burdensome to use this in the middle of summer. It doesn't seem suitable for oily, acne-prone skin. I didn't really experience any functional benefits like strengthened skin barrier, brightening, or plumpness. It just felt like a simple oil coating. So it's not a "must-have" product for me, but more of a "so-so" pick. There's a sense of surface-level moisture, but an underlying dryness. I think it's necessary to use an ampoule or essence along with this product.
TipI received the Hwahae trial sample essence and have been using it together. It seems the two work well together. Before using the essence, my skin around the mouth was dry and I was having a lot of breakouts. But after using them together, my skin condition has improved the most. The inner dryness has also decreased.. I recommend this combination for those with combination/dry skin types.

There is a moderately moisturized feeling, but no noticeable improvement in dehydration. It seems more suitable for the transitional seasons or winter. My current skin condition is redness + dryness in most areas (cheeks, nose, chin) except for a slightly oily T-zone + occasional clogged pores and occasional folliculitis. It's a real mess! *** The third photo shows that a few hours after application, there was an overly oily, greasy look on my forehead when I lightly touched it. If you apply it generously like a regular cream, the oiliness can be excessive, so in the summer, it's better to use just a small amount (about the size of a soybean) to control the oil.
Cons- Too greasy due to the coconut oil/shea butter content Even though I have dry skin, my skin is gradually becoming a bit oily with age, so the texture didn't feel refreshing in the summer. There was a vague sense that it was clogging my pores, so I couldn't use it daily and only used it every other day or every 3-4 days. It would probably be better to use it in the cooler, drier fall and winter seasons.
TipThis seems like a good option for those with extremely dry, dehydrated skin. For those with allergies to shea butter or coconut oil, please take note of the ingredients.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros✔️Skin type: Sensitive combination (with redness) ✔️Texture: Has an oily feel on the surface but absorbs moisturizing. (May feel a bit heavy for very oily skin types, but recommended for dry skin.) After application, the skin looks glowy and plump. Not a fully absorbing texture. But also not as plumping as a collagen cream that makes the skin truly bouncy from within. ✔️Fragrance: Almost unscented ✔️Effects?: Didn't feel a significant reduction in dryness, but as an amino acid cream, it seemed to have helped improve the skin barrier, as redness was temporarily reduced. Rather than an intense moisturizing effect, it provides a soothing, protective feel to the skin. ✔️Irritation?: Despite having sensitive skin, didn't experience any breakouts from using this. ✔️Will I repurchase?: Probably. Not an absolute must-have, but if I need a break from the La Roche-Posay balm in the summer when it feels too heavy, I'd likely get this product.
ConsAt most, for oily skin types, if not absorbed properly in small amounts, it could potentially clog pores.
TipFor dry skin, you can apply it generously, but for oily skin, it's best to apply a small amount and gently pat it in to ensure proper absorption and avoid clogged pores.

While the products claim 100% satisfaction in maintaining moisture, I've used many moisturizing products before, but only a few have been able to overcome my dry skin. So I didn't have high expectations when I used this product, but...!!!!!!!!! When I applied just a small amount, I could feel the moisturizing effect from within in real-time. The moisture lasted until lunchtime the next day even after applying it at night before bed. Originally, I had to apply 'toner, ampoule, 2 creams, and Vaseline' before bed due to my extremely dry skin, but after using this product, just 'toner and the Dictionnaire amino acid cream' was sufficient!!!!!!! This is truly amazing... Surprisingly, when I touched it, it felt smooth and soft like oil, but it didn't feel overly oily when applied. ▶️ Heater/UV irritated skin I usually have red, irritated skin from sun allergies and using the heater, but that was no longer a problem after using this product! ▶️ Gentle ingredients This is the first product I've seen from Hwahae that has zero caution ingredients or allergens out of the 20 main ingredients. As a vegan product, it's incredibly gentle, so even those with sensitive skin can use it without worry! ▶️ Texture/Fragrance It has no fragrance, and the texture is not too thick or thin, with no slippage at all - just a smooth, soft formula. I really wanted to write an honest review, and I didn't realize I would praise the product this much, but it's just that good!!! Trust me and give it a try!!
ConsSince this is a moisturizing product, the finish may feel a bit slippery due to the oily texture, which some people may not prefer! I was a bit concerned that the intense moisturization might clog the pores..!
TipI would recommend using it in the evening before bedtime rather than in the morning, and if you use it in the morning, mixing a small amount of the Dictionnaire Amino Acid Cream with a product like sunscreen will help it apply more smoothly.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros✔️ Texture It maintains the intended shape without being stiff, and applies smoothly. ✔️ Fragrance The fragrance is almost odorless, making it suitable for those sensitive to scents. ✔️ Usage It feels like a protective film on the surface, so the active ingredients inside likely won't evaporate.
Cons✔️ Usage While the protective film is good for keeping the active ingredients in, the excess oiliness makes it feel slippery, leaving my hands feeling greasy. ✔️ Skin Concerns The heavy oiliness may have clogged my pores, leading to some trouble managing my skin condition.
TipThe fragrance-free and smooth application make it easy to use. The refreshing feel suggests it could provide hydration and help lock in the benefits of previous skincare steps. However, for oily skin types, the oily finish may be more of a burden than a benefit, and could potentially cause breakouts. It's best to adjust the amount used based on your skin condition.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsMy skin is sensitive and dry. These days, since it's winter, I really wanted to try a moisturizing cream, and I was so happy to win the amino acid cream. The packaging is in a tube form, which is neater and more hygienic than a jar. The texture is similar to a moisturizing cream, a bit creamy. It applies smoothly and has a slight tackiness right after application, but it gets absorbed quickly. The moisturizing effect is not too strong or too weak - it's just average. For someone like me with very dry skin, it might not be enough, so I used it together with a separate moisturizer. It's good for quick and easy use, but it didn't work well for me as it made my milia grow bigger. :(
ConsI don't get along with shea butter, and as expected, the milia under my eyes got bigger, so I had to stop using it. Also, when I wake up in the morning, there are small dewdrop-like sebum spots on the wider pore areas of my cheeks and forehead. :(
TipThis cream alone is not enough for the moisturizing effect. I had to apply a separate moisturizer or essence as well.

After applying it, I didn't feel any tightness even 6 hours later. It seems perfect for dry weather.
ConsWhile there was no tightness over time, I noticed little oil droplets coming out of my pores, which was a bit strange. I wouldn't say it's a downside, but more of an observation from my experience using it.

It leaves the skin feeling moisturized without any greasy residue or heaviness. 👃Fragrance I generally don't prefer fragrances in cosmetics, but this product has no noticeable scent, which I liked. It seems suitable for those sensitive to fragrance or with fragrance preferences. 👍Efficacy During this time of year when heaters and temperature changes are unavoidable, my cheeks usually start to feel itchy, but currently, the itchiness has almost disappeared (3->1). The flakiness has also reduced (3->2). The moisturizing effect has improved the skin texture significantly.
ConsI don't usually get breakouts on my nose, but I've noticed some pimples in my pores. I'm not sure if it's due to the cream, but I thought I'd mention it for your reference. If I had to point out one thing I wish was different, it would be that I'd prefer if the product came in a larger size.
TipIf you apply it thoroughly and generously, especially on areas prone to flakiness and dryness, it works well to prevent makeup from looking cakey or uneven. The extra layer on dry patches helps maintain a smooth, even complexion during makeup application.

As someone with redness-prone skin, the product seems to help balance my oil and moisture levels, so with continued use, I expect to see some improvement. It's a product that gradually becomes less drying over time, so it seems well-suited for use in the fall and winter!
ConsAlthough the product was fragrance-free, there seemed to be a slight chemical-like smell when I woke up after using it. Given that it has some oiliness, it may have clogged my pores, as I developed painful pimples on the sides of my nose each time I applied it. I think those with extremely dry skin types may find this product more suitable.
TipI'd recommend this to those with very dry skin. Applying it in thin, layered applications over time seems to work best.

The tube packaging is convenient and hygienic to use, which I liked. The texture is creamy due to the high glycerin content, and at first I was worried it might not be hydrating enough in the winter as it felt a bit lacking in oil. However, the ceramide ingredients helped form a moisturizing barrier, so it didn't dry out as quickly as I expected. The inclusion of ingredients like shea butter and panthenol that are great for hydration means the skin really drinks up the moisture when applied.
ConsWhile there's no oily shine, the glow level was a bit lacking for my liking in the winter. I think a slightly richer, more cushiony cream would have been better as the weather got colder. The undereye area seemed a bit under-hydrated, appearing slightly creased. The ceramides that form a moisturizing layer are good, but they also tend to cling to the skin and clog pores, leading to congestion and oiliness. Layering this cream causes it to feel a bit tacky and slippery, so it's not ideal for on-the-go touch-ups.
