My skin tends to lose its oil and moisture balance, leading to deep dryness when I use lightweight, watery formulas. So I have to be really careful about choosing products that can address this issue. In summer, I usually finish my routine with a hydrating cream containing panthenol for that extra moisture boost. But come autumn, the air gets drier, and I really needed a more nourishing product. I discovered this gem while testing samples during an Olive Young sale. After checking the ingredient list on Hwahae and seeing how great the formulation was, I decided to buy it (though I ended up purchasing from Hwahae since it was cheaper there, haha). I was actually torn between this and the Manyo Factory Allantoin cream, but I heard that one was quite heavy. I was worried about pilling under makeup, so I went for this one instead. I was a bit concerned since this is a moisturizing cream, but honestly, it's not heavy at all! It's more like... refreshing? Somewhere between a hydrating and moisturizing cream. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated without interfering with makeup application. That said, I was originally looking for something a bit richer, so I'm considering either buying another moisturizer or a facial oil. But that doesn't mean this cream isn't good - I'm super satisfied with it! Overall, it's pretty great. I made a good choice!
ConsThe only downside is that the 70g size is on the smaller side, so I feel like I'll use it up quickly. However, a little goes a long way, so I'm trying to use it sparingly. Also, the scent... I'm not usually sensitive to fragrances, but this one is a bit off-putting. It's somewhere between cucumber and a chemical smell. Hmm... Fortunately, the scent doesn't linger after application, so I'm managing to use it despite that.
TipI think this works great even when used on its own!

It has a thick, Greek yogurt-like texture, but it's absolutely packed with hydration. The rich, bouncy feel makes it perfect for use all year round, morning and night. If you're looking for a go-to daily moisturizer, this is it! ➰Texture and Feel My skin type is typically dry, but lately I've been dealing with blemishes and combination dehydrated skin - oily on the surface but dry underneath after skincare. My skin barrier was pretty compromised. 😢 But this cream was exactly what I needed! It's perfect for combination dehydrated skin, striking just the right balance between oil and moisture. It's not too light or drying for dry skin, not too heavy for oily skin, and it's gentle enough for sensitive skin - it's even passed sensitivity tests. No matter your skin type, hydration is crucial, right? I think this cream could work for all skin types - combination dehydrated, dry, oily, combination, sensitive, you name it! ✔️ Bouncy finish without stickiness ✔️ No excess oil or deep dryness over time ✔️ Absorbs well, great application 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ✔️ Delivers a hydrated glow and deep moisture ➰Texture It has a slightly thick, yogurt-like consistency, but it spreads smoothly without feeling heavy. If you're worried about that rich texture leaving an oily residue, don't be! This cream absolutely never feels greasy. It's not too light either - it really locks in moisture and feels like it creates a hydrating layer on your skin. 🫶🏻 ➰'Wave Cream' 〰️ This cream is called a 'wave cream' because it combines 'water glow + skin texture care'. I highly recommend it for anyone needing to repair their skin barrier! My barrier was compromised, but this cream balanced my skin's oil and moisture levels and packed it with hydration, significantly improving my skin's condition. ➰Lasting Hydration I usually apply it 2-3 times, using it as the final step in my skincare routine. Even when applied generously, it absorbs smoothly without pilling. Layering it 2-3 times just adds more hydration. When I apply it thickly at night, I wake up to skin that feels bouncy and hydrated, not greasy. The hydration really lasts!
Cons➰Scent It has a cool, aquatic scent that's reminiscent of cucumber soap or men's skincare products. Personally, I found the fragrance neither particularly good nor bad, but it might be a matter of personal preference. Since it contains fragrance, those with sensitive skin should take note.
Tip📢I liked this so much that I bought the Wave Ampoule from the same line with my own money! 💖 I wanted to try using them together. Using it along with the Wave Ampoule makes it even better! 💙

I was especially struggling with severe dead skin cells and dryness, causing intense skin tightness. Even applying gentle skincare products after cleansing felt stinging and irritating. I was really stressed about it, but luckily I got to try this great product as a Hwahae Tester! 1. Satisfying experience The best part was absolutely zero irritation! Everything else I applied felt stinging and sensitizing, but this product caused no discomfort at all! As my skin condition worsened, I tried many different products, but they only increased skin heat and redness, making it more painful. However, this product was truly soothing - it felt revolutionary! Thanks to ingredients great for hydration and calming like lacto-hyaluronic acid, panthenol, allantoin, and squalane, I felt my skin condition improve for the first time in a while! The redness significantly subsided, and the dead skin cells improved tremendously. 2. Texture It's a balm type that felt slightly thick when squeezed onto the back of my hand, but when applied to my face, it absorbed well without feeling heavy! I've found that for fall and winter, balm types like this product provide better hydration and lasting power than gel types, and feel less irritating on the skin. The low-irritation formula, which has passed skin irritation tests, feels perfect for my skin.
ConsThe price point is a bit high, so it might be burdensome without a discount. However, I acknowledge the product's effectiveness. Personally, I found it to be an excellent skincare product for this season. Also, while it wasn't a major issue, the scent is slightly... reminiscent of mom's cosmetics? It's not overpowering, but rather subtle. Since I'm sensitive to fragrances and the cosmetics I usually use are truly 'unscented', I might have been more sensitive to it. If I had to point out something, I think the scent could be hit or miss for those who are particular about fragrances.
TipWhen your skin is particularly sensitive and irritated, try layering it thinly multiple times like a sleeping pack before bed. The calming effect when you wake up is outstanding!

Ointment-like texture. No skin irritation This product didn't cause any blemishes, and even when applied to sensitive skin, there was no tingling sensation, suggesting it's non-irritating. Absorbs well/Not sticky Despite its slightly thick texture, which I thought would be heavy and sticky, it has excellent absorption. It sinks in without leaving any residue, so there's no stickiness. Doesn't get oily I expected it to be greasy due to its thickness, but it absorbs quickly and doesn't lead to excess oil production.
ConsLacks moisturizing effect It didn't feel particularly hydrating or moisturizing. Perhaps due to its quick absorption, the moisturizing effect seems to diminish over time. Scent (the biggest drawback!!!) The scent is somewhat reminiscent of ointment and isn't pleasant. People with sensitivities might find the fragrance a bit dizzying. It smells like a heavy perfume (not a good one) or ointment. Given that they've used high-risk fragrances, I wish they had at least chosen a more pleasant scent.
TipYou might be able to use it more effectively by adding a drop or two of facial oil for extra hydration.

I was pleasantly surprised that this cream provided both a rich feel and hydration at the same time. The richness doesn't leave my face feeling greasy or shiny after absorption - it's just enough to keep my skin from feeling dry. I never thought I'd settle on a cream, but I think I've found my go-to. I'm truly satisfied with this product.
ConsThere aren't any real drawbacks, but if I had to pick something, I'd say it has a slight scent that reminds me of men's skincare products.

Please note that this is my personal opinion. Skin type: Dry (especially on the cheeks, combination dehydrated skin on the forehead), super sensitive skin I was actually looking forward to this product after hearing that a YouTuber I follow was involved in its development! Hydration: As we all know, Dermatory is famous for their excellent skincare basics, and this product certainly lives up to expectations! They've made an effort to increase absorption by using smaller hyaluronic acid molecules this time. My skin tends to be most sensitive and dry during seasonal changes, but thanks to this cream, I definitely experienced less dryness! Texture improvement: As a product known as the 'wave cream', it noticeably smooths out rough skin texture after application. I now understand why it's called a wave cream! It also absorbs well, making it easy to apply. Feel on skin: While many products on the market are either sticky for hydration or thick for moisturizing, this one doesn't feel heavy or sticky at all! With its lightweight formula, it absorbs quickly into the skin, forming a protective barrier. As someone with dry skin that needs barrier repair, I found this particularly satisfying.
ConsIf I had to pick something... the scent is slightly reminiscent of men's toner. Most basic skincare products are usually fragrance-free, so I was surprised by the toner-like scent. However, it's not at all bothersome or overpowering, so it didn't bother me.
TipI apply small amounts in multiple layers, and it works well for managing dryness!

It improves the overall texture of my skin, so I even apply it on the back of my hands on important days. Also, after lunch and brushing my teeth, the area around my mouth usually gets very dry. But when I gently apply this over my makeup and let it absorb, it not only settles any cakey areas but also makes touch-ups a breeze! I highly recommend it!
ConsThere's a slight medicinal scent to it. I don't mind it, but I think some people who are sensitive to these kinds of smells might not like it. For me, it's just perfect.
TipWhen doing touch-ups, try applying this cream first and letting it absorb well before gently patting on foundation. Your makeup will look flawless!

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.ProsHere's my review after using the Hyal Shot Barrier Cream B5 for a week, which I received through The Hwahae Testers: My current skin type is combination, and with the change of seasons, it's extremely dry except for the T-zone, with some redness due to dryness. • A rich moisturizer ideal for dry skin types • Quickly alleviates dryness • With consistent use over a week, it seems to gradually improve dry skin • Absorbs relatively quickly After a week of use, I've noticed that consistent application gradually helps manage dryness. I think those with dry skin who use it regularly could see significant hydration benefits! The rich formula seems to absorb fairly quickly, so with proper amount control, it doesn't cause pilling when applying makeup.
Cons• The texture may be a bit heavy for oily or combination skin types • Due to its rich nature, it may cause blemishes in areas where the skin's oil balance doesn't match • The scent may be divisive As it's a moisturizing cream, it has a rich texture that might be too heavy for those with oily skin. Also, in areas with more oil production, the product's richness might easily lead to blemishes! And personally, I didn't like the fragrance! It reminded me slightly of pet food, which was off-putting.
TipNo need to worry about how much to use at night, but be sure to control the amount when applying in the morning! Don't give up if you don't see immediate hydration results! With consistent use, you'll be able to enjoy the moisturizing benefits.

I really dislike sticky products, so I usually give away emulsions and creams that feel sticky on first use. But this one? I'll be using it all myself, haha! The glow (or is it the oil?) gives a nice, subtle sheen. It's perfect for that natural, glowing look we all love! The hydration is amazing. I have dry skin and I'm always craving moisture. This feels like it's quenching my skin's thirst and locking in that much-needed hydration. I love how lightweight it is. While I don't mind heavier products due to my dry skin, this isn't just for one skin type. It's not too light or too heavy, making it suitable for everyone! The size is... compact? Just right? It's perfect for travel, though I suppose that could be seen as a downside for some...
ConsThe scent might be hit or miss. I wasn't a fan (it reminds me of a mix between medication and cream? Just my personal opinion!), but my boyfriend loved it! He was like, 'Wow, this smells great!' As a Hwahae Tester, I checked the price thinking I might repurchase, but it seems a bit pricey for the amount you get... Sigh...

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.ProsThe packaging is sleek, and the cream offers a noticeable hydration with decent moisturizing power. It finishes with a fresh feel, almost no stickiness. My T-zone is oily while my U-zone is extremely dry. To be honest, one application didn't leave my U-zone feeling incredibly moisturized. As the weather gets colder, I'll probably need to apply multiple layers or mix it with an oil or balm. I'd recommend this as a fall/winter cream for those with oily skin.
ConsThe fragrance... it really seems to overshadow even the product's good points. It has that typical old-school 'mom's cosmetics' scent, but it's not just subtle - it's strong enough to cause nausea and headaches. Whether it's due to the fragrance or not (I can't be certain of the exact cause-effect), I experienced some blemishes while using it. To be honest, I forced myself to use it a few times just to write this review, but I've stopped using it since. I was really surprised, as I assumed it would be unscented based on the packaging alone. If they reformulate it to be fragrance-free, I might consider buying it again in summer.
TipIf you have sensitive skin or are particularly sensitive to fragrances, make sure to get a sample and try it first.
