Texture: The texture is heavier and maintains its form more than a hydrating cream. When applied, it doesn't get absorbed all at once in a smooth manner, but has a slightly tacky feeling, so you need to pat it in gently. Since I'm still on the drier side, I'm using an additional cream, but I think this will be sufficient on its own once summer comes. Fragrance: The fragrance is not overpowering, with a light herbal scent, more like centella or pennywort than fresh grass. But you really have to bring it close to your nose to detect it, so it's almost fragrance-free when applied. Ingredients: Looking at the ingredients, there are some that could potentially clog pores or cause irritation, but as long as your skin is not highly sensitive, it should be fine to use. It's great that you don't need to use a lot to feel moisturized.
ConsThe lack of an integrated spatula is a bit concerning in terms of hygiene. And it doesn't completely address the internal dryness, so for those with very dry skin, you may want to use another product to tackle the dryness more effectively.

It really suits me well <Skin Type> I have extremely sensitive combination skin! The cheeks and upper forehead are extremely dry, while the lower forehead and around the mouth are oily. <Advantages> - It doesn't sting (skin + eye area) Even when I used this product during a time when the weather was getting hotter and my skin was becoming more sensitive, causing skin troubles and folliculitis to flare up, it didn't sting when I applied it. The Innisfree hyaluronic acid is lightweight yet quite moisturizing, and while I did feel a slight tingling sensation around my eyes, I didn't have that feeling with this product. Also, my skin became much more soothed and no new troubles popped up. - It's low in oil It's not as watery as a pure hydrating cream, but it maintains a moisturizing texture like a sleeping pack while being much less oily! I used to use sleeping packs on my dry cheeks, which provided good moisture but had a very thick and sticky texture that caused troubles on my forehead. This product was fine in that regard. - It has good moisturizing power During seasonal changes and with my combination skin, if I used something too light I'd wake up with a tight face, but if I used something too heavy it would cause troubles on my forehead. After using this product, the tightness in the morning disappeared. - It absorbs well + doesn't get shiny The dry areas on my cheeks and upper forehead absorbed it nicely, leaving no product residue on my face. The lower forehead area also absorbed it well, but did get a bit shiny over time. However, the shininess wasn't due to excess oil, and I didn't get any troubles on my forehead.
ConsIt's hard for me to find any downsides to this product that suits me so well. - No built-in tool As I tend to use products neatly, the lack of a built-in tool is a bit of a shame! But the price is reasonable, so I can overlook this.
TipThese days during the gradually warming period like April, I've just been using toner + the Holika Holika cream. If I use toner + another moisturizer + the Holika Holika cream, a lot more oil comes up on my forehead compared to using it alone. I've also included the amount of cream I use per application. I apply 2/3 of that amount to my cheeks and the remaining 1/3 to my oily forehead and mouth area.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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 dry, oily, combination, and prone to blemishes. On top of that, it's also sensitive, so before using a new product, I always carefully patch test a small amount first to see if it's suitable for me. 💚Texture At first glance, the texture seemed a bit heavy to me. But when I actually applied it, the texture turned out to be just right - not too heavy, not too light, like a nice lotion. It was easy and pleasant to apply. I was worried it might cause blemishes since it felt a bit heavy, but the areas where I have existing blemishes didn't get worse, so I've been using it well. 💚Fragrance The fragrance is lightly refreshing and pleasant, which I enjoy every time I apply it. 💚Packaging The only downside is the packaging and lack of a spatula. Dust gets in every time I use it, and applying it with my fingers isn't ideal from a hygiene perspective. I've been using a spatula I already had to apply it. 💚Moisturizing Compared to the cream I normally use, this seems to lock in moisture better. Even after applying toner, serum, and the barrier cream, the dry areas on my skin don't feel as dry anymore.
ConsThe lack of packaging and a spatula was really disappointing to me. I'm used to using tube-type packaging, so I was worried about dust getting in with this jar-type container. And from a hygiene standpoint, I wish there had been a spatula included.
TipI like to apply this generously as an overnight sleeping pack. In the morning, my skin feels improved and my makeup applies well.

So, since my skin barrier was weak, I would get acne or my skin would become dehydrated, so I was looking for a barrier cream and ended up using it. Pros: - It keeps my skin moisturized without having to apply a moisturizer. - The application is very smooth and creamy, not sticky at all! - My acne doesn't flare up, and my skin feels stronger. - It moisturizes well so my face doesn't feel tight.
ConsDownsides: - There's no spatula, so you have to apply it with your hands. - You have to be careful with the amount you use. Using too much can make it feel oily.
TipHighly recommended for dry skin! The moisturizing is really great. If you use it as a night care, your skin will be glowing in the morning.

After using the product for over 10 days, here's my honest review: The cream has a smooth and creamy texture with just the right amount of moisture. While it may not be moisturizing enough for extremely dry skin, it would be a great choice for those looking for a balanced, non-greasy hydration. I compared the texture and application to similar products I've used, and found this one to have the highest viscosity but the least oily feel after application. It provides a comfortable, non-burdensome coverage, making it more suitable for normal to dry skin types rather than extremely dry complexions. As a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I've tried various combinations, including using the cream alone, with a squalane-based moisturizer before makeup, and with a ceramide-based cream at night. While the moisture level was slightly lacking for my very dry skin during the coldest period, I was overall satisfied with the smooth, non-irritating application.
ConsDespite being a dome-type product, it does not have a built-in spatula, which was disappointing. Personally, I like to layer an extra moisturizing cream before bed or when my skin is dry, but I've found that the second application tends to slide off slightly, which is a bit of a letdown.
Tip🍯 TIP I think controlling the amount is very important for this product. If you have oily skin, you can use just a small amount without the lotion step, and if you have dry or dehydrated skin, I recommend mixing a small amount with your usual thin moisturizer and using it as a moisturizing cream, especially in the changing seasons or cold weather.

Although the texture seems heavy, it absorbs quickly into the skin after a few rolls. It's perfect to use as a night cream, like a sleeping pack. Some creams leave marks on the pillow and stick to the hair, but the Holika Ceramide Barrier doesn't have that issue as it adheres well to the skin. As someone with a compromised skin barrier, I was able to use this cream with confidence as it helps restore the skin barrier. It also doesn't cause any pilling when I apply makeup in the morning, which I really appreciate!! Even after using it for over a week, I haven't experienced any breakouts. It seems to be a very gentle cream that provides the right amount of hydration and nourishment without causing any trouble. I recommend this product.
ConsWhile I didn't have any issues with the usage and effects, the product didn't come with a spatula, so I've been using one I had at home. I think the tube type would be a bit more convenient.

Additionally, if the oil-moisture balance is disrupted, it immediately turns upside down. 🎈The texture is moderately thick and bouncy! It has a yogurt-like texture. But it's not sticky or extremely heavy. I usually apply lightweight products, so I was a bit worried, but it actually feels better than just applying a lightweight moisturizer, as there's no tightness on the surface. (This is my first time using a ceramide cream!) It helps with inner dryness, and when the oil-moisture balance is disrupted in the winter, applying it helps restore the skin barrier and is beneficial. 🎈I started using the ceramide cream because my acne flared up a lot in the winter due to the disrupted oil-moisture balance, but after using it for about a week, I didn't experience any breakouts on my face! This may vary from individual to individual. 🎈The scent is a mild citrus, and I liked it! I personally enjoy citrus scents, and it's not overwhelmingly strong, so it should be fine for those who are not very sensitive to fragrances.
Cons💧It seems most of us have similar opinions, but it's inconvenient that a spatula is not included 🥲 Since it's related to hygiene, I recommend using a cotton swab like me or purchasing a spatula separately! 💧There are no other disappointing points!
Tip✨ I recommend adjusting the amount to suit your skin! As an oily-skinned person, I found that using a cotton swab to scoop up a generous amount and applying it thinly all over the face worked well for me!

Cons- I was worried about using it due to the allergy-causing ingredients - I'm hesitant to repurchase because of the long ingredient list🥺 (it would be better if there were fewer ingredients) - It would be nice if it had an internal tool
TipI'd recommend using this as a night cream! Dry-skinned folks can use it through the winter and seasonal changes, while oily-skinned folks should patch test first before using this highly moisturizing product.😉
