Especially when applied generously at night and going to sleep, it seems to calm down even faster, which I like!
ConsThe finishing touch feels a bit superficial, so a process of thorough absorption is necessary.

It is fragrance-free. As a person with dry and sensitive skin that is prone to redness, I was able to use it without any irritation.
ConsAt first, it had a fair amount of oiliness which I liked, but after using it for over a month, I found the oiliness to be a bit lacking. While it thoroughly controls sebum, for my dry skin, using a small amount felt insufficient.
TipThe oily feel may not suit those with oily skin types.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst, it's now winter, so my skin has become extremely dry from the inside out, and even though I use a face mask every day, the moisture doesn't seem to come back. Texture The texture is firm and solid, yet it applies smoothly and softly without any issues. Fragrance It's fragrance-free! I tend to dislike it when basic skincare products have fragrance, so the fact that it's unscented was a plus for me. Color An interesting point is that the color is an earthy tone, but it doesn't leave any color on the skin when applied. Moisture/Hydration This is the most important part - the moisture level doesn't seem to be very high. It feels more like it has more oil than water, so it's more of a nourishing, moisturizing type rather than a hydrating one.
ConsSince it's more of a moisturizing cream than a hydrating one, if you apply too much, you can feel a bit of an oily, slick sensation on the skin. Also, if you're trying to get both moisture and hydration from this cream, the oiliness will just increase, so you'll need to pre-hydrate with other basic skincare products.

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.Pros☆As a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I received the product and wrote this review after using it for about a week☆ Texture_ When first touching it with a spatula or applying it to the skin, it has a dense (?) feel. It's as if the cream is clumped together. And when examined closely, there are some granule-like things, but they don't feel gritty on the skin, so they don't cause much irritation. Usage_ It applies smoothly. It's like the clumped oil gently melts at a warm temperature when applied! The spreadability is good. Fragrance_ Despite the rich color, there is hardly any fragrance. There is no lingering scent left on the skin, so those sensitive to fragrance don't need to worry.
ConsSkin Type_ For those with combination skin leaning towards oily, or for those with very oily skin, it might feel too greasy. As I also have oily skin, I only used a small amount at night. While it didn't cause any breakouts, there were quite a few times when I felt it sitting on top of my skin, depending on my skin condition. Usage_ It applies smoothly, but there was a slight stickiness after applying it all over. It wasn't severe, so I think it's fine if you use an amount suitable for your skin type and let it absorb properly. Packaging_ The spatula is longer than the diameter of the lid, so it's not very convenient to store. If the inner opening of the lid was made just big enough to scoop out the cream, it would be more practical for both usage and storage.
TipI only used a small amount, as I felt a larger amount like a lightweight moisturizer would be too much for my skin. I scooped out a small amount, spread it all over my palms first, and then gently patted it onto my cheeks.

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.ProsHere is a review of the product I used for 2 weeks. My usual skin type is combination (oily T-zone) with occasional acne and dryness around the chin area. The scent is very mild, almost unnoticeable. The formula has capsules, but it is still very gentle and smooth to apply. As the name 'Barrier Cream' suggests, it creates a moisturizing barrier on the skin, leaving it feeling hydrated for a long time. I've used it on days when my skin felt irritated, and it helped to soothe the inflammation. This cream is recommended for the cold, windy winter season.
ConsAs someone with combination (oily T-zone) skin, I was looking for a cream that could address my persistent dryness while providing a hydrating finish. While I was excited to try this product as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I found that when I applied it the same way I do my regular cream, it left a slightly greasy, overly-oily feeling on my skin. This resulted in the reappearance of some small blemishes that I don't usually have. So for those with similar combination or oily skin types, I would recommend being cautious and perhaps using a lighter hand when applying this cream. I also noticed that when I used this cream as a base before applying makeup, the oil seemed to come through quite quickly. Personally, I would not recommend this cream for oily skin types, but those with combination skin who struggle with dryness might be able to make it work with a careful application. For dry skin types, this could be a good option. As for repurchasing, I'm still unsure at this point.
TipBased on my personal experience, I think this cream would be an excellent choice for those who struggle with severe dryness, especially during the cold, windy winter months when the skin can feel tight and dehydrated. For my own routine, I typically apply a toner pad, followed by a hydrating serum, a light moisturizer, and then this barrier cream. I found that when I used this cream, applying just a small, pea-sized amount after the serum step worked well for me. This way, I was able to get the hydrating benefits without feeling like the cream was too heavy or oily on my skin. I also noticed that my makeup didn't seem to get as shiny or separated throughout the day when I used this cream as part of my routine. The cream helped to create a smooth, hydrated base without contributing to excess oil production. So for those with drier skin types, or for use during the drier seasons, I would definitely recommend giving this cream a try. Just be mindful of your application technique and amount - a little goes a long way, especially for areas that don't tend to get as oily. This way, you can really maximize the moisturizing benefits without any unwanted shine.
