The texture was just like a slightly watery aloe vera gel. The usage felt cool and refreshing, and the hydration was good!
ConsTo be honest, this product didn't really work for me as there were more downsides than upsides🥲 First, the fragrance is too strong for a skincare product, so it might be a hit or miss for those sensitive to scents...Whenever I applied this, I would feel a strange tingling sensation that bothered me before bed. And even though I had been diligently caring for my skin and my acne-prone issues had cleared up for a few months, as soon as I started using this, I woke up with a few white heads the next day 😭😭😭 As someone who is anxious about going back to an acne-prone state, I definitely won't be repurchasing this with my own money.

My skin is acne-prone and tends to be oily and combination. - Texture: It has a slightly thick, non-flowing texture. It wasn't too runny, so it was easy to apply. It absorbs well into the skin and isn't too lightweight, which I actually liked.😊 - Usage Experience: The pros are that it has a moisturizing, plumping feel and a slight cooling effect. The initial application felt satisfactory. - Packaging: The packaging is clean and tidy. Some may have mixed opinions, but I liked the pump dispenser as it was convenient to use.
Cons- Usage Experience: Since my skin is quite sensitive, I felt a bit of irritation when applying it. There was a slight stinging sensation, especially in the areas I had pressed down on. I've been trying to adjust the amount I use, starting with less and gradually increasing. - Fragrance: It has a refreshing scent that I've smelled somewhere before. The fragrance itself is fine, but these days many products are fragrance-free, so the strong scent was not my preference. It would be great if the fragrance could be toned down a bit.🥲
TipThis serum has a slightly heavier texture and a pleasant fragrance, so it may be a good fit for those looking for those qualities in a serum.

I wasn't sure how to review the soothing effects, but it turned out to be the perfect time to test it out. 🥹 From the evening I received it 10 days ago, I used it for 10 days, and most of the issues have now subsided! In addition to the usual small bumps, I often had folliculitis, and even though my skin looked fine on the surface, it felt rough and grainy when touched. But the 🔥 red, inflammatory, and suppurative acne that frequently appeared on my forehead seemed to calm down faster. The texture is like a firm aloe vera gel. The photo was taken a few minutes after 2 pumps, so the texture is a bit firmer than what the photo suggests. It has a matte finish without a dewy glow, but you can still feel a slight moisturizing sensation when touched. As the product gets used up, the bottom rises, allowing you to intuitively check the remaining amount and use it up completely, which I found to be a nice feature. Overall, it seems like a reliable product to use.
ConsSince my skin is quite sensitive, I usually use skincare products without any risky ingredients. I won the 'Hwahae Trial Reviewer' program and used a product with fragrance for the first time in a while, so I was worried it might be irritating. Fortunately, I didn't have any major issues like breakouts, but I do remember a slight stinging sensation on the first and second day of use. Most of all, I just don't understand why they had to use fragrance. For someone like me who is particular about product ingredients, it's a huge barrier, and even for those who care about the scent, the fragrance isn't particularly pleasant - it's somewhere between a sweet phytoncide, an old aloe gel, and a lukewarm pine needle. I'm concerned about both the use of fragrance and the scent itself. Since my original serum doesn't have fragrance and there isn't a significant difference in terms of soothing effects, I'll likely go back to using my original serum once I finish this product.

Hose pumps often don't work well when they're almost empty, but this one seems to work well! Initially, I was worried that the water gel formula might be sticky or greasy, but after applying it, it absorbed well and didn't feel greasy. The gel formula's good spreadability is a big advantage. At first, it seemed a bit dry, but increasing the amount made it work well. Being lightweight, I tend to use more, but even then, it just feels 'bouncy' rather than sticky, and it seems to help hold my base makeup well. And the scent is nice while using it. It's not overly feminine and dissipates quickly, so I think even men could use it comfortably. Although the effects aren't strongly noticeable yet since I've only used it for a short time, my cheeks do seem a bit more refined. My pores don't appear enlarged.
ConsBeing lightweight, I tend to use more, so it seems like it will run out quickly. And the regular price is quite expensive, so I'm not sure I could afford it. As mentioned in other reviews, I also experienced a slight stinging sensation sometimes. It's not severe, and it goes away over time. There's no breakout or redness, so I just kept using it morning and night.
TipAdjust the amount you use carefully, and you'll find that it helps hold your base makeup well!

Container The container is in the form of a vacuum pump, so the amount dispensed is always consistent and appropriate, allowing you to use it without having to scoop it out. Although I haven't used it up completely yet, it seems like I'll be able to use it all up without any waste. 2. Fresh and lightweight application The formula is like an aloe gel, so it applies lightly and smoothly. After applying, there is no stickiness at all, and it feels refreshing, making it easy to apply without any burden. Perfect for those who dislike stickiness! 3. Quick absorption The absorption is incredibly fast. That's why it's easy to reapply, and even if you apply it frequently when your skin feels dry, there's no issue with stickiness due to the fast-absorbing nature.
Cons1. Fragrance The fragrance is stronger than a subtle one. In my opinion, the fragrance was extremely strong. Since I dislike fragrances, I felt a bit conscious of it when applying and even after applying. The fragrance is like dad's skin + phytoncide. 2. Dryness While there is a sense of replenishing moisture, it feels a bit dry for dry skin types. It really just gives a feeling of only providing moisture! It seems like it would be good for oily skin types to use in the summer. 3. Slight stinging If you apply too much, you can feel a slight stinging. I'm not sure if this is due to the fragrance or an incompatible ingredient, but it's best to apply an appropriate amount.
TipIt seems like it would be good to use this together with a gel cream in the summer!

When dispensed from the pump, it maintains a nice, firm texture. The texture is similar to that of an aloe gel. Even though it's a humid and hot summer, and air conditioning can make the skin dry, this product has the right amount of moisturizing power, not too much or too little. It doesn't make the skin feel tight. The product contains calming centella, moisturizing hyaluronic acid, and anti-aging adenosine, making it a convenient all-in-one care product that can be recommended to consumers who want simple yet effective skincare. After using it consistently every day, I noticed that my dull and rough skin texture became more hydrated and supple.
ConsSometimes, I felt a slight stinging sensation when applying it to my face. It also had a scent that reminded me of a men's skincare product. Since I usually use fragrance-free products, the strong scent was initially unpleasant, but I got used to it over time.

When you squeeze it onto the back of your hand, it doesn't immediately run down, and it's easy to apply on the face. 😊Spreadability With its aloe vera-like texture, it feels like it adheres well to the skin when applied. A little goes a long way, so you don't need to use too much. You can see from the photo on the back of my hand how easily it spreads.
Cons😭Fragrance There was a bit of a scent when using it, which I didn't like. The fragrance lingers for quite a while. I'm not sure if this is the reason, but I felt a slight stinging sensation. (The stinging sensation went away over time) 😭Stickiness I apply essence, toner, serum, and then lotion, and I'm not sure if that's the reason, but there was a bit of a sticky feeling left behind, and I had to pat it in a lot when applying the lotion, which made my makeup application feel a bit tacky.

Fragrance: A blend of the phytoncide scent found in the skin lotions used by elderly men at the sauna. Efficacy: Excellent value for money in terms of skin texture improvement and blemish removal. Overall: A solid recommendation as an introductory product for those looking to improve skin texture or remove blemishes.
ConsOn the positive side, it does provide moisture, but there is a lingering stickiness that I find disappointing. The fragrance may also be divisive. Since I used it in the summer, that may have been a factor, but some people commented 'Why does my face feel so sticky?' At times, my sensitive skin also felt a slight stinging sensation.
TipIf you dislike getting it on your pillow or clothes, I recommend applying it 10 minutes before.

The pros and cons are similar to when using aloe. The scent - a refreshing, cool scent! It's like the scent of aloe, but a bit stronger, so it might divide opinions. Suitable as a pre-makeup moisture base - it effectively tackles dryness, just like aloe, quickly absorbing and serving well as a moisture base. The difference from aloe is that once absorbed, it doesn't dry out quickly but maintains a moderate level of moisture. As I have dry skin, it should also work well for oily skin types in the summer as a substitute for lotion, as it's refreshing. (It really prevents the pores on the nose area from getting clogged and removes dead skin cells smoothly. In the summer when pores open up and sebum can break through makeup, this product prevents that issue. I'd recommend it to those who have trouble with makeup clinging to the nose area!) Moisturizing - it's not as long-lasting as a moisturizing cream, but it has a deep, absorbed moisture. There's no residue on the surface, as it quickly sinks in and doesn't wipe off. Low irritation - as the product claims, you only feel the cooling sensation when the irritation subsides, without any actual irritation. It's cool and moisturizing, so it should be good for children as well. Cooling effect - it becomes refreshingly cool the moment you apply it and when it slightly dissipates. It's not a burning sensation, but more like the feeling of applying real aloe. Soothing effect - the cooling sensation naturally brings a soothing effect. When applying the cool serum to blemished areas, it has a calming effect.
ConsThe case-pump makes a squeaking sound every time it's used ㅠㅜ The case is disappointing. If the moisture-retaining ingredients like aloe evaporate quickly and the dry components are left, it will likely feel dry if you don't apply something on top. There's a slight cooling sensation when it evaporates, but it stings a bit when it touches areas with blemishes (like acne-prone skin) (similar to the feeling of applying a skin serum on a wounded area).
TipThe case-pump makes a creaking sound every time it's used. It's a pity about the case. If the moisture-retaining ingredients like aloe evaporate quickly and the dry components are used for makeup, it seems like it will be dry if nothing more is applied on top. When it evaporates, there is a slight cooling sensation, but if it touches areas with wounds (such as acne-prone skin), there is a slight stinging sensation (similar to the feeling of applying a skin serum to a wounded area). 1-Package 2-Before application 3-After application 4-Formulation viscosity 5-After makeup (please check the nose area)

The formula absorbs quickly without feeling heavy or sticky. 💚Hydration: As a hydrating serum, it didn't feel drying at all and left my skin feeling nicely moisturized. 💚Breakouts: I didn't experience any breakouts after using it!
Cons❌Fragrance: The scent was like cheap bath products in a sauna... If they had to add fragrance, I wish it was a nicer one. Just improving the fragrance could make a big difference~ ❌Irritation: There was a slight stinging or tingling sensation right after applying it. I wasn't too worried about breakouts, but it made me a bit hesitant to use it.
Tip🍯Normally these gel formulas can feel slippery, but this one absorbed right in without leaving a tacky residue, so I could apply it before my makeup without any issues.
