But upon closer inspection, I realized that it was already in a form that could be used without leaving any residue. I hope there are no more fools like me who try to shake it vigorously before using. Pros: 😃The fragrance is very pleasant and not at all uncomfortable to use. 😊The formula is transparent and the particles are lightweight, so it absorbs well without needing too much patting. 😁Provides an immediate hydrating sensation. 😄As someone with highly sensitive skin, I found it to be quite gentle and suitable even for those with sensitive skin.
Cons🤨In the winter, using this alone felt a bit lacking. 🤔I had to layer it two or three times and add a cream on top to get sufficient hydration... 😂It didn't quite give the feeling of not only providing moisture, but also sealing in the oil barrier.
Tip🍯Don't be stingy, layer it multiple times!! 🍯For oily skin types, this is a great product to replenish moisture without adding excess oil! 🍯I plan to use it in my modeling pack routine!!! After trying it once, the modeling pack felt a bit more supple, so I'm completely satisfied with it. 🍯The image on the right side of my forehead is after application. You can see the absorption once you pat it in!

ConsSince it's dry, there's still a tightness even in the summer. They said that just applying oil wouldn't work for dry skin, so I tried to replenish the moisture, but I don't feel that effect.

I don't think there will be much disagreement on the fragrance. - Application: Applies lightly and smoothly. - Absorption: Absorbs well within 30 seconds with light patting. - Packaging: The container has a built-in 'scraper' that allows you to use up every last bit, which is great for being economical. Being very sensitive, I have a habit of using only the new product I purchased when trying it out. With the Forest, I didn't experience any tightness or breakouts even when using it alone. It absorbs so well that you can layer sunscreen, concealer, and cushion on top without any pilling. As it's a product chosen by the trusted Yuhan Kimberly company and the famous Buseung-gwan, I have even more confidence in it. I was lucky to be selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer this time, but I plan to repurchase it with my own money after finishing this. + TMI: Mr. Buseung-gwan highly recommended the pads, so I'm also interested in trying the serum pads. p.s. The ad claims a 6-year skin age reduction after 4 weeks of use, so I'll come back with a review after 4 weeks.
ConsThere is almost no oiliness, so I would recommend using it with other products for those who prefer oily products.
Tip- It's fun to dispense the product in a heart shape 🩷 which makes me feel good while using it. - On hot days, you can keep it in the fridge and use it for a soothing and cooling effect!

It's a bit firm, so it was a bit easier to apply. While it doesn't give an immediate sense of hydration, the moisturizing effect is still suitable for use in the summer. After using it for over a week, there hasn't been any dramatic effect. It has an 'old cosmetics' scent... kind of like an old BB cream scent. It will likely divide opinions a lot.
ConsIt doesn't absorb quickly and has a slightly 'sitting on top' feeling. Over time, more oil than moisture comes out, so it's not recommended for oily skin types. The moisturizing effect may be suitable for dry skin types in the summer, but it's not highly recommended overall.
TipThe most satisfying way to use it is to apply it generously, do a 1/2 cotton pad pack, and then gently wipe off afterwards.

When using oil-rich products, I tend to get milia. My acne condition varies, with 1-2 breakouts occurring depending on the situation. The product's name contains the word 'cica,' indicating its excellent soothing effects. When my skin has a lot of troubles, applying this product reduces the heat sensation and cools my skin. I felt the redness significantly subside. The aloe-like texture made me think the moisture would evaporate quickly, but it actually kept my skin hydrated for a long time. For oily/combination skin types, this product alone after using a toner might be sufficient, especially in the summer. The texture is just right - not too thin or heavy, with a bouncy, aloe-like consistency that applies smoothly and evenly without dripping. I personally enjoyed the application experience and kept reaching for the product. As an oily-skinned person, I usually find product absorption to be slow, but this one absorbed surprisingly quickly. I'd recommend this to those looking for a serum-like product with good absorption. Regarding breakouts, I'm happy to report that this product did not cause any new trouble spots to appear on my skin. However, any product used excessively can potentially lead to milia, so caution is advised. Personally, 2-3 pumps were sufficient for me.
ConsThe fragrance was too strong and reminiscent of my father's cologne, which I personally disliked. The scent did not dissipate quickly and lingered subtly, causing a headache. I would not recommend this to those sensitive to fragrances. The initial application felt more moisturizing than oily, but it ended up having an odd oily sheen as it set. The shiny, greasy feeling did not go away over time. I would not recommend this to those looking for a non-oily product.
TipThe sleep pack is very effective when my face has a lot of breakouts. I apply a thin layer all over my face and sleep with it on, and my skin is much calmer the next day. (But don't apply it too thickly, as it can cause milia to appear) I recommend using the sleep pack at night rather than during the day, especially for those with oily or combination skin, as it can feel a bit heavy. Personally, I found that it didn't work well with my makeup.

The design is clean and the colors are lovely. ❤️ The fragrance is nice I thought the fragrance was pleasant when I applied it. As a beauty novice, I'm not sure exactly what the scent is, but it was a nice fragrance to wear. ❤️ Good for applying before makeup I used to find it annoying to have to moisturize in the busy mornings, but this glides on easily and doesn't make my base makeup look patchy. It's great.
Cons🖤 Gel-type I generally prefer more fluid formulas over gel types, so the texture was a bit of a turnoff for me from the start. 🖤 Has a bit of oiliness When used alone, it feels a bit oily over time, so I wouldn't recommend it for summer use.
TipIf you apply a generous amount before bed, it works like a sleeping pack and makes your skin feel quite hydrated the next day!!

When I apply this product, it feels refreshing and calming. I sometimes used it as a sleeping pack, and while the feeling was light, the moisture level felt a bit less than other products. Also, in addition to using it as a sleeping pack, I mixed it into my modeling pack and applied it before the modeling pack, and the calming effect of this product seemed to enhance the effectiveness of the modeling pack!! Fragrance🌱 The fragrance is very typical of a cosmetic product, so there may be some who like or dislike the scent. It's not recommended for those sensitive to fragrance. But I personally liked the scent. Overall Impression🌱 Has a calming effect, using it with a modeling pack doubles the effect, has a slightly sticky texture, the scent may be divisive, feels more oily than moisturizing.
ConsOiliness🌱 Even though it has an aloe gel-like texture, when I applied it, the oiliness came through more than the moisture, which was disappointing. But it still felt more moisturizing compared to other serums. Finish🌱 Since the texture is not a watery, flowing one but more of a thin, aloe gel-like consistency, there was a slight stickiness when applied to the face, which was a bit disappointing.
Tip!! If you add 2-3 pumps of this to your modeling pack, the calming effect will be doubled!! Give it a try everyone!!

I have a butterfly zone with open pores, and as it gets hotter, my pores tend to enlarge, which has been a concern for me. In general, I've found that hyaluronic acid products help replenish moisture and are beneficial for my pores, and this product also makes my pores less noticeable. The moisture it provides helps balance my oil and water levels, so my pores don't expand as much, and the shine is reduced. The moisture lasts beyond the initial application, so I'm satisfied with using this product. □Gentle It's non-irritating for my sensitive combination skin, so I can use it without any concerns. □Texture, Application The texture is similar to aloe vera gel, and it absorbs quickly. I was unsure if the moisture would be maintained after application, but surprisingly, it is sustained. It doesn't feel sticky at all and absorbs immediately, so it seems like a great product to use in the summer.
ConsThere aren't any major downsides, but if I had to point out one, it's that this product is focused on providing hydration, so there is very little oil content. When my skin feels dry, I think it would be better to use this product together with a cream, rather than on its own.

My skin type is close to combination, thin, highly flushed, and has prominent pores. I was given the opportunity to try this product and have been using it diligently morning and night for over a week, and here is my review. 1. Packaging The packaging is a plastic pump-type container with an aqua color. If you look at the bottom, there's a mechanism that rises up as you pump, allowing you to use up the product economically to the very last drop. The pumping action works well, and the cap opens with a simple click, making it convenient to use. 2. Fragrance The fragrance may be divisive. The product has a very mild image, but the fragrance is surprisingly strong and quite potent, not subtle at all. Many people these days don't prefer fragranced cosmetic products. On top of that, the fragrance isn't particularly pleasant either... I was not a fan of the scent. 3. Texture and Usage The texture is like a transparent jelly, not as runny as water but with a slightly thick, firm consistency, more so than aloe gel. After application, there's a somewhat dry, tight finish, almost like using a pore-minimizing serum where the skin feels a bit parched afterwards. 4. Overall Impression During use, I didn't experience any breakouts or irritation at all. However, since it's been a relatively short period of just over a week, I'm not sure about the effectiveness yet. The pump packaging is convenient to use, and the rising bottom mechanism helps you use up the product economically. The matte finish may not suit dry skin types, but it could be a good match for oily complexions. It may be more suitable for summer use than winter. Those sensitive to fragrance should take note of the strong scent.
ConsFor me, it was far too drying... While the texture seemed like it would lack oiliness, I didn't even feel much moisture either. Fortunately, the jelly-like formula didn't have any issues with pilling or rolling off the skin.

ConsEven though I have very dry skin, the weather is still a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings, so it feels a bit tight. It has very little oiliness, so those with dry skin should keep that in mind.
