Are you looking for an ampoule to hydrate your sensitive and dry skin? Then this is the one I highly recommend. Applying it immediately makes your skin feel deeply moisturized.
ConsSince it is oil-free, applying a moisturizing cream is essential in addition to the hydration. But this alone is sufficient as it is a hydrating product.
TipI heard somewhere that dermatologists consider hydration to be the most important thing. They say it's good to create a protective layer with an oil-based cream after hydrating. This product is perfect for hydration and I strongly recommend it.

There are already many great serums from the numerous brands registered on Hwahae, so I was wondering if an even better serum could be developed. However, I felt that this serum must have gone through a very thorough process in terms of ingredients, formulation, and user experience. As a person with dry skin, I cannot skip the serum step, and I prefer to use basic products that focus solely on hydration rather than functional cosmetics. So, I was particularly looking forward to trying this serum. Based on my direct experience using the product, here are my honest thoughts: ❤️ Non-sticky texture I prefer a watery, lightweight, and non-sticky texture over a thick, viscous one. This product applies smoothly without any stickiness, and the finish is refreshing. It absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving no oiliness behind, which is perfect for my dry skin type! ❤️ Gentle and non-irritating Since I have a very sensitive skin type, even a single ingredient mismatch can cause redness, itchiness, and other issues. I'm always cautious when testing new basic products. Fortunately, this serum was used without any irritation, redness, or discomfort. The fact that I found a gentle serum that doesn't irritate my skin is already a huge satisfaction. The product description also mentioned that it has passed the skin irritation test, which is reassuring. ❤️ Non-greasy even with multiple layers I enjoy layering serums, so the formulation is important. This product has a lightweight, refreshing texture and is packed with hydration, so it doesn't feel heavy or greasy even when applied multiple times. Instead, it helps strengthen the moisture barrier. ❤️ Good hydration The serum contains various hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, allantoin, and panthenol. As someone whose skin responds well to hyaluronic acid, I was pleased to experience the great hydration it provided. The formula is not just a quick-drying, surface-level hydration, but it maintains a balanced moisture level, especially when followed by a slightly occlusive cream. The hydration level was just right, not too much or too little - it was perfect! :)
ConsThis serum is highly recommended for combination and oily skin types, but I would not recommend it for dry skin. It is very lightweight and lacks oil, being filled with moisture, so I think it may be too light even as a first step for dry skin.

I always felt dryness after completing my skincare routine, but the dryness disappeared after using this product. The formula is also on the thinner side, which I find more satisfactory.
ConsIt does finish quite refreshingly, so it may not be suitable for those who are looking for more intense hydration or oiliness. I think this product is more suitable for spring and summer rather than winter.

The formula is very thin and light, so it spreads easily on the face. It has a watery, slightly oily feel when applied, but doesn't leave an oily residue. This is a great product for oily skin to use in the summer!
ConsI usually take breaks when doing my skincare routine. I cleanse, apply serum/essence, wait for absorption, then apply lotion, and after some time, apply cream. This serum definitely doesn't provide enough hydration. It feels tight and dry quickly, probably because there's no oil. Dry skin would absolutely not be able to use this in the winter.
TipApplying it twice is much better:)

This serum is great for light application! Some may find the runny texture unpleasant, but I personally prefer the easy absorption of a thinner serum. The formula also appealed to me. I couldn't really detect any fragrance, and after applying 2-3 layers and letting it absorb, my skin felt less dry. The transparent packaging makes it easy to check the remaining amount, and it was overall pleasant to use.
ConsThere wasn't really anything disappointing, but for those with very dry skin, this product may not provide enough oil/moisture, so it would be good to follow up with a cream or lotion to supplement that.
TipAfter using the Hwahae toner to cleanse and tone, layering this serum a few times will give you a great base for makeup!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe first impression when applied was that it felt incredibly simple and pure. Just as described in the introduction, it is a serum that is refreshing and moisturizing. During the summer, it can be used well by those with oily, dry, or any skin type. It is an essential serum made up of only the necessary ingredients, without fragrance or coloring.
ConsAs it is not a functional serum, but composed of simple ingredients, it is suitable for replenishing moisture in the skin during the summer. While it provides abundant moisture, there is no oily feeling. However, it may be lacking for dry-skinned individuals during the transitional seasons or winter.
TipIn the increasingly warm weather these days, if you put it in the refrigerator and then apply it to the skin like a moisture pack, 100% soothing and moisture charging is possible. It also feels so good*><*

Gentle is the biggest advantage Since it's made by Hwahae, I trust the ingredients. There's no noticeable fragrance when using the toner or cream. It's completely unscented. I think sensitive skin types will especially enjoy this. 2. Lightweight formula As someone with combination skin and visible pores, I prefer products with more hydration than oil. This one fits the bill. That's not to say there's no oil at all - I'll get to that later. But the watery texture absorbs well as long as you don't overapply. 3. Seems to balance oil and moisture well I can feel both the oil and water components. It's not completely oil-free, but dry skin types could use this on its own or incorporate it into their skincare routine. 4. Applies well before makeup In the summer, with oily skin, I go Skin > Serum > Sunscreen, patting it in. It leaves a really supple finish, likely because it's addressing both the oil and hydration needs.
ConsThe oil content felt a bit too much for me... I can manage the oil-moisture balance, but if I use too much, I worry it might clog my pores and cause bumps. It spreads nicely, but there's a slightly tacky feel.
TipOily skin types, when using this for makeup, be sure to go straight from serum to sunscreen, skipping the cream or lotion. Otherwise, it can get shiny, especially in the summer.

I will write the review based on my experience of using the product daily, morning and evening, for a week. 🧚♀️ About Myself 🧚♀️ □ Age Range: Late 20s □ Skin Type: Combination, sensitive, and prone to breakouts (oily T-zone, dry U-zone) □ My skin easily gets irritated when using the wrong skincare products □ When my skin gets dry, it becomes red in patches, and severe dryness can lead to oozing □ However, if I apply thick layers of basic skincare products or use overly oily products, it can cause excess sebum and acne □ I've visited dermatologists often, but managing my skin through diet, proper cleansing, and basic skincare has been more effective than going to the dermatologist □ My skin type may seem high-maintenance, but I'm able to manage it well with appropriate home care 🧚♀️ Review of the Hwahae Daily Serum 🧚♀️ ■ Texture: The texture is between water and mucus. When applied to the back of the hand, it flows slowly. (See photo) ■ Fragrance: Fragrance-free ■ Color: Transparent ■ Ingredients: It contains many beneficial ingredients for hydration, soothing, and sebum control, such as centella extract, ginseng fruit extract, allantoin, panthenol, and ceramides. ■ Usage Experience: The serum absorbs quickly into the skin without any stickiness. When applied, it gives a hydrating sensation, and the more layers applied, the more moisturizing it feels. - When applying the serum once, it provides a hydrating sensation, but if a moisturizer is not applied afterward, the whole face feels dry. - Layering it 2 times provides a much more moisturized feeling, but a moisturizer is still needed to prevent dryness. - Layering it 3 times or more makes it feel thick and sticky, and the absorption is not as effective. ■ Soothing Effect: After lightly toning the skin, the daily serum itself has a mild soothing effect. If there are any blemishes, skipping the toner and applying aloe gel to the serum can provide more soothing. Mixing the serum with aloe gel provides better soothing for my skin. ■ Irritation: The product's ingredients are very gentle, so there was no stinging or irritation at all. ■ Breakouts: Due to the gentle formulation, I did not experience any breakouts.
ConsThe downside is that the moisture and oil balance is a bit off, I suppose. Since it is a moisture essence, the imbalance is something that needs to be taken into account to a certain degree. And as mentioned earlier, applying it once leaves it a bit dry, but applying it three times makes it sticky, which is a bit disappointing. However, it's gentle, the ingredients are good, so I do have the intention to purchase it with my own money in the future.🧚♀️
TipWhen my skin is dry, I only apply the daily serum during the serum step. When I have skin troubles or feel like I'm about to have troubles, I mix the daily serum and aloe gel in a 1:1 ratio and apply it, and the troubles quickly calm down! If I just apply the aloe gel, it lacks moisture and feels dry, but when I mix and apply it, it feels like I'm applying the moisturizing aloe gel.
