The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions.

The scent is close to unscented, allowing it to be applied without any aversion, but it has a slight ointment-like fragrance. However, I found this scent to be quite pleasing. It has good absorbency, leaving a moisturized feel on the face without an oily sensation, and the hydrating properties help combat dryness, so I recommend this product for those with dry skin, even in the winter. I have dry skin, but I've been using this product well even in the winter.
ConsThe price is a bit high, but I'm using it very well despite being sensitive, so there are no downsides.

Since I'm mostly under the air conditioner anyway, using something like a soothing cream was too drying, but this is just the right amount.
ConsYou may feel the fragrance is a bit unpleasant, but I liked that it doesn't have any added fragrances.

When I had contact dermatitis, other products were irritating and stinging, but this one was comfortable without any irritation..so I'm going to keep using it consistently. It's labeled as a body cream, but I've been applying it to my face.
ConsThey always have a sale after an incident happens ㅜ I tried it as a barrier cream for a few days, but I'm not sure about it. There's no soothing effect and no improvement. But at least it didn't make things worse.
TipApplying it in small amounts is important.

Applying it regularly helped replenish the moisture and had a soothing effect. [Hydrating Power💭] Given my dry skin and the changing seasons, I had to layer this product a couple of times to get sufficient hydration. However, for oily skin types, a single application should provide enough moisture, and it may only require a light layer during the summer. [Absorption✨] This product absorbs quickly, allowing me to use it lightly even before applying makeup. [Gentle Ingredients] As someone who is cautious about product ingredients due to my acne-prone skin, I was pleased to find that this formula is gentle and works well for my skin.
ConsThe fragrance might be a bit divisive for some. While it's unscented, it has a somewhat medicinal/pharmacy-like smell.

It's not too rich and not too watery, just the right medium consistency that doesn't drip or run. *Fragrance The fragrance isn't particularly great, it has a slightly chemical-like scent. But it's not overpowering or unpleasant at all. I actually think it's better than adding a lot of fragrance ingredients just to make it smell nice. *Usage It absorbs well and doesn't leave a sticky feeling. It really does feel like a 'focus cream' as the name suggests! It seems to balance the oil and moisture levels well. As a combination skin type, I used to have a lot of oiliness in my T-zone in the mornings, but after using this cream, the oiliness is reduced and my skin feels more hydrated overall. Since it provides triple care - no irritation, barrier protection, and deep hydration - it's a great product! I was worried about trying new products because my skin is sensitive and tends to break out, but this didn't cause any troubles or irritation at all.
ConsI can't really think of any major downsides. I didn't experience any breakouts or irritation.
TipI have dry skin and chicken skin (keratosis pilaris) on my arms and legs. I applied it to the dry areas after showering, and it was great - no irritation at all.

As someone with slightly dry skin, I was concerned that a highly moisturizing product would be too heavy for this transitional weather, but thanks to the Hwahae Trial Reviewers, I've been able to comfortably manage my skin. The product description says it absorbs quickly, but it actually stays on my skin like aloe gel or hyaluronic acid. This has helped with lowering skin temperature and soothing. - Great pairing with Retinol When I used Retinol, I noticed significantly more dryness the next morning (likely due to the increased absorption). But when I mixed the Curve B-Balance Cream and Oil, there was no dryness at all the next day. My skin also calmed down faster and maintained a good oil-water balance.
Cons- The narrow opening makes it easy to control the amount, but the opaque packaging makes it difficult to see the remaining product. - Tackiness As mentioned earlier, the tackiness lingers for a while. The more product you use, the more noticeable it is. However, if you mix it with a more powdery cream, your skin won't feel dry at all, even in a dry indoor environment!
TipI would recommend trying it mixed with other creams or using it as a cream mask. It's excellent for replenishing moisture and soothing the skin!

As someone with very dry skin, especially in the spring, I was extremely satisfied. It absorbs completely without leaving a greasy residue, filling my pores with moisture until my skin feels plump and hydrated. I'm very pleased with this product!
ConsThere really isn't anything I'm dissatisfied with - every aspect of this product has met my expectations.
TipOf all the moisturizers I've tried, this is one I would highly recommend, even with its higher price point. As a serial moisturizer user, I think this may be my new holy grail - it suits my skin type perfectly!

The lotion-like texture made it apply smoothly and felt more moisturizing, which I really liked. Fragrance 5/4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's not fragrance-free, but has a similar scent to Vaseline. The scent may be divisive for some. Moisturizing 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The moderate moisture and lightweight feel were just perfect. It's not oily or slippery at all, which I really liked. Finish 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After application, it felt so moisturizing and refreshing. The refreshing finish makes it suitable to use as a hand cream as well.
ConsDownside💧 It's quite oily and not recommended for those with very oily skin. It's not particularly useful for oily skin types.
TipPro Tip🔥 It works better if you apply it only to the dry areas of the face, rather than the entire face.

But this cream has gentle ingredients and helps restore the skin barrier, so I was able to use it without any issues. ✅️ Texture - The formula is very moisturizing and creamy, spreading smoothly and absorbing quickly. I would apply it while my hair was drying, and my skin would stay dewy and supple without any heaviness. ✅️ Fragrance - I'm quite sensitive to scents, but this cream has almost no fragrance, which was perfect for me. ✅️ The other product I used before was too rich, so it felt a bit heavy in the morning before makeup. But this one is just right - it's wonderful to use before my morning skincare routine. The tube has a pointed tip, so it's easy to control the amount, and the soft tube is gentle on the hands. This is the only product I've used that didn't sting when applied to blemishes. As a skin barrier repairing cream, my skin definitely calms down after using it, and any brewing breakouts seem to quiet down. The moisturizing formula also makes my skin texture look more refined.
ConsIt's not a major issue, but there is a slight oiliness after absorption. Gently blotting with a sponge during makeup application helps balance it out.
TipThis is a great item to use as a first moisturizing step after toning. The slight oiliness also makes it pair well with makeup tools. Applying this as the first moisturizer and then using a sleeping pack on top can result in a gorgeous, glowing complexion.

Compared to that cream, let me tell you~ While the texture of that cream is very thick and sticky, this cream is much more watery and moisturizing, making it easy to apply. And the scent is almost odorless, but it has a faint scent of that Panthenol ingredient, kind of like the typical zinc cream scent found in pharmacy cosmetics. I liked that it's not irritating! Since it's a soothing cream, it's better not to add unnecessary fragrance, right..? Haha If the Panthenol cream feels thick and leaves a refreshing finish after application, this Kerb cream applies smoothly and softly, but the finish requires a bit of time to be absorbed, leaving a moderate oily-watery sensation. Lately, with the change of seasons, I've had a slightly stinging feeling around my nose and mouth area right after cleansing and applying basic skincare products. Fortunately, I didn't feel any stinging with this cream, which was great.^^ It applies softly, and the finish isn't too lightweight, so it doesn't disappear quickly, making it seem like it has good moisturizing properties!
ConsWhile the moisturizing effect is good, the slightly oily finish may be suitable for dry skin types like myself, but for oily skin types, the slightly greasy or coated feeling on the skin surface could feel a bit heavy, so there may be some mixed opinions on this cream among those with oily skin. :)
TipDuring seasonal changes or on irritated areas, I apply this cream thinly and then gently pat it in to allow it to be fully absorbed and soothe the skin! It's great to use not just on the face, but anywhere on the body that feels dry and itchy!😊🥰
