With winter approaching, hydration is crucial for everyone. Pros: 1) Non-sticky texture: Despite initial concerns about its oily appearance, it absorbs quickly. After 10 minutes, there's no greasy or sticky feeling. Even when touching your face, you won't feel any residual oil. Perfect for those seeking a fresh feel! 2) Noticeable hydration: To test its moisturizing power, I used only this emulsion after cleansing, skipping toner and serum. It maintained hydration throughout the day, even during 9-5 work hours. As a man who often experiences dryness around the mouth after shaving, I noticed no flaky skin or irritation on my chin or philtrum during use.
ConsDrawbacks: 1) Don't expect significant whitening or anti-wrinkle effects: While these claims are common in emulsions, they're often hard to verify. Though 10 days might not be enough to see results, based on my experience with similar products, I doubt you'll notice dramatic improvements in brightening or wrinkle reduction even with prolonged use. 2) Packaging could be improved: The opaque white bottle makes it difficult to check how much product is left. While some might argue that it prevents product degradation, many similar products come in transparent containers. From an environmental perspective, clear packaging might be easier to recycle.
TipHighly recommended for those seeking a hydrating, lightweight emulsion with convenient pump packaging. For best results, apply the emulsion in thin layers rather than all at once. This method ensures even application and helps conserve the product. Remember, a little goes a long way for a smooth, well-moisturized complexion!

It left my skin feeling wonderfully moisturized! Despite its rich formula, it's not too sticky, making it comfortable to use. I also appreciate the generous amount you get in the bottle.
ConsAlthough it claims to help with brightening and wrinkles, I honestly didn't notice much of these effects. Also, while the large size is great for value, it does make the product a bit heavy and not very travel-friendly.
TipThe hydration is so good that you could even use this as a substitute for cream during the summer months!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe emulsion has a texture between thick and runny, and it's fragrance-free! While the panthenol doesn't give a completely saturated hydration feeling, I did notice it helped with deep dryness after application (it might not be enough on its own, but applying it two or three times or using it with a hydrating mist worked well without any tightness!). It was less sticky compared to other products, so it worked great under makeup without pilling! As someone with super dehydrated skin, I always felt tightness after wearing makeup for a while, but after using this product, that feeling definitely decreased. When I only applied sunscreen over it, I noticed a slight glow (on my forehead and cheeks)! Plus, I didn't experience any blemishes!
ConsIt claims to have whitening and anti-wrinkle effects, but I haven't noticed any results so far! I'll update my review if I see any changes with continued use.
TipFor those with dry skin, rather than using it alone, try applying it after a mist or hydrating toner for a noticeable boost in hydration. Apply it two or three times and then warm your face with your hands - it becomes delightfully plump!

I didn't particularly expect much in terms of hydration, but after applying toner and this emulsion, I waited a moment and noticed there was no deep dryness or dehydration. Even if it doesn't have other special features, I'm quite satisfied with its moisturizing properties, so I think I'll use it well.
ConsI haven't seen dramatic effects in terms of brightening or anti-aging, but this is something that requires consistent use to truly evaluate, so it's hard to call it a drawback just yet...!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs someone with combination skin - oily T-zone and dry U-zone - plus concerns about whiteheads, blackheads, and freckles on my cheeks, here's my take: The texture is exactly what you'd expect from an essence. Fragrance-wise, it seemed unscented at first, but there was a very, very faint musty smell when I sniffed my hands after applying. You could easily call it fragrance-free. A small amount is dispensed with each pump. One pump on each cheek and one on the forehead was perfect for even application without waste. It strikes an ideal balance between oil and moisture. Unlike products that focus solely on hydration and leave you feeling dry even after multiple applications, or those that are too oily and make you shiny, this Cosrx product achieves the perfect equilibrium. Just one application provides hydration while creating a thin protective moisture barrier. As for skin barrier health, I've been struggling lately with my skin rejecting makeup. But after using this for just one night, my skin felt healthier than the day before, and my makeup went on smoothly.
ConsThe texture isn't particularly lightweight. Given its moisturizing properties, it doesn't instantly absorb into the skin like a refreshing product would. While it's not sticky, it does create a moisture barrier that might feel a bit rich for morning use. I wouldn't recommend it for skincare before makeup. When I applied makeup after using this, there was no pilling, but because of its oil content, my skin became oily faster than usual. If you have oily skin, I'd advise against using this in your pre-makeup skincare routine. I'm not sure about its brightening effects.
TipI think it works even better when applied over products containing niacinamide, vitamin C, etc., almost like it's sealing in those ingredients.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product comes in a cylindrical container with a pump top, covered by a transparent plastic cap, packaged in a fitting cardboard box, and delivered in a shipping box. 1. Quantity: There's quite a lot of product. Using one pump at a time, it still lasts a while. The volume is similar to a small Isis water bottle. It's not as thick as expected, about 4cm [two finger joints thick], and the height is about 12cm [0.6 hand spans]. 2. Soothing effect: I tested it on various scratches on my body. The areas where I applied the product showed significantly faster reduction in redness compared to untreated areas. While it's hard to tell on the face, it definitely has a soothing effect. 3. Texture: It doesn't run or drip easily. One pump stays in place without sliding. It has a slight glow and looks moisturizing. 4. Application: Initially, it feels moisturizing, but as you spread it, it can feel a bit oily. At first touch, it seems really hydrating, but after the moisture settles, there's a lingering oily feeling that eventually dissipates. 5. Hydration: The oily feeling prevents any sensation of dryness. It's hard to tell if it's actually moisturizing the skin or if the oil is just creating a barrier. 6. Skin barrier improvement: I'm not sure about this. When I say I'm unsure about an effect, it usually means the effect is minimal or non-existent.
Cons1. Scent: The product itself has an oil smell, but it's a 'nice' oil smell. However, when applied [mixed with body odor], it smells like rancid oil (similar to how coins have a distinct smell when they touch the skin). [It has a sharp, irritating scent] 2. Brightening: It claims to have brightening effects, but honestly, I can't really tell. [It's a stretch to buy this as a brightening product] 3. Oiliness: This is really not great. It might be perfect for dry skin, but as someone with oily skin, I don't recommend it. The oily feeling persists and is quite unpleasant. It's okay if you use it after thoroughly cleansing with a foam cleanser, but if you apply it with your hands, you'll feel the oiliness for about 8 minutes.
TipOverall: If you're sensitive to scents, I really don't recommend this. You might feel uncomfortable every time you use it. Also, if you dislike oily textures, it's not for you.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1. Skin texture improvement noticed by skincare professionals The most significant effect I experienced with this product was the improvement in my skin texture. Due to frequent overtime and extra work, my skin had become dull and lifeless. I was getting regular facials, and the esthetician even asked what I had been doing lately because my skin texture had improved so much. 2. Protective layer sensation The product absorbs quickly, leaving a feeling of a protective layer on the skin. This might be a matter of personal preference for those who prefer a matte or fresh finish. Despite the noticeable layer, the hydration was satisfactory. It doesn't feel heavy or leave a sticky residue. It's a light and moisturizing sensation with a layer that seems to lock in hydration for longer. 3. Easy to use The pump dispenser makes it easy to use, and the narrow opening allows for precise control of the amount dispensed.
Cons1. Brightening and soothing effects These two main claims are not particularly noticeable or outstanding. 2. Fragrance The scent is hard to describe, but it has a somewhat plastic-like smell. 3. Design The plastic bottle itself looks rather cheap, which detracts from the overall appearance. Other design elements are clean and simple.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis product is said to contain a high concentration of panthenol, which is effective in protecting the skin barrier. It also includes Kakadu plum extract. It's great for combination dehydrated skin as it's neither too dry nor too heavy - just right. It's also said to have brightening and anti-wrinkle effects. The panthenol ingredient is excellent for strengthening the skin barrier that's been compromised during seasonal changes. The fragrance-free formula makes it suitable for those sensitive to scents. After application, it absorbs well, allowing makeup to be applied immediately without pilling. It feels like it effectively combats deep dryness, leaving the skin hydrated. Thanks to its deeply nourishing hydration, makeup adheres well. For combination dehydrated skin, excessive moisture can sometimes lead to blemishes or oiliness, but this maintains just the right level of hydration without those issues. I'd recommend this if you're looking for a formula with a fresh finish.
ConsWhile I can't speak to the brightening effects yet, there aren't really any significant downsides to mention.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1. Hydration First off, this product is incredibly moisturizing. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I feel like I could use this alone in winter. It might feel a bit heavy for summer, but the hydration is seriously amazing. Even when used alone in the current weather, there's absolutely no deep dryness - it's fantastic! 2. Texture The emulsion-type formula is neither too runny nor too heavy, with almost no stickiness, which is great. It doesn't slide off at all and isn't slippery, so I'm using it without any concerns. Personally, I love this type of texture. 3. Skin Texture Unlike my previous cream, after using this, I can feel my skin becoming smoother the next day. Even without using toner, toner packs, or other products, just this emulsion alone makes my skin noticeably softer.
Cons1. Whitening and Anti-wrinkle Effects Although it's marketed as a functional cosmetic with whitening and anti-wrinkle benefits, I honestly can't tell much difference. It might be due to the short period of use, but it doesn't seem to have any dramatically noticeable effects in these areas.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture is somewhere between a cream and an emulsion - lighter than a typical cream but with more hydration than a typical emulsion. As someone with very oily skin, I found that applying a generous layer at night kept my skin comfortably moisturized until the next morning without feeling heavy. I also appreciate that it's nearly fragrance-free. The pump dispenser is a nice hygienic touch.
ConsWhile I haven't used it for an extended period, I didn't experience any blemishes and the hydration level was satisfactory. I don't have many complaints. However, I didn't notice any significant improvements in wrinkles or brightening effects in the short term.
