The product seems to be effective for treating blemishes and calming the skin, but it may cause some discomfort or tingling sensation, especially on sensitive or irritated skin. It's important to use caution when applying it to broken or freshly treated skin.

If you apply this right after popping a pimple, you'll experience legendary pain... It's not extremely painful, but it stings like you've had a lidocaine shot. The pain isn't all over, just in certain areas.

I received a sample and used it for just three days, and my blemishes disappeared! So I bought the full-size product. With continued use, while it might not work in just three days, it really does calm my skin effectively. I have sensitive skin, so it tingles a bit, but the results are so good that I hope everyone gives it a try.

에빠끌라 듀오+M 에센스

The price is quite steep. It's definitely a product you should aim to buy during a sale.

The application is pretty smooth, and it seems to absorb quickly. After using this, my blemishes have improved a lot!

올리브영 세일 또는 라로슈포제 세일/쿠폰 기간을 노려 왕창구매해둡니다 ㅋㅋ 화장품 냉장고에 넣어놓고쓰면 쿨링감도 있어서 화장전에 얼굴에 열감 내리기도 좋아요

작은용량과 사악한(?)가격이 단점인데 요새 왠만한 세럼이나 에센스도 괜찮다 싶은건 2-3만원대라 단점이라 하기도 그렇네요 ㅎㅎ

트러블 자주있는 화장품 유목민이라 한번 잘 맞는 제품 찾으면 몇년 주구장창 쓰거든요! 트러블+복합성 피부에 리치한 제품은 또 화장할때 밀리고 난리인데, 이건 가벼우면서 트러블없고 메이트업때도 안밀리고 에센스지만 맑고 가벼운 크림 느낌이라 데일리로 베이스로 씁니다. 정말 입에 침이 마르도록 칭찬해도 아깝지 않은 제품!

무거운거 싫고! 트러블 자주나고! 여름에 땀 폭발하시는 분들 강추!!!

For those with sensitive or dry skin, it's advisable to start with a small amount and gradually increase if needed. You may want to avoid applying it too close to the eye area to prevent irritation. Despite its quick absorption, which is generally a positive feature, be mindful of how your skin responds over time.

You need to be careful with the amount you use. Unfortunately, it can cause some eye irritation.

The product absorbs quickly, which is great, but if you have dry skin, you might feel the need to apply more. At first, you might not notice, but as time passes, you may experience increasing eye irritation. Keep this in mind as it can be a bit uncomfortable.

As someone with super sensitive skin, I struggled with blemishes for a while. But since discovering this product, my skin has improved significantly, and I'm still using it to this day! It's become my absolute favorite cosmetic item - I feel uneasy without it. That's why I highly recommend it!

As you can see in the photo, even spots that were just faint marks before turned red... It's so upsetting that this happened even though I didn't feel any tingling when applying it. What a letdown!

Hmm... I'm not really sure what to say...

It's always a good idea to patch test new skincare products, especially if you have super sensitive skin. The tingling sensation some users experienced could be a sign of irritation, which might not suit everyone's skin type. For those with combination dehydrated skin or concerns about blemishes, it's particularly important to find products that balance effectiveness with gentleness. Remember, what works for one person's complexion may not work for another, so listening to your skin is key in developing your personal skincare routine.

Stinging and irritating to the skin.
I recommend trying a sample before purchasing the full-size product.

I tried out the sample kit after requesting it, but...
Well... it didn't have any effect and it stung my skin. I thought I was the only one experiencing the tingling sensation, but after reading other reviews, I see that others felt it too.
For me, when a product stings, I worry it might be too harsh and could potentially cause more blemishes, so I stopped using it.
I won't be repurchasing this product.

I recommend using only a tiny amount unless it's a real skin emergency.
The irritation is quite intense and lasts for a while.

However, it's extremely harsh on the skin. It can make your face feel like it's on fire!

When you want to calm irritated skin or get rid of blemishes, this is your go-to product!
I loved that it showed results within a day, making it perfect for those urgent skin emergencies.

It is not recommended.
If applied, it would be thinly applied only to areas with thicker skin, such as the forehead.

My skin feels too irritated.
It's a typical strong acid-induced irritation.
Since the product contains a mix of LHA, AHA, and BHA, the irritation is quite severe, so I immediately washed my face.
The sensation is more akin to LHA and AHA than BHA.

Even after washing my face with a foam cleanser and applying a soothing cream within 5 minutes, the irritation persists.

The usage experience is good.
The essence has the characteristic texture of niacinamide.
It absorbs quickly and
the finish has the silky feel typical of silicone.

If your skin is thin and sensitive, be sure to start with a spot essence only on the necessary areas. If it's okay, we recommend full application. Otherwise, you may experience a burning sensation on your skin.

I asked ChatGPT about the reason and principle behind the stinging sensation, and was surprised by the stinging while using it. For those of you reading the reviews, please refer to the photos.

I was surprised when I first used it... I rarely experience any stinging when using cosmetics, but this time it felt prickly all over. After about 10 minutes, it became fine. At first, I thought my upper lip was on fire. After searching, I found that it likely contains exfoliating ingredients, and since I have a lot of hair and thin skin on my upper lip, that's why I felt it more.

The product applies smoothly and evenly, absorbing well without any noticeable waiting period. The ingredients seem quite good - it contains salicylic acid (of course, limited to those with suitable skin types) and niacinamide. The calming effect was reasonably good even upon waking up in the morning. However, they say the true benefits will become apparent after 2-3 weeks of continued use, so I will use it further and provide an additional review later.

The Hwahae Testers recommend applying the product only to the areas with red marks, such as the forehead and chin, as it can be used without any discomfort.

The areas with thin skin (such as the philtrum and eyelids) become reddened and overly irritated when applied. Additionally, it is not recommended to apply it before makeup, as it tends to peel off like a scab.

It has a smooth application and is absorbed incredibly quickly! It seems to be effective in soothing blemishes!

It tends to pill or clump when used before makeup. It's a bit drying when used alone, so it's better to pair it with other hydrating skincare products.

It's great for those tiny bumps! Definitely feels like it helps calm down blemishes.
