It applies moistly and lightly. The moisture is quickly absorbed into the skin, and there is a slight oiliness that is soon absorbed. The product doesn't feel overly oily. Rather, the thin layer of oil helps prevent the moisture from evaporating. It's suitable for oily skin types without being burdensome. The cooling effect is not particularly pronounced. There is a cooling sensation, but those less sensitive may not notice it. (Personally, I found the mild cooling to be preferable.) In terms of soothing effects, as shown in the photo, sudden blemishes on the chin area subsided and redness faded quickly with use of this product. No new blemishes or other skin issues arose during use. This product is recommended for normal to combination skin types. For dry or dehydrated skin, it can be used in layers for better results.
ConsI was worried that there were ingredients that clog pores, but the amount is small, so it seems they were added to prevent moisture from evaporating rather than to clog pores.

My sensitive skin has no issues with it, and it fits perfectly without any breakouts! The subtle scent of centella is lovely! I recommend this product to those who prefer moisturizers with minimal oil content! I absolutely love using the Goodal Citron products. I was selected to try them and I'm so satisfied. I've even stopped using my previous moisturizer and only use this one...haha I also received a refill, so I don't need to try any other creams for a while and can just keep repurchasing and using this one!!
Cons... there were no troubles, and there was no visible pores, and it was too good...ㅠㅠ If I had to pick one, the only downside would be that the packaging is made of glass, so if I drop it, there is a risk of it breaking, which is a shame.ㅠㅠ
TipThe product has a light yet suitable texture, allowing for layering, so I often apply it generously as an overnight mask instead of a sleeping pack before bed!!

Overall evaluation: I was quite satisfied with the usage and did not experience any major inconvenience. The texture is not sticky and spreads well, leaving the skin feeling very moisturized. The oil content is not excessive, but it does not feel overly dry either - just the right balance. On the days I used this cream, I noticed my skin tone looked brighter and the texture appeared smoother when I looked in the mirror in the morning!
ConsOn days when you apply too much, one blemish tends to appear due to clogged pores.. I am quite sensitive, and I suspect it may be because of the stearic acid.

(Here, sensitive skin refers to skin that is easily irritated by internal and external stimuli.) - The pores are very, very large and the skin is easily clogged, so natural oils and natural ingredients tend to irritate the skin or clog the pores easily. - As I approach my 30s, I have been consistently using firming products. Since the pores are large, I am more interested in them, so it would be a better review for those with large pores. 👍 Non-sticky finish There is a slight cooling sensation, so it seems good to apply when the skin temperature rises due to the heater. And since it's a lightweight gel formula, I'm satisfied that I can do skincare with a lightweight, non-sticky finish. 👍 Not strongly scented I'm a bit sensitive to scents, but I'm glad it's not strong. 👍 Good value package The full-size product + refill is a generous amount to buy.
ConsI would like to note that this is an extremely subjective opinion!! 👎The pores are clogged... It's not surprising that my skin easily clogs up, but it's just too clogged... it's really difficult.. The first photo is before using [the product] The second photo is on the last day of the trial period 👎Dryness It may be due to the season, but it's quite dry to apply right now! After applying, it's immediately absorbed and I have to apply the next cream as well (I usually apply a moisturizing cream and then a hydrating cream) But in this case... the absorption is so quick that I feel the moisture is not high enough and it just evaporates..
TipHwahae is recommended for normal to dry skin types (moisturizing cream is essential for dry skin). It is more recommended to use in the morning rather than the evening (does not interfere with 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.ProsHere is a review of the product I received from the Hwahae Trial Reviewers and used for about a week! The product is called the Hyaluronic Soothing Cream, and when I saw the name, I initially thought it would be a light and refreshing cream from a certain brand's hyaluronic acid soothing cream. However, with the inclusion of ceramides and eucalyptus oil, the finish is actually more dense and creamy than I expected. As an oily-skinned person, I found this product to work well as a lotion+cream step after my toner and ampoule routine. I've also used it as a final step after exfoliating and doing a cream mask, and the balanced amount of oil it provides seemed just right.
ConsThe fact that the container is a pot type and there is no separate spatula was a bit disappointing! But now it seems to have been renewed as a tube 👍 I was a bit worried about clogged pores due to the stearic acid ingredient, but I didn't have any trouble at all.
TipIt's great to put it in the refrigerator and use it cool to help relieve skin heat! I'm using it mixed with vitamin C powder.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSkin condition: *Sensitive redness (thin skin) *Combination (T-zone oil explosion, U-zone dryness) *Acne-prone *Very large pores *Seems to not suit slightly acidic products well. *Overly oily and highly moisturizing products don't suit. *Can't tolerate highly functional products. Instead, slightly processed products are better tolerated. *If it doesn't suit, the product applied in the morning can cause pimple explosion in the evening due to sensitivity. *Even products that used to suit can sometimes cause issues depending on skin condition. -Ingredients: Overall good, but there may be pore-clogging ingredients if used excessively. This seems to depend on the individual's tolerance level of the ingredient amount. -Texture: A slightly thinner texture than a moisturizing pudding when applied. Doesn't drip, so easy to apply. Light texture, doesn't fall off the hands. -Spreadability: Spreads easily, unlike heavy nourishing creams. The spreadability suits the description of a water cream. -Usage: Hmm... Moisturizing when applied, but becomes a watery texture after application. Slightly drying, so it's better to apply thickly. -Design: The color and design are very pretty. As someone who thinks that cosmetics being appealing and easy to reach for is important, this aspect is very satisfactory. -Fragrance: Almost none. Likely no strong preferences.
Cons1) It tends to be dry. It should be used with the intention of forming a film to prevent moisture evaporation after applying ampoules, essences, or packs and sufficiently supplying basic moisture, rather than playing a role in supplying moisture. 2) The content of pore-clogging ingredients seems to have been high for me. There is no problem with the occurrence of inflammatory acne-like issues due to complete incompatibility of ingredients. However, milia are formed. Even after getting enough sleep, I also have a lot of milia on my forehead. Strangely, there is excessive keratinization in the U-zone (lower cheeks and middle part of the cheeks). It seems that the watery formula is not compatible with my oiliness and is being pushed out. Or it may be that it has become dry and formed keratinization...I'm not sure, but one thing is certain, in this situation, makeup is not possible on top of it.
TipApply the ampoule and essence generously and use them to prevent moisture evaporation. Not recommended before morning makeup.

Applying a generous amount and leaving it on overnight helps maintain moisture until the next day. Products with more hydrating properties than oily ones are better suited for combination skin types.
ConsI bought it because they said it's good for pores, but I'm not sure if it actually improves pores. The cooling sensation is also ambiguous.

It seems to calm the skin's heat sensation and soothe the enlarged pores caused by the heat. It has an aloe-like feel. But it's not just a moisturizing soothing cream, it's a gel-cream that slightly covers the skin, so it seems good not only for summer but also for spring and fall. It can also be used as a sleeping pack by applying generously before bed.
ConsNo stick tools; spatula Contains stearic acid (pore-clogging) 😥
TipMy skin type Seborrheic dermatitis (dry and sensitive), redness on the cheeks There is a lot of oil around the nose area, resulting in many blackheads I have experienced seborrheic dermatitis on the cheeks before, so I need to manage dryness & sensitivity Moisture and oil balance management is necessary ✔️ How to use: Use a minimal basic routine, just toner/serum as a base Use only the "Houttuynia Cordata Hyaluronic Acid Soothing Cream" 🔹️ Texture: Jelly-like, translucent gel type 🔹️ Ingredients: 20 sensitive ingredients excluded, no allergens There is one ingredient, stearic acid, that can potentially clog pores, but there are many more beneficial ingredients for hydration and skin regeneration, so it is still a good product! 🔹️ Fragrance: Subtle lily scent, almost fragrance-free 🔹️ Application/Absorption: Applies smoothly without a greasy feel, absorbs well 🔹️ After application: Feels about 70% moisturizing and 30% oily (hydrating film) 🔹️ Price/Value: Lowest online price around 18,000 won Around 20,000 won with Hwahae coupons and points There was a 75ml 1+1 promotion at Olive Young before, so it's a good deal during sales

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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 skin type is oily and acne-prone, with frequent breakouts 1-2 times a month. The T-zone is very oily (high sebum), while the other areas are dry combination after cleansing. In the winter, the skin easily becomes dry and rough. The product is used right after morning and evening cleansing. The formula and finish are just right for this time of year. Typical winter creams are either too heavy and oily or too quickly absorbed, causing tightness. But this product has a nice medium weight, without any excess oil or residue, providing a clean finish. It maintains a supple feel even when applied at night, which is a key factor for repurchasing. There is a subtle herbal scent, possibly from the centella, that is soothing and mood-boosting. The inclusion of panthenol is beneficial for skin texture improvement, though the full effects have not yet been seen, the face overall feels smoother.
ConsThe cream is packaged in a tub, so opening and closing the lid frequently exposes it to dust. And since a spatula is not provided, having to scoop the cream with your hands could raise hygiene concerns. ' While it's been fine so far, the product contains ingredients that clog pores. Since I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, continued use may lead to issues, and I may have to stop using it.

The cream spreads smoothly and absorbs quickly, with minimal stickiness. I appreciated how it quickly relieved the tightness typical of dry skin. It contains natural ingredients like houttuynia cordata and also includes hyaluronic acid, both of which work well for me. 2. After cleansing, when I applied it to my reddened, irritated skin, I felt my skin calming down. I particularly noticed a soothing effect on the rough areas caused by dryness. It forms a moisturizing layer that keeps skin hydrated for a long time, making it great for use during dry seasons. While it's a soothing cream, it also provides good moisture. 3. It gives adequate moisture without making the skin feel oily or stuffy, so it's a great lightweight cream to use during the day. Though it's a cream formula, it's not heavy and absorbs refreshingly, allowing those with oily or combination skin to use it comfortably. 4. I received this as a new product, so it was freshly manufactured. The expiration date is long, and I'm very pleased that it's a new release!
ConsFor very dry skin, using this product alone may cause the moisturizing effect to fade quickly, so I recommend using an additional moisturizer along with it. The formula is lightweight, but it has quite good moisturizing power compared to other soothing products, which is why it contains some ingredients that can clog pores. Oily skin types should check the ingredient list and see if there are any components that don't agree with them. In my case, it felt moisturizing at first, but over time, the dry areas started to feel a bit lacking in hydration. Especially in the dry winter environment, you may need an additional oil or moisturizing cream. I hope this tip is helpful!
TipAfter cleansing, first use a hyaluronic acid toner or essence to thoroughly moisturize the skin, then apply a cream. This will improve absorption and hydration. For dry or heavily flaky areas, apply a small amount on top. This will significantly reduce dryness. Try using oils and mixing them! For extremely dry areas or during the winter season, mixing in 1-2 drops of facial oil will greatly improve the lasting hydration. Extremely dry skin types should definitely try this. Applying a thick layer of cream before bed and using it as a sleeping pack will leave you with soft, moisturized skin in the morning. This makes the soothing cream usable year-round. I highly recommend this method. In the morning, your skin will feel so soft and supple, making makeup application easy and leaving you feeling hydrated all day!
