I always get pimples whenever I apply base products, as I have a very sensitive and delicate skin like a puffer fish ๐ญ The Hwahae cushion is a product I'm extremely satisfied with, to the point that I repurchased it even after using the refill. โ The skin feels comfortable Whenever I apply cushions or foundations, my skin usually feels stuffy and itchy, but this cushion doesn't cause any of that discomfort. โ Good adherence Even after the oil comes up over time after applying the cushion, the makeup doesn't easily break down and stays well on the skin. โ The color is beautiful The color doesn't have an overly yellow tone and looks pretty! It's also brighter than the usual #23, allowing for a more radiant skin expression. โ Little darkening I've always felt other cushions tend to darken, but this one doesn't seem to darken much.
Cons
The coverage is really weak. It doesn't seem to cover pores or blemish scars at all, to the point where I wonder if they're even covered. The cushion puff is disappointing. I'm not sure if this formula works well with it... I use a different cushion puff.
Tip
When excess sebum rises, powder application can restore a beautiful skin appearance!!

The coverage was better than expected. And since it contains cicatrizant ingredients, I can apply it with peace of mind.
Cons
This varies depending on how you do the basics, but I felt a bit dry and had some clogged pores. It seems a bit matte?

At first application, it gives a subtle glow and makes the skin expression beautiful!
Cons
I noticed that there was darkening from more than 8 hours of use. That was disappointing.
Tip
I recommend applying it thinly two to three times. That way, it will be expressed more beautifully.

My skin is almost extremely dry, and I am concerned about acne, milia, and acne scars. My skin type is one that struggles with acne, milia, and scars, so while the coverage is good, I was looking for a cushion that contains good ingredients for acne and milia, and I ended up purchasing the Hwahae cushion after seeing its advertisement. First, to talk about the coverage, to achieve the perfect coverage shown in the advertisement, you would need to apply a large amount to a small area, but for general coverage of acne, milia, and scars, it is certainly better than other cushions. The redness from acne is mostly covered, and the scars and blemishes are lightened to some degree. Overall, a thick coverage is not necessary, and just a layer or two on the problem areas can provide perfect coverage without the need for a concealer. The adhesion is a bit lacking, so powder application is essential. The glow and skin expression are as pretty as shown in the advertisement if that is what you were expecting. The glow is really beautiful, almost as if your actual skin is glowing, and the skin expression is nicely maintained. However, since there is some cakiness, powder is necessary. If you want to preserve the glow, you can lightly dust some powder on the cushion with a brush. This cushion doesn't really darken, but rather blends into the skin naturally, so it appears brighter than my usual 21 or 22 shade. Based on reviews, I purchased the 23 shade, and while it initially feels a bit bright, it eventually melds into my skin tone, so if you usually wear a 22, I would recommend the 21 shade. The Hwahae cushion contains the famous Cica Manu 92 Serum from Hwahae, and you can notice the centella scent, which I find pleasant.
Cons
Although it has a dry complexion, when I apply makeup, a bit of oil comes up on the T-zone, and I also feel a slight itchiness around the nose area. However, since the coverage and ingredients are good, I don't think I'll stop using it just for those reasons.

There was a cooling sensation when I first applied it. After using the base, I tend to feel a bit of heat, but the cooling sensation was nice. As the name suggests, it has a moderately moisturizing feel, so my makeup didn't come off easily. So it's great for touch-ups as well. It's perfect for those who want a transparent skin look without the need for coverage. It provides a moderate tone-up effect, with minimal coverage.
Cons
Certainly, the coverage is lacking, so a concealer is essential. And strangely, whenever I use only this cushion, I get small bumps on my forehead the next day... When I cleansed with cleansing pads + cleansing balm + cleansing foam, I didn't get any bumps, but when I cleansed with just cleansing pads + cleansing foam or cleansing balm + cleansing foam, I got the bumps... Although the name has 'Sika', my sensitive-skinned friend used it for a day and her skin immediately reacted badly, so she never touched it again. For those with sensitive skin, please take note and carefully check the ingredients.

The color seems very natural and the coverage is quite good.
Cons
The color looks natural, so when the darkening is from half a tone to a full tone, it may appear darker.

The ingredients are gentle, so I don't feel like anything will come up even when I put on makeup.
Cons
I'm extremely shiny, and it's not just a light glow - it's a really oily, greasy look. And it's a semi-matte? Just feels like a flat matte. The moment I apply it to my face, it doesn't become dewy, but instead feels thick and heavy, almost cakey. But is the coverage good? No, not really. If I apply it thinly to avoid the cakiness, my skin still shows through, and my acne scars are still visible. If I build it up a bit more to cover, it gets extremely shiny, just like I mentioned before. I took the subway and looked in the mirror, and I was so shocked by how shiny my face looked that I had to keep my head down while traveling.
Tip
The Hwahae products are really great for use in the summer. The main advantage is that they rarely cause any troubles. In any case, I'll go buy a different cushion.

I really like it. First, the ingredients are really good and the moisture is not bad either. The coverage is also good at this level! The biggest advantage is the lasting power and the fact that there was no darkening for me. I'm the type that tends to darken easily, so after a while, whatever I put on gets darker (when I don't use a fixer or powder), but this product really doesn't have that. And rather, the coverage isn't too high, so it's easy to use smoothly. It's easy to use even for a simple outing, and it's easy to touch up outside. But since the lasting power is good, I don't really need to touch it up. I have a lot of peach fuzz on my face, so it's easily drying, flaky, and cracked, but this is really not the case... I've tried all the famous moisturizing cushions, but I regret that I only started using this now. Anyway, I really recommend it.
Cons
There were no troubles either. Rather, the skin felt comfortable while applying it. If you prioritize coverage, it might not be great. But it's better to use a concealer for coverage..
Tip
Based on the tone, it seems like a 20-21 shade, but there's a lot of redness and I prefer a more natural expression, so I'd prefer a 22 or a calmer 21 shade. This product in 23 is a perfect match! Even over time, it looks like your natural good skin. You should definitely get the 23 shade, the higher numbers will likely be too light.

I bought this essence once, which is said to be good for acne-prone skin and is often seen on Instagram. When I used it, my skin type changes with the seasons - oily in the summer and dry in the winter. I've tried this cushion in both summer and winter. The pros are: 1. It's really lightweight 2. It's gentle and doesn't cause breakouts 3. It gives a nice glow That's all the positives. Now for the cons:
Cons
1. Collapse 2. Entrapment 3. Not covered Even when using other cushions, if they collapse and get stuck, I would think it's because I'm not capable. But this one really collapses too easily, whether made thin or thick, and the area near the nose and chin easily gets stuck - this kind of collapse is something I've never seen before, and it's not even a pretty collapse. As for the cover, it may be because I can't do it properly, but to be honest, I don't really want to buy this quality for this price.

Skin type: Dry-sensitive Review: Overall, the cushion is decent. It's a semi-matte cushion, but it gives a subtle glow and makes the skin look beautiful. It comes out a half to one shade lighter than your original skin tone, so I recommend buying your usual shade instead of going up a shade. There's hardly any transfer to the phone, and the feel is comfortable without feeling stuffy. Most importantly, it's very hydrating.
Cons
I'm not sure about the calming effect... I didn't even hope for calming, and it would be great if there were no troubles, but troubles still came ๐ฅฒ There is quite a bit of unevenness and a slight feeling of lifting. There is quite a bit of unevenness, but the tone is really to my liking, so I just use it.
Tip
Hwahae carefully and diligently!
