- Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinJun 6, 2025
I really liked how this made my skin feel comfortable when I applied it. While I appreciate its natural look, I wish it had a slightly brighter effect. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinJul 13, 2024
I used to love Alkimi BB cream, so when I saw it on Hwahae, I decided to buy it again. The formula applies smoothly and keeps skin hydrated without making it greasy. It's so gentle that I feel comfortable applying it anytime, knowing it won't irritate my skin. I've always been a fan of this product, so there's not much to complain about. However, I wish the shade was just a tad lighter to brighten my complexion even more. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinJul 6, 2024
*Texture and Scent The texture isn't runny, but has a nice, firm consistency. It's so convenient to control the amount since it comes in a tube. There's a slight powder scent, but it's not overpowering or distracting. *Application Surprisingly, even though it's not an emulsion, it feels moisturizing without being heavy on the skin. The firm texture adheres well, so you need to spread it quickly. *Color I have a warm, yellow complexion, and when applied, it gives a slight pink tint. Rather than brightening, it gives a natural, healthy glow. Unlike BB creams that can turn grayish and darken throughout the day, this product's pink undertone seems to prevent noticeable darkening! *Benefits I have sensitive skin prone to blemishes with incompatible products, but this seems to have a soothing effect that prevents breakouts! I couldn't use BB creams before due to constant irritation, but I'm so relieved to have found a product I can use worry-free. It's perfect for those who dislike bare skin for work but find foundation too heavy. Even in this hot weather, it doesn't break down easily. That's crucial in summer, right? I finish with mineral powder, and while some oil inevitably comes through in the afternoon, just blotting with a tissue restores the matte finish. There's no noticeable darkening, so I find myself reaching for it often! The price is a bit high considering the beneficial ingredients, which is unfortunate. I wish they'd have more frequent discount events! The texture is a bit thick for quick application, so I mixed it with sunscreen which made it easier to apply. For those wanting a brighter complexion, try mixing it with a brightening moisturizer - it works wonders! - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinJul 5, 2024
Unlike most BB creams that can look cakey if applied incorrectly, this one doesn't. It moisturizes and subtly brightens the skin. It feels comfortable and not heavy when applied, which I really liked, and there's no pilling. It spreads easily with just your fingers, so you don't need any special tools. I apply a small amount and pat it in with my fingertips, and it blends seamlessly. The scent is hard to describe, but I can't say I like it. While it's not as strong as some cosmetics, I think it would be better if it were completely fragrance-free. Also, I was shocked when I saw the price. As a Hwahae Tester, I received this product for free and thought I'd buy it myself later, but oh... at this price, I might have to reconsider. It's just too expensive. On days when I don't need heavy makeup, I first apply a mineral sunscreen, then use this product to even out my complexion and cover blemishes. It creates a natural skin finish without feeling heavy, making it great for summer use too. While it's not a high-coverage product, it's perfect for those like me who usually just wear sunscreen but need a bit of tone correction and coverage. It can be used subtly for a natural look. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinJul 5, 2024
It's moisturizing, covers pores well, and has good staying power. Even with a light application, it provides excellent coverage, making my skin feel comfortable. I'm using shade 21, and it blends seamlessly with my complexion. I've finally found a BB cream that doesn't cake up after a long time! While I can't say there's absolutely no emphasis on dead skin cells, it's really minimal. There's some inevitable transfer. Since the SPF is a bit low, I recommend applying sunscreen underneath and then layering this on top. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJul 5, 2024
Trying a BB cream after so many years! As someone who loves working out, going bare-faced feels a bit uncomfortable, while foundation and cushions feel too heavy. This product feels just right to use. Best of all, it didn't cause any itching, rashes, or blemishes. It applies smoothly, has a pleasant scent, and keeps my skin hydrated without any tightness. That's why it's so easy to just quickly pat it on. As I'm approaching my 30s, full makeup can sometimes feel a bit much (like when my outfit and makeup don't quite match). This is perfect for light, everyday wear when going out. It also works great mixed with foundation! The color blends naturally with my shade 23 skin, and it doesn't have that typical grayish tint. Though it might appear a bit dark for those with very fair skin. While the coverage is light, I prefer a natural look, so I'm quite satisfied. The price is a bit steep, which makes me hesitate about repurchasing, but I plan to use up every last drop! The price is quite burdensome. I'll have to keep an eye out for sales. It works well mixed with foundation, and finishing with powder seems to make it last longer. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinJul 5, 2024
1. Absorbs beautifully - The creamy texture is neither too heavy nor too runny, making it easy to apply 2. A little goes a long way - As a first-time user, I squeezed out too much, but you don't need that much 1. The price is a bit wicked - Even with discounts, it feels quite expensive, making it hard to justify the purchase 2. Lack of sun protection is a bit disappointing - Unlike other BB creams that often include SPF, this one doesn't. You'll need to apply sunscreen separately, which might feel heavy in summer 3. A BB cream you can wear to bed? - They claim you can wear it while sleeping, but I was surprised by how much it transferred. While the product warning mentions this, I'm not sure why you'd want to wear BB cream to bed anyway 4. The fragrance is hit or miss Tip: Be aware of potentially irritating ingredients! - Hwahae UserDry SkinJul 5, 2024
It's a bit thick but not overly so, making it easy to apply. It's gentle enough on the skin that you can wear it to bed! I often use it when I don't want to go full makeup after working out or for casual meetups, but still want some coverage. The color has a grayish tint, but once applied, it looks natural. I usually use shade 17, and this cream focuses more on evening out skin texture rather than brightening. Those with very fair skin (shade 13) might find it a bit dark. I recommend this BB cream for those looking for a non-suffocating formula that you can wear even while exercising. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinJun 30, 2024
It's incredibly hydrating! I think it'll be perfect for winter use. While I have combination skin, it might be a bit much for summer. When applied over regular sunscreen, it can make your skin look a bit too shiny. However, it pairs wonderfully with Innisfree's mineral sunscreen, which can be quite thick and drying. I'm saving some to use in winter when I think it'll be even better. It absorbs beautifully and feels so gentle on the skin! For my combination skin, it's a bit heavy for summer use. If your skin tone is lighter than shade 20, it might appear a bit dark on you. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAcne SkinJun 29, 2024
First off, it's great that this BB cream can be used on acne-prone and problematic skin! I have combination dehydrated skin with deep dryness. My skin is dry underneath but produces a lot of oil on the surface, leading to many small blemishes. When I wear makeup, by afternoon my skin feels tight but looks oily, and my makeup appears to be floating... It's a vicious cycle. However, with this product, I felt less of that deep dryness even in the afternoon. After application, my face felt more comfortable overall! 1. Coverage: The coverage is practically non-existent. I ended up having to apply cushion foundation on top. 2. Color: I have a medium skin tone (around shade 23), so the color difference wasn't too drastic for me. However, for those who usually use shades 21 or 22, this might be too dark. It would be great if they offered a wider range of shades. Even though I typically use shade 23, I sometimes opt for shade 22 for a brighter look. Even I felt this product was a bit dark. 3. Adherence and Longevity: The formula is quite moisturizing, which might not be suitable for summer use. It seems more appropriate for winter. It doesn't provide the same level of makeup coverage as regular foundations or cushions. It feels more like a basic BB cream or even closer to a base or CC cream. 4. Ingredients: These days, I always check for potentially problematic ingredients on Hwahae before choosing products. Regardless of how it feels on the skin, I might be hesitant to use this product due to its ingredients. 5. Price: Typically, cushions and foundations are in the 30,000-40,000 won range, but this is priced in the 60,000 won range. I'm not sure if this price is justified given its performance and purpose. Moreover, the packaging doesn't seem to reflect that price point.
