When applied, you can feel a bit of richness, but as you pat it in, it seems to coat the skin, creating a glow and leaving it incredibly hydrated. After absorption, there's a slight stickiness when touched, which seems to indicate its strong moisturizing effect. Scent: It's nearly fragrance-free. There's a very faint scent that seems to come from the cosmetic ingredients rather than added perfume. Unless you put it right up to your nose, you'll hardly notice any scent at all. Recommended Skin Types: This cream is perfect for combination dehydrated skin and dry skin types. It's ideal for those with an imbalanced oil and moisture levels, as it provides definite hydration while seeming to strengthen the skin. Even with my super sensitive skin, I experienced no itching or tingling - my skin felt comfortable and moisturized.
ConsApart from the small size, I found absolutely nothing to complain about.

Skin type: Dry - Absorption: Initially, it applies super smoothly, but as you keep rolling it in, it gradually becomes thicker and feels a bit heavier! I think this might be a bit much for skin types other than dry! - Absorption: The absorption is really good, and it absorbs super quickly! Sometimes I worry if it's absorbing too well into my skin, like 'Is it really getting in there properly?' Recommended skin type is definitely dry!
ConsFirst off, it might be difficult to apply before morning makeup. Most pre-makeup skincare should be lightweight, but this feels quite heavy on initial application, so it could cause your makeup to pill. As for absorption, it does absorb quickly, so it might not be bad for normal to oily skin types. However, this quick absorption might leave dry skin types wondering, 'Is this actually working? I guess it must be?' The fragrance-free formula means it probably won't be a deal-breaker for most people.
TipIt's not a big tip, but I highly recommend applying this as part of your nighttime skincare routine before bed, rather than as a pre-makeup base!

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.ProsTrue to its nature as a night balm, it has a rich texture and is fragrance-free. In winter, my arms and legs get extremely dry and itchy in patches, so I applied it mainly to these areas. I could definitely feel it soothing and protecting my irritated skin while being gentle. Rather than during the day, I applied it before bed, and when I woke up in the morning, my skin felt soft and had less dead skin cells! On days when my face felt extremely tight, I squeezed out a tiny amount, about the size of a dot, and applied it thinly. Even with this small amount, the rich texture provided sufficient hydration. It's truly a thick, rich balm, so I couldn't use it daily, but it's great to apply like a sleeping cream over just toner when your skin needs a break! I mainly applied it to my knees and arms, and it was great for calming sensitive, chicken skin-like bumps. After sleeping with this on, my skin definitely became softer and the itching disappeared! This would be perfect for those with super sensitive skin who can't use just anything, people with atopic dermatitis, and even babies or pregnant women.
ConsIf I had to nitpick, maybe the small quantity could be seen as a downside. To be honest, I haven't really found anything significantly disappointing about it yet. If I had to mention something, perhaps the quantity and price?? It's not extremely expensive, but somehow... there's just a slight feeling of... something lacking in terms of the price point.
TipFor combination dehydrated or oily skin (face), I recommend using just toner and emulsion, or toner, essence, and ampoule, then applying a tiny dot of the balm spread thinly! For those with sensitive body skin, I also recommend using it on your body!

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.ProsTexture: Thicker than an emulsion but thinner than a cream. Application: Glides on smoothly. However, due to its rich oil content, it may not apply evenly if your skin is damp. Make sure to fully absorb your toner or other hydrating products before use. Absorption: Absorbs faster compared to other products. Quickly sinks in unless you apply too much. Stickiness: As expected from a balm, there is some stickiness. Moisturizing power: My rough skin felt soothed and softened after application. It's quite moisturizing and likely suitable for dry skin types. User experience: I have combination dehydrated skin. It's quite rich, so I mainly used it at night as it felt too heavy for daytime use. Checking my skin in the morning after using it, I noticed it felt much softer. I used it frequently when my skin was acting up. However, with daily use, I experienced itching and blemishes. I recommend avoiding it when your skin is super sensitive. For oily skin types, I suggest using it every 2-3 days in the evening rather than daily.
ConsScent: It has an ointment-like or herbal scent that might be polarizing. Personally, I'm not a fan. Price: The quantity is small for the price point.
TipI don't recommend using this when your skin is extremely sensitive. For oily skin types, I suggest applying a thin layer and using it every other day.

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.ProsI've been using this for about two weeks, and initially, it feels a bit like an ointment when applied. It's thick and slightly white, but once you spread it out, the feel is amazing. It absorbs quickly without any stickiness. I highly recommend it for combination dehydrated skin and oily skin types. You can use a small amount in summer, and it's great for spring, fall, and winter too. It seems to be really beneficial for the skin barrier. I've been prone to acne on my cheeks lately, but after cleansing regularly and applying this consistently, my skin has improved noticeably. Absolutely recommended for acne-prone skin! I have super sensitive skin that easily reacts, and although one ingredient is listed as potentially sensitizing, it worked fine for me. I'll definitely repurchase after finishing this one. Please increase the volume though! I think it's fantastic for soothing the skin.
ConsPerhaps because it's fragrance-free, it does have a strong ointment-like scent, but it dissipates quickly. Also, the volume is quite small at 40ml, so it seems like it'll run out fast. Please consider increasing the quantity!

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 is my review after winning the event: First off, my skin type is extremely dry. I usually need to reapply moisturizer every 2-3 hours due to intense dryness, and in winter, even using cream and oil together doesn't keep my skin from feeling parched. 1. Texture: It's slightly thick, so it doesn't glide on as smoothly as a typical moisturizer. While it's more rich than hydrating, I love that it doesn't feel sticky after application! The texture is very similar to Dexpanthenol creams you can find at pharmacies. 2. I highly recommend this for dry skin. 3. Although it's more rich than hydrating, it doesn't feel like it's clogging my pores at all, so there's no worry about blemishes.
ConsThe downside is that the rich feeling doesn't last very long, so it feels a bit insufficient for my extremely dry skin. The product size is also on the smaller side, so considering the value for money, I probably won't purchase it again.

I was surprised by the texture - I thought it would be very thick like a night cream, but it's actually quite nice to apply, with a moderate richness. It's also fragrance-free, which is great for those with sensitive noses. Being a medical-grade product, the ingredients are generally gentle. However, if you have super sensitive skin, it's always good to check the ingredient list and do a patch test first. While the hydration is decent, it might not be enough for the dead of winter on its own. I'd recommend layering it with another cream for extra moisture, especially at night as part of your evening skincare routine.
ConsIt's too early for me to tell if it's really improving my skin barrier - I'll need to use it for longer to see those effects. Also, the amount you get for the price feels a bit on the small side, which is disappointing.
TipIf you find it's not quite moisturizing enough on its own, try mixing it with another cream or applying it as the final step in your routine for an extra boost of hydration. You could also blend it with a facial oil or serum for added nourishment. While it works well all over the face, you might find it particularly effective if you focus on areas that need extra moisture.

Recently, whether due to the weather or age, my skin's been itchy. I stumbled upon this SOS balm and it's a winner. I applied it to areas with stretch marks that were particularly itchy, and it calmed down instantly, like applying medicine. Though it seems thick, it spreads easily with amazing absorption. I'm incredibly satisfied using it on my face too. It might look a bit oily at first, but within seconds, you can feel it being completely absorbed. It feels like they've released this product with the confidence that it'll become a must-have item once people try it. Even now, as I use it, I feel a bit sad watching the amount decrease.
ConsAs expected with such effectiveness, the price reflects it. The size is quite small - I used up half just applying it to my body. If I could make a suggestion, it would be great if they could release a hand cream version in the current size but with added fragrance. Honestly, among all the hydrating products I've tried so far, this is the best for me.
TipApplying it when the skin is still slightly damp gives great moisturizing satisfaction and the effects seem to last longer.

That's why maintaining healthy skin barrier function is crucial. This cream is perfect for that! + I was worried because the texture seemed very thick, but once applied, it maintains a smooth, deeply moisturizing feel. + Even with two layers, it's neither too light nor too heavy. It's intensely hydrating without feeling suffocating or causing tightness. + When traveling, it's convenient to just bring this instead of a separate essence. The small size is perfect for carrying around. + It's a reassuring formula that excludes 10 potentially harmful ingredients.
Cons-- Compared to other products from this brand, it's quite pricey for the amount you get. I can't really tell the difference between this and their existing Intensive MD product. Intensive MD: 80ml for 32,000 won Intensive SOS+ Balm: 40ml for 24,000 won - I've had blemishes from products containing stearic acid before, but fortunately, this didn't cause any! - There's a unique scent, kind of like wheat noodles? It's not overpowering, but it might not be to everyone's taste.
TipFor intense hydration, I recommend applying small amounts in layers rather than slathering on a lot at once. This helps with absorption.

Now, thanks to being selected for The Hwahae Testers, I got to try their SOS Balm too. The texture is like a thick ointment with a rich feel, so for combination dehydrated skin like mine, it's best to apply a thin layer only where needed. I noticed two main benefits while using this product: 1. Blemish soothing - I occasionally get blemishes, so I applied it to one on my chin. It was red, swollen, and painful even without touching. Surprisingly, after applying it before bed, it started to subside the next day. Within two days, it was much better, though a mark remained. I wish I had taken before and after photos! 2. Redness improvement - Recently, my cheeks have been getting red due to dry indoor air and heating. I was skeptical, but after applying a thin layer in the evening, I noticed significantly less redness and heat the next day.
ConsOne downside is that while the blemish subsided, the scar remained. It seems I'll need a separate scar-removing ointment for that. Also, when I applied a thin layer on my cheeks in the evening for redness, I noticed my cheeks looked even more flushed before bed. I was worried it might be a side effect, but it was fine the next day. I'm not sure if I should continue applying it this way.
TipOne tip from the usage instructions that seems helpful is to apply this after your moisturizer. Also, I found that applying a thin layer works best. While it's pricey for the amount you get, I think it'll last a long time.
