Your skin type is combination skin, where the T-zone is oily and the other areas are dry. Your skin is thin and sensitive. The packaging was good as it was not overly packaged, and there was an instruction manual. The 50ml size is generous, and the dropper is long enough to reach the contents at the bottom. The formula is watery, but when applied to the skin, it has a toner-like finish that is not too drying and leaves the skin feeling smooth and soft, temporarily reducing the appearance of flakiness. Although the watery formula made me think it would not be hydrating, it actually provides a decent amount of moisture, though not an excessive amount - just a typical toner-level of hydration. However, for those with dry skin, using it alone may be drying. While my skin does have some flakiness, there was no dramatic change during the trial period, but the flakiness did decrease slightly. It did not completely disappear, but the flakes were reduced.
Cons
Irritation (not recommended for sensitive skin): The cheek area is dry, so I don't get acne, but after using this product, I had persistent acne on my cheeks. Also, when my skin condition was poor, I felt a stinging sensation when I applied it. It doesn't seem suitable for daily use. Skincare absorption rate: There was an explanation that when using this product, the absorption rate of the next skincare products would increase, but I didn't really feel that effect. Skin texture: After applying, it temporarily becomes smooth, but my skin texture doesn't seem to improve significantly.
Tip
When your skin condition is not good, do not use it, and layer it 2-3 times the day before makeup! The next day, less dead skin will peel off.

Here is a review of the product after using it as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. I used it morning and evening after cleansing for a week. * Rated 5 out of 5 stars. Skin texture: ★★★ The galactomyces ingredient worked well for me. I've used the Missha Cynic range extensively before, but this is the first time I've used a serum. It doesn't leave residue on the cotton pad and applies directly to the skin, so it's convenient and my skin texture is definitely improved. It's a shame it didn't show up in the photo. Improvement of dead skin: ★★★★ It's winter and dry, so it was good at calming the dead skin on my cheeks and nose. Even when just wearing sunscreen, my nose bridge was peeling, but after using the serum, it's better. It seems the panthenol ingredient agrees with me, as I didn't get any breakouts. Texture and application: ★★★ As a serum, it has a slight viscosity. I quickly dispense a drop on my forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin, then spread it with my palms. It absorbs quickly, so I can apply my moisturizer right after.
Cons
The Hwahae has a slightly milky or musty smell when first applied, but the odor disappears after application. This is normal, so you'll have to endure it. The dryness is quite severe, especially in the winter. Even after applying a serum, moisturizer, and an oil-based lotion, followed by sunscreen, my face still feels tight and drier than just using a toner. I'm not sure if it's due to the whitening ingredients or the wrinkle improvement properties, but I'll continue using it and provide additional feedback.
Tip
Sunscreen should be applied as the whitening ingredients are present. First, test the sensitivity on the neck and chin, then apply it to the face. For wrinkle improvement, extend the application to the neck as well! After applying to the face, use the remaining product on the elbows too.

This serum is a light and watery type, just like the saying that it is applied as the first step after cleansing. The texture is similar to a toner. The fragrance seems familiar, but I'm not sure what it is... However, it's not strong and has a light scent, which I don't mind. It also dissipates quickly. After applying, my skin feels slightly velvety!!! It's quite amazing. I feel like my skin texture is being refined. Since the product itself is lightweight, it worked well for me, as heavier products tend to cause breakouts. Overall, my skin feels smooth and well-refined.
Cons
The use of the dropper was slightly inconvenient, but the cosmetic product itself had no shortcomings!!!

Hwahae Trial Reviewers' review ✔Skin type My skin is very dry and oily, with large pores in the T-zone. ✔Packaging: The dropper-style packaging is hygienic and allows me to control the amount of product I use, which is great. ✔Texture: The watery, thin formula absorbs into the skin immediately. There is no residue or oily feeling left behind. ✔Exfoliation: After using the product for about a week, my skin felt much smoother. While the dead skin is not visible in photos, I can definitely feel the improved skin texture when I wash my face. ✔Low irritation: I usually find exfoliating products to be irritating, but this one did not cause any stinging or discomfort when I used it morning and night as part of my skincare routine.
Cons
The fragrance is not particularly pleasant. It's not odorless, but has a distinct musty aroma, which is not personally my preference, so I was a bit disappointed. The product is contained in a glass bottle, so it is a bit heavy to carry around for travel. I'm not sure if it is effective for whitening.
Tip
Personally, applying the corresponding product before the skincare routine and then using a moisturizer resulted in exfoliation and hydration, leaving my skin feeling more moisturized!!

After using it, there was no irritation and no breakouts at all. After using it consistently, I felt like my skin texture was improving a bit.
Cons
The serum was a bit too watery for my liking, making it a bit tricky to use. I think it lacks sufficient moisturizing properties for use during the winter. ' Individuals who are incompatible with the Galactomyces ingredient should avoid using this product.

My skin type is combination + sensitive. First, the packaging was so neat and pretty, and I could see how much product was left, which was great! The fact that galactomyces ferment filtrate is the first ingredient on the list means it takes up a large portion, and I was satisfied with that. The *pha ingredient also allowed for gentle exfoliation, which was nice. I thought it would be sticky, but it was less so than expected, and the hyaluronic acid made it feel moisturizing when applied. I thought the product would evaporate quickly, but it absorbed into my skin and lasted for a while. At first, I only used it in the evenings, just in case, since I have sensitive skin. But there were no issues, and my skin was fine. Since the ingredients are all gentle, I think I'll continue using it happily. My skin tone also seems brighter.
Cons
There wasn't really anything that I was dissatisfied with while using it~!! The only thing I'm a little worried about is that when I finish using it, I might not be able to use up every last bit of it..?
Tip
The tip is that it's nice to put the cosmetics in the refrigerator and use them, as they feel a bit cool. After washing your face, it also has a calming effect on the heated face. It's great!

This is a serum that is applied first before basic skincare. It has a runny, fast-absorbing texture. The scent has a slight fermented note, so it may not be suitable for those sensitive to fragrance. While it can be applied right after cleansing, which is convenient, it may not provide sufficient moisture retention for dry skin types, so additional basic skincare is necessary. Personally, I found it non-irritating and satisfactory to use like a toner.
Cons
Honestly, the fermented enzyme-like aroma was a bit unpleasant.
Tip
Used like a skin toner, it was great for providing moisture like a simple pack with a cotton pad!

I have combination skin that leans more towards oily skin. First, the fragrance was close to fragrance-free, which was good as it wasn't overbearing. The texture was like transparent water, but a bit more viscous than water. When applied, it absorbed quickly without any stickiness or residue, which I liked. There was also no pilling or makeup lifting. The makeup applied well and I felt good about it. There were no skin issues either. No milia, so I used it with complete satisfaction. The product packaging has a dropper, which makes it easy to dispense the product and use it hygienically, which I was also satisfied with.
Cons
Even though it's a Hwahae, I felt it was a bit dry to use just this! I think it's better to use multiple layers of skin or use it together with a moisturizing cream! I couldn't really notice any visible improvement in exfoliation or skin texture! That's a bit disappointing :(
Tip
I was satisfied when I used it mixed with a moisturizer! The dropper-type formula made it easy to mix with the moisturizer.

I have an oily pore skin. The Hwahae product can be used on oily skin without a sticky feeling, even in the summer. When my skin was dry, I layered it twice, but it still felt dry. It makes the skin texture smooth and works well on areas prone to peeling. I could apply it comfortably in the morning and evening without any issues.
Cons
For dry skin, it may be a bit drying. However, since it's not meant for standalone use and is an ampoule, it might still be okay. It seems to be more about refining the texture rather than just providing moisture, so even for my combination skin, I couldn't use it alone, especially in the winter. As for the fragrance, I didn't really find it bothersome or anything, and while reading the reviews, I was like 'Oh, there was a fragrance?'

This flows like a toner and cleanses the face in a water-type form. When applied right away, it is absorbed instantly. So it's great to keep it on the bathroom vanity, apply it right after cleansing, and then proceed with your basic skincare routine. After using this, I've noticed that my skin feels a bit smoother and softer in the mornings. It seems the gentle exfoliation is working, and my basic skincare products are also absorbing better. I'm quite satisfied with this product.
Cons
It is a bit inconvenient to apply it by hand as it flows too much. Since it is not a cheap product like a toner, I cannot just scoop it out and apply it like washing my face. I feel that using a cotton pad soaked in the product or a dropper-type container would be more appropriate.
Tip
It's more convenient to just dab it on with a cotton pad instead of directly applying it, as it's easier that way!
