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.
ConsThe 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.
TipPersonally, applying the corresponding product before the skincare routine and then using a moisturizer resulted in exfoliation and hydration, leaving my skin feeling more moisturized!!

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.
ConsHonestly, the fermented enzyme-like aroma was a bit unpleasant.
TipUsed like a skin toner, it was great for providing moisture like a simple pack with a cotton pad!

After applying, I patted it in thoroughly, and then I definitely felt a moisturized sensation. Also, with some serum products that come with a dropper, the contents don't always come up easily, but this product's dropper worked very well, which I really appreciated.
ConsThere were no issues with the usage or troubles, but the fragrance was slightly irritating.
TipBefore going to bed, on dry days, during the skincare routine, please apply a sufficient amount of product on your face and gently pat it in to finish. Then, proceed with the remaining steps and go to sleep. You'll wake up with a truly hydrated complexion!

Due to the runny texture, it would sometimes quickly flow down and drip off my face when I applied it🥹 But the fast absorption was nice! Scent - As someone sensitive to scents... the scent is a bit strong, making it unpleasant to use ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ There's a slightly sour(?) smell, similar to the smell of new clothes. Review - The product itself is very satisfactory, as it effectively smoothens the skin and leaves it feeling moisturized. However, the scent is so strong that it overpowers everything else... It would be great to use it like a sheet mask, by soaking a cotton pad with the product. The runny texture absorbs quickly, leaving no stickiness. But you have to apply it immediately after dispensing, or else it will drip down or even get into your eyes ㅠㅠ
ConsThe product itself is good, but the scent is too strong, so I personally don't reach for it very often.

However, when I apply it directly to my face with the dropper, it just glides on and spreads out easily, so I prefer to dispense it onto my hand first and then apply it. While it feels a bit slippery on application, it gets absorbed quickly. And the day after I first used it, I noticed in the morning that my skin felt a bit different - softer and smoother. At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but my skin really did feel more supple and refined!
ConsThe scent is a bit strange, but since I'm not particularly sensitive to smells, I intentionally took a whiff at first, and using the product hasn't been overly inconvenient.

ConsThe formulation is well-absorbed like water, but it would be better if it were slightly thicker in texture.

It doesn't feel sticky, so I was able to use it comfortably even in the morning. After using it for about 2 weeks, I noticed that my skin texture became smoother and my complexion looked brighter.
ConsIn winter, it seems to lack moisturizing power, but using it together with a lotion did not cause much inconvenience. The fragrance is not particularly good.
TipAbsorb it with a warm palm!

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.ProsThe skin type is acne, combination, and porous. The formula itself is really watery! It's the kind of serum that has no viscosity at all, so there's almost no stickiness and it feels a bit distant from moisturizing!! I haven't noticed any significant effects on exfoliating yet... Since I have acne-prone skin, whether or not I get acne is the most important thing, and it doesn't seem to have much of an effect on acne, so it was okay to use it lightly! I'm not dry, but as I've gotten older, my oiliness has decreased a lot, but since I have acne-prone skin, I absolutely can't use rich, moisturizing creams. So I just finish with a light lotion, but if I do toner + this serum + lotion 3 times, it does get dry pretty quickly. So for dry skin types, it would be good to apply it with thorough moisturizing! Looking at the description, it seems like it's recommended to put a damp cotton pad on top, but I don't think there will be much irritation even if you do that. It's a short period of time, so I haven't seen any specific effects yet, but it seems like a decent product!
ConsThe smell is a bit pungent and strange. I'm not very sensitive to smells and prefer unscented products, so it doesn't bother me much, but many people are sensitive to fragrances. If you're sensitive to fragrances, you may want to avoid this.

But when it absorbed into my skin, I was surprised by the surprisingly firm finish it provided. Right after application, it feels moisturizing and refreshing, with a smooth, adhering sensation without any tightness. It seems like a good fit for those who find sticky products burdensome during the summer. ✔ Effective for exfoliation When wiped with a cotton pad, it feels like the dead skin cells are gently smoothed out. Even without using a separate exfoliating product, it can lightly remove dead skin and refine the skin texture. Using it before makeup application helps the base makeup adhere much more evenly. ✔ Reasonable price Skincare products are meant to be used generously, and this one has an affordable price, so you can use it liberally without burden. Considering the ingredients and the effects, it seems to be a pretty cost-effective product.
ConsFor dry skin, using it alone may not be enough. While it has a good amount of moisture, it is not very moisturizing, so for those with dry skin, it's better to layer it with other products or apply a cream on top. It may be fine in the summer, but in the winter, it could feel a bit drying.
Tip💡 For those with dry skin, Apply one layer first, and once it's fully absorbed, layer it on one or two more times. Finish with a cream on top, and the moisturizing effect will last much longer. 💡 When caring for dead skin, Soak a cotton pad with toner and gently wipe along the skin's texture to maximize the exfoliating effect. Using this before makeup will leave your skin smooth and allow the makeup to apply better. 💡 Recommended refrigeration! Keeping it in the fridge and using it will provide a cooling sensation, making it feel even more refreshing. It's perfect for soothing overheated skin in the summer.

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 product is a runny type that fills in a bit of moisture when applied, so it's great as the first step after cleansing. The most satisfying part was the moderate exfoliation it provided. I used to have reddish skin around my nose that would get flaky, especially in the winter, no matter how much moisturizer I used, but that problem disappeared after using this product. Even stubborn small blemishes like milia that wouldn't go away before were cleared up around my nose. I used this serum along with a glutathione-based product, and I'm not sure if the synergy between the two or the serum's own effects were responsible, but I'll have to use it more to know for sure. However, the results were definitely not solely due to the glutathione product, as that hadn't worked before but did after I started using this serum. Anyway, I'm so satisfied with just that aspect that I'll definitely repurchase once I finish this bottle. It's not a heavily moisturizing product, so you'll need to apply a separate moisturizer, but as a first step for refining texture and gentle exfoliation, I highly recommend it.
ConsThe scent is.. not great. It seems to be a common scent in Galactomyces products, but I dislike it.. However, the effects are good, so I'll just use it. It's not to the point where I can't use it.
TipAfter using this product, it seems to work better if you additionally use glutathione or vitamin C products. I recommend trying them together.
