Pros
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!

Pros
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!

Pros
☘️ Skin Type Extremely dry and dehydrated skin ☘️ Texture & Ingredients & Fragrance It has a lightweight, refreshing liquid texture. Due to the fermented filtrate, it has a unique scent, but it's not overpowering. It didn't bother me during use! In line with trends, it's formulated without fragrance and allergens, so it's gentle. ☘️ Galactomyces & PHA Some skin types get along well with galactomyces, while others don't. The ingredients are relatively mild, but it's recommended to do a patch test before using. The synergy of the brightening and exfoliating effects of galactomyces and the gentle skin-smoothing effects of PHA is great. I could use it daily, morning and night, without any burden. ☘️ Hydration & Pores & Exfoliation To be honest, I'm a skeptic when it comes to pore care. Pores are difficult to improve even with treatments, and consistent skincare doesn't seem to have much effect. However, I use it for the plump finish and skin texture refinement! Even just smoothing out the uneven texture makes the skin look brighter and clearer, and requires less effort. There's a slightly plump feel, but no pore-tightening effect at all, and the exfoliation makes the skin feel smooth within a few uses. The hydration feels a bit lacking, so it's better suited for combination to oily skin types, and using a moisturizer afterwards is much more effective.
Cons
The high galactomyces content may make it burdensome to use on skin with severe inflammatory blemishes due to its characteristics.

Pros
🩷The formula is transparent and watery 🩷It absorbs well and makes the skin texture smoother 🩷The mild exfoliating ingredients gently refine the skin, which is great 🩷The 8 types of low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid provide excellent moisture repletion 👍 🩷When used as the first serum step for dry skin, it helps regulate the skin and acts as a booster for other skincare 🩷The skin feels immediately softened upon application 🩷The fragrance-free aspect is also a plus 👍
Cons
The formulation is well-absorbed like water, but it would be better if it were slightly thicker in texture.

Pros
Skin Type ღ Forehead - Oily + Acne ღ Cheeks - Dry + Redness + Sensitive ღ Nose - Enlarged Pores • • • Advantages ✅ The most gentle-feeling among the booster serums I've tried for sensitive skin ✅ LHA ingredient gently exfoliates after cleansing ✅ Despite being a booster serum, it has a good amount of moisture ✅ Effective in caring for acne caused by excessive dead skin cells
Cons
☑️ The boosting effect is less than expected ☑️ It has moisture, but it is difficult to address the inner dryness
Tip
The Aqua All-Day Keeping Serum, which is in the same line as the Hwahae, can be used together to achieve a boosting+moisturizing effect.

Pros
First, it's a bit disappointing because I couldn't use it more than three times as daily writing was burdensome. These days, there are many products that melt away dead skin cells and sebum, but my skin is really sensitive, so I couldn't buy them. However, I applied for this one because I heard it's very gentle. And it really is gentle - I didn't feel any irritation at all when I used it!! So, while I couldn't really feel it melting away the dead skin, I'll try to use it more going forward. I liked it because the ingredients are good.
Cons
I wear a mask every day when I work, but I think I should only apply it in the evening. I apply everything else the same in the morning, but this one extra thing has caused a yellow, bumpy rash to appear, like a skin irritation. So I think it's because of the moisture, which is why I'm going to apply it only in the evening! And the vinegar-like smell is something I really dislike. Haha.

Pros
This is a complex and sensitive skin that often experiences minor troubles. The formula is not watery, but has a slight viscosity, yet it is not sticky. It is absorbed quickly after application, leaving a refreshing and lightweight texture. There is a slight fermented scent due to the fermented ingredients, but it is not overpowering, and I personally did not find it bothersome. I used it as the first step after cleansing, both in the morning and evening, and did not experience any irritation. Even without additional exfoliation, my skin feels smooth and soft every day... It is smooth when washing and when applying skincare. It is great for gentle daily exfoliation! Deep-seated blackheads do not come out, but the white heads that build up on the surface are very well managed. Without any sebum control, my nose area usually develops bumps within 3 days, but this product helps maintain a smooth texture. I also recommend this as a morning Hwahae serum.
Cons
While there's not much to complain about, if I had to pick something, it would be that the amount of product that comes out with each pump of the dropper is a bit on the lower side. I usually have to pump it twice to get the amount I need.
Tip
Slightly dampen the cotton pads used for toner with water, then lightly sprinkle serum on them and place them over areas with excessive oil secretion. Wipe them off, and this will help better regulate the exfoliation of dead skin cells.

Pros
The texture is watery and applies with a slightly oily feel. It has the characteristic thin oily texture of Hwahae. The scent is almost unscented but has a slightly sour note. It was not bothersome to me. If absorbed well, there was no problem applying the next step moisturizer or nourishing cream. However, it feels generally greasy. There was no irritating sensation.
Cons
The product's galactomyces content is a bit disappointing due to its oily nature. In the ampoule/serum stage, a lightweight and hydrating type would be preferable, and the final cream should have some oil content to make the skin feel moisturized. The exfoliating ingredients may be the reason for the slightly pilling sensation when applying makeup in the morning. The experience varies depending on skin condition, so it doesn't happen every day, but there are occasional instances of pilling. Overall, the usage experience was decent. I don't feel a strong need to use this product in the ampoule/serum stage. If hydration is the priority, a more moisturizing product would suffice, and if exfoliation is important, a simple scrub product could work just as well.
Tip
After cleansing, during the toning step, dampening a cotton pad with toner and applying 3-4 drops of ampoule, then wiping it off, gives a sense of the skin being slightly more refined. It feels less greasy and is also more quickly absorbed.

Pros
First, it has a smooth, non-irritating texture on the skin. After application, the moisture lasts for a long time, and there is little oiliness, so it does not feel heavy even after applying makeup. I can see why the product is so well-known.^^ These days, I've been constantly wearing a mask due to the ongoing cold, so I've tried many other products, but they would get cakey and sticky. Lately, I haven't been applying anything, but this serum doesn't feel heavy or sticky - just a long-lasting, moisturized feel. It's great.^^ And as the weather gets colder, my face would get red from the application, but since using this serum, the redness has gone away. After applying it in the morning, the moisture lasts until the evening. I'd recommend this to those who don't like strongly scented products.^^ Many serums can feel irritating after application, but this one is so gentle that even a child could use it.^^ I've been wanting to try the galactomyces serum, and now I have the chance to do so for free. But I'll need to purchase it before it runs out.^^
Cons
There are no particular shortcomings, but if I had to say something, it would be that it would be better if you could make the capacity a bit larger.^
Tip
In the morning, after washing my face, I apply the serum first. At night, I only apply the serum before going to bed. Perhaps that's why my skin doesn't feel overly moisturized, and my complexion has become brighter, so people have been asking me what I've been doing to my face lately.^^

Pros
The spreadability and absorbency are both excellent, and even as someone with sensitive skin, I was able to use it without much irritation or trouble, which I was pleased about. 🙂 Moreover, it is packed with ingredients that are great for skin care, so I have been using it frequently. 😃
Cons
Of course, the disappointing capacity is inevitable given the excellent performance. I've been using it so often, haha.
Tip
After cleansing, it's a must! On days when you want to pamper yourself, apply generously and use a face mask as well😃
