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.
ConsThe 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.
TipSunscreen 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.

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.
ConsThe use of the dropper was slightly inconvenient, but the cosmetic product itself had no shortcomings!!!

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!!

After using it consistently, I felt like my skin texture was improving a bit.
ConsThe 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.

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.

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 best part was the fast absorption and skin texture refinement. Just patting it on a couple of times and it gets absorbed right away. And when applying, I felt my skin texture immediately becoming refined. Squeezing it out spreads it well, which was also good. I didn't experience any breakouts. I recommend this to those who want something lightweight that can refine skin texture. I had seen comments about the serum running out quickly, and perhaps because of that, I didn't find it to be used up as fast as I had expected during actual use.
ConsThe moisture and hydration aspects were slightly lacking. Before using this, I had prepared my skin with a Me xx Skin Pad(?) at the pre-skincare stage. But I applied it with just the serum without using the skin pad... I felt that the moisture and hydration were much more insufficient compared to when I used the skin pad. It seems you would need to apply a separate moisturizing cream or hydrating cream as well.

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

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsTypically, essences applied immediately after cleansing are often in a thin, watery formula like skin toner. However, this product is a slightly viscous essence. The amount is generous, and the packaging is neat. When applied, it absorbs incredibly well, without any residue left on the skin. I can feel my skin texture improving significantly. It seems to exfoliate very effectively. There is a subtle fermented scent to the product. It's not overpowering, but it's not completely unscented either. As it's a fermented product, this seems unavoidable.
ConsSince it's First Essence, it would be nice if there were products with more volume. When using cotton pads to apply it to the face, you inevitably need more product, so... It would be great if the price were a bit more affordable.
TipThe product description said to soak it in cotton and apply it, so I put it around my mouth where I had some flaky skin. The next day when I put on makeup, it had improved a lot. It seems like it would be good to put a little bit in when doing a natural face pack.

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!

The viscosity is not too runny, so it applies well on the skin. After cleansing, I apply it as the first step, and it absorbs quickly without any greasy residue. After absorption, the skin feels immediately soft and smooth. Using it in the morning and evening, I notice that my skin texture is refined and smooth after cleansing in the morning.
ConsI used it well without any skin troubles. However, when used alone, it may cause dryness, but when applied as the first step of my skincare routine and followed by other products, it was fine even for my dry skin.
