I recently purchased this product as my skin seems to have lost a lot of elasticity. I have been using it for almost 2 weeks now. The texture is like a balm, and I scoop out a small amount, melt it in my palm, and apply it. It melts smoothly like a cream and becomes soft. Although it seems quite oily, it absorbs well into my skin and leaves it adequately moisturized. There is no stickiness or heaviness after application. The product size is small, but a little goes a long way, so I believe I can use it generously.
ConsWhile I'll need to use it a bit more, the improvement in elasticity and wrinkles hasn't been significantly noticeable yet.
TipI am applying it to the skin by pressing down firmly, not massaging it as usual.:)

I recently discovered and purchased the Hwahae Firming Band Cream. The application is smooth and butter-like, and it absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a residue. When I apply it in the morning, the moisturizing effect lasts throughout the day, leaving my skin feeling comfortable and without any tightness. With its triple benefits of deep hydration, anti-aging, and elasticity, I have high expectations for this product. The moderate oil content is perfect for my dry skin. The 30g size may seem small, but I only need to use about a quarter of the amount I would use for my regular cream, so it should last me a long time. I'm no longer a 'nomadic' cream user - I've found the one. Congratulations to me on an excellent choice!
ConsDue to the oily nature, it may be a bit too much for oily skin or acne-prone skin.
TipAs per the instructions, apply about half the amount of your usual cream on the palm of your hand, warm it up with body heat, and gently press it into the face to absorb it. When using retinol products or experiencing dryness, apply a restorative cream first, then layer on the Ecto cream twice.

ConsWhen applied, it appears white, so it seems like more absorption is needed. I'm not sure if it makes wrinkles disappear, but it doesn't seem to be causing any new ones.

As you get older, you tend to pay more attention to moisture management and barrier management. I applied for and received a unique product that grips the skin like a band. It has a balm-like texture that melts as you apply it. It feels very oily and has a tightening effect.
ConsThe problem is that even though it forms a thin film, my skin still produces a lot of sebum, so inflammatory acne often appears when I use it. The reason the review took so long is that I had to try it multiple times, recovering from the acne and testing other skincare lines, before realizing that this cream just doesn't suit my skin. However, since it's a premium line, I think it would be perfect to give to my mother. I'd recommend it for dry skin types concerned about loss of elasticity due to dehydration, rather than for acne-prone skin like mine.
TipThis itself is a bit oily, so you might want to try using it with oil paper or something similar to adjust it.

There is some inconvenience in melting it, but they say other cosmetics that use body temperature for absorption are better too, so I thought it was good that this product had to be used that way (?). It's good that it's small and easy to carry around. Even if I put it on my vanity, since there are a lot of other things there, it takes up less space, which is good. The scent is almost non-existent, very faint. I only apply white cast sunscreen when I do my makeup. The sunscreen doesn't slide around much and doesn't get greasy, which is good. Using very moisturizing products feels good for hydration, but if they don't absorb properly, the makeup can slide, which was a bit stressful, but this product didn't have that issue! The spatula is there, so it's easy to use. I can't bring myself to throw away the paper container, so I'm still carrying it around with me in case the spatula runs away 🤣🤣 If there wasn't a spatula, I think I'd have to use my nails to scoop it out, which would be very inconvenient. As for the whitening functionality, I'm honestly not sure.
ConsThe price...? Considering the total usage time, it's definitely not a small amount, but the price is a bit burdensome.

Instead of the creamy texture I expected when scooping out the product, the texture is similar to what I've seen in cleansing balms. So rather than applying the product directly to the face, it's better to warm it up in the palm of your hand and then apply it in an upward sweeping motion, as described, to areas that need lifting. Fragrance - The fragrance may be divisive. It has a similar scent to the cosmetic brands on the first floor of department stores. So some may find it off-putting, but I personally enjoyed it. Nourishment - This is a suitable night care product. Using it during the day may cause makeup to slide off. But when applied generously before bed, you can look forward to a refreshed complexion the next morning.
ConsAlthough it claims 100% moisture satisfaction, as someone who usually pays close attention to moisture/hydration in my nighttime skincare routine, I found that even after using this product, I still experienced a drying sensation over time.

Color: Pure white 3. Texture: When scooping out the Depper & Depper Firming Band Cream with a spatula, it feels like scooping out sorbet or ice cream. 4. Spreadability: It melts with body temperature and spreads very easily. 5. Usage: The instructions say to use 1/4 the amount of your usual cream, warm it up with the palm of your hand, and gently pat it into the areas that need firming. Since I'm older, I have to use it all over my face. I used 1/4 the amount of my usual cream all over my face. It melted well and spread nicely without needing to warm it up separately in my palms. I was surprised that such a small amount could cover my entire face. I used it during the hot weather, and even when I applied it at night and went to bed, my face didn't feel oily in the morning - it was just the right amount. It was also great to use in the summer mornings before going to work. Even in the very chilly autumn weather, the Depper & Depper Firming Band Cream worked well on its own. Maybe it's because I have a combination skin type? I think I've been using it for over a week, but I can't remember the exact duration because I've been so tired from all the overtime. My coworkers' faces have started to look worn out and aged, but when I check the mirror, my face still looks pretty good! I think the vitamin supplements I've been taking religiously, along with the Depper & Depper Firming Band Cream, might be the reason my skin is looking more plump and firm.
ConsI didn't test it on my super oily sister's skin because I was so tired and busy. For extremely dry skin, it might be a good idea to apply an additional moisturizer after using the Depper & Depper Firming Band Cream.
TipSince I also have a combination skin type, if it gets too dry, I'll apply the Depper & Depper Firming Band Cream and then add an extra moisturizing layer on top. The reason is that the Depper & Depper Firming Band Cream is amazing for improving skin elasticity. When I applied it to the back of my hand for a photo, I could see a subtle glow, and it looked even more impressive in person than in the photo.

The texture is quite unique. It's as firm as butter, but when applied, it melts and absorbs into the skin smoothly with the warmth of the hands. When I first looked at the cream in the jar, it seemed thick and potentially very oily, but it turned out not to be the case. I really like the feel of using it. As a dry-skinned person, I think those with dry skin will be very satisfied. It's a cream that has both oil and moisture, absorbing smoothly without any excessive oiliness or stickiness. Yet, it doesn't lack in hydration either. The comfortable moisture it provides doesn't result in any greasy or shiny residue, which I appreciate. After application, the applied area has a healthy glow. I've been using it as a night cream, applying it after my other hydrating skincare products! The scent is a very subtle lotion-like fragrance. It's not strong enough to be bothersome. Personally, I prefer my basic skincare products to have a mild fragrance, so this was good for me.
ConsThe price... it's quite expensive for the amount. I received it through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, but I'd hesitate a bit to purchase it at full price. However, I really do like the cream itself, so if I had the budget, I'd likely buy it again.
TipThe texture is as firm as butter. It melts away with the warmth of the hands, so you can use the provided spatula to scoop out a small amount, then warm it up in your hands before applying.
