  Pros

  First off, the texture is a balm type. Although it's only 30ml, which is on the smaller side, you only need to use about a quarter of your usual cream amount, so I don't think the quantity is insufficient. You can take a small amount in your hand, melt it with your palm's warmth, then apply it all over your face, gently pressing it in. It melts smoothly in your hands, similar to shea butter. When you apply it to your face, you immediately feel its richness. When I first used it without any prior information, I thought it must be quite expensive due to how rich it felt all over my face. It seems perfect for seasonal changes or especially winter use, and I think it would be particularly great for those with dry skin. My skin type is combination dehydrated, and while I usually break out easily with balm-type products, I've been using this cream without any blemishes. There's also no sensation of irritation at all. The fragrance is unscented, so I think anyone can use it well without polarizing opinions.

  Cons

  The texture feels a bit heavy, so it might be difficult to use in summer. While it's rich enough, it feels a bit lacking in hydration. I understand it's due to the balm type, but it was a bit disappointing that it felt more like it was wrapping the surface rather than deeply moisturizing the skin.

  Pros

  This is my first time using a balm-type product. It comes with a stick to scoop out the product. When applied, it gives a subtle pearlescent glow. The texture makes my skin feel incredibly soft. While it imparts a pearl-like radiance, it doesn't leave me looking greasy at all. I have combination dehydrated skin that tends to get dry in winter and oily in the T-zone during summer, with blemishes often appearing in the U-zone. However, I didn't experience any blemishes after using this product. One of my main concerns when trying new products is whether they'll clog my pores and cause breakouts, but I'm happy to report that didn't happen at all. Since I've only used it for a few days, I'll need more time to evaluate its effects on skin elasticity.

  Cons

  The balm format means you need to be diligent about maintaining the stick applicator, which can be a bit inconvenient. When I wake up the next morning, my skin feels slightly lacking in hydration. If I use too much product, I worry it might feel greasy, but using a moderate amount leaves me feeling like I need more moisture. I think I'll need to apply a separate hydrating product first before using this one.

  Pros

  Combination dehydrated skin + Textured skin 1. Application experience The unique application method was intriguing, making me more attentive and careful when applying. Unlike typical creams, the texture is more solid, like a balm. You need to use the stick to scoop it out and melt it in your palms. 2. High hydration with minimal product Despite the smaller quantity, it's less burdensome and provides sufficient moisture due to its rich texture, compared to other creams. 3. Improved elasticity When applied as the final step in my evening skincare routine, I noticed an improvement in the previously dry butterfly zone and under-eye area compared to the day before. 4. Pleasant fragrance While the cream feels a bit heavy for its small amount, the sweet scent makes it more appealing. 5. Sleek packaging The clean, minimalist packaging is a plus. Its compact size, relative to the amount of product, makes for easy storage.

  Cons

  1. Usage instructions Both a pro and a con. While it encourages careful application, the lack of consistent instructions on the packaging regarding amount and method of use is disappointing. Clearer, more user-friendly directions would be beneficial. 2. Rich texture Due to the recommended smaller amount, it feels richer compared to other creams. 3. Application method The need to use your entire palm for application might be slightly inconvenient, especially for those with super sensitive skin who need to be extra careful about cleanliness.

  Tip

  The effectiveness and satisfaction level would likely be much higher when used as part of an evening skincare routine.

  Pros

  This is a review from The Hwahae Testers after using the product for two weeks in the height of summer, August 2024. My skin type is dry and sensitive, prone to blemishes if the oil and moisture balance isn't right. It's also reactive, getting red and swollen when irritated. My usage method: During the day, I followed my usual routine. I mainly used this product in the evening. Due to my extremely dry skin, I applied a hydrating toner first, then warmed the Firming Band Cream in my palms before pressing it into my skin. I topped it with an emulsion. Initially, I tried using just the toner and band cream, but my skin quickly became dry and itchy, so I had to add the emulsion. Texture: It has a balm-like consistency that's easy to scoop out with a spatula. It's not a thick balm, more like a soft lip balm that melts easily with the warmth of your hands. Scent: There is a scent, though I'm not sure how to describe it. It's not overpowering or irritating, and I got used to it quickly. Post-use impressions: - I'm satisfied that it didn't cause any blemishes. - My skin felt smooth, soft, and firm. - I noticed a slight improvement in elasticity. - It wasn't as oily as I expected, so my hair didn't stick to my face.

  Cons

  The downsides were: - It didn't fully balance my skin's oil and moisture (I had to use additional hydrating and moisturizing products). - The lid is very light, and if closed too tightly, it's hard to open. - It felt a bit heavy for daytime use in midsummer. - The price per volume is a bit high for daily use.

  Tip

  I'd recommend this for intensive care when your skin is losing elasticity or feeling rough. It's probably better suited for winter use rather than summer.

  Pros

  When writing reviews, I always start by describing my skin condition. I have atopic skin, which inevitably comes with dryness and sensitivity. This time, I used the product when my atopy was particularly severe. While my face isn't usually affected too badly, it can't escape some impact when the condition worsens. What I appreciated about the Fermang Band Cream was that it applied smoothly without causing any tingling sensation, even on my super sensitive skin. I'll need to use it more consistently to fully gauge its effectiveness, but I found the scent pleasant (though this might vary from person to person). The balm-like texture melts quickly and absorbs well into the skin.

  Cons

  Well, I generally don't prefer products with a rich feel, and this one does leave a slightly greasy sensation with some oiliness after application.

  Tip

  As mentioned in the product description, I think using this cream in combination with gua sha might enhance its effectiveness.
