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.:)

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.

When applied, it just sinks right into the skin and clings to it in a plump, hydrating way - I felt my skin was so intensely moisturized. That's why I highly recommend this for dry skin types. I think it will work wonderfully even as we head into winter! 🫶Texture It's a balm-like cream, so I was expecting a rich, creamy texture, but it's actually more of a balm consistency. But the balm texture actually makes it even more hydrating, in my opinion. You have to scoop it out with a spatula, and while it has a slightly dry, powdery feel when scooping, it applies very smoothly and plushly. 🫶Fragrance It does have a bit of a cosmetic fragrance, but it's not overpowering or unpleasant - just a light, subtle scent. Since I'm a bit sensitive to fragrance, I think I would have preferred it to be completely fragrance-free, but this level is still manageable for me.
ConsThe fact that it's a balm-like texture that requires scooping with a spatula was a bit inconvenient for me. It's a hassle, and there's always a slight hygiene concern with having to dip into the jar. I think I would have preferred a tube format, which would have been more convenient.
TipThe synergy with a hydrating ampoule is amazing. Be sure to apply it every evening before bed! When you wake up, your skin will feel so plump and bouncy. As I've entered my mid-30s, wrinkles have started to really appear, and I'm hoping this product will help minimize their appearance a bit.

I haven't used it for long, so I'm not sure about the effects yet, but I'll keep using it consistently!!! 🖤Pros🖤 Compared to other brands' firming and whitening products, this is gentler. And it seems to absorb well despite the texture! 🖤How would you describe the Diffen & Diffen Ecto-In Firming Band Cream?🖤 #Whitening #Firming #Gentle_firming_and_whitening_care #Good_absorption
ConsThere doesn't seem to be any downsides at all!!! It's not at all burdensome, so I really like it!!!
TipFor those with oily skin, I'd recommend using only a very small amount!!!

It absorbs well without leaving an oily residue after application! Additionally, this product claims to have a banding effect! > To be honest, I'm not sure yet. It feels like a placebo effect, with my face feeling tightly bound. < While long-term use and photographic comparison may reveal differences, I didn't experience any dramatic effects. ㅠㅜ
ConsI didn't really feel the banding effect that the product claims to have.

It felt firm and dense, but when I melted it with the warmth of my hands, it dissolved quickly and absorbed well. The next day, my skin was in great condition, so I reached for it again.
ConsThe amount seemed a bit small at first. You'll need to use just the right amount, I suppose?
TipPlease use just the right amount as the final step in your skincare routine. That way, you'll be able to have beautifully conditioned skin to do your makeup the next day.

Please increase the volume~ A must-have item for people in their early 40s with laziness!!! An essential item for new moms!!! □ Scent: The scent I love!!! I feel good every time I apply it!! □ Texture: A melting balm-type texture that melts and spreads with body temperature □ Spreadability: Extremely soft and spreadable like a sorbet □ Absorption: Absorbs immediately after application □ Irritation: None at all □ Effectiveness: Improves elasticity and skin affinity, immediately lifts skin tone by 1 level (blurs skin expression) □ Moisturizing: Perfect 5 out of 5 stars □ Stickiness: None at all □ Oiliness: May have a slightly tightening feeling, but it's not a big deal as it maintains long-lasting moisture □ Makeup Application: Adheres well initially, but may become slightly oily and shiny over time Final Positive Review - 1. After applying toner or essence, it keeps my skin moisturized all day. I massaged it into my skin like melting butter, and then did a lifting massage. I also tested it with just sunscreen during the day, and then with foundation for a 2-step test. The first step made my skin look healthier, with the right amount of moisture. The second step provided an excellent base, but over time there was a slight caking effect, so touch-up makeup was needed. - 2. Applying it right after skincare, it also keeps my skin moisturized all day. There is a slight tightening feeling, but it's not due to dryness. - Common observation: My skin feels incredibly soft and smooth to the touch. After a week of testing, it's an exceptional product for travel, and I feel there's no substitute for it. - Just looking at the photos, I can see the improved elasticity in the cheek area, and I believe the effects will be more noticeable with continued use.
ConsI believe it is wise not to have excessive expectations for elasticity. While it was not highly effective for fine wrinkles, it did have an impact on elasticity. However, it is not a dramatic effect, but it is excellent as a one-day all-in-one cosmetic substitute. The disappointing aspects are that I wish there was more pore elasticity, and the volume is small and has a sticky texture. I will likely use it up quickly in the fall and winter!! Nevertheless, I will definitely repurchase it!!
TipThose who want to do a basic diet will find it extremely beneficial to just apply this after toner. At night, absorb it with a moisture essence or a trace essence, and apply it last. Then, pack it with a firming band and go to sleep. A friend asked me, "Have you been going to the management office lately?" This is just for travel, a dedicated business trip esthetics.

The texture glides on smoothly and has good spreadability. 🖍️Usage It applies softly and comfortably. 🖍️Fragrance It's not fragrance-free, but the cosmetic scent is mild and unobtrusive.
ConsSince it's a balm-type, those with oily skin should be particularly careful with the amount they use, and it's recommended to apply it more at night than during the day.
TipIt's a great product to use as a nightcare, especially to care for facial and neck wrinkles before bedtime.

It's said to help improve elasticity, so I gave it a try. This is the first time I've used a balm-type cream, and I was intrigued by the creamy, sorbet-like texture that came out of the spatula. I was worried that it might feel heavy when applied, but it melts smoothly and gets absorbed, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft. I applied it after my nighttime shower and skincare routine, and while I'm not sure if it's visibly improved my elasticity yet, I was surprised by how well it hydrates. Even with my extremely dry skin, I could feel my skin feeling supple the next morning. I plan to repurchase and use it for a while longer to see if it gradually improves my skin's elasticity, but so far I'm quite satisfied with it.
ConsThe price-to-quantity ratio is a bit disappointing. Even though I use it sparingly, I don't think it will last me very long.

It spread out thinly and absorbed right away, leaving a subtle glow on my face, so I was like, 'Oh, this is perfect!' I really hate sticky creams, and I don't use face masks often (some thick sheet masks still feel sticky even after removal), but this one has just the right amount of glow without any stickiness (though there's a slight oily feel). It applies very thinly and feels light, but it provides sufficient moisture? My face doesn't feel stuffy at all, and it has a nice, subtle glow, so I really liked it. Later, when I went to write a review, I found out it's a massage cream... Haha, good thing it's not the middle of winter. Without even realizing it, I ended up applying it without doing the massage, and it still worked great. And the fragrance-free aspect is fantastic!
ConsSince it's a night-type product, I guess the amount is supposed to be small, as you have to melt it in your palms before applying.
TipIf you're too lazy for the massage, just apply it like I did. Haha You'll be satisfied, saying, 'The cream is great!' In the winter, I think it would be even better to apply this on top of a moisturizing cream and then do the massage. I'll try that again~ A small amount can cover the entire face.
