It absorbs well and has a nice texture.
ConsIt tends to break down easily. The small amount makes it difficult to achieve full coverage.

It's perfect for those who prefer a natural, 'no-makeup' makeup look! There's no issue with blemishes, and its light texture makes it comfortable to wear without any worry.
ConsThe moisturizing formula tends to break down easily in summer, so it might be better suited for the dry autumn and winter months. Also, despite being a foundation, the coverage is disappointingly low.

The shade 21 is perfect, and while I prefer lighter base colors, I appreciated how natural it looked - not like wearing heavy foundation. As a serum foundation, it has a lightweight texture and absorbs well. It has a semi-matte finish, but over time, I noticed a slight increase in richness (for reference, I have normal to dry skin). In summary, compared to other foundations, its main advantages are being less heavy, absorbing well, and providing good hydration!
ConsOne downside is that it doesn't seem to wear off gracefully. Without touch-ups, my skin looked a bit dull overall. Even though I applied a minimal amount, spreading it thinly, I initially didn't notice, but later felt like my skin makeup was thick and heavy (note: I prefer light coverage and typically use cushion foundations for ease of application). However, when I gave it to my mother to try, she said it wore well on her skin, so it seems to vary depending on skin type. (My mother has very oily skin.)
TipI don't have any additional comments at the moment, but if I do, I'll come back to update this review.

I've had atopic dermatitis since childhood. While it's improved, it still resurfaces on my face and body during seasonal changes. My skin easily develops psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and allergic reactions when it's slightly dry or the oil-moisture balance is off. To top it off, I've been diagnosed with rosacea. As I've aged, my pores have enlarged, and I have small bumps on my forehead and cheeks. Usage period: 1 week Texture/Application: It applies with a moisturizing yet slightly sticky feel. Initially feels hydrating, but after about an hour, it settles to a matte finish on the cheeks. Color: Based on shade 21, it's neither too light nor too dark - just right for my skin tone. If you prefer a brighter look, you might find it a bit dark, but I liked how natural it looked. Scent: It has a typical cosmetic fragrance - the kind you'd expect when you think of skincare products. Longevity: I appreciated that there was no darkening effect. However, the coverage isn't high, so it's best used for evening out the complexion rather than full coverage. Packaging/Price: The squeeze tube packaging is hygienic and allows you to use every last drop. It's easy to control the amount, though the packaging doesn't feel particularly luxurious. Blemishes and other effects: While it didn't cause any blemishes, my skin felt a bit suffocated after some time.
ConsAs mentioned earlier, while there was no darkening, it did tend to break down a bit. Also, due to its low coverage, I honestly wouldn't recommend it to those with significant skin scarring.
TipI'd recommend this to those looking for a product they can apply thinly and moisturizing to refine their skin texture, more suitable for fall and winter rather than summer.

From the first application, I could really feel the moisturizing effect. The absorbs well was also quite good.
ConsI have quite a lot of blemishes on my skin, and because this foundation is so hydrating, it didn't provide great coverage. In summer, the makeup definitely breaks down faster, but it doesn't break down in a messy way!
TipThis foundation doesn't work well with a makeup sponge at all. It's so hydrating that the sponge absorbs it like water. I recommend either using a lot of product on the sponge or applying it with your hands or a spatula instead.

I tried applying it with a spatula on one side and with my hands on the other. It goes on remarkably thin either way, to the point where there's no noticeable difference. It truly feels like a second skin, so your face doesn't feel suffocated. The staying power was impressive on my forehead and nose where my skin is in good condition. It maintained its initial appearance well. In the T-zone, where oil tends to surface, it blended naturally with the sebum without looking messy. However, some shine was unavoidable. On my cheeks, where I applied powder and oil doesn't typically surface, it maintained its initial state without causing any deep dryness. The finish seems to be semi-glow. It's not fully dewy, but not matte either. It might be better suited for slightly drier weather than current conditions. In terms of adherence, it's not an instantly setting product, so you need to give it a moment. However, since the product itself applies thinly and has low coverage, even if it wears off, the difference isn't very noticeable. The coverage is about enough for evening out skin tone. It's not non-existent, but not high either. Though this could be because I applied it very thinly. The range of shades seems quite diverse. If applied thickly, it might look pale, but applied thinly, it matched well with my skin tone (I usually use shade 23) without looking off.
ConsWhile I thought there wasn't much difference in skin condition, I was surprised to see dead skin cells emphasized around my nose, clumping around my mouth, messy breakdown on my chin, and product settling into fine lines around my mouth. I've never experienced such a dramatic breakdown before, so it was quite shocking. On other days when I used it, it wasn't as severe, but it seems you need to exfoliate well before using this product. While there was no deep dryness, you can visibly see that the skin looks dry. If coverage is important to you, you might be disappointed as it applies very thinly.
TipRecommended for those who prioritize thin application over coverage. If it matches well with your skin and base, it maintains a clean finish. Even though my skin condition wasn't much different from usual, the breakdown seemed random, which was disappointing for me as I prioritize a clean, long-lasting finish. While it maintained well on my cheeks and forehead, it seems some other areas didn't agree with my skin. I'll need to test it more.

I discovered this product by chance while watching Chinese videos on Instagram. I was curious about it, and luckily, Hwahae was recruiting testers, so I quickly applied and received it! This serum foundation feels moisturizing while still providing decent coverage. Its hydrating formula applies smoothly! When applied, it has a fluid consistency that gives a subtle shimmer effect. I loved the scent - it's not too strong, with a feminine fragrance. I was worried the vanilla shade might look yellowish, but it actually brightened my complexion. Unless applied thickly, to my eyes it appeared as a beige with a very slight pink undertone. When I applied two layers, there was a tiny hint of yellow...? In the 2nd and 3rd photos, I applied the product only to the left side of one hand. Unfortunately, it's hard to see in the photos...
ConsThis might work well for those with dry skin, but for oily skin types, it could look shiny and break down easily. I'd recommend using it in winter rather than summer. In hot weather, it seems like the T-zone would quickly deteriorate with just a bit of sweat. In trying to balance moisture and coverage, it feels a bit thick. And like most dewy foundations, it's prone to transfer. The ingredients are disappointing. There are some potential allergens, which might cause blemishes for those with sensitive skin. With so many good dewy foundations and cushions already on the market, I couldn't find a compelling reason to choose this product specifically.
TipThis seems better suited for those with very dry skin rather than oily, and it's best used in winter! (Even those with slightly dry skin might find it too moist.) It's likely to wear off quickly in the current weather. You'll need to set it with powder! Also, try to avoid touching your face as much as possible...
