It doesn't feel slippery and applies thinly while adhering well to the skin. It's quite moisturizing, but its staying power seems to be a strong point. The texture isn't complicated, and it should apply well even with fingers. Despite its vanilla color, it effectively conceals yellow undertones. It applies smoothly without settling into fine lines. There's no patchiness, and even as time passes, it wears beautifully.
ConsLayering doesn't build up coverage. While it masks yellow undertones well, it's less effective at concealing redness. There's no settling, but it doesn't really cover pores. It doesn't seem like it was primarily designed for coverage.

ConsThere's still a slight yellow tinge, so I think it might work better mixed with other products. I believe this would be perfect if you find the right shade for your complexion!

Thumbs up for the easy-to-carry container with good quantity control. The shade is brighter than what I usually use. I tried it without high expectations, as it's my preferred serum-style foundation. True to its name, it has impressive adherence that doesn't look cakey, and applies with a moisturizing texture. It's neither too oily nor too thin, giving just the right subtle glow for a natural finish. In the photo, you can see the subtle shine on the back of my hand where it's applied. What really surprised me was that unlike most base makeup products of this type that tend to transfer easily, this one barely transfers at all - I'm in love! I've been using it daily for almost a week since receiving it. No darkening, pilling, or caking occurred, and it held up well even in the sweltering heat with decent longevity and minimal breakdown. So far, no major blemishes have appeared. The color is less pale than other brands' shade #1, making it less daunting to use. If you don't have significant blemishes, this alone might suffice. Personally, I enjoy mixing and matching base products and concealers for my skin makeup. When I mixed it half-and-half with a drier foundation, the result was much better. I rarely give 5 stars, but this product absolutely deserves it.
ConsThere's nothing particularly negative to say. I'm just grateful for such product efficacy with these ingredients. If I had to pick something, maybe the coverage isn't super strong? But the other benefits more than make up for it.
TipI found that applying it with your fingers really brings out the beautiful texture of the formula. If you don't have many blemishes to cover and prefer using just one product for your base, I recommend applying it with your fingers, a cushion puff, or a spatula!

Key features: 1. The texture varies greatly depending on how much you apply. If you use a little, it's truly a serum texture, but if you apply more, it becomes slightly richer. 2. It gives a glow. While it doesn't last incredibly long, it gives an amazing glow for about an hour after application, then gradually fades. 3. Natural skin tone evening. It evens out my complexion just perfectly, which I really loved. 4. Minimal pilling and sliding. Even though my skin wasn't in great condition, there was hardly any pilling around the nose or emphasis on dead skin cells. 5. It has a scent. Rather than an artificial cosmetic fragrance, it's more like a floral perfume? It also reminds me of hand cream scent. The scent is noticeable when first applied but disappears quickly, and it's pleasant enough that you probably won't mind it much. Overall, it seems like a decent, reliable product.
ConsFirst off, it has absolutely zero coverage. It's more like a base to use before applying cushion foundation, or it might be good for those with already nice skin to use lightly. The staying power is a bit weak. After about 4 hours, it's barely noticeable that you applied anything, so you need to reapply periodically.

Hydrating Lives up to its reputation as a moisture-rich foundation I usually apply foundation with a spatula first, then pat with a puff. I did the same with this product, but felt the coverage was light, so I added another layer which gave a natural finish. Unlike other foundations that can look flaky when my skin's a bit dry, this one stays smooth. That's its biggest advantage. Will be super useful in winter. 2. Convenient application The tube packaging allows for clean and easy use 3. Standard consistency Neither too runny nor too thick 4. Natural coverage As I've gotten older, I've stopped chasing that 'porcelain skin' look (it's not achievable anyway). Heavy makeup tends to age me and make my skin look messy. This foundation makes my skin look slightly better than usual, which I love. I used to hate how thick makeup would clog my pores and emphasize dead skin cells, but this product seems perfect for me.
Cons1. Coverage isn't high - But honestly, it's not a drawback for me as it provides a natural cover 2. Feels like there's not much product in the tube
TipI recommend applying two thin layers for best results!

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 thing about this product is its tube format with a small opening, making it easy to control the amount dispensed. 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.

The scent is pleasantly reminiscent of an emulsion rather than typical foundation fragrances. It strikes the perfect balance between hydration and a matte finish, making it ideal for all seasons except winter!
ConsA thorough skincare routine is essential before application to ensure a hydrated base. There's a slight possibility of pilling, so be aware.

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.ProsThe texture is great for smooth application. It spreads thinly with an emulsion-like feel when applied by hand, leaving the skin feeling moisturized. It provides natural coverage and evens skin tone, making the complexion look more polished. The finish isn't too shiny, but leaves the skin looking slightly dewy. Although it's not a matte foundation, it worked well even for combination skin that tends to get oily in the T-zone. I appreciated that it didn't become excessively greasy or slide off as the day progressed, unlike some oil-heavy products. True to its moisturizing application, it seemed to maintain skin hydration, keeping the makeup in place without drying out or becoming overly shiny.
ConsWhile it is a foundation, the coverage isn't extremely high. If you want to conceal blemishes more thoroughly, you might find it helpful to use additional products like concealer or powder.
TipThe product comes in a tube that can stand upside down, which should help you use every last bit. The tube format also makes it easy to control the amount you use, which I found convenient.

The pointed tube packaging makes it convenient to apply directly on the face. Despite being a foundation, it feels lightweight on the skin without any heaviness. There's no pilling or clumping, and it adheres well to the skin. It seems resistant to sweat and water. It naturally evens out the skin tone while providing some coverage for blemishes and pores. The vanilla shade works well for yellow-toned skin. On overcast days, I found it perfect to wear over sunscreen for a light makeup look.
ConsApart from the slightly lower coverage, there aren't really any significant drawbacks to mention.
TipFor a light makeup look, try applying this foundation over a brightening moisturizer with SPF, then use concealer for areas that need extra coverage. Remember to cleanse thoroughly to ensure all makeup is removed at the end of the day.

This product blends seamlessly with my skin tone, evening out my complexion naturally. I've found a great match! The color suits me well, it applies smoothly and blends easily. It naturally covers redness and has decent staying power. I'd recommend this to people with slightly tanned skin.
ConsThere's nothing I dislike about it. If anything, I just wish the volume was larger.
TipI recommend this for complexion evening to those who aren't too fair-skinned and have some redness around the nose area.
