Quickly sinks in without feeling heavy on the skin.
ConsSkin feels tight and dry after 30 minutes. At first, I didn't notice, but the more I used it, small bumps and folliculitis gradually appeared. By the third day, red spots started forming on various parts of my face, along with painful, non-pustular blemishes. The jar packaging is inconvenient, and the narrow opening makes it difficult to scoop out the product.
TipDon't buy it.

Characteristics: - Subtle baby powder scent: While using, I noticed a faint but distinct cosmetic baby powder fragrance. - Lightweight texture, quick absorption: As shown in the photo, it has a light texture that's half gel, half moisturizer. Due to its lightweight nature, I felt it absorbed into the skin quickly. While it didn't make my dry skin feel completely moisturized on its own, I could definitely sense some hydration being replenished. - Clean feel without much stickiness: I appreciated that there was minimal stickiness after application. Some products can be so sticky that you need to wait before applying the next product, but with this one, I could move on to the next step in my routine fairly quickly. Advantages: - True to its role as a soothing cream: Overall, I think this is a solid product that fulfills its purpose as a soothing cream. The benefit of a soothing cream is that it evaporates more slowly than a soothing gel, but has less oil than a regular cream - and this product hits that sweet spot. It provides hydration without any heaviness, making it a good recommendation for those looking for a decent soothing cream. - Gentle ingredients: Perhaps due to the lack of any cautionary ingredients according to Hwahae standards, my skin condition was good during the approximately two weeks of use. Some products can sting when applied, but this one didn't cause any discomfort at all, which was great.
ConsDrawbacks: - No spatula included: The lack of a spatula is a downside. I used a silicone spatula I bought from Coupang. You can purchase spatulas cheaply from Coupang or Daiso, which I recommend for those concerned about hygiene. - Whitening effect...?: After writing this review, I noticed the product information claims whitening and anti-wrinkle effects. Perhaps due to the short usage period, I found it difficult to notice any whitening effects. I'll update this when I've finished the product. - Expensive regular price: If the 36% discounted price is 25,900 won, the regular price seems a bit high for a soothing cream...
TipPro Tip: This product alone might not be enough to fully hydrate your skin! It could be perfect for those who find serums too light and creams too heavy - try using it between your serum and cream steps.

I really dislike sticky products on my face, but this one is light and hydrating. It absorbs quickly, making it great for oily and normal skin types. However, those with very dry skin might find it a bit lacking in moisture. *It comes with a protective cap inside, ensuring hygienic storage. *The application is fantastic! The texture is slightly fluffy yet runny, making it easy to spread. *As I'm getting older, I'm concerned about wrinkles, so I've been looking for anti-aging products. I love that this has both whitening and anti-wrinkle functions. It's too early to tell the effects though. *I love that it's fragrance-free! I'm really sensitive to smells, so this is perfect. *I was worried about breakouts due to my sensitive skin, but I didn't experience any blemishes at all! *I was surprised by how non-suffocating it felt despite containing dimethicone. They seem to have balanced the ingredients well!
Cons*The texture is lighter than expected. I have combination skin with slightly dry cheeks, and this cream feels a bit light there. Those with very dry or combination dehydrated skin might need to layer it with essences, ampoules, or moisturizers for extra hydration. *After application, there's a slight slippery, smooth feeling - like a film on the skin. I think it's due to the dimethicone in the ingredients. I'm not a fan of this ingredient, but for a product containing it, it's surprisingly not very slippery! However, if you dislike this ingredient, you might want to avoid this product.
TipStoring it in the fridge could make for an even more refreshing application.

For years, I couldn't use light creams because they felt like they evaporated, leaving my skin extremely dry. I'd resigned myself to using thick creams or emulsions for the past 4 years. But as summers get hotter, even those felt too heavy. That's when I discovered this algae cream. The texture is wonderfully hydrating yet lightweight, perfect for summer. It reminds me of a superior version of that famous red soothing cream. If your budget allows, I highly recommend trying it. When I applied it, I immediately thought, 'This won't cause any blemishes.' It feels so gentle and light on the skin. On days when I need extra calming, there's even a slight cooling effect. It's so reliable, like the star defender of soothing creams. My unpredictable skin keeps reaching for it. No matter how much sunscreen or makeup I layer on top, this cream seems to say, 'I'm ready, bring it on!' It's truly dependable. Unlike other soothing creams I've tried that disappear quickly and don't help with dryness even with constant misting, this one strikes the perfect balance. It's neither heavy nor too light, creating a thin, comfortable layer on the skin - like a gentle mist settling on my face. I think I could use this all summer without any issues. I plan to stick with it for the rest of the season - partly because I have nothing else, but mostly because I really want to repurchase it! The best part? Even though I prefer to slather on my nighttime skincare products generously (except toner), I often woke up with an oily face before. But with this cream, no matter how much I apply or layer with serums, my skin feels fresh and matte in the morning. I didn't even want to wash my face! And no blemishes appeared either. (For context, I was nearing my period, my skin was already acting up, and I wasn't taking care of my health - probably the worst condition possible, prone to breakouts.) There's no itchiness at night, and my face feels light. I really hope this cream continues to be this amazing... I'd hate for all this praise to be in vain!
ConsThere are no downsides. This product is simply great, with nothing but advantages.

As someone with naturally warm skin, this product is great at reducing heat. Unlike aloe gel that evaporates quickly, this keeps moisture locked in for longer. After applying in the morning and letting it absorb, you can apply makeup without any heaviness or pilling. It's like the hydration is perfectly tailored to your skin. It's incredibly lightweight, yet the hydration lasts, which is fantastic! There's no fragrance, so it's not overwhelming, and I can feel my skin becoming much more comfortable while using it. Rather than a dramatic improvement, it's more like my skin has become healthier overall.
ConsI didn't have any particular issues with using the product. However, the sticker on the packaging I received wasn't applied evenly, so a bit more attention to that would be nice. It's a great product, but the packaging feels a bit cheap. I became aware that it's a sticker on the container, not printed directly, which was noticeable.
TipThe refreshing moisturizing effect makes it great to use before and after a mask!

It's suitable for summer when skin tends to be oilier. ★ Texture A water-like consistency with a noticeable hydrating effect. Provides instant moisture upon application. ★ Absorption Absorbs quickly. It's a lightweight cream that doesn't require layering - you can apply a generous amount without it feeling heavy. ★ Blemishes None whatsoever. Even for those with oily skin, it doesn't clog pores, so you can apply liberally without issues. ★ Wrinkle reduction A week wasn't enough to notice significant changes, and environmental factors play a role. However, this product has proven its efficacy through human clinical trials, which adds to its credibility. Personally, I prefer products that have undergone such trials, often seen in cosmetics from pharmaceutical companies. This testing provides tangible evidence to build consumer trust. ★ Moisture retention When used alone - Noticeable hydration for about 5 hours (indoors) When used with mineral sunscreen - About 3 hours (outdoors) ★ Repurchase intention Compared to the D0cto Soothing Cream, I believe this product has better ingredients. I'm 100% going to repurchase!
ConsThis product is suitable for everyday use in summer, a season when people frequently apply sunscreen. More people nowadays apply sunscreen before going out. Therefore, it's worth considering how this product pairs with sunscreen. While the product quality is important, it would be great if it could provide a noticeable improvement in user experience when combined with other products that consumers typically use externally.
TipFirst tip: Keep it in the refrigerator for use. Second tip: For hydrating products, applying a generous amount at once rather than thin layers can enhance the moisturizing effect.

Texture and Application: It's a lightweight, soothing cream with a water-gel texture. Due to its formulation, it absorbs well and quickly, leaving a subtle hydrated glow. As someone with combination-oily skin, I found it pleasantly lightweight and suitable, making for a satisfying application experience. 2. Hydration and Moisturizing: Being a soothing cream, it's rich in hydration with minimal oiliness. I noticed it kept my skin from feeling dry and maintained moisture for over half a day. It's likely to suit those seeking primarily hydration with adequate moisturizing power. 3. Ingredients and Effects: The cream is primarily composed of hydrating and moisturizing ingredients, with added functional components for brightening and anti-aging. Personally, I found it effective in calming my skin when it felt heated during summer weather.
ConsDue to its texture, it's somewhat seasonal - I'd recommend it more for spring and summer rather than fall and winter.

The glass packaging makes it feel quite substantial. It's called a seaweed cream because it contains ingredients like ecklonia cava, hizikia fusiforme, and sargassum. Looking at the ingredient list, I noticed it's packed with many natural extracts. This made me hopeful that even those with super sensitive skin could use it without worry. While it's marketed as a soothing cream, which often implies a cool, summer-friendly product, it's not exactly that. It's more of a soothing cream with a slightly rich feel to it. As the product page suggests, storing it cool and applying it chilled can enhance the soothing effect, so I'll try that! One jar of this soothing cream should be enough to get you through the summer with ease!
ConsI appreciated that the product doesn't have an overpowering cosmetic scent. It's just an average soothing cream. I was a bit disappointed that it didn't dramatically boost my skin's hydration or produce any remarkable changes. As someone with dry and sensitive skin, I always pay close attention to whether products irritate my skin or leave it feeling dry. Unfortunately, my skin did feel a bit dry after using this.
TipTry applying it over a hydrating serum!

As a soothing cream, once absorbed, it leaves the skin feeling hydrated without being sticky. Perfect as a finishing cream before makeup on hot days! I appreciated that it's fragrance-free. Ingredients and Effects: As a Hwahae Tester, I've only used it for a few days, so I can't comment on the brightening effects yet... That will take longer to assess. No blemishes appeared, and the gentle ingredients make it suitable even for sensitive skin, which I like. It feels like a reliable soothing cream that addresses deep dryness without any fuss.
ConsPackaging: Not being in a tube makes me a bit concerned about hygiene! The container is heavy, and while there's an inner cap, there's no spatula included, so you have to scoop it out with your fingers... While the packaging fits the image of a seaweed cream or soothing cream, it's inconvenient to use!
