It is lightweight but manages dryness, so the base applies moisturized and does not slide off. It layers lightly and has a glowing finish. It has the perfect formulation and spreadability for good makeup application (the last photo is the skin after makeup). ● Absorption The formulation is not too hard or extremely watery, so I used it as a toner and serum step. It has a spreadable texture that seems to coat the skin. As described, it lowers the skin temperature by -7.7°, providing a cooling effect, and the absorption was good. ● Fragrance There is no distinct fragrance, so there are no strong likes or dislikes regarding the scent. The tube packaging is lightweight and hygienic. ● Ingredients - Mung bean (cool property) and peptide (firming) combination: mung bean peptide - RED-CLEAR (pore soothing/redness calming) - Adenosine (pore elasticity) - Niacinamide (pore brightening) - PORE-BLUR (sebum control)
ConsAfter using it for 2 weeks, the pore tightening cream did provide an immediate filtering effect after application, but the results on pore improvement will require more prolonged use to assess.
TipAerobic exercise. After exercising, I was concerned about enlarged pores due to sweating and heat on my face, but since I exercise more than 4 times a week, I used it almost after every workout, and it definitely had the effect of lowering the temperature on my face, so I kept it at the gym and used it. After applying the toner, apply the moisturizer once and then dry your hair. Finally, apply the soothing cream one more time to the dried face for more effective results.

I received this as a good opportunity and decided to try it out. First of all, since it is a soothing cream, the texture has a clear feeling to it. The soothing cream I used before was in a jar form, so I had to scoop it out with a spatula, which was a bit inconvenient. But this one has a long nozzle and is in a tube form, so it was easy to use!!! And true to its tightening cream claim, there is a subtle cooling sensation after applying it! It doesn't have an uncomfortable, overly warm feeling, which I liked!!! However, it seems to absorb a bit slowly. I think those with beauty devices would benefit from using this together. But it didn't stick to my face too much after applying it with my hair tied back. :) The scent is really mild, not overpowering at all, and it's not an artificial fragrance, which I liked. I've been using it for about a week after receiving it, and while I can't say for sure about the effects yet, it feels less burdensome compared to other cooling products - so I think with consistent use, I'll see good results!! Anyway, I'll make sure to finish this whole tube!
ConsThe capacity seems to be used up quickly 😆 It would be great if a larger capacity version was available! There were no major disappointments, but the absorption was a bit slow. I didn't experience any dramatic effects, but with consistent use, the effects should be noticeable.
TipIt seems that absorption is rather slow, so if you have a beauty device, using it together would be great! Also, don't apply a large amount at once, but rather layer it in smaller portions multiple times - this should help with better absorption!!!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI tried the Hwahae Trial Reviewers for 2 weeks. My skin type is oily, especially in the T-zone area, with a lot of sebum and large pores. 💚Texture It's a soft cream type. It applies smoothly and has a cooling sensation right after application, so it's really good as a summer cream. It finishes off feeling fresh without any heavy or sticky feeling, so it can be used comfortably even for oily skin! 💚Fragrance There's no special fragrance, so it should be suitable for those sensitive to scents. 💚Packaging The tube-type packaging with a narrow opening is good for hygienic use. It's easy to dispense and adjust the amount, so the usage experience is clean. 💚Effectiveness The pore care effect, which I was most looking forward to, honestly didn't show a big change yet after 2 weeks of use.🥹 However, I didn't experience any breakouts while using it, and there's a slight cooling sensation when applied, so it should be great for summer. It finishes off feeling fresh without any stickiness, so it's likely to be perfect for those who dislike heavy creams! The pore area still seems to need more time, so I'll keep using it consistently and try adding a serum as well! The price is also reasonable, and the first impression is quite good, so I think it's worth trying for those with oily, porous skin, especially in the summer.😆
ConsThe pore improvement effect is not immediately noticeable, which is disappointing. It's only been 2 weeks, so I hope the effects will be seen with consistent use. Some may feel a lack of moisture. It's light and refreshing for oily skin, but those with dry skin may find it a bit drying.

This review was written by a Hwahae Trial Reviewer who received the product for free and evaluated it with a sense of representing Hwahae. The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsHere is the English translation of the Korean text: First, I have acne-prone and combination skin that is very sensitive to seasonal and environmental changes, so in the summer my skin is oily, and in the winter it's more dry. 1. Packaging The tube packaging is convenient as there are no hygiene concerns like with jar containers! I also don't need to use a spatula every time, and the amount I dispense is easy to control, which I like. 2. Fragrance The fragrance is not very strong, but it's not completely unscented either. If you bring it close to your nose, you can faintly detect a minty-like scent. However, you really have to stick your nose in to notice it, and once applied to the face, the fragrance is barely perceptible. 3. Texture and Application The texture is similar to a regular moisturizer. When dispensed directly onto the face, it doesn't run or feel too thick, maintaining a nice, spreadable consistency. There is a slight cooling sensation when applied, though I'm not sure if it's a placebo effect or if it actually lowers skin temperature. It absorbs well without feeling greasy or heavy, making it good to use before makeup to help cool down the skin and provide hydration. However, for dry skin, using it alone may not provide enough moisture, so I like to layer it with a richer cream or face oil. 4. Effectiveness The product page claims it has cooling/soothing and plumping/pore-refining effects. I did experience the cooling/soothing benefits, but didn't notice significant improvements in plumpness or pores. While the cooling effect may help reduce skin irritation over time, it didn't seem to visibly improve my skin's texture and pores as much as more potent, active ingredients like retinol. Additionally, I've been dealing with a sudden breakout, and even with multiple toner layers and using this product, I didn't see much improvement. It doesn't seem to have a particularly positive or negative effect on my acne. 5. OverallThis is a good, cooling moisturizer for those with a lot of facial heat. It provides a nice cooling effect and can be used as a basic skincare step or as a makeup base without any issues.
ConsFor those who even feel a slight cooling sensation as an irritant, it is not recommended!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSkin type: oily, with many bumps and ridges Soothing, cooling sensation It has a soothing cream-like feel and is very hydrating, so there is a refreshing sensation when applied. After taking a warm shower, applying it as the final step in the skincare routine visibly calms any redness. Spreadability Initially, the application on the skin felt great. It's not sticky at all, glides on smoothly, and absorbs cleanly without any residue. With its hydrating, soothing cream-like texture, it feels cool and pleasant to apply. Absorption The absorption is also very quick. It gets absorbed rapidly, making it great to apply lightly before makeup. Since it's summer, it would be ideal to do a light skincare routine before makeup.
ConsThe pore minimizing effect advertised on the product was not actually experienced. However, there was a cooling sensation, so prolonged use may yield results. The product initially felt fine, but over time, an oily feeling increased. It has a similar feel to the well-known moisturizing cream, but is lighter. However, the oily sensation later causes slight itchiness, so I will likely use this product more in the evenings than in the mornings.

Skin type 🩷 Combination/Acne-prone/Sensitive skin with redness 🧡 Used twice a day, morning and evening, for about 2 weeks 1. Texture/Fragrance 🩷 Soft, spreadable moisturizing cream texture 🩷 Fragrance-free 2. Pore improvement 🩷 Somewhat effective on the T-zone pores, but minimal effect on larger pores on the nose 3. Irritation/Cooling/Moisture&Oil 🩷 Felt a significant cooling sensation on thinner skin areas like the eye contour, lips, and philtrum, but not to the point of irritation. The cooling effect dissipated quickly. 🩷 More moisturizing than oily. When used after toner, there was no significant dryness, and it is recommended for oily and combination skin types.
ConsSensitive skin may find the cooling sensation to be irritating. Dry skin may feel dryness when using the cream alone.
TipThe cooling stick would likely be a good companion to use.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsHere is the review of the Hwahae Trial Reviewers. My skin type is oily, with quickly accumulating sebum, large pores, and concerns about dead skin. I'm especially troubled by blackheads on my T-zone! 🎀Texture: It has the texture you'd expect from a moisturizer - lightweight, refreshing, and easily absorbed. When applied, there's a cooling, soothing sensation, and layering it over an ampoule helps it absorb even better. 🎀Packaging: It comes in a tube, which is neat and easy to use. The amount can be well-controlled, and it's hygienic to use. The tube's elongated nozzle makes it satisfying to dispense. 🎀Fragrance: It's completely fragrance-free! Perfect for skincare. 🎀Pros: The cooling sensation when applied and the fragrance-free, well-designed packaging are the highlights. I can't really think of any downsides to this product.
ConsThere is no such thing! The biggest downside is that I'm not sure if it has any noticeable effects on pores or soothing the skin...?

Fragrance Almost no fragrance! It seems that even those sensitive to fragrance can use it without irritation. 2. Pore effect (Cooling) As you can see, I have quite open pores. Since the usage period was only 10 days, I didn't see a significant effect... 😢 However, the cooling effect is amazing! It immediately feels refreshing, and if used consistently, the pores will likely shrink quickly. (By the way, I took before and after photos, but in the after photo, I was under a spell, so my skin looks a bit messier - please understand) 3. Packaging It's in a tube packaging, which was very convenient to use. The amount that comes out is just right. 4. Texture The texture is between a gel and a cream, so it can be used lightly without burden even in the summer. Above all, the cooling sensation was so appealing to me that I'm considering purchasing it! It seems like it will be especially great in the summer 💭
ConsDespite the windy and chilly weather, as someone with dry skin, I found that this cream alone may be a bit drying. Therefore, I always applied a slightly more moisturizing cream after using this pore cream. Aside from that, I didn't notice any major issues.
TipI used it with Hwahae, and after using Hwahae, when I applied the pore cream, it seemed to penetrate the skin more deeply. And when you apply the cream, if you pat it with your hands, you can feel it being absorbed more firmly! I recommend that those who experience a lot of dryness apply a moisturizing cream after using this pore cream. 😳

However, it seems more suitable for dry skin types rather than oily skin.
ConsI did not feel a cooling sensation. When I first applied the makeup, the base definitely blended well, but after a while, I could see the T-zone starting to break down. I'm usually confident that my makeup doesn't budge, but that part was disappointing.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAfter receiving the product, I've been applying it consistently morning and evening. 🩵 Texture - Even though it's a pore-related product, the texture is very smooth. It's almost similar to the Dr. G moisturizer in texture, so it's not burdensome and doesn't feel heavy when applied before makeup. 🩵 Effectiveness - Checking the before and after photos, it seems to have been effective on the butterfly zone pores. It's currently the seasonal change and getting hotter, so normally my pores would be more prominent, but they're not standing out much, which I think is thanks to this product. - I didn't experience any trouble issues either. 🩵 Other - The scent was barely noticeable, and for a pore-related product, the volume is quite large, so it felt less burdensome in terms of price.
ConsLightness - Since the formulation is rather light, it may be a bit drying to use as a finishing cream, so it's best to use a cream together to complete the skincare routine. Warmth - I saw effects on the pores, but didn't feel a significant effect in reducing the warmth.
