This is a review after using it for a week! I have combination/oily skin😅, and this soothing cream seems to be just right for me at this time. It has a lot of moisture, so it's not cold or stiff, but just the right texture. When you knead it with your hands, it absorbs softly. There's also a moderate cooling sensation. I recommend using it in spring or summer. In fall or winter, it may lack moisturizing power. For dry skin types, I'd recommend adding another soothing cream or a cream that can help lock in moisture. The ingredients are gentle, so even those with sensitive skin can use it. It only has the natural scent of the ingredients, without any added fragrance. Those sensitive to scents should keep this in mind!
ConsIt hasn't been long since I used it, and since I don't have very large pores, I didn't see much of an effect on my pores. I wish it was a bit more soothing and creamy. Sometimes I get breakouts, but lately I've found an amazing product that's kept my skin clear, so I'm not too sure about its effects on breakouts. At least it's a gentle product without any pore-clogging ingredients, so I think it should be fine!
TipYou can also apply these soothing creams multiple times to effectively manage your skin in a cost-effective manner!

There's not much difference from other typical soothing creams! - Fragrance: It has a herbal or ointment-like scent, but it wasn't bothersome at all. I actually liked that it didn't have an artificial fragrance. - Ingredients: Just like the Nokdu line, the ingredients are good, so I could use it with confidence. - Absorption: The absorption is pretty good. It doesn't get completely absorbed right away, but if you pat it in, it gets absorbed quickly. - Usage: As mentioned, there's a slight cooling sensation when applied (about the same as a regular soothing cream). I'm not sure about the effectiveness, but I prefer products without irritation, so it was fine for me. When applied, I felt a lot of moisture, but there was a slight oiliness, and the moisturizing power was a bit weak in comparison. I think it would be good to use in the summer. There was some irritation, but not a lot, so I used it every other day, as using it daily was a bit burdensome.
ConsThere is some disappointment in terms of effectiveness. The most important thing is pores, but I didn't feel the effects during the Hwahae Trial Reviewers period. Also, the moisturizing power is weak, so it will be difficult to use in the winter, and in comparison, there is some oiliness, so it feels a bit ambiguous.

It applies smoothly and is moisturizing. It absorbs quickly, has no stickiness, and is not overly oily, so it's recommended for oily skin in the warmer summer months. It has a slight minty? fragrance, but it's almost fragrance-free, and you barely notice it while using it (for those who prefer fragrance-free). The product image shows a greenish cream, but when squeezed out, it's almost opaque in color. (I am interested in purchasing this product!)
ConsIf I had to choose, I suppose it would be the concentrated spot cream at the cream entrance?
TipThe cooling effect is there, but since it's a soothing cream, I put it in the refrigerator to use it a bit colder.

Especially when used before makeup, the base applies much more cleanly. Refreshing Texture: Not heavy and absorbs lightly, so it can be used without burden even in the summer or on oily skin. Contains Mung Bean Extract: Can expect skin soothing + sebum control effects at the same time, making it suitable for troubled skin. Mild and Non-irritating: Even for sensitive skin, it could be used softly without stinging or redness. Clean Beauty Concept: Made with colorless, fragrance-free, EWG Green-grade ingredients, making it a good choice for those sensitive to ingredients.
ConsImmediate pore reduction is not the case: there is no dramatic effect of pores shrinking immediately after application, and it takes consistent use to see visible results. The moisture level is slightly lacking: the serum alone may not provide enough moisture, so dry skin types may need additional hydration. Price versus quantity: if used daily, the product is consumed quickly, so considering the cost-effectiveness, it may be slightly burdensome.
TipPore-focused care: Gently pat a little more around the nose and cheeks to enhance the pore-covering effect. Layering application: After applying once, let it absorb slightly, then apply an additional layer to the needed areas for a more noticeable firming effect.

Texture and Application The texture is bouncy. It's somewhere between a cream and a gel. It applies lightly and smoothly without feeling heavy, and it absorbs quickly, which I like. 2. Cooling Effect The cooling sensation isn't dramatically intense, but there's a subtle refreshing feeling. It would likely be great to use when your skin feels heated in the summer. 3. Packaging The packaging design is really, really nice. Personally, I strongly prefer tube-type containers, as the creams I've used before that come in jars tend to feel a bit bulky. Finally, I've found a cream that's easy to use and the packaging is also pleasing to me. 4. Pore Care Honestly, I didn't expect dramatic pore-tightening effects in this short period of time. However, it seems like the amount of sebum on my cheeks and nose has decreased slightly. I'll need to use it more to know for sure, but the oil that used to come up in the evenings seems to have reduced, which I'm satisfied with.
ConsOn the first day, since I only applied a small amount, or perhaps because it was a seasonal transition period, it felt a bit tight after a few hours. I usually use sunscreen, and if the moisturizing is a bit lacking, I tend to get a white cast, and this product was a bit like that. However, the next day, by layering it twice in a thin application, the dryness was greatly reduced, so I continue to use it that way (although it's a bit of a hassle... in the height of summer, a single layer should be fine).
TipWhen my skin felt heated, I applied this product and then placed a sheet mask on top, and it felt cool and good.

I had previously used the Beplain Mung Bean series (?) as a cleansing product and was very satisfied at the time, so I had high expectations for the cream as well. First of all, the actual product type is a soothing + cream formula!! It has a refreshing, lightweight, and easily absorbent feel like a soothing product, but with a slight oily film-like finish that makes it feel more like a cream. Soothing formulas can sometimes feel moisturized only when applied and then lose that feeling shortly after, but this product has a subtle occlusive finish that seems to lock in the moisture!! It's not an overly oily or greasy feeling, just a minimal moisture-locking layer, which I liked. I'm the type who dislikes oiliness in skincare, but this worked well for me as a summer night cream!! I've been using it well as a cream to layer over toners or moisture ampoules. The cooling effect wasn't extremely pronounced, though. It didn't have an immediate plumping or "cooling" sensation like some products. Instead, it seemed to just lower the skin's heat level compared to other creams. It helps reduce the heat sensation after showering or the friction heat when applying with the hands. The mild cooling is just right - not too intense, which could be irritating, but enough to be suitable for summer use. As for the pore tightening, I've only been using it for a little over a week, so I haven't seen drastic results yet, but I do feel a tightening, smoothing effect when applying it. It may not shrink pores overnight, but it seems to effectively prevent them from getting larger with continued daily use.
ConsThe formulation seems to have a slight oily feel for the oily-skinned, and may feel dry for the dry-skinned. It has a slightly more occlusive feel compared to a light soothing cream. However, as it is a soothing cream formulation, it is still lighter than a typical cream!! It seems suitable for those with oily skin or for summer use. The cooling effect is not extremely dramatic in my personal experience, so those looking for a more pronounced cooling may be disappointed. It may be suitable for those who prefer a mild formulation, but since it is quite mattifying, it may not work for some.
TipThose who want to enjoy the effects of pore tightening or cooling effects will probably not be the best fit for this product. It seems more suitable for those who want to manage their skin daily during the summer. This product is just right for controlling skin heat sensation during skincare and slightly tightening enlarged pores caused by the heat.

While visiting a dermatologist, I was told that my face is prone to heat, so I became very interested in temporarily lowering my skin temperature. The texture is similar to a typical soothing cream - not heavy, slightly opaque when first squeezed out, but absorbs moisture quickly when massaged in. The cooling effect is great. I think it would be ideal to apply it whenever I feel my skin heating up, like on weekends when I don't wear sunscreen. I'd recommend this more for oily skin types. As a true hydrating and soothing cream, it has minimal oil content, so it may be better suited for oily rather than dry skin.
ConsIt was the best for cooling and soothing, but as someone in my early 40s, I felt it was slightly lacking in oiliness. While I need to constantly replenish moisture, the moisture level is excellent, but I have a slight feeling of lacking in oil. There are no blemishes~
TipIn summer, which is cooler than winter, it seems to shine more brightly.. For those in their 40s or older who lack oil, it seems that applying a thin, oil-rich cream after a soothing cream would be sufficient.

It has good spreadability and comfortably settles into the skin, with quick absorption that leaves the skin smooth and supple. I've been using the Biplain Nokdu Ampoule as a cheat code for a long time, and I've been so satisfied that I've repurchased it multiple times! I'm grateful that you've now allowed me to try the Soothing Cream as well. Using the products from the same line together provides a sense of stability. It's especially effective at reducing heat sensation on the face, which will be particularly useful during the hot summer. The Nokdu Pore Tightening Soothing Cream - I've been applying it morning and evening for 2-3 weeks, along with the ampoule. While I didn't notice direct effects on my pores, I felt that my skin texture improved, which I enjoyed. It thoroughly nourishes the skin's resilience and helps reduce facial heat, which I really like. The generous volume and the tube packaging make it easy to use. There are no irritating ingredients, so I can apply it without worrying about breakouts. The quick absorption also makes it suitable for men.
ConsThis Hwahae cream is a perfect fit for dry skin... There were no disappointments.
TipHwahae offers a well-designed set that makes it reasonable to purchase, with a 60ml + 20ml plan (+ 20ml foam).

I have combination skin that has recently become very sensitive, and I have a lot of pores around my nose. I used retinol for my pore concerns and suffered from side effects, but I should have just used this. The formula is like a slightly runny cream. It's a good formula to apply and absorbs well. I barely noticed the scent, and it leaves a Hwahae effect when applied. The tube packaging suitable for the formula is good, and the volume seems quite generous! After using it morning and evening for about a week, there is a clear effect on my pores. I'm not sure if the effect will be maintained even after I stop using it, but there is definitely a visible effect.
ConsWhen applied, there is a cooling sensation? There is a slightly Hwahae-like feeling, and for me, it was quite strong, to the point where it felt burning. Those who find this usage uncomfortable are not recommended!
TipSpicule-containing fillers like Hwahae or botulinum toxin injections seem to have had a better effect on pores when used together. I only used it on the T-zone, but after reading the reviews, it seems like people are using it all over the face.
