The bouncy gel essence formula applies lightly and doesn't leave a sticky residue after absorption. It leaves the skin feeling deeply hydrated with a smooth, refreshed texture.
ConsDepending on the texture of your base moisturizer, it can be challenging to apply evenly and achieve good adherence. This may cause subsequent base makeup to slide or pill.
TipNot recommended for use with highly emollient moisturizers.

The formula doesn't run excessively, which is great. It applies lightly and has a lovely shimmer that lifts my mood even before application.
ConsIt can cause some blemishes. You'll need to pay extra attention to cleansing.
TipSunscreen > Prep > Foundation My makeup stays put nicely and doesn't break down easily.

Smooth and refreshing application When I first dispensed it, the texture felt light yet slightly creamy. It absorbs into the skin like a nourishing toner, adhering smoothly and absorbing quickly. I could move on to the next makeup step without any pilling. 2. Adds hydration to the skin After applying, my skin felt like it was wrapped in a plump layer. Even in dry weather, my skin stayed comfortable without feeling tight. This reduced instances of makeup looking patchy due to dehydration. 3. Subtle enhancement of skin's glow As it layers thinly on the skin, it adds a subtle, not overdone, luminosity. This gives the skin a glossy appearance, and I loved how this glow persisted even after applying foundation or cushion products. 4. Long-lasting makeup base I especially recommend this for those who struggle with makeup longevity or easy makeup breakdown. Using this product, my makeup didn't become patchy and maintained a clean, glossy state for a relatively long time. 5. Gentle ingredients that don't stress the skin As someone with sensitive skin, I always check ingredients on Hwahae before purchasing. This product caused almost no skin irritation after use. I appreciated that I could use it comfortably without blemishes or itching, and it didn't feel heavy on the skin.
ConsBefore using this product, I recommend thoroughly applying toner, ampoule, cream, and sunscreen, then applying only a small amount of this product (I use about a pea-sized amount) in a thin layer. I think it's difficult for this product alone to address dryness and flaking. It's best to think of it as adding a plump barrier after fully hydrating your skin.

Despite its lightweight feel, I was pleasantly surprised by how it smoothed my overall complexion and seemed to minimize the appearance of dead skin cells! ✔️ Scent: It's fragrance-free, making it comfortable for those with scent sensitivities. ✔️ Ingredients: I appreciated that there were no concerning ingredients. Even though I have super sensitive skin and was a bit nervous to try it, I didn't experience any irritation.
ConsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin who doesn't prefer sticky products, I found the light texture nice. However, I wonder if it might feel too lightweight for those with dry skin.
TipPro tip: Apply regular sunscreen before using this base prep, but if you're using a brightening moisturizer with SPF, apply it after!

Positive aspects: • Reduces skin heat. - With an incredibly lightweight texture similar to a hydrating moisturizer, it feels cool and moisturizing when applied, giving the sensation of lowering skin temperature. • Contains subtle shimmer. - The product has a pearlescent finish, creating a more luminous effect when applying makeup. Highly recommended for those who prefer a glowy makeup look. • Ideal for oily skin types. - The lightweight, hydrating cream texture makes it suitable for those with oily skin. • Excellent finish. - While I'm not sure if this is specifically suited to my skin, I personally prefer a slightly tacky finish in my base products rather than an overly powdery or matte one. This product provides that perfect tacky finish, making it ideal for a glowy makeup look.
Cons• Too light for dry skin in winter! - As someone with combination to dry skin, I need slightly heavier products in winter to prevent my makeup from separating. When I used only this product after a light toner, I experienced some dryness and flaking around my nose and mouth area. • Has a noticeable scent! - It has a clean, masculine cologne-like fragrance. While I don't dislike it, it might be uncomfortable for those who aren't fond of masculine scents.
TipBecause this product contains shimmer, instead of applying it before sunscreen, I mixed it with my sunscreen and then applied foundation. This resulted in an even more glossy and beautiful skin appearance! • If you prefer glowy skin, I recommend using this right before foundation, after your sunscreen! • For those with dry skin, it's best to use an emulsion or a more hydrating product before applying this one!

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.ProsAs a first-time user of makeup base, I'm pleasantly surprised by how good this is. ✔️ I love the lightweight serum texture. Unlike other reviews mentioning pilling, I didn't experience any issues. I usually avoid cream-based products due to their rich appearance, but this one feels hydrating without being heavy. ✔️ The Inner Glow effect is truly amazing. I have combination dehydrated skin and I'm very sensitive to excess oil. I always use powder, even in winter, but heaters can still make my skin oily. I used to avoid layering and base makeup, but this product changed my perception of Inner Glow. Now I understand why people rave about it. I used to think glow only came from oil, but this S.Nature makeup base proved me wrong. If you're hesitant like I was, give it a try. It's different, for real. ✔️ It keeps makeup in place well. This makeup base delivers on its fundamental purpose perfectly for me. There's a noticeable difference before and after application, with no need for touch-ups. I experienced no breakdown or caking.
ConsThe only downside I can think of is that it might be a bit pricey for a self-purchased item. However, I had no issues with how it felt on my skin or any blemishes.

As someone with super sensitive skin, I usually can't use makeup bases with lots of chemical ingredients (they always cause blemishes or make my skin red and irritated). However, this base boasts incredibly gentle ingredients, which is probably its biggest selling point. For someone like me with sensitive, reactive skin, ingredients are the most important factor when choosing cosmetics, so I was glad to be able to use this without worry. After using it consistently for a few days, I can confirm it doesn't irritate my skin. I highly recommend this to others with sensitive skin who want to try a makeup base.
ConsTo be honest, I didn't notice any dramatic effects like the makeup base making my skin look significantly brighter or helping my makeup last much longer. While my skin does look a bit more polished than before applying the base, the difference isn't striking. Considering this, the price feels a bit high for the results.

I also have thin skin that's prone to blemishes. Application: It absorbs well into the skin with a lightweight feel and no excess oil. After application, there's a subtle inner glow effect. Scent: I appreciate that it doesn't have any strong fragrance. Skin Appearance: When I use this base before foundation or cushion, it creates a dewy finish. In this dry weather, it prevents flakiness and settles any dryness, leaving the skin with a slight glow. Benefits: As a hydrating base product, it's gentle and doesn't cause any blemishes, which I love. It allows me to use base products without any dry, flaky patches, making it great for the current weather. The product itself isn't heavy, so it seems suitable for year-round use! I think I'll continue using this consistently when I do my makeup.
ConsThere's nothing disappointing about the product itself, but I wish it came in a larger size.
TipI use a mineral sunscreen, and I find that applying this product before the sunscreen makes it go on much more smoothly!

Suitable texture It has a texture similar to a hydrating serum A lightweight formula without excessive moisture or oiliness I love that it's not sticky 2. Oil and moisture balance I felt it played a role in adjusting the oil and moisture balance appropriately before applying base makeup, helping makeup adhere better Perhaps because of this, I noticed it refined my skin texture 3. Scent There's hardly any fragrance, and it doesn't smell like typical cosmetics, which is comfortable A product that properly balances oil and moisture before makeup application, allowing makeup to adhere well
ConsIt doesn't give your skin a glowy appearance Rather than focusing on outward appearance, this product works to make your skin feel comfortable from within

When applied to the skin, it feels incredibly lightweight and absorbs well. Initially, there's a slightly elastic feel, but over time it sinks into the skin without any greasiness or stickiness. Moisturizing and hydrating I loved how my skin didn't feel dry after use and the hydration lasted for a long time. Throughout my makeup routine, I didn't experience any dryness or deep dryness at all. It seems like a great product to use even in dry weather or during winter!
ConsAverage longevity In terms of makeup longevity, it felt somewhat ordinary. Rather than feeling like the makeup lasted longer after using this primer, it tended to break down gradually over time, similar to a typical primer. While it's not completely ineffective in terms of longevity, it didn't provide that truly long-lasting effect I was hoping for.
TipI find that a small amount is sufficient. It's best to apply the primer, allow some time for absorption, and then proceed with your makeup routine!
