Application and Texture
Formulation: The cream has a medium consistency - not too thick, yet not runny.
Application: It spreads like whipped cream, feeling incredibly soft and moisturizing. It glides on the skin effortlessly. A little goes a long way, making it convenient to use.

It boasts quick absorption and doesn't leave a sticky residue after application, which is great.
It maintains a lightweight feel on the skin.

The cream is surprisingly rich in hydration, keeping the skin moisturized.

The tube packaging allows for clean and hygienic use, dispensing just the right amount.

Effects
While it claims to help with blemishes, pores, and skin texture improvement, after 3 weeks of use, I'm not sure about the blemishes, but my complexion does seem slightly clearer.

잡티케어 토닝 크림

I really enjoyed using this before applying makeup.
Especially in weather like this where skin can easily become irritated, it helps calm blemishes and soothes the skin.
Highly recommended!

Areas for improvement

@ The only slight drawback is that if you have very oily skin, it might feel a bit greasy. So it's crucial to control the amount you use.

I used it generously before applying makeup. If you take a small amount in your hand, adjust the quantity, and let it absorb into your face, it calms the skin and creates a nice base for makeup!
Of course, I also used it well in my evening routine.

To be honest, there wasn't anything particularly disappointing. It seems like a product that can be used comfortably without any issues.

Positive points!

@ Texture
First off, think of this product's texture as similar to a regular moisturizer! I've used it for exactly two weeks, and it's great for this transitional season and dry weather we're experiencing.

@ Sensitivity
Since it's beneficial for sensitive skin prone to blemishes and acne, I could use it comfortably. I have acne-prone skin, so I used it consistently. While I can't say all my blemishes disappeared within two weeks, my skin condition definitely improved compared to before. It's more about maintaining good skin rather than dramatic changes.

@ Recommended skin types
It's great for those with sensitive skin. For those with very oily skin, just be mindful of the amount you use. I think it would suit most skin types well!

I'll need to use it a bit more to see improvements in pore elasticity.

After using it for about 10 days, the main change I noticed was a brighter complexion. While it's not a spectacular transformation, I'm satisfied when I look in the mirror. The texture feels light and soft, but the hydration seems to last for a long time. When used before morning makeup, it smooths out the skin texture and gives a sparkling glow. There's hardly any scent, so I think even those with super sensitive skin could use it. As for pore elasticity, I'll update my review after using it a bit longer.

While it works well under makeup, those with very oily skin should use it in moderation.

I was worried about the pores on my T-zone, but this product not only evens my skin tone but also makes my pores feel tighter and my skin texture smoother. I'm really impressed! Apparently, it's known for its excellent pore-filling effect and reducing pore size. Sometimes after washing my face or on particularly dry days, even basic skincare products can make my skin feel itchy, but I didn't experience any of that with this. The volume isn't particularly generous, so I wanted to use it sparingly, but I've been applying it diligently morning and evening to see faster results.

While there wasn't actual pilling, after it fully absorbs, touching my skin gave me the impression it might pill. So I mainly used it in the evenings. Also, while it provides good hydration, I felt it lacked a bit in terms of richness. For winter, I think I'd need to layer another cream on top.

The texture is like a mix between an essence and cream - quite fluid. I loved how you can really feel the hydration when you roll it on. It feels moisturizing when applied, but finishes with a silky touch without any residue, making it great even for summer use. I haven't used it long enough to comment on its toning effects, but I appreciated its gentle feel on the skin.

Try applying it after your toner and serum in your morning routine.

If there's one slight drawback, it might be the small quantity. Also, it may not provide quite enough hydration for the dead of winter. But then again, that's not the main focus of this product...

First off, this is a cream I use during winter and spring! I was in an extremely dry environment, so I desperately wanted a cream that provides good hydration. Also, since I had some acne and was left with some marks, I was intrigued by its brightening properties. The texture itself is great - not too thick, not too runny. It seems to adhere well to the skin! I recommend applying it in the morning rather than evening. The packaging, with its white and green color scheme, is quite attractive. I'll need to use it a bit longer to fully assess its brightening effects. If you're looking for a texture that's neither too heavy nor too light, I highly recommend this!

As mentioned earlier, this cream is best suited for oily skin types during winter. While it's not overwhelmingly rich, it might feel a bit heavy for some users.

This cream is fantastic for hydration, soothing, and improving the skin barrier. However, those with oily skin might find it a bit rich.

Texture: It has a typical moisturizer consistency but feels slightly heavier.

Application: It spreads easily like most moisturizers. While the richness felt a bit heavy on my oily skin, it should be perfect for those with dry skin.

Effectiveness: Despite its name suggesting blemish control, I didn't notice significant effects in that area. However, I did experience smoother skin texture.

Why I recommend it: It's excellent for those with dry or sensitive skin, especially during seasonal changes when your skin barrier needs extra care. When applied at night after other skincare steps, it helps lock in the benefits of your routine and reduces overall redness. It's a great addition to your evening skincare!

I didn't have any disappointing experiences with this product. My only regret is the short testing period for The Hwahae Testers.

During winter, I frequently use heaters which worsens my redness and makes my complexion look dull. To even out my skin tone, I diligently applied this cream. The texture is great - not too rich, yet not as light as a hydrating moisturizer, which I found perfect. Due to its lower oil content, it's less sticky, making it ideal for my nighttime routine. I could comfortably lie down after application without any issues, so I reached for it often. The formula absorbs well without irritation, making it suitable for combination dehydrated skin and combination skin types. I wish I had more time to use it before writing this review, but the Hwahae Testers deadline approached quickly. I plan to use this product during dry or sensitive periods, and I'm incorporating it as an essential step in my skincare routine due to its brightening effects. Hope this product becomes a bestseller!

Overall, this cream is suitable for sensitive skin that needs hydration and nourishment, but those expecting pore management or blackhead improvement might need additional skincare products.

Cons:
- I find the price to be somewhat on the higher side.
- While I could feel the basic hydration and nourishment, I didn't notice any significant improvement in blackheads or pore tightening during the two weeks of use.
- Long-term use might show results, but in the short term, I didn't experience any special changes beyond hydration and nourishment.

I have thin and sensitive skin. After using this product for two weeks, I noticed the following pros and cons:

Pros:
- No strong fragrance, making it comfortable to use.
- Light texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without feeling sticky.
- Convenient tube packaging, easy to carry when traveling. Additionally, the package design is simple yet sophisticated, with a soft and luxurious feel that makes me reach for it often.
- Suitable for sensitive skin, I was able to use it without any blemishes.

When your skin needs hydration or feels heated, applying a thick layer can help soothe and calm it down.

The container's lid isn't the easiest to open and close. The only other downside is that the small size means it might run out quickly.

I've been using this product consistently for about two weeks, both morning and night.

Absorption and Application:
This cream is packed with hydration and applies smoothly, leaving the skin feeling soft and moist. It absorbs well without sitting on top of the skin. Even when applied generously, there's no pilling, and makeup goes on smoothly over it.

Moisturization and Feel:
It provides instant hydration, balances oil and moisture well, and doesn't feel heavy. It's great for use before makeup in the morning or during nighttime skincare routines.

Blemish Care:
While the effects aren't dramatic, it noticeably reduces redness. I'm hoping for continued improvement with consistent use on my blemishes.

Recommended Skin Types:
With its non-irritating, deeply hydrating formula that isn't heavy, this product seems suitable for anyone needing extra moisture in their skincare routine.

Make sure to use sufficiently hydrating ampoules or base products in your previous skincare steps.

<Drawbacks>
The volume is only 50ml, similar to essences or ampoules. The contents are separated and need to be shaken before use, making a sloshing sound like water (it might be better if it came in an ampoule bottle rather than as a cream). Although the product description claims it's moisturizing, it's fair to say it isn't. The skin feels even drier than after using toner, causing dead skin cells to become visible. The functional effects aren't very noticeable (no dramatic results).

<Overall>
It's a good product for those who prefer a lightweight application.

<Texture>
The texture is thin like an emulsion, making it light and easy to apply. It absorbs quickly into the skin.

<Features>
It seems to be a functional product for brightening and anti-wrinkle effects, rather than a hydrating or moisturizing cream. It feels more like an essence than a cream.

<Skin Type>
This product might be suitable for oily skin types. For combination or dry skin, it may lack sufficient moisturizing power. When applied to the skin, it absorbs quickly, leaving a dry feeling that can emphasize dead skin cells.
