Before using it, my dry skin was particularly troublesome due to winter, and my skin barrier seemed compromised. Luckily, I won the opportunity to try this product as part of The Hwahae Testers program. I consistently applied this cream as the final step in my evening routine, after my emulsion. While the usage period wasn't long enough for dramatic changes, I felt a gradual improvement. Firstly, it addressed my dryness issues. Even when I applied makeup after using this cream, there was no pilling at all. The product absorbs slowly, leaving a moisturized feeling without any residue. I felt significantly less dryness compared to when I wasn't using it. Secondly, it helped with blemishes. Winter typically leaves my skin very dry and prone to irritation, but within a few days, the redness and blemishes calmed down. I received many compliments on how smooth my skin looked after makeup application. Lastly, regarding brightening effects, I have a slightly yellowish complexion. I didn't realize this product had brightening properties when I started using it. After a few days, I noticed my skin felt smoother with makeup on, and there was a subtle change in my overall complexion. I'll need to use it longer to fully evaluate this aspect. The product is almost fragrance-free, so it's likely to suit most preferences. I'm considering repurchasing to further assess its brightening effects. The photos show my skin on the first and last day of use.
ConsI experienced slight eye irritation, so while it's fine for evening use, I'd recommend avoiding the eye area when applying before makeup.

My skin type: I have thin, severely dry combination dehydrated skin that's sensitive to ingredients and prone to blemishes if I use the wrong products. Texture: It's not creamy like a body cream or rich moisturizer. It has a watery texture with noticeable hydration and applies smoothly. When applied, it feels slightly cool and you can feel the moisture spreading across your face, giving a radiant effect. When I applied a small amount to my hands, it mostly felt hydrating and absorbed quickly. But since my face has been so dry lately, I applied it generously there. This gave a slightly oily feel, making me wonder if I'd applied too much (probably due to its anti-aging properties). Fortunately, it didn't cause any blemishes, so I felt the ingredients were gentle. Effectiveness: As someone with dry skin, I pay extra attention to moisturizing in winter, often using multiple layers. While watery textures are usually too light for winter, the slight richness of this one prevented that overly dry feeling. It might actually be better for fall and winter than summer. I appreciated not having to layer multiple products. My routine was: toner - essence - this cream - (a bit of additional cream if needed) - sunscreen. With other moisturizers, I often need to apply more or use a richer cream as a final step, but this product maintained hydration well enough on its own. It kept my skin looking good and hydrated all day.
ConsDrawbacks: While I'm not usually sensitive to fragrances, this product has a distinct scent that might be polarizing. There's a unique smell when applying, which changes to a slightly unpleasant odor as you pat it in. This made application a bit challenging. Despite the product's quality, the scent might make me reconsider repurchasing. I hope this aspect can be improved. Also, when applied near the eyes, it causes stinging and tearing up. I thought it was just me, but I've seen other reviews mentioning eye irritation as well.
TipIf you apply too much, it doesn't fully absorb and can cause pilling. For makeup application, I found it best to control the amount, let it absorb, and then apply makeup. This prevented any lifting and allowed for a hydrated skin look. I recently switched to using only this product and noticed my skin looked better. When used correctly, it can be beneficial for makeup application.

This cream strikes a perfect balance - neither too light nor too heavy (Those with dry skin might find it a bit light, but layering or using it with a night cream should work well!) ✓ Doesn't increase oiliness: Sometimes when I apply creams before bed, I wake up with excess oil. This cream doesn't cause that greasy feeling in the morning. ✓ Absorbs quickly: It doesn't sit on top of the skin. When patted in, it absorbs rapidly into the skin.
Cons✗ Scent: It has a mild, allergen-free fragrance suitable for sensitive skin, with herbal or medicinal notes. However, those sensitive to scents might have mixed feelings about it. (It's not overpowering, but rather subtle, though it might still bother those with fragrance sensitivities) ✗ Eye irritation: After using the product, I yawned and rubbed my eyes, which caused some stinging. This could be because I tend to apply it all over, including near my lashes. (Be careful around the eye area) ✗ Lack of spatula: As this is an open-jar product, including a spatula would make for more hygienic use.

Here's my review after using it for about a week: 1. Texture It has a texture close to a hydrating moisturizer, but with a rich feel that's great for daily use. It's like mixing a face oil with a moisturizer, so if you're used to that routine, this cream can be your all-in-one solution. It's perfect for those who want a light, nourishing feel. 2. Ingredients While it does contain fragrance, the overall ingredient list is quite good. It's a great option for those looking for a functional skincare product with quality ingredients. 3. Subtle Glow I often go out bare-faced, and I noticed my skin had a natural glow that made it look healthier. The slight oil barrier prevents dryness and maintains that Inner Glow.
Cons1. Although I have sensitive eyes, I experienced some eye irritation. I applied it without thinking, and the tingling sensation around my eyes was disappointing. 2. The scent is quite peculiar... like a citrusy oil smell? Personally, I'm not a fan. While it does fade over time, I think it could be quite divisive. 3. It seems to have a somewhat ambiguous position. It might be too light for those with dry skin if used alone, and a bit too rich for those with oily skin. I think it could be an all-in-one for some, but might feel inadequate for others.
TipIf you're applying makeup after your skincare routine, make sure to let this product absorb fully before starting your base makeup to achieve that perfect glow!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsSkin type: Let me describe my skin before diving into the review. I have a 21 shade complexion with combination dehydrated skin. My T-zone tends to be oily, and I occasionally get blemishes on my chin. If I neglect my diet for 6-12 months, my skin can act up. My skin is thin and somewhat sensitive - using skincare products with incompatible ingredients can make it itchy. Product usage: I've been using this for two weeks before writing this review. Texture: The product has a soft and hydrating texture, though it's on the thinner side for a cream. This might feel insufficient for those seeking intense moisture, especially in winter. It's not as rich as you might expect from a cream. Feel on skin: After application, it absorbs well without feeling sticky. It leaves a moisturized feeling with a nice hydration level. The cream has good absorption. Scent: There's a subtle, pleasant herbal scent that wasn't overpowering for me. While those sensitive to fragrances might want to be cautious, it's worth noting that this product uses hypoallergenic fragrances, making it suitable even for fragrance-sensitive skin. Pros: As someone with slightly sensitive skin, I appreciated that this product didn't cause any itching or irritation. I loved how it left my skin feeling hydrated! The texture is great! It's an excellent cream for those with sensitive skin as it's non-irritating. I like that it's passed low-irritation tests. They've used hypoallergenic fragrances, which is a plus.
ConsCons: 1. If purchasing this product at full price without a sale, it might feel a bit expensive. I didn't fully experience all its benefits in just two weeks of use, so I'd need to use it longer. Also, using it in winter made it feel somewhat unsuitable for the season, which was disappointing. 2. I experienced slight eye irritation. I tend to apply cream around my eyes too, and it stung a bit when it got into my eyes. This was the most disappointing aspect for me.
TipPro tip: Start with an exfoliating toner, pat it in three times, then layer on two types of essence or serum. Follow with an emulsion, then use the Mimaine Revitalize & Rejuvenating Cream as your final step. For an extra boost, especially in winter, finish with a wrapping mask (widely available these days). This routine will help you achieve that coveted Inner Glow, even in harsh winter conditions. While the Mimaine cream provides good hydration, it's not super rich, so adding a wrapping mask at the end can be beneficial.

My skin gets very dry in winter. This cream has a light texture and applies smoothly. It absorbs well too. The finish is great - there's no residue and it leaves my skin feeling soft. It's like it creates a slightly firm barrier on the skin, seeming to lock in the moisture. The oil content isn't overwhelming, so I'm satisfied with the balance. Overall, it gives me a slightly brighter complexion - just a touch.
ConsI find the scent off-putting. It feels even stronger on the face, which is uncomfortable. No matter how good the ingredients are, fragrance is still fragrance. After applying, my eyes sting so much I could cry. Even when I reduce the amount, my eyes still end up stinging after a while. I'm not sure if it's the fermented probiotics or the shea butter causing issues, but I had to stop using it due to some blemishes and red allergic reactions appearing.

I love that the packaging is eco-friendly, mostly using paper materials. The scent was fine for me. It applies smoothly and seems to absorb well.
ConsI felt a slight tingling sensation around my eye area. Almost every time I apply this, it makes my eyes water. It's disappointing that there's no spatula included, so you have to scoop it out with your fingers.

The cream is on the thinner side, so it works great when used with other products. It might be a bit dry if used alone, so for those with dry skin, I definitely recommend layering it with other products! Right after application, I noticed a glow and felt like it created a slight coating on my skin. When I applied it in the morning before makeup, it gave me that Inner Glow effect, which made my makeup look great. I didn't experience any blemishes after using this. I think it would work well for those with acne-prone skin too.
ConsAs others have mentioned in their reviews, the scent is a bit off-putting... I've never really thought much about cosmetic fragrances before, but this product has a scent that I personally dislike... I can't help but think they could have left out the fragrance altogether. Also, some time after applying the cream, I touched my eye area and my eyes stung terribly... This had never happened to me before, so it was quite shocking... After that, I tried to avoid touching my eye area after applying this cream, but even when I yawned or teared up, it seemed like the cream somehow got into my eyes, causing a stinging sensation... I think you need to be really careful about this... And maybe because my eye area is slightly more sensitive than other parts of my face, I felt a slight tingling sensation on my skin as well.
TipI highly recommend layering this with other products. It might be fine on its own in summer, but in winter it can be drying, so using it alone is not an option... Also, I suggest avoiding the eye area as much as possible when applying this. I use a different cream for my eye area instead!

It's not an overly heavy cream, so I found it comfortable to apply both morning and night without feeling weighed down! Skin feel: It felt just right to apply now in winter! In summer, I think it might be best for evening use only. While it's not extremely heavy, it has a generous oil and moisture balance that might feel a bit rich for oily skin types in summer, but dry skin types should be fine! Scent: The fragrance might be a bit divisive, but I personally liked it. It has a powdery scent that reminds me of sneaking into my mom's cosmetics! Brightening: After using this, I received many compliments about my face looking noticeably brighter in a short time. While I didn't see dramatic effects in such a brief period, I believe with consistent use, you could really see some impressive results!
ConsThe only downside is the lack of a spatula, which is a bit disappointing. Also, while it's fine for me in the evening, I experienced slight eye irritation when applying it in the morning, so I had to be very careful around my eye area! Still, it suited my skin so well that I couldn't give it up... I wish they'd offer a larger size...
TipAt night, apply it generously! You'll wake up in the morning without any deep dryness.
