I was curious about this product, so I bought it, and wow, it's amazing! The texture is thinner than aloe gel. When applied to the skin, it absorbs smoothly and moisturizes deeply. After application, your face gleams with radiance - it's exactly the glow I've been looking for! Hydration! Plump, bouncy skin that looks like it's drenched in water! There's no particular scent, and the product has a blue tint. Using this alone provides hydration, radiance, and moisture all in one. No redness or irritation, and the jar is adorably small. If your face feels parched and you're tired of layering multiple products in summer, just try this one. It is a bit sticky, which I don't mind as I have dry skin, but those who prefer a completely absorbed, matte finish might want to pass. Highly recommended for those who enjoy a nourishing feel on their skin.
ConsThe shelf life after opening is only 6 months. I'm not sure if it's okay to apply with fingers... They included a mask brush as a freebie, but lazy me just wants to scoop it out with my hands. It's a jar-type serum, but it doesn't feel like a typical serum. It's better to think of it as a summer moisturizer.
TipThis review highlights the product's effectiveness in providing hydration, glow, and nourishment to the skin. The reviewer appreciates its moisturizing properties and the radiant finish it gives. However, they note that it might be too sticky for those who prefer a matte finish. The short shelf life and the uncertainty about application method are mentioned as potential drawbacks. Overall, the reviewer seems to highly recommend this product, especially for those with dry skin looking for a hydrating summer moisturizer.

Even though I've only been using it for a few days, I feel like my pores have slightly reduced. Looking in the mirror used to stress me out, but now I think they've shrunk a bit - what a relief! The color is also so beautiful, it's ethereal... While the brightening effect isn't dramatically noticeable, I think my complexion has become a bit fairer! My skin feels softer and better overall... There's a nice glow too! I love how hydrating it is. I have super sensitive skin so I can't use just anything, but this product worked well for me without any irritation!
ConsThe price is too high. It would be great if they could lower it a bit... I bought the set with the brush included from Olive Young, but for those buying just the product alone, it might be inconvenient without the built-in brush. Don't expect dramatic brightening effects from this product.

If you use a generous amount, you'll wake up with a beautiful glow.
ConsWhile my skin looks brighter in the morning after using it, by evening it returns to its original dull, darker tone.
TipIf you apply it generously before sleeping, your skin tone can lighten by about half a shade.

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.ProsFirst off, I have extremely dry skin (never needed blotting paper) and some dark spots and freckles. ✅ Texture: It has a thick consistency that doesn't run like jelly. It's reminiscent of aloe vera, but lighter. If you dislike heavy products, applying a small amount would be ideal. ✅ Hydration: When I apply it thickly like a mask at night, I wake up with an amazing Inner Glow. It might feel a bit heavy at first, but after using it nightly, I love how the moisture lasts until the next morning. ✅ Scent / Color: I'm amazed at how this natural color is achieved through plant extracts. The luxurious packaging is also appealing. The scent isn't artificial, making it perfect for daily use.
ConsAlthough it's called a serum, I have very dry skin so I applied it after my ampoule. My routine: Toner (2 layers) ➡️ Liquid Ampoule ➡️ Arencia Serum. I didn't need to apply cream afterwards as it was sufficiently moisturizing. If you're expecting a typical runny serum, you might be a bit disappointed.

It feels similar to aloe gel, but it doesn't absorb as quickly. Instead, it takes a bit more time to sink in. The trade-off is that it's more hydrating and leaves a subtle glow after absorption due to its slight richness. I really appreciated the great ingredients and the nearly fragrance-free formula. It has a soothing effect and provides long-lasting hydration. You might want to adjust the amount based on your skin type. I like to take my time letting it absorb, and applying two layers makes it moisturizing enough to replace a cream. It seems to minimize pores too. Addition: The most surprising thing is that my husband, who rarely uses skincare products, kept using it alongside me because he found it lightweight and non-sticky. His skin became smooth and translucent like glass! While I use various products and can't always pinpoint what's working, my husband's skin improved dramatically just from using this one product.
ConsThe only drawback is that it absorbs a bit slowly. I don't usually use spatulas, so that doesn't bother me. Addition: I'd like to order another one since my husband and I are sharing it, but it's a bit pricey for the amount you get.
TipApplying two layers and allowing at least 2 minutes for absorption works well.

When I apply it in the evening, I wake up with an incredible Inner Glow. And when I use it in the morning before makeup, my skin looks absolutely amazing - like I've done a dewy makeup look! I've had many people ask what products I'm using. If the price were a bit more reasonable, I'd love to make this a staple in my routine. ✔️Absorption & Texture It has a gel consistency that doesn't run and adheres well to the skin. I thought the gel texture might feel heavy or not absorb well, but it actually absorbs beautifully and doesn't pill at all during the next steps of my skincare routine. ✔️Skin Type My skin type is combination (oily but with deep dryness, prone to makeup separating). When I apply this before makeup, areas like my cheeks and chin that usually get dry and flaky stay radiant until evening. It keeps dryness at bay for a long time, so I highly recommend it for those with dehydrated skin! My skin is prone to blemishes if I use the wrong product, but after a week of use, I haven't experienced any irritation. So I think even those with super sensitive skin could use this well.
ConsThe product is so good that when I checked the price, I found it a bit expensive even when on sale. It's also slightly disappointing that it doesn't come with a spatula.
TipWhile it's fantastic on its own, I always try using great products like this with a derma roller. It might be just my imagination, but I feel it maximizes the effects. So I think it would be worth trying together at least once!

It actually allows for better control of the amount used right up to the last drop. The texture feels like a soothing gel, but it doesn't run, which is great. When applying, there's a cool sensation. It spreads with a hydrating feel, absorbs well without any stickiness, and leaves a smooth finish. After application, you can see an instant boost in your skin's Inner Glow. Though it's labeled as a serum, it feels like a hybrid between a hydrating moisturizer and a serum. Post-application, it's as if your skin is enveloped in a thin, protective layer.
ConsIt's probably best to follow up with a cream. Since it's not very rich, those with dry skin might feel it absorbs too quickly.
TipAfter cleansing, I applied this serum and then used a cream-type sheet mask. The next morning, my skin felt noticeably more plump and bouncy.

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: Oily with pore and blemish concerns Texture: Unlike typical serums, it has a rich, bouncy texture. After application, it feels like you've given your skin a dewy coating, making it perfect for hydrating before bed. Hydration: This would be fantastic for those with dry skin. It feels quite nourishing. Brightening: To be honest, I didn't notice much at first, but after about a week of use, I can definitely see a brightening effect. When I wash my face in the morning, my complexion looks noticeably more radiant.
ConsBlemishes: The formula feels a bit heavy for oily skin types. I'm not sure if it was solely due to this product, but around the third day of using it as the final step in my usual skincare routine, I noticed some redness on my skin. However, after a week, this has subsided somewhat. Packaging: It's a shame that a spatula isn't included. It would have made application much cleaner and easier.
TipIf you want to keep your skincare routine light while adding hydration, try using this as a cream substitute. Skip your usual moisturizer and apply this as the last step before bed for a boost of hydration.

As I approach my late thirties, my extremely dry skin in winter is gradually transitioning to dry skin. The gel-like texture provides a cooling effect when applied and spreads incredibly smoothly. I didn't find the scent off-putting - it's close to fragrance-free, which is great for my sensitive nose. Rather than using it during the day, I prefer applying it generously at night like a sleeping mask. Once applied, my face gets an incredible glow. Even though it takes a while to absorb due to the generous application, it provides ample hydration. I wake up in the morning without any feeling of dryness, and when I look in the mirror, I can see how supple my skin has become. I've been trying to use a galvanic device to help the product penetrate deeper (since it's supposed to have brightening effects), but I haven't seen any whitening results yet as I haven't finished the whole jar. The combination of moisture and richness is perfect for dry skin, but it might be a bit heavy for oily skin types (though adjusting the amount could make it work for oily skin too). I tend to be generous with skincare products and apply everything liberally! No matter how much I layer on, it becomes pleasantly tacky (not oily) after just 10 minutes. It's great as a sleeping pack in winter, and in summer, you could apply a small amount for its cooling effect.
ConsSince it's a gel type that needs to be scooped out, it would have been nice if it came with a spatula. I had to use one I already owned instead.
TipIf you have a skincare device at home, try applying a generous layer and then using the device to help it absorb. You'll really feel that bouncy, mochi skin effect!
