If you're looking for an effective whitening functional "gel cream" with a good ingredient combination, I recommend it. The most important effects: There are. I used it for 3 months and I could clearly see that my skin tone became brighter and more transparent when I sat at the vanity after washing my face. The dullness around my eyes, mouth, and face contours has improved. It lasts longer than expected. I used up one bottle in about 1 month and 2 weeks, and now I'm using the second one. Typically, whitening creams have an issue with maintaining moisture, so it's difficult to see the same effects as ampoules (usually used in combination with ampoules), but this one seems to have preserved the functionality of the ampoule and the moisturizing power of the cream. Texture: It's a transparent moisturizing cream with a glycerin base that those who have used it will be familiar with. When you apply it, at first it's just like a glycerin cream, but after a few seconds, you can feel the moisture. It's more like a gel cream than a serum. +The color is so iridescent that it just feels good to apply. Ahh, so refreshing..๐
ConsHowever, it does not produce a flawless, bright complexion in just 2 weeks as advertised. Whitening products need to be used for at least 3 months to see visible effects. The advertisements are somewhat exaggerated. For oily skin, it may feel heavy and the absorption is not very fast. The effects do not seem to improve rapidly due to the absorption rate. As for whether it's worth the money, I'm not sure. The product is not exactly cheap as it is formulated with carefully selected ingredients, typically priced in the late 20,000 won range, occasionally discounted to around 26,000 won. I purchased it in a bundle with a 50% discount and I'm on my second bottle, but I probably won't repurchase it unless absolutely necessary.
TipThe part with slow absorption was great to use with beauty devices, as the product did not dry out. I found it most effective to apply this product thickly right after cleansing, and then apply other products 2-3 minutes later. When I applied it after using other toners or serums, the absorption was too slow. This product is also great to use as a thick, double-layered application when you're feeling overwhelmed after drinking alcohol and need to apply other products. With its moisturizing and functional properties, applying it thickly can keep your skin hydrated until the next morning.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product contains 11 natural ingredients and is a kind product with good ingredients. It contains extracts from southern French hyssop, Vita-A-Complex, vitamins B and E, which are good for the skin. After opening, the transparency reminds me of an aloe soothing gel. The transparent and pretty bluish-green serum has a gel-type texture, which feels refreshing to use. During the period of using this serum, there were no new breakouts or pimples, even though I usually have trouble with acne-prone skin. The sticky and stuffy feeling that was strongly felt during absorption did not last for a long time. The sticky texture did not remain as excess oil on the face. This was surprising and, although the skin felt stuffy while using it, I felt relieved about this aspect.
ConsThe new acne that appeared after use was not there, but the product did not match my personal preferences and tastes. ๐ญ๐จ๐ฃ โ ๏ธDisappointing aspects during absorption: 1. Slow absorption (feeling of slipping off) 2. Skin discomfort 3. Stickiness 4. Residual feeling of a film forming 5. Slight eye irritation 6. Mild itchiness in various areas (eyes, cheekbones, around the nose) โ ๏ธOverall disappointing aspects: 1. As a jar-type serum, it is difficult to use hygienically. 2. The usage satisfaction, feel, efficacy, and price-to-volume ratio feel expensive. 3. It is difficult to feel the effect of improving blemishes. Personally, the formulation I did not prefer and the slow absorption were the most disappointing aspects of this product. Even after full absorption, there is a lingering stickiness and slow absorption, resulting in a feeling of discomfort. If the amount used is not controlled, the stickiness and discomfort can be severely felt. I applied it even in the winter months of February to March, but it still felt uncomfortable on my skin, so I think it will be difficult to use in the summer.
Tipโณ๏ธThose who enjoy using sleep masks regularly โณ๏ธThose who prefer a rich and sticky texture โณ๏ธRecommended for those with dry skin (Contains many ingredients beneficial for dry skin) For sensitive skin, try a small amount first and adjust the amount carefully when using.

The moisturizing power is good. It's not the fastest absorbing, but once it's applied, you can feel the difference in the texture of your skin. The color gives me the feeling of applying something like a beach product, haha. It has a cream or gel-like application, so you can just spread it on and pat it in. I think it would be great to use before makeup in dry seasons, and you could also apply a generous amount as a sleeping pack before bed.
ConsRight after application, there may be a slight stickiness, and you may feel a bit stuffy until it is fully absorbed.
TipApply evenly and wait 2-3 minutes before applying the next step product.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros*Hwahae Trial Reviewers Review* I received it on February 28th and have been using it for about a week. +Liked: The scent wasn't too strong, it had a subtle herbal or mugwort-like aroma. The color was ocean-like, so it looked very moisturizing. -It seemed like an aloe gel formula, so I tested it on the back of my hand first, but the texture was heavier than I expected. In the summer, this alone would be moisturizing enough without having to apply a cream. I've been applying it to my elbows and knees as well, and it's super moisturizing. -After using it for about 6 days, the freckles on my cheekbones have faded quite a bit. The flushing on my cheeks has also significantly calmed down.
ConsThe product seemed to have a bit too much oil, so it felt a bit too heavy for my morning skincare routine. It also didn't absorb very quickly, so I've been using just a small amount in the evenings. When I first used the product, I applied a rich cream on top and my skin reacted badly. But after washing with water and adjusting the amount, it didn't get as irritated when I used a different cream. Proper dosage is essential. It's just too heavy and stuffy for me to use in the mornings. The jar packaging also feels a bit messy.
TipIn the morning, I mix the light serum half and half and apply it, and it feels a bit lighter. I also apply it to my arms and elbows, which tend to have a lot of dead skin, and it really makes them feel moisturized, like I've applied a cream. As for the whitening effect, I'll need to use it a bit longer to see the results.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSkin type: oily, acne-prone, flushed skin I have an oily complexion, but if I don't moisturize my skin properly, it becomes too tight. So I find it important to have a light, yet hydrating skincare routine. - Fragrance: Fragrance-free... The scent is not irritating. - Texture: The texture is truly remarkable. I was worried it might be heavy, as many reviews mentioned, but it's surprisingly lightweight. However, when applied to the face, the product feels light and airy, while my palms feel heavy and oily. The usage experience is very different from other gel-type products. That's why it doesn't seem to spread well on my hands. - Brightening: I'm not sure about the brightening effects, as I've only used it for a short time. - The ingredients seem great. This product hasn't caused any additional breakouts. There's no irritation either - it's just a gentle, soothing formula.
ConsThe price is high compared to the quantity. The application feels a bit stuffy for oily skin.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI've always wanted to try this product and was curious about it, so I started using it morning and night as soon as I received it. I saw that it's advertised as a cool-toned serum, and after applying it, I do get a sense of my skin looking a bit brighter over time. But that's really the only positive I've noticed so far. ๐
ConsThe feeling of use... It doesn't seem to absorb quickly and it feels sticky for a long time, but once it's fully absorbed, there's no moisturized feeling and it gets really dry - it's like applying a lot of soothing gel and then it dries up, leaving a very dry feeling... And I'm not sure if it's because of this, but during the time I was using it, my skin troubles gradually worsened. I can't say for sure that it's because of this product, but since my skin has been improving since I stopped using it, it seems like there was an ingredient that didn't agree with me... ๐ญ This product... is disappointing, really ๐ญ

While the texture is bouncy, the application is smooth and the serum is quickly absorbed into the skin, leaving a non-sticky, dewy finish. It provides a deeply hydrated feel, making it great for dry skin! ๐ Overall Review Pros: โ Hyssop extract + moisture-rich formula provides skin soothing & hydrating effects๐ฆ โ Lightweight, non-sticky finish allows for year-round use โ Bouncy texture quickly absorbs to deeply hydrate Cons: โ ๏ธ Improvements in elasticity may require long-term useโณ The Arenscia Holy Hyssop Serum is a refreshing serum that solves skin soothing and hydration in one step. It absorbs quickly while deeply replenishing moisture. However, for very dry skin, it's recommended to use it with a cream. Improvements in elasticity may need long-term use! ๐
ConsDrawbacks โข It may feel stuffy when applied before bed, especially for those who prefer a lightweight feel. โข The firming effect is not immediate, so consistent use is required to notice changes. + There was no separate stick, so using my hands to scoop it out makes me concerned about hygiene.
Tip๐ก My own tips! ๐ Use it in the evening rather than in the morning skincare routine โ Since the skin can feel stuffy, it's good to use it as a way to replenish moisture while you sleep! ++Applying the modeling pack thinly with a brush is recommended

It's quite unpleasant.
ConsAs I mentioned earlier, it does not absorb well into the skin, leaving it stuffy and sticky. I'm not really sure about its effectiveness in whitening.
TipI applied an additional layer on the areas with freckles. It was sticky, so I didn't apply it when going out, but I put it on before bedtime.

While applying, there is a slight reddish tint, but once absorbed, it even makes the surrounding redness disappear.
ConsI dislike the feeling of being stuffy, so I don't recommend it. I recommend applying it sparingly as it is slowly absorbed.

However, it also makes the product look unique and more premium! Although there is a slightly sticky feeling when applied, it is quickly absorbed and leaves the skin feeling smooth. Especially when used as a sleeping pack and applied generously, the skin is left feeling much more hydrated and radiant the next day!! The product does not instantly whiten the skin, but with consistent use, dull skin becomes more even-toned and glowing. It has been particularly helpful for concerns like freckles and pigmentation. โฅ Normally, serums are just lightly applied in a single layer, but this one can be generously applied like a sleeping pack without feeling heavy, and the hydration is great, leaving the skin in much better condition the next day! Highly recommended as a sleeping pack, especially during dry seasons or on dull skin days. It also has a moisturizing effect that seems well-suited for dry skin types. The teal-colored serum was interesting to use at first, but it absorbs naturally into the skin. The smooth and luxurious application experience makes it a very satisfying product to use every time!
ConsThe biggest downside is certainly the price... Considering the ingredients and effects, it is somewhat understandable, but the price range for this volume makes it burdensome to use consistently, so it may be a concern. When using it as a sleeping pack, hair tends to stick and there is a slightly sticky feeling, which can feel a bit stuffy. For those who dislike the stickiness, we recommend layering a small amount multiple times!
TipHwahae recommends the sleeping pack king! Try using a sleeping pack instead of a serum - your skin will be much better! There's no need to rinse it off, so it's even more convenient. And if you apply an extra layer to the problem areas, it helps boost the effects. Also, dry skin types should use the cream together with it to avoid dryness!
