I happened to try a sample and thought it was pretty good, so I purchased the full-size product. When I apply it, I feel like my skin looks a bit brighter when I wake up in the morning. Since it's a gel-type, it has a refreshing feel to it. So I keep it in the refrigerator and take it out to use, and it feels even more refreshing and nice that way.
ConsThe initial usage experience feels somewhat sticky and slippery right after application. The amount is extremely, extremely, extremely small for the price. Even if used generously, it would likely last less than 2 weeks. While they included a spatula, as if to apply it like a mask, the reality is that it doesn't get absorbed well, so you have to manually pat it in. The product isn't bad, but I probably won't repurchase it.

But when I apply this like a face pack and sleep with it on, my face looks radiant the next day. It definitely replenishes moisture and makes my skin feel plump and bouncy!
ConsThe T-zone on my face tends to be quite oily, but the next day it becomes a bit greasy!

ConsThe product feels and finishes like a serum with a soothing gel-like texture, but it's actually quite heavy and oily, not lightweight and quickly absorbing as expected. When applied, it feels more like a rich moisturizing cream rather than a soothing gel. Even after patting it in thoroughly, it has a lingering slick, greasy feel and takes a long time to fully absorb. After absorption, there's no stickiness, but also no refreshed, hydrated sensation - just a slightly tacky feeling on the bare skin. While it does impart a subtle glow, it's similar to the glow from a regular moisturizer, not an intense hydration boost. As for hydration and absorption, it doesn't live up to its claims of being a moisturizer or night care product. Applying it thickly doesn't make it feel more nourishing, and even when layered thinly multiple times, it leaves the skin feeling dry and tight.

However, this product is said to be as effective as a 'cool-toned serum', so I'm really looking forward to it. Even though I haven't used it many times yet, I haven't noticed any significant whitening or blemish effects. But if I'm satisfied after using it more, I think I'll repurchase it! Despite having only used it a few times, there are quite a few good things about it! First of all, the scent is not unpleasant, so it's nice to use it to relax at night. And the texture looks a bit like a soothing gel, so I was worried it might be drying, but it's actually very moisturizing!! Since I have dry skin, I applied it generously, like a sleeping pack, and the next morning, my skin texture was really amazing. Even though I only slept for 4 hours, my skin felt as smooth and glowy as if I had a 12-hour beauty sleep when I cleansed my face and applied my skincare products. Honestly, to see whitening or blemish effects, you need to use it for a few months, but even with this level of effect, I'm already quite satisfied and continuing to use it!!
ConsThis may be a bit heavy for those with refined tastes! It has quite a bit of moisture as well as oil content! However, for those with dry skin, it is quite substantial despite being a whitening product, which is great! I'm a bit disappointed that there is no spatula...ใ ใ Using it by hand doesn't seem very hygienic, so I'm using the spatula that came with another product!

Resolves inner dryness & Cooling effect I recently experienced severe inner dryness due to the heater air in the office, and then I came across the Arenasina serum. First of all, it's a light and watery gel type, and I liked that it felt very moisturizing! And since the absorption is good, there was no stickiness after applying it, which was satisfactory! And when I came out of the warm water, there was an immediate cooling sensation when I applied it, which was great ๐๐ป 2. Gentle enough for sensitive skin without causing troubles The trouble part can vary a lot, but as someone with extremely sensitive skin that immediately reacts to products that don't suit it, the fact that I didn't experience any worsening of acne or skin turning over is enough for me to acknowledge that it's gentle ใ ใ (I've honestly left reviews on other products that didn't suit me and caused my skin to turn over)
ConsAlthough it has a bit more oiliness than expected, I think it would be difficult to use on oily skin as the weather gets warmer.
TipWe recommend it more for dehydrated skin or dry skin rather than perfect intelligence.

The color was neither a pale blue nor a dark color, but a color that is rarely seen anywhere else, and it was pretty. To be honest, I couldn't really feel the scent, and I prefer unscented over a strong scent, so this aspect was also good!
ConsI really dislike the feeling of having an oily, shiny complexion on the outside, but a dry interior. This serum was exactly like that... I've been living with bangs for the first time in 10 years, so I'm more sensitive to oily skin, and after using it just at night for the first few days, I found I couldn't use it in the morning before going to work. Applying this serum made my skin feel so greasy that I couldn't even use my regular cream anymore, but after a short while, I had to apply the cream again... So I felt this product just didn't suit me, and thought it might be because my skin is sensitive. After 3 days, I started using it on my body, and it works well there! However, I don't think I'll buy this again just to use it on my body, as it's too expensive. So I was disappointed.
TipIf it doesn't suit your face, use it on your body!!

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.

This product is great - it completely eliminates dryness without any stickiness. As I've gotten older, the area around my mouth has become extremely dry, and by lunchtime, flaky skin starts to appear. You really have to try the deeply moisturizing feeling it provides from within.
ConsMoisture and nutrition make it slightly heavy for oily skin. It takes a bit of time to absorb, but I'm satisfied with this product that is not sticky while being well-absorbed with this level of moisture.
TipApply the serum by dispensing it onto the palm of your hand, then mix it slightly with the skin. Spread it evenly across the entire face, starting from the first step.

It does not feel sticky. => I really really dislike sticky cosmetics, but this serum is not sticky at all, so I love it! 2. It absorbs well. => When I pat it on, it absorbs well! So it's good when applying the next step of skincare and when applying makeup, as it doesn't peel off. 3. It has good moisturizing power. => As the name suggests, the moisturizing power is good. I don't use a lot of basic skincare products, just the necessary amount, but even using a few, it feels moisturizing. The other products I've used are all good, but this serum also seems to have really good moisturizing power! 4. It can be used on sensitive (acne-prone) skin. => I can't use just any product because I have acne.๐ฅบ I was actually worried that this serum might not suit my skin and make my acne worse, but that's not the case at all! However, I didn't feel that my acne improved. I think it's fine to use on sensitive skin, but for those with very sensitive skin, I'd recommend considering it carefully before purchasing. 5. It brightens the skin tone. => Even though I haven't used it for long, my skin tone seems to have become a bit brighter. Before using it, my skin had a dull feeling, but that dullness has gone away. If your skin is dull, you should try it! (It may not be very noticeable in the photos, but in real life, I feel my skin has become brighter. The third photo is from the first day of use, and the fourth photo is from after using it for a few days.) + The serum has good moisturizing power, so it seems like a good option for those with dry skin.
ConsIt was a bit disappointing. 1. It tends to get a little sticky. The oily feeling is not there, but if you apply too much, it gets a little sticky. 2. A tool is needed for application. It's convenient to just apply it with your hands, but if you prefer a more hygienic method, a tool would be necessary. + If you apply a lot of the serum, it can get a bit sticky, so for those with very oily skin, I'd recommend reconsidering and purchasing it.
Tip1. If you apply it well and control the amount properly, it won't get greasy and will absorb nicely! 2. If you have a spatula, I think it would be great to spread it thinly with the spatula! 3. I don't use it as a night care product, but many people apply a generous amount before going to bed. It seems like it would work well as a night care product too!

Although I don't get acne because my skin is dry, I do struggle with blemishes and uneven texture. But when I apply it in the evening, wash my face, and go to bed, I can see that my skin is smoother the next day. I'm most satisfied with this! โ๏ธ Oil content When I first saw the formula, I expected it to be a serum with just a lot of moisture, but after applying it, I felt a slight oily coating. It actually has better moisturizing power than products with just moisture, and the coating makes my skin feel plump. It's great for dry skin! Oily skin types may find the oil content to be too much, though. โ๏ธ Fragrance I'm a bit sensitive to fragrance, as products with strong scents can cause allergic reactions for me. But this product is almost fragrance-free, so I could use it comfortably without any issues. โ๏ธ No stickiness It's so annoying when products leave a sticky finish, but this one doesn't have any stickiness, which I really appreciate.
ConsThe absorption power did not seem to be extremely good. As it has a bit of an oily feel, it takes some time to be absorbed. It is better to apply the next step after thoroughly absorbing it. The amount seems a bit small considering the price.
TipBecause it finishes with a moisturizing feel, I'd recommend washing and applying it in the evening rather than before makeup.
