Pros

I've been using this product for 4 months now, and the results are so impressive that I'm sticking with it consistently. Originally, my skin was super sensitive, prone to breakouts when changing products, with lots of tiny blemishes and enlarged pores. Since I started using this product, my skin has been gradually improving. The small blemishes have noticeably decreased, and now my complexion is smooth. I'm also experiencing fewer breakouts, which makes me extremely satisfied.

Cons

The price point seems a bit high. I'm trying to use it sparingly.

Tip

I apply a small amount to my hands, then gently pat it onto my face to help it absorb. After that, I apply a second layer.

Pros

As someone who struggled with extremely dry and dehydrated skin, I found that applying this product generously helped improve my deep dryness and seemed to benefit my pores as well.

Cons

The scent can be a bit challenging at first. However, I found that I quickly got used to it.

Tip

Personally, I tend to layer it on at least five times after cleansing my face.

Pros

I use SK-II products and use them together with the Treatment Essence. It really makes my face feel so refreshed and hydrated - I apply it a few times! I also use it like a mist. At first, I was like, "What is this? It's so watery." But if you use it diligently for just 3 days, you can really feel your skin texture and tone improving. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and moisturized, just like after a sauna session.

Cons

At first, it seemed too watery, but now I think I understand why Sewolab is famous~~^^

It doesn't seem to suit my skin. The first couple of days were fine, but from the third day on, my skin started to develop redness

Pros

This review comes after several months of use. I have combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes, and a darker complexion. The texture is truly like water - there's absolutely no stickiness, just a yellowish liquid formula. At first, I wondered if it would be effective, but my mom tried it before me. After about 2 weeks of use, her skin became unbelievably brighter! I asked her, 'Mom, why does your skin look so good lately?' and she said it was because of Cepolab. That's when I started using it too! For the first week, I didn't notice much brightening (though my makeup applied better and my skin felt softer). Around the 2-week mark, I noticed my skin looking brighter too. My face used to be darker than my neck, but now my neck actually looks a bit darker... haha... Don't be like me, folks - remember to apply it to your neck too! The price is really, really steep, but the results are worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Cons

The downside is definitely the smell! It has a really pungent odor... If someone uses it, the surrounding area will be filled with a strange smell for several minutes. And the price... it's so expensive...sigh...

Tip

It works best when applied as the first step after cleansing, on bare skin!

Pros

The key ingredient in this product, Klerbs, is a special component derived from microbial cultivation. It quickly penetrates the skin, delivering its benefits deep into the layers. Unlike conventional functional cosmetics, Klerbs doesn't just perform a superficial role. Instead, it works to make your skin inherently healthier, helping to create the optimal skin condition before applying any other cosmetics.

Cons

This product applies smoothly and enhances the absorption of other cosmetics, which is great. I can't think of any downsides.

Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Pros

I've been using this since March 2025. I have dry skin, so my skin type is prone to dryness. It's a well-known product on home shopping channels, which gives me confidence in using it. I apply it before my basic skincare routine, and it seems to help my makeup go on better. After 1-2 weeks, I feel like my skin is becoming moisturized deep down. After cleansing, I layer it up to 3 times, and it absorbs instantly, feeling like my skin is drinking it up.

Cons

I didn't experience any blemishes. The scent is reminiscent of whiskey, not floral, so it's not exactly a pleasant fragrance to apply. However, if it's good for the skin, the scent doesn't really matter.

Tip

You can pour it directly onto your face after cleansing, or apply it with gauze or cotton pads. Don't forget to layer it multiple times!

Pros

This lightweight essence is perfect for combination skin. It absorbs beautifully, and while I can't say much about pores, it definitely helps even out skin texture. I'm already on my third bottle after finishing two!

Cons

The scent is a bit... well, different. But you might find yourself addicted to it later. Just be cautious if you have super sensitive skin, as it can be a bit irritating.

Tip

Make sure to apply a second layer. One application might not be enough to see the full benefits.
