The scent isn't overpowering either. It's great for hydrating areas prone to redness without causing irritation. I expected a light finish, but it actually leaves the skin feeling pleasantly firm. When my skin feels hot or particularly flushed, I apply it like a mask before bed. It helps calm redness and doesn't cause any irritation, which I really appreciate.
ConsBecause of its firming finish, you need to allow plenty of time for it to absorb before applying makeup. Otherwise, you might experience some pilling.

I loved using it! <Skin Type> I have super sensitive combination dehydrated skin! My cheeks and upper forehead are extremely dry, while my lower forehead and around my mouth are oily. <Pros> - Generous amount When I first opened the product, I was surprised by how full it was! Usually, creams aren't this packed, but this one is filled to about 98-99% capacity. - Excellent hydration It's not a lightweight moisturizer, but rather a rich one (with some oiliness). I'd recommend it for oily skin in winter and dry skin year-round except summer! It provides both hydration and a bit of richness! With my extremely dry skin, it absorbed completely without feeling greasy. My skin feels incredibly soft after application. It's easy to apply thanks to its great texture and absorption. As someone with super sensitive skin, I don't use many products, but I've been using this as a middle step in my 3-step routine: toner/ampoule -> Tea Tree Soothing Calming Cream -> heavier cream. Using it this way, I didn't experience any deep dryness or tightness in February! - Less skin irritation I had blemishes from using tea tree products before, so I thought tea tree didn't suit me. However, this product was fine! Except for one day when my skin turned red (mentioned below), I didn't feel any burning sensation, and no blemishes appeared after using this product.
Cons- Causes pilling Perhaps due to its richness, when used as a base for makeup, it caused my foundation to pill. I recommend using it in the evening as it's too heavy for a makeup base! - Inconvenient without built-in applicator The product comes with a spoon! However, it can't be stored inside the container, which is inconvenient. There's a risk of losing it, so it would be better if it were shorter and could be stored inside. - Potential for irritation (one day) Although it didn't happen often, I want to mention this in case anyone else experiences it! After applying the cream, I felt a burning sensation and my skin turned red. I also felt a slight itching, but it didn't worsen. The next day it got better without needing any medication or ointment.
Tip# Photos: The second photo shows my skin reddened from irritation, and the last one shows my normal skin condition. - The texture is a fluid moisturizer, but it has some richness, so I recommend those with oily skin to test it before buying. For those with extremely dry skin like me, I recommend this product as a soothing cream for the middle step of your routine! - You only need to use about half a fingertip - a little goes a long way for hydration.

However, I understand some might not prefer such fragrances in their skincare. Fortunately, the Essenherb Cream has a wonderfully subtle tea tree scent that I think everyone will enjoy, regardless of personal preferences! Texture: This is my absolute favorite texture for a hydrating cream! It's so rich and intense that it feels more like applying a mask than a moisturizer! Unlike some watery, runny creams that feel light but evaporate quickly, this product is truly thick and nourishing! If you love this type of moisturizer, you absolutely must stock up! Lasting Hydration: I always apply it before bed, and when I wake up in the morning, my skin still feels moisturized and supple without any dryness! It's amazing to wake up with such hydrated skin in winter, even without using a humidifier! I make sure to apply it to my neck too, and it's still so moisturized in the morning! Even after cleansing, I've noticed significantly less deep dryness! Applicator: The plastic spoon included in the package shows great attention to hygiene! One side is curved while the other is flat, so you can use whichever suits your needs best! Personally, I prefer products in jars as it's easier to use up every last bit compared to tubes. Blemishes: As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I didn't experience any blemishes during the week I used this product!
ConsNot recommended for very oily skin: Due to its rich texture, it might not be suitable for those with truly oily skin. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it perfect since I need something rich to combat both oiliness and deep dryness! Not ideal for pre-makeup hydration: Its thick, rich texture doesn't absorb quickly, so it's not the best for applying right before makeup. I noticed some pilling when I tried to apply foundation over it. It's better suited for nighttime hydration!
TipIf you find it too rich at first, try applying thin layers over time! This is especially effective on weekends when you're at home - it's the ultimate winter hydration technique! For combination dehydrated skin, apply a generous layer like a mask before bed! In the morning, instead of using a cleansing foam, just rinse lightly with water and follow up with a few spritzes of facial mist!

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.ProsFor a product labeled as 'soothing', its hydration is actually quite decent. It should work well even in winter, unless you have extremely dry skin. The price on Hwahae is currently lower than many 30ml ampoules, which is a plus. The absorption is quick and smooth, but that's typical for most soothing moisturizers.
ConsWhile the texture makes you want to apply more, using even a bit extra can lead to pilling or feeling greasy. It might not be suitable for those with severe acne or very oily skin. Despite being labeled as tea tree-infused and non-comedogenic, it still feels slightly occlusive on the skin.

I also enjoyed the cooling effect that you can feel right after applying it. It even helped improve my redness issues.
ConsIf you don't get along with tea tree, it's probably best to avoid this. It might not be ideal to use before makeup as there's a tendency for base products to pill. I'd recommend using it at night instead.
TipIt comes with a spoon-like applicator, but I found using my hands more convenient. After using this, I noticed an improvement in my skin texture and small blemishes. Here's a bit of extra info: I actually stopped using it for a day when I got something around my mouth, but then I remembered that tea tree products had worked well for me before. So I started using it again, and as I continued, I realized it wasn't causing the issue, which was a relief. To sum up: 1. You can feel a cooling effect and it helps with redness. 2. Not recommended for those who don't tolerate tea tree well. 3. Hands are more convenient than the provided applicator. Thanks for reading my lengthy review.

It feels so refreshing and soothing - absolutely fantastic for calming my skin! The texture is light and non-sticky, creating a lovely moisture barrier. I also loved the fresh, invigorating scent when applying, which made the experience even more satisfying.
ConsFor those with dry skin, it might not be hydrating enough as a final moisturizer step, and it can feel a bit heavy in the morning. It's somewhat... in-between? It also seems to cause some pilling with makeup, so I've stopped using it in my morning routine.
TipWhen you want something lighter than a cream, you can mix it with toner to create a more fluid consistency and use it like an essence.

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.ProsAs someone with acne-prone skin, I always make sure to apply a light cream that's good for blemishes, regardless of the season. This product is so gentle and soothing that I can use it even after popping a pimple without any irritation. The cooling effect from its formula makes skincare a pleasant experience. While soothing creams can sometimes be too lightweight and evaporate quickly, this one strikes a perfect balance. It provides deep hydration while feeling refreshingly moisturizing. I love that it's not heavy or suffocating, yet not too light either - that's its main advantage.
ConsEverything's great, except it pills slightly when I apply cushion foundation over it. It might be due to incompatibility with my sunscreen or cushion, but when products don't work well together, it can ball up like dead skin cells. I wish it came in a tube form instead of a jar. That would make it easier to carry while traveling and more hygienic to use.
TipApplying it diligently morning and night helps calm my skin and provides a burst of hydration, which I love. I use it in the evening before my regenerating cream, and when I put on makeup in the morning, my skin looks fantastic!

It's so plump and bouncy now! I have combination dehydrated skin, and with the cold weather, I felt my skin was getting dry. So I've been layering this on generously. It feels moisturizing and absorbs well, though I think it needs multiple applications for best results. I loved that it didn't cause any tingling or irritation. The packaging is also meticulously done. Thank you for that!
ConsPersonally, while I lack both oil and moisture in my skin, I can definitely feel the hydration, but because I'm lacking in oils, the moisture seems to evaporate quickly. It feels like I need to apply something on top to seal it in. After the hydration dries, it tends to pill a bit. It has a slightly cool feeling, but maybe because of the cold weather, it makes my skin feel even colder.
TipFor those with extremely dry skin like mine, it might be better to use this along with a mist that can replenish oils. While it's not completely lacking in richness, it's a bit insufficient for very dry skin types. So, I've been using it in this order: toner, this moisturizer, then an oil-based mist. No matter how I adjust the amount, it tends to pill, so I don't use it before makeup. Let's use it at night before bed instead!

It absorbs well into the skin, leaving a silky finish that I love. I was surprised by how hydrating it is despite its light application. It's perfect for seasonal changes. The non-greasy formula doesn't leave residue, so it's comfortable to apply anytime! A big plus is how it provides hydration without feeling heavy. My skin felt so soft after using it. Even after the first application, I could feel my skin texture improving! With consistent use, I think my skin will become even smoother. The tea tree and centella asiatica extracts, which address my skin concerns, along with the thin layer of hydration, seemed to have a significant calming effect. Above all, I appreciate how gentle it is. A cream that doesn't cause blemishes, absorbs well, and has great texture is a winner in my book!
Cons- If you apply too much cream, it can pill slightly, so controlling the amount is essential. - While I mentioned hydration as a plus, note that it's not intense enough for extremely dry, flaky skin. It's more suitable for seasonal transitions rather than deep hydration.
TipIt's great for nighttime use as it's not just a cream filled with moisture alone. After absorption, you can feel a hydrating layer on your skin!

It comes with a spoon, not just for hands, which is great for hygienic use. The moment I put it on the back of my hand, oh my... it's incredibly soft! I have a photo of applying it to half my face on the first day! I have some small blemishes from using the wrong skincare, so it might look unsightly, but I'm sharing this review to help others. Thanks for understanding! Many people dislike soothing creams because they're often too rich, but personally, I don't mind applying a lot at night due to dry skin. This one isn't too heavy though. It seems to absorb well and feels hydrating! On the second day, I had a breakout... with many blemishes on my chin and cheeks. My chin was so sore I hesitated to apply it, but I did and... It has a calming effect! The pain... amazingly subsided. While the redness from small blemishes and acne did fade quite a bit, there wasn't any dramatic disappearance. However, when I applied it to a large, painful pimple that had just appeared, it calmed down as if I'd used medication! Towards the end? Those who've tried oil cleansing will relate. After applying it, around evening my face, especially around the nose, got itchy. As I gently rubbed, like with oil cleansing, you know how those round bits of sebum come out of the pores? I kept gently rubbing, fascinated ^^;;;;;;;;;;;, then washed my face. Seems like face washing helps remove sebum too (personal opinion). It felt like the small blemishes were calming down, healing, and hardening to come out (personal opinion). While it's a personal experience and may not be the same for everyone, I'm satisfied. I recommend it! Oh! Just to clarify, those who prefer thick, rich creams should avoid this! If you know the Seoul Milk 'My Pick' among drinkable yogurts, it's exactly that consistency. Though the color is different, of course.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad... well... Like all soothing creams, it does pill a bit after absorption, but less than others!!
TipI recommend applying it at night. I keep it in the fridge, and the coolness seems to enhance its calming effect^^
