Even though I have combination skin, I hardly felt any dryness when applying just this product.
ConsRecommendedI prefer a fresh finish, so at first I didn't like it because it felt a bit sticky. However, it gets better as time passes.

The scent is very subtle, almost fragrance-free, and the ingredients are top-notch, making it a pleasure to use without any concerns. The texture is light but not runny, which I really appreciate. It absorbs well into the skin without feeling sticky, showcasing its excellent absorption power! I feel like my combination dehydrated skin has improved since I started using this - it might be my imagination, but my deep dryness seems to have diminished a bit. The transparent, glass-like packaging exudes cleanliness, and the brand itself feels so sleek that I enjoy using it every time! I highly recommend this product for those with super sensitive skin, especially if you're like me - oily but prone to deep dryness. It's truly a gem for skin that needs gentle care!
ConsRecommendedI wish it came in a larger size. It would be great if they offered a bigger bottle!

As someone with dry skin, I tend to be skeptical of hydrating products since even when I apply moisturizing serums or creams, the effect often doesn't last beyond the initial application. However, this product instantly gives me that coveted 'Inner Glow' look, and the hydration lasts until the next morning. It seems to be the best among hydrating products I've tried.
ConsDue to its high moisture content and long-lasting hydration, I'm concerned that if applied before makeup, it might cause the makeup to clump and separate.
TipRecommendedHydrating products are crucial after dermatological procedures like laser treatments. This seems to be an excellent choice for skin soothing and hydration in such cases.

The packaging, both the box and the product, is incredibly simple and minimalist. I appreciate that it's not excessive packaging that generates a lot of waste. While it's called a calming serum, likely due to the panthenol content, I found it functions more as a hydrating serum. Thanks to various glycerin ingredients, it provides excellent hydration despite being a serum. For those with oily skin, this product alone might provide sufficient hydration in summer. The scent is supposedly unscented, but for some reason, there's a very faint, sweet coconut-like aroma. The texture is slightly thicker than a typical runny gel-type toner. Since it's not a lightweight water-type serum, it moisturizes well but doesn't absorb super quickly and has a slight stickiness. In conclusion, I'm very satisfied. I especially recommend this for dry skin types needing a viscous, highly hydrating serum.
ConsThere weren't any major disappointments, but the slightly sticky feeling that lingers after application was a bit of a letdown. However, its excellent hydrating power makes up for it.
TipRecommendedFor those with oily skin, this could work great as a summer moisturizer on its own.

I have sensitive skin prone to redness and have been using this for about a week. I haven't experienced any blemishes, and it absorbs well with a fresh feeling. While I haven't seen any dramatic effects yet, I'll need to keep using it to know for sure.
ConsI don't have any particular complaints since it didn't cause any blemishes. The only thing is that the product size is a bit small.
TipRecommendedI'm using this along with a beauty device, but I think I'll need to use it for a bit longer to really tell the results.

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.ProsHere's a review from The Hwahae Testers: Skin type: Combination leaning towards oily, with excess oil in the T-zone + sensitive (prone to blemishes) Quick take: Great product for replenishing hydration during dry winter months! Gentle ingredients make it easy to use! User experience: Absorbs well! I loved how it felt like it was purely focused on hydration. Since I usually apply a lot of anti-aging serums, I've been looking for products that simply hydrate, and this fits the bill perfectly! Ingredients: Really versatile, excellent for hydration, and it even contains panthenol - that's a win! Texture: Somewhere between a serum and an emulsion? Personally, I often feel like layering runny serums twice can lead to ingredient overlap and reduced effectiveness, but I was very satisfied with this product's soothing gel-like consistency that stays put.
ConsPackaging: Just average... However, the clear plastic lid was surprisingly inconvenient.
TipRecommendedI used this product without much thought, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it replenished my skin's hydration. It also pairs well with other functional serums!

After application, my skin feels incredibly moisturized and supple. Unlike other hydrating or soothing serums that often sit on the surface or take forever to absorb, this one has excellent absorption and sinks in quickly. The best part? It leaves my skin feeling firm and bouncy. I experienced no irritation whatsoever. Even though I have sensitive skin and have been dealing with some blemishes lately, this serum didn't cause any additional breakouts or worsen my condition.
ConsRecommendedThere wasn't anything I disliked about this product! I even appreciated that it's fragrance-free, which made the application process pleasant.

If the oil and moisture balance isn't just right, my skin tends to break out...😢 I avoid products that are either too rich or too light. The Cerolabs Soothing Serum has a simple ingredient list, which I actually prefer as it contains only what's necessary for sensitive skin. It uses madecassoside to calm and protect the skin, panthenol to strengthen the skin barrier, and sodium hyaluronate for hydration. I appreciate the straightforward formulation, as I'm often skeptical of products with too many ingredients. The minimalist design and vegan formula add to its appeal. The texture is viscous and has a nice bounce to it. It feels lightweight with hardly any oiliness, but still provides adequate hydration. Layering it twice gives a pleasantly plump, hydrated feeling. The 30ml bottle comes with a pump, making it very convenient to use. It's also lightweight, so it's no problem to carry around when you're out. To sum up, while it might not be ideal for those with very dry skin, I think it's a great product for combination dehydrated or oily skin types. It seems especially suitable for those with super sensitive skin. I hope my review has been helpful!
ConsRecommendedThe only slight downside is that due to its light 30ml formulation, you tend to go through it quite quickly.

When I first opened it, I was surprised by how compact the container was - it fits perfectly in my palm. I initially doubted if it really contained 30ml, but it's just efficiently packaged without excess. Recently, I've been frustrated with oversized containers (especially for creams) relative to their content, so this is a pleasant change. Though it looks like it might be viscous, it actually has a consistency similar to thin aloe gel. So far, it's non-irritating, lightweight, and hasn't caused any blemishes, so my son and I are both using it. My son has acne-prone, oily skin and is quite picky, but he's been saying 'This one's good!' and using it well. It's a hydrating essence that focuses on the basics.
ConsAs I get older, my skin becomes drier, so I need to apply essence and then moisturizer. Even though I have oily skin, it feels tight this winter without cream.
TipRecommendedIf you mix in a drop of jojoba oil, you can use less cream and it helps smooth away dead skin cells completely.

I apologize for the slight delay in posting - I was traveling. This product exceeded my expectations by far! Recently, with winter here, I've been applying a lot of moisturizer. However, when applied before makeup, it often pills and feels heavy. This serum, on the other hand, doesn't pill at all and feels much better. I tend to have severe deep dryness, and my skin usually feels tight if I don't apply skincare immediately after washing. But with this, I didn't even need to use a separate cream, and there was no tightness at all - it was amazing! I'm so satisfied that I'd repurchase it with my own money. While it might be a bit rich for those with oily skin, I think it's great for all skin types as a light-weight option. There's absolutely no irritation, and what I want to emphasize most is that the scent is totally my style! I've encountered many products that work well but have disappointing fragrances. This serum has a coconut oil-like scent that I just want to keep smelling. Some people might not care about fragrance, but I find it quite important. This product checks all the boxes, even the scent! I think I'll be using it frequently in summer too.
ConsRecommendedI'm not sure if it's incompatible with the products I apply before this serum, but it did feel sticky at times. It wasn't a major inconvenience though, so I think it's fine overall.
