Pros
I've been using this for over three months, and it's both rich and gentle. Even though I have combination skin, I hardly felt any dryness when applying just this product.
Cons
I 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.

Pros
I've been using this consistently for about two weeks. 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.
Cons
There 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.
Tip
For those with oily skin, this could work great as a summer moisturizer on its own.

Pros
Here'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.
Cons
Packaging: Just average... However, the clear plastic lid was surprisingly inconvenient.
Tip
I 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!

Pros
After using it daily for 10 days, here's my review! 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.
Cons
I'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.

Pros
The texture was surprisingly less sticky than I expected for a runny formula. It left my skin feeling fresh without any residual stickiness, making it really comfortable to use. The madecassoside and panthenol ingredients provided excellent hydration and soothing effects, which made it great for calming my skin. I also appreciated the simple packaging that really captured the vegan aesthetic. It absorbs moderately well and seems suitable for all skin types.
Cons
For those with extremely dry skin, I'd recommend layering an additional moisturizer on top.

Pros
Overall impression: 5/5 This product is like a soothing gel, rich in hydration with a slight viscosity. Unlike aloe gels that dry quickly, the Soothing Labs Ampoule keeps skin moisturized for a long time, which I absolutely loved. Application & Absorption: 5/5 As you can see in the photo, despite its viscosity, it absorbs exceptionally well! It sinks into the skin beautifully, and with just two pumps applied all over, my face felt incredibly firm and supple! This makes it perfect for use before work - it never causes pilling and actually helps makeup adhere better.
Cons
The 30ml size is a bit disappointing, and the cap is quite tight on the nozzle, making it slightly difficult to remove. Other than that, I was completely satisfied with the product!
Tip
Since it's quite hydrating, you can boost the moisture even more by applying a sheet mask after using this all over your face!

Pros
Skin type: Combination Skin condition: My skin doesn't usually act up, but due to stress or lack of sleep, I occasionally get one or two inflammatory or small bumps. Ingredients: Looking at the ingredients, I noticed they're mostly related to hydration and soothing. After using it for about a week, I was able to use it comfortably without any blemishes. Based on the ingredients alone, I think it might be suitable even for those with super sensitive skin. Moisturizing effect: First off, during the dry winter, even with good skincare, the office heater tends to dry out my skin. But after applying this, it seemed to address my deep dryness, making my skin feel the most comfortable it has in a while! I tend to have dry lips and always find it bothersome to apply lip balm, so I just roughly applied this cream to my lips along with my face in the morning. While not as effective as a dedicated lip balm, it did prevent my lips from cracking. Absorption: It absorbs well without any sticky feeling. When heading out in the morning, it's annoying to have a sticky face during the commute, but this left my skin feeling fresh, which I really appreciated.
Cons
Hmm, I didn't find any major drawbacks. It was a good product that was comfortably moisturizing without causing any blemishes. However... given that there are so many great affordable products available these days... If I had to purchase it at full price, I'm a bit unsure about its competitiveness in terms of value for money.

Pros
I found this to be an incredibly gentle product with no color or scent. I was worried that its light texture might mean weak hydration, but surprisingly, it's both lightweight and quite moisturizing. It seems like a great option even for those with dry skin.
Cons
The small size means it might run out quickly, so I wish they'd release a larger version. It's almost too unscented - adding a subtle natural fragrance like citrus or herbs might be nice.
Tip
Those with oily skin could probably use this year-round, even in winter. For dry skin types, it might work best in transitional seasons, or paired with a richer cream in winter for added hydration. I was pleased to find that when applied lightly before makeup in the morning, it combats deep dryness without leaving a sticky surface.

Pros
1. Usage Period - One week. 2. Scent - No added fragrances, but a slight herbal scent remains. 3. Hydration - As expected from a soothing serum, it has more viscosity than anticipated. When applied to the face, its hydrating power is impressive enough to tackle deep dryness. 4. Absorption - Due to its viscosity, it requires patting several times for good absorption. However, its excellent hydration makes it satisfying to pat in. 5. Blemishes - None at all. In fact, applying it to dry or red areas in the evening provides a calming effect.
Cons
The volume! Most serums these days are 50ml, but this product is only 30ml.

Pros
After using this product for two weeks, I found it to be quite decent. I appreciated that the texture wasn't watery like some others, which made it easier to apply without dripping. It really shines when applied to dry skin, effectively tackling dryness. It's not an 'oh wow, super hydrating' feeling, but more like 'hey, the dryness is gone?' My skin didn't feel heavy, which was great. I'd recommend it for normal, combination, and dry skin types. Those with very dry skin might prefer something more hydrating.
Cons
There's a slight stickiness after application, which can be a bit uncomfortable, but it's fine once you apply cream over it. I felt the quantity was a bit small for the price. When I tried mixing it with a dry concealer, it didn't blend well and seemed to separate, unlike other serums. If you're planning to mix it with a dry concealer, you might want to reconsider.
Tip
Surprisingly, when I applied this serum and then put on base makeup without using cream, it worked wonderfully! The makeup adhered perfectly. If you apply this before putting on makeup, you can achieve that flawless, well-prepped skin look.
