Scent It has a fresh, zesty lemon-like fragrance. When applied generously, the pleasant smell is invigorating. 2. Absorption The absorption is excellent. It has a gel-cream texture that isn't heavy. It doesn't leave an excessively oily finish. 3. Ingredients / Effects I'm not sure yet if it helps with brightening and pore management. Two weeks is a bit short to see immediate results... However, when well-absorbed and left overnight, it definitely makes the skin feel firmer. It contains retinyl retinoate, which is said to be a more stable form of retinol, offering faster absorption and less irritation for wrinkle improvement. It's interesting to note that banana extract is listed first on the ingredient list.
ConsNot necessarily a drawback, but a unique characteristic: It forms a moisture barrier that really feels like a film on the skin. It's similar to the sensation of applying Vaseline or those old-fashioned Nivea creams that had a whipped cream-like texture. When you apply it to your face, it feels like a water-like film forms. It's not as suffocating as applying a heavy, oily cream, but you can definitely feel a layer on your skin.
TipI don't recommend using this type of product that forms a film and has a gel-like texture before applying makeup. This isn't to say the product is bad, but these semi-transparent formulas tend to cause pilling when used under makeup.

When I apply it at night, my skin texture feels smooth the next morning, and I notice a significant reduction in redness! The texture is rich and moisturizing, making it perfect for seasonal changes or winter. Those with oily skin might find it slightly heavy, but it's wonderfully hydrating. It's become my go-to soothing cream when my skin is super sensitive. I'll definitely repurchase!
Cons1. Slightly heavy for oily skin The cream's texture is quite rich, so it may feel greasy on oily skin or during summer. I recommend applying a thin layer or using it exclusively at night. 2. Gradual improvement in brightening and wrinkle reduction As it's gentler than pure retinol, the anti-aging effects are more gradual. Consistent use is key!
TipFor better absorption, apply a thin layer of this cream after using your serum or ampoule. If you're using it during the day, don't forget to follow up with sunscreen.

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.ProsUsage Period I used it for about a week, only at night. On days when my blemishes were severe, I adjusted the amount and applied it avoiding the T-zone. First Impression & Texture As soon as I opened the lid, a subtle lemon scent wafted up. It wasn't irritating, but rather refreshing, which was quite pleasant. The texture is a smooth cream type that feels rich yet gentle. When you put it on the back of your hand, it feels slightly oily, but when you spread it on your skin, it absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. Hydration & Finish I have combination dehydrated skin with severe deep dryness, so I always need to finish with a rich cream at night. This product feels exactly like a "moisturizing night cream that locks in hydration before bed." After applying and sleeping, I wake up with reduced deep dryness and a subtle glow on my face. Recommended for: • Dehydrated oily skin types worried about creams making them look more greasy • Those wanting to address pores, complexion, and skin barrier in one step • People with blemish-prone skin that isn't extremely sensitive I'll use it a bit more and add to my review later!
ConsThe ingredients were a bit disappointing as stearic acid can clog pores, but I didn't actually feel that effect when using it! So instead of using it daily, I used it occasionally for pore care. Now that it's summer, my T-zone felt a bit greasy. So I focused on applying it to my cheeks and just lightly patted it on my forehead and nose to finish. Not recommended for: • Very oily skin types that get greasy throughout the day • Those sensitive to fragrances or who prefer only unscented products • People currently experiencing active breakouts or inflammatory blemishes
TipHaving blemish-prone skin, I always brace myself when trying a new cream, but fortunately, there were no immediate pimples or red reactions. However, this product isn't the type to provide instant soothing like centella, so if you already have active breakouts, I recommend using it with a calming ampoule! Overall Review (for combination dehydrated and blemish-prone skin) Category Rating Hydration Sufficient (definitely addresses deep dryness) Richness Medium to slightly rich (be cautious in summer) Blemish Reaction Neutral, but always check full ingredients list Soothing Effect More focused on barrier repair and hydration than soothing Repurchase Intent Positive as a nighttime moisturizer

ConsIt seems to cause a slight tingling sensation. It feels a bit oily. There's some pilling.

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.ProsPros •The texture is moisturizing with a slight oiliness, making it perfect for combination skin that leans towards dry. •It absorbs quickly and sinks into the skin smoothly, so there's no pilling even when used under makeup. •I love that it contains ingredients like avocado oil, panthenol, ceramides, and niacinamide, which can help soothe skin, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve complexion. •It provides just the right amount of hydration to use as a daily cream without causing blemishes, even with consistent use. Fragrance Personally, one of the biggest attractions of this product is its scent. The super fresh and zesty lemon fragrance is a real mood-lifter when applied in the morning. While it doesn't last as long as a perfume, I appreciated that it lingers subtly.
ConsCons •To be honest, I'm not sure about its effects on pores. I didn't notice as much of a tightening effect as I had hoped. •If you have oily skin or during warmer seasons, the rich texture might feel a bit heavy.
TipMy personal tips •At night, I apply a more generous amount of the Banatinol cream like a sleeping pack, and in the morning my skin feels firm and hydrated. •During the day, I warm a small amount on the back of my hand and spread it thinly. This helps control oiliness before applying makeup. •Keeping it slightly chilled in the refrigerator and applying it cool seems to have a soothing effect.

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.ProsThe Hwahae Testers The design is cute and adorable. I liked that it wasn't an overly rich cream by my standards. Thick creams tend to have a high oil content, which can easily transfer to makeup surfaces or phones after application. I appreciated the included spoon, which allows for hygienic application of the right amount. Some other products lack a spoon, making it difficult to use them in a sanitary way.
ConsA downside is that those sensitive to fragrances may find it off-putting. As someone sensitive to scents, I felt put off by the strong fragrance when I first opened the lid. Though it faded somewhat during application, I found myself using less product due to the intense scent. Additionally, I haven't noticed much effect on blemishes. Even with using a beauty device alongside it, the results have been minimal so far. I wouldn't particularly recommend this for dry skin types. It's a cream with more of a rich feel than hydration. For those with dry skin, it might be best to use in combination with a hydrating moisturizer.
TipI'll need to use it more to be sure, but for my very dry skin, I think layering this with a hydrating moisturizer would work best.

It feels lightweight when applied, resting comfortably on the skin without feeling heavy, making it easy to use without any burden. It's also effortless to spread with your fingers. Scent It has a subtle, pleasant fragrance reminiscent of fresh fruits. The scent isn't artificial or overpowering, making it relatively suitable even for those with sensitive skin. Hydration The moisturizing power is impressive - apply it before bed, and your skin still feels hydrated the next morning. It gives a sensation of deep hydration, as if moisture has penetrated to the innermost layers of the skin. This would be especially effective for dry skin types! After-use feel and pores Immediately after use, the skin feels firmer and smoother. While pore improvement isn't immediately noticeable, you might need to use it consistently for about a month to see results.
ConsCaution for sensitive skin If used after exfoliation (like with a peeling gel), it may cause a slight burning sensation on the skin. Oily skin types For those with oily skin, it might feel a bit heavy and could potentially lead to some shine after use. Especially when used in the morning during summer, it might cause makeup to slide off.
TipSleeping pack tip After completing a simple skincare routine, apply this product generously before going to bed. The next day, your skin will feel soft and soothed, giving a sense of improvement.

Cons1. 유분감 체감상 수분6 : 유분4의 느낌이라 한겨울에 건성에게는 조금 건조할 수 있을 것 같아요.

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.ProsI got to try this product for about two weeks as part of The Hwahae Testers program. Texture: It's not as light as a hydrating moisturizer, but not as heavy as a rich night cream - it's somewhere in between. At first, it seemed like it wasn't absorbing well and felt a bit sticky, but after 5-10 minutes, it absorbed completely and the stickiness disappeared. I was pleasantly surprised! Scent: It has a refreshing vitamin C lemon scent. I liked that it wasn't artificial, but those who are sensitive to citrus fragrances might find it challenging to use. Verdict: While I can't say yet if it's helped with pore care or pigmentation, I'm interested in continuing to use it consistently. However, the texture might be a bit heavy for summer use, so I'll probably set it aside and use it again in winter.
ConsWarning for oily skin types: As someone with combination dehydrated skin, it worked well for me, but those with very oily skin might experience some blemishes after use (it's slightly oily). If you do use it, I'd recommend blotting with oil-absorbing sheets after it's fully absorbed. Not recommended if you're just looking for hydration: The hydration isn't as impressive as you might expect. If you have dry skin, you might experience some deep dryness when you wake up in the morning, so I'd suggest mixing it with another hydrating moisturizer.

It would be perfect for milder weather when you want something lightweight.
Cons✔️ Fragrance: As someone used to fragrance-free products, this one's scent feels particularly strong and artificial. ✔️ Tingling sensation: I experienced a tingling around my mouth area with each application. Interestingly, avoiding that area during application resulted in no sensitivity elsewhere. ✔️ Texture: It feels a bit heavy with a noticeable oiliness. Rather than feeling like it's fully absorbed, it seems to sit on the skin, and I woke up feeling slightly dry.
