While it might not be a holy grail, it's certainly a product I'll use consistently. It has a cooling effect and contains many exfoliating ingredients to remove dead skin cells, yet it doesn't cause irritation. The product's effectiveness is truly impressive.
ConsThe packaging looks a bit cheap, especially the dropper which reminds me of counterfeit cosmetics... Also, the design is somewhat disappointing.

It provides a lovely moisturizing glow while hydrating the skin. With no tingling sensation, it's perfect for daily use. The absence of irritation makes it comfortable to use. The dropper-style packaging ensures hygienic application. Definitely worth repurchasing!
ConsThe price isn't particularly budget-friendly when it's not on sale, which is a bit disappointing.

As shown in the photo, this product has a runny, nasal mucus-like texture. It spreads easily and smoothly, absorbs well, and doesn't cause any irritation. I started using it because I heard LHA is better than AHA and BHA, and it's excellent for managing dead skin cells!
ConsWhile I didn't experience any irritation, some people might find it irritating. There's not really anything I dislike about it, but... I wish the bottle was larger as I think I'll use it up quickly.
TipIt works great when applied to the neck too!

Skin type: Sensitive and dry with thin skin. Currently no blemishes, but have blemish marks, so I had high hopes for skin tone improvement. Scent: A subtle mint fragrance, which I liked. Texture: Lightweight, easy to apply, and absorbs well. User experience: Applied after toner. Some reported itchiness, but I felt no irritation even on first application. No blemishes appeared during use! Skin definitely feels softer. I noticed its exfoliating effect when dead skin cells appeared on areas with severe acne scars! However, the process seemed slow, as the dead skin didn't clear up immediately, causing slight flaking when applying makeup.
ConsI didn't see the expected improvement in skin tone. However, since the usage period was less than 10 days, I'm not disappointed and instead think the product must be gentle. I plan to continue using it until I finish the bottle.
TipAs the main ingredient is for exfoliation, I applied it once a day in the evening. (To avoid potential irritation!) Those who regularly use ointments like Ecrin might not feel itching or tingling sensations as their skin may be adapted. (Just my personal theory, based on my experience.)

Used this serum throughout the entire Hwahae Testers period! Pros: 1. Tackles dead skin cells and improves skin texture in one go! After using it, even during seasonal changes, it truly lived up to its name by refining both dead skin cells and skin texture. I was much more satisfied! It especially seemed to smooth out the bumpy areas with excess sebum around my nose. 2. Ample hydration Unlike formulas that just sit on the surface, this Tone & Glow serum deeply moisturizes, leaving skin feeling firm and plump! The texture is similar to a runny toner, but it doesn't just slide off the skin. It provides hydration while still feeling great on the skin. 3. Suitable for sensitive skin Sometimes using products that are too oily or don't absorb well can cause blemishes, but I didn't experience any issues while using this! Some people mentioned a tingling sensation, but as I've used retinol before, I didn't feel any irritation.
ConsCons: If I had to pick one... it might be too heavy for summer use. While it's moisturizing, it's not purely hydrating. The formula isn't particularly heavy, but it's not just a light, watery texture either. So it might be a bit much for summer use.
TipI apply it generously before bed, but instead of using your hands or applying it all at once with a wedge puff, try dividing your face into sections and gently spreading it. Then, pat it in with a puff. This helps with absorption and works much better!

It absorbs quickly without any stickiness, which is great. After use, I feel like it effectively manages dead skin cells and evens skin tone across my face, and even seems to tackle blackheads around my nose area. As someone with sensitive, oily skin, I'm using it without any major issues!
ConsHowever, I feel it might be a bit drying if used alone during winter. I'll probably use it together with a hydrating serum!!
TipI apply it right after cleansing, and if I feel any dryness, I layer on some hydrating serum before finishing with a moisturizer.

Texture - A serum with a slightly viscous consistency Scent - Almost fragrance-free Application - Spreads easily even with a small amount I've been using it for about 10 days since winning it. As the product description suggests, you can immediately feel your skin texture becoming smoother. After applying, your skin feels firmer, and it seems to provide a decent level of hydration. With consistent use, it refines skin texture and exfoliates dead skin cells effectively, giving your skin a beautiful glow!
ConsAreas prone to sensitivity might need extra moisturizing. On days when my skin wasn't at its best, I felt a slight tingling sensation in spots like the sides of my nose, but it was fine after layering on some moisturizer.
TipThree drops from the dropper are enough for your forehead and both cheeks!

It surprisingly exceeded my expectations! Scent and Texture: There's almost no scent, which is great for those with super sensitive skin. The texture is slightly milky with a bit of viscosity. It absorbs well into the skin without leaving any residue. Dead Skin Cell Management: After use, my skin feels incredibly soft. Even under light, you can see how smooth the skin texture becomes! Despite its effectiveness, it doesn't cause any irritation or redness. This product seems perfect for skin that's sensitive, prone to blemishes, and struggles with dead skin cells.
ConsThe product packaging is plastic, making it feel too light. It's like the container doesn't do justice to the quality of the product inside!

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.ProsIt's a serum with an opaque color and a viscous texture! Since it contains LHA for exfoliation, I started with just three drops to test it out. It wasn't irritating at all, so I ended up using 6-7 drops at night! My skin is used to AHA and BHA products, so even with 6-7 drops, I experienced no irritation! The product absorbs well, and its absorption rate seems average. After application, it leaves a slightly film-like, moisturized feeling. I liked that it exfoliates while still keeping the skin hydrated - it's like a moisturizing plus smooth feeling...?! I was previously using products with higher AHA and BHA concentrations, but this one felt like it managed dead skin cells more mildly. It's amazing how it provides both physical and chemical exfoliation without being harsh on the skin! My blemishes didn't worsen, nor did my skin become sensitive. I think it's because the LHA ingredient is good for acne-prone skin.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing, but since it's a mild, gentle exfoliating ampoule, those like me who are used to stronger products might need some time to adapt to its gentleness.
TipIf you want to increase exfoliation, try using it before your toner.

Still wanting to exfoliate, I discovered LHA, a 5th generation peeling ingredient. It's gentle yet effective for sebum control, dead skin cell removal, and blemish reduction. With larger particles, it's less irritating and helps balance oil and moisture as a lipid-soluble exfoliant. I was eager to try it. At first, I didn't notice much difference, but with consistent daily use during my skincare routine, I saw blemish marks fading and felt my skin becoming smoother. Now I feel incomplete without it. This product definitely shows results with regular use. I love that there's no stinging or irritation when applying.
ConsWhile it's not an instant-results product, it seems to help with sebum control when used consistently. It would be even better if the price was a bit more affordable.
