The product description claimed it was an 'active texture-enhancing care serum that smooths rough skin and brightens a dull complexion' - and after using it, I can say that description is spot on! What impressed me most was the high concentration of the key ingredient LHA. I'd heard this component is excellent for gently exfoliating dead skin cells and refining skin texture. However, when I first used it, I did experience a slight tingling sensation as mentioned in the instructions. I was momentarily concerned, but the guide explained this was just my skin naturally adapting to the ingredients, so I continued using it for a few more days. Amazingly, my skin texture became noticeably smoother, and my overall complexion seemed brighter. True to its anti-aging claims, my skin felt firmer too. It doesn't pill when applied before makeup, making it perfect for daily use. Although I haven't been using it for long, my first impression of this product is really positive. Despite having sensitive skin and being particular about ingredients and reactions, it suited me well without causing any blemishes. I'm satisfied and looking forward to seeing even more improvements with continued use!
ConsThere weren't many downsides, but my face did feel a bit itchy at first!

(rubber smell?) 2. Quantity - Quite small 3. Ingredients - No concerning ingredients 4. Application - Feels like a slightly viscous toner, absorbs well 5. Finish (residual feeling) - Right after application, there's a slight tingling and itchy sensation, but it subsides after a few minutes 6. Packaging - The dropper design is hygienic and easy to use +) My skin texture had been rough lately, but even after using it for just a few days, I noticed some improvement. I think consistent use could really help enhance skin texture.
Cons- The initial tingling and itchy sensation was unfamiliar and a bit uncomfortable. - I was disappointed that some stickiness remained even after it had been on for a while. +) I'm not sure if it's because I have sensitive skin or because I didn't get enough sleep, but there could be various reasons. However, after using this product and waking up the next day, I suddenly had so many blemishes on my previously clear skin... Those with super sensitive skin should be cautious. It seems this product doesn't agree with my skin...
TipIt worked well to apply this product after cleansing before bed, and once absorbed, finish with a sleeping pack.

The product warns that an adjustment period might be necessary. To be honest, as someone who doesn't usually read product instructions, I think this warning should be more prominently displayed.
Cons예민한 사람들은 고함량LHA때문에 얼굴의 간지러움이나 따가움을 느낄 수 있다고 고지되어 있어 적응기가 필요하다고 고지되어있어 예민한 민감성은 조심해야 할것 같음. 사실 제품 설명서 안읽는 사람이라 좀 크게 적어주면 좋을것 같음
TipIf you've had a good experience with the TRD serum, this one will likely work well for you too.

The application is smooth with good spreadability and it absorbs quickly. After absorption, it feels like my skin is coated with moisture. I think even those with dry skin could use this comfortably.
ConsSince I have slightly sensitive skin, on the second day of use, I experienced some itching in one specific area. However, it subsided quickly. The itching could be due to various reasons, so I'll keep using it and monitor the effects. Overall, it's pretty good.
TipAfter applying toner and letting it absorb a bit, I applied the ampoule and patted it in with a sponge. For drier areas, I applied a thin extra layer.

It coincided with my menstrual cycle, so I had some blemishes and dull skin, but I feel like it helped even out my skin tone. However, it's not a dramatic change in complexion, more like it creates a better base for makeup. Since it contains LHA, I think consistent use might show more noticeable results over time. The texture is quite thin, so be sure to apply it carefully for the best results.
ConsI'm not sure if it was just bad timing, but I did experience some minor blemishes. While they mentioned that the LHA content might cause initial itching, I didn't experience that. However, depending on your skin condition, you may need to apply it cautiously. Also, after application, it leaves a slightly sticky, dewy finish. If you prefer a matte finish, this might not be for you.

There is no need to worry, as it is not an overbearing cosmetic smell. •Usage There is a slight stinging sensation, but as I am used to using Hwahae products, it was fine. A small amount spreads widely on the skin, making it very comfortable to use. The good spreadability makes this a product I reach for often. •Positive Aspects There is a slight viscosity that gives the skin a plump, supple feel. Upon closer inspection, there are subtle pearls that contribute to a beautiful glow when applied to the skin. This results in a brightened, polished appearance that I really enjoyed.
ConsIf you have sensitive skin or find it difficult to tolerate even slight stinging or itching, you may need an adjustment period. It's weaker than Retin-A, so I strongly recommend you give it a try.
TipAfter applying the serum, I placed the sheet mask on top, and my skin felt much more refined and polished✨

It is the 19th shade and the first priority for summer and the second priority for fall. The user is in their mid-20s and has low skin regeneration and recovery capabilities. The product has a lightweight, hydrating formula with good spreadability. The user is satisfied and plans to repurchase. It is recommended for those with rough skin. It is not recommended for those who do not tolerate exfoliating ingredients well. After using the serum for 7 days, the user's skin texture became smooth and soft like a baby's, and they are very satisfied with the results. The product has a cooling effect and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.
ConsWhen LHA was first used, it felt a bit itchy and stinging.
TipAfter using the serum, apply the moisturizing soothing gel thickly and generously, then sleep - the effects will be doubled!!

Since I have not used it many times yet, I am unsure of the exact results, and I have not noticed any dramatic changes so far.
ConsAt first use, it stung a bit. It didn't itch or swell up red right away, but they say the LHA ingredient can cause some itchiness when it's working. Even so, there's a noticeable stinging sensation, so to be honest, I don't think I'll be able to use it comfortably. The degree of irritation seems to vary from person to person, so I can't really recommend this product enthusiastically.

The ingredients are gentle! It applies smoothly, absorbs quickly, and leaves a nice, non-sticky finish.
ConsThe reason why the pros only have two lines is... As written in the description here, it can be slightly irritating and itchy, but for me, the irritation was extremely severe and I could feel a burning sensation, so I was unable to use it properly... It seems that for people with thin, sensitive skin, using it is not easy.
TipThose who use it should find it good to use it as part of their evening routine.
