The texture was thinner than I expected. The scent has a subtle baby powder fragrance, which I don't think will be polarizing. The absorption is definitely good! Just apply it with the dropper and gently pat it in - it fills your skin with hydration and gives you that Inner Glow. If you're struggling with dry skin, give this a try!
ConsAfter using it the first night, I woke up with a slight tingling sensation. Fortunately, after a few more days of use, my skin seemed to adapt and I didn't experience any major blemishes. As mentioned, it does provide a glow, but for those with oily skin, it might be a bit rich. When applied before makeup, it can make your skin feel a bit sticky and oily. It's probably best to use this for your skincare routine when you're at home.

I could definitely feel the hydration. When it first dries, there's a cooling effect, and the texture is more like a runny gel than a watery liquid.
ConsEven though I don't have particularly sensitive skin, I experienced blemishes. Just to be sure, I let my skin calm down and tried it again a few days later, but the same issue occurred. Also, with 'glow' in the product name, I expected a subtle radiance, but instead of a natural glow, it felt overly rich, making my skin look more greasy than luminous. Perhaps due to the excess oil, it didn't seem to absorb deeply into the skin, and the finish was slightly sticky, which was disappointing for me personally.
TipIt's a bit on the rich side, so I think it's better suited for nighttime application rather than morning use!

I think I'm more for complex types than for intelligent types. I'm a bit bothered by powerful intelligent types. I've been using Hwahae ingredients because I like them, and I've noticed that my skin texture is getting more refined. When I apply it, it gives a glowing, radiant look which I like.
ConsI think I overdid it with Jiseong. It also seems like I didn't really feel the brightening effect.
TipI simply cleansed my face in the morning and evening, then lightly applied toner.

Spreadability The slightly heavy liquid texture allows for quick application even during a busy commute, which is great. 2. Non-irritating While I've seen some reviews mentioning a stinging sensation, I personally did not experience any irritation or burning. However, since I was already using Lidershot, I may not have noticed it as much. For those with sensitive skin, I'd recommend doing a small patch test before full application. 3. Radiance & Skin Texture Improvement As it's a somewhat oily product, the skin immediately takes on a radiant glow upon application. It's not a light, airy glow, but more of a dense, dewy one. The texture I experienced was between bouncy and tacky, which worked well for me during the transitional weather. After using my basic skincare routine and finishing with sunscreen and a color corrector, it helped smooth out my skin texture and made my complexion look more refined. However, I think it may be a bit much for summer use. Oily skin types may find it suitable for all seasons except summer, while dry skin types could likely use it comfortably year-round.
ConsThe product feels more oily than moisturizing, so the usage experience is not particularly lightweight. Adjusting the amount used may be necessary depending on the season, and it tends to have a sticky finish, so those who prefer a lighter finish may not like it.
TipI tried using the product on its own and also together with Hwahae. When used together with Hwahae, my skin seemed to look better! In the morning, I used the serum alone and finished with a moisturizer, and in the evening, I used Hwahae first and then the serum, and my skin felt even softer!!

First of all, the scent was not particularly disliked, and I immediately felt that my skin texture improved after using it with LHA!! It felt like the Mamonde Liquid Mask Serum version, so those who liked that one will probably also like this serum! There was a warning that it could be irritating, but it wasn't overly irritating for me. It was about the same level of stimulation as the Daiso Leedle Shot 100. For those with sensitive skin, please take this into consideration. I also care a lot about trouble, but there was no major skin flare-up, just the usual amount of trouble, so I was quite satisfied. As for the whitening effect, I'm moderately satisfied with it as a skin conditioning product! In conclusion, I'm satisfied! I think I'll continue using it consistently!!😊
ConsWhen using the Mamonde Liquid Mask, the finish was a bit oily and not quite my type. It's completely oil-rich, so I only use it at night as it takes a long time to absorb. Other than that, there don't seem to be any issues!
TipAbsorb it well...

Since it overlapped with the menstrual period, some skin troubles arose, and the complexion was a bit dull, but the tone seems to be improving. However, the result of the tone improvement is not as noticeable as expected, but rather the makeup seems to be absorbed better. And since it contains LHA, if used more consistently, it seems that you can expect some effects. The formula is quite thin, so it would be good to adjust and apply it carefully.
ConsI'm not sure if it's because I timed it wrong, but some minor troubles have come up. It was said that since it contains LHA, it may be itchy when applied for the first time, but I didn't feel any itchiness, though it seems necessary to apply it carefully depending on the skin condition. ' And after applying, it becomes a bit sticky and glossy, but if you prefer a fluffy finish, I would not recommend it.

Since I have sensitive skin, products that don't agree with me tend to cause a lot of irritation, but this seems to be a good fit! When I apply it, I can really see why it's called a 'radiance serum' - it makes my skin glow from within. It's also moisturizing, so I finish with a light water-based gel cream, and the combination works well to keep my skin balanced.
ConsAmong the moisturizing products, there are some that leave a stuffy feeling around the chin area after application. It seems this product also gives that kind of feeling. The oily ingredients in this product may also make you feel a sense of greasiness.

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 is the Hwahae Trial Reviewers' review! I have an extremely dry skin type, and I happened to run out of ampoules, so this was a great opportunity for me to try it out. ✔️ The texture is thicker than I expected! At first, I thought it might be sticky, but that wasn't the case. However, it didn't have a powdery finish either. ✔️ I was worried it might be too oily, but once it absorbed, that wasn't the case at all. It feels more like a smooth, even application rather than an oily one. ✔️ Possibly due to the texture, it seems to help makeup apply better when used before applying makeup! The LHA component also seems to help with exfoliating. ✔️ The other ingredients also seem quite suitable for oily skin types. However, those with sensitive or dry skin should be cautious as it does contain alcohol.
ConsDepending on the person, some may consider it greasy, but personally I thought it was good!

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 used it with high expectations as it was said to care not only for the outer dead skin but also for the inner radiance. There were some reviews saying it stings a bit, so I was worried, but it's not as irritating as I feared. Even though I have sensitive skin, I'm using it well. My blemishes have come up a bit, but after the dead skin was cared for, I feel like they're being controlled. I haven't felt any dramatic results yet, so I'll use it for a bit longer and update again in about a month.
ConsThe formulation is slightly heavy and has a slightly oily feel. I would recommend applying it more at night than during the day. I think it would be best to apply it according to your skin's turnover cycle, especially before bedtime.
TipAfter applying the serum, try placing a mask sheet on top to help with absorption. When you remove the mask sheet, your skin texture will become incredibly smooth and refined.

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.ProsIn the first place, I was selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewers and got to try it out for the first time. I am a person with dry and sensitive skin, with a lot of acne scars and blemishes. But since my skin tone is 23, I felt that my skin looked brighter after using this product. Of course, since I haven't used it for a month yet, the effects weren't dramatic. The texture is somewhat viscous in water, not exactly watery. The absorption is good when layering it once, but when layering multiple times, the absorption becomes slower, and my slightly oily skin felt a bit greasy. Also, it's still quite dry now, right? So my skin gets oily but also dry. It needs to provide some inner moisture while having a certain amount of oil, and this product did that well - the oiliness wasn't burdensome, and the inner moisture was replenished to a certain degree when layering it. But the absorption was a bit tricky. And since I have sensitive skin, my face usually gets red when I apply anything, but there was no redness when I used this. So I cautiously think it might be fine as long as you're not extremely sensitive. Overall, I think this serum is worth trying, with a usage experience slightly above average. I personally recommend this for dry skin types. For oily skin, I'd recommend it only for winter use. But don't just use this alone - oily skin types might have trouble with absorption when layering this product during makeup.
ConsFor someone like me with dry skin, products that feel greasy might seem unappealing once the winter or dry season ends. Since I can feel a slight oiliness to them...
Tippersonally, i often use it in the evenings.
