Pros
It has a pleasant fragrance and is lightweight...at an affordable price...?
Cons
To be honest, my skin was in a pretty good condition before, and my friends even envied my skin, saying that I didn't have any blemishes on my face. And I used to use just regular drugstore skincare products, which were supposedly full of harmful ingredients, but they didn't cause any issues. However, after using this product, redness started to appear. When I stopped using it, the redness went away, but when I tried it again, my skin completely flipped out. Large, red splotches started appearing all over my face, and my entire face became red and swollen. Even though the product was supposedly good, it just doesn't seem to agree with my skin.

Pros
The scent was also good, but the best part was that it felt very moisturizing. Other lotions felt very oily, and even after applying and absorbing them, they still felt slippery and sticky. But this product felt refreshingly smooth and adhering after absorption. I think this would be a great product to use in the spring and summer.
Cons
While I don't usually get milia on my face, I started getting them consistently after using this product... I guess the natural cosmetics formula just doesn't agree with my skin type. I probably won't be buying this again.

Pros
My skin type is extremely dry in the winter and normal to dry the rest of the year. I've consistently used mild and well-formulated products, and this snail line is a product I've been very satisfied with, having used 4-5 bottles since high school without finding a suitable replacement. I first wipe my face with a toner, then pump the product about 3 times and gently pat it into my skin. On drier days, it absorbs quickly without needing much patting, leaving a supple finish. Normally, I'd have to pat it in several times to fully absorb any remaining product, but if I use this over oily products or other layers, it can feel a bit sticky and overly rich. I've been using it very satisfactorily. The texture is not too thick, with a nice lotion-like consistency that spreads smoothly. After patting it in, my skin is left adequately moisturized and bouncy. However, I don't use this product in the summer, only in the winter to spring, as it feels a bit too rich for summer. I usually purchase it from other sites rather than the brand's website to avoid the shipping fee, but the price is the same, around 22,000 won for a skin and lotion set.
Cons
It's really great, but the one downside is that in the dead of winter, this alone is not enough hydration. I used to layer this with a sunscreen, but my cheeks would get so dry and irritated. Relying on the lotion alone was not enough, so I started mixing it with an oil, which helped. Now I use it in a lotion-cream routine. So I'd recommend that for those with extremely dry skin, even if it's not winter, to use this with an essence, oil, or cream. Also, I'm not sure if it's due to the product or just my own peeling, but when I apply sunscreen, a white cast appears. It's not too severe, so I don't mind it much, but even without the cream, there's a slight pilling. Individual experiences may vary!
Tip
For those with very dry skin, this product alone may not be enough to fully hydrate the skin, so it's recommended to use it in conjunction with other products.

Pros
The spreadability, absorbency, and moisturizing power all seem so-so.
Cons
I'm not the only one having trouble, it seems. The blemishes that were just on my cheekbones have now spread to both cheeks and my chin.
Tip
I should have searched for reviews here earlier. The product website only had positive reviews, so I trusted that and bought it, but it seems it doesn't agree with my skin, as my face has never been this messed up before. It's been over a month since I ordered it, and I can't return it now, and I've only used about a quarter of it. I'm thinking of switching to something else.

Pros
I purchased natural cosmetics because of their purported benefits. I'm glad that there were no particular side effects, and that there was no skin trouble that can sometimes occur when suddenly switching cosmetics.
Cons
The moisturizing power is too weak. At first, even when I applied the cosmetics, it felt dry and stinging, as if I hadn't applied anything. Of course, after using it for about 2 weeks, I got used to it and don't feel that way anymore. But I'm worried about what will happen when winter comes.
Tip
The natural cosmetics are much cheaper than I expected. For pregnant women, it might be worth trying them out since they are non-toxic.

Pros
(Revised) This is the best skin lotion I've ever used. My skin has improved a lot since using it. I've had some trouble with acne from eating jelly occasionally, but I've never had any issues with this product. I plan to repurchase it once I finish the current bottle! I highly recommend it. I was worried about the alleged 'Hwahae Trial Reviewer' phenomenon, but I didn't experience that at all. I prefer unscented products, but this one has a light fragrance that's not overpowering, and I really like it!! I've only heard of Swaneco, but I might try their other products too. Summer is coming, and I've heard that sunscreens can be quite oily in the summer, but the one I'm using now doesn't seem to be that bad. It's a bit more shimmery than in spring and winter, though (when I use sunscreen). +(2016.1.1) I repurchased it! I'm not sure about the oiliness in summer - I don't really notice it since I'm in an air-conditioned school and don't sweat much. But yes, I love this product so much!
Cons
Bottle! It's a glass bottle! Handle it carefully, it's heavy haha. I almost broke it. +(2016.11.28) After using it for a long time, it's not great for makeup application :( Use a different base product. But if you just use it as a sunscreen, I recommend it. My skin got a bit problematic one day, not sure if it was because of the changing seasons, but I had some issues with my skin getting worse after using this, so I switched to something else.
