Personally, I prefer products that apply smoothly and feel hydrating rather than thick and heavy, so I liked that aspect. However,
ConsWhile it didn't cause any blemishes, it was extremely drying. The deep dryness was so severe that my skin felt tight every time I moved my mouth. I also didn't care for the scent, which reminded me of traditional herbal medicine. Not recommended for dry skin types.

It's fairly hydrating. 2. Occasionally, you can snag it at a great price during buy-one-get-one-free promotions. 3. While I didn't notice any dramatic effects, it didn't cause any blemishes either.
Cons1. It had absolutely no effect. I was introduced to galactomyces through this product, but even after using three bottles, I saw no significant results. I thought maybe galactomyces just didn't suit my skin. However, when I tried a 6,900 won galactomyces product from Isol, I saw immediate effects. The next morning during cleansing, my skin felt incredibly soft! I've finished a bottle of the Isol product and recently opened another bottle of this one that I had stocked up on last year, but as expected, it's still ineffective. I used three bottles consistently, believing it would work over time, but in the end, I just wasted my money. 2. It's overpriced. The Isol product is 100% galactomyces and costs 6,900 won for 50ml. Missha's is over 30,000 won for 150ml. 3. It has a fermented smell, which some say is normal, but to me, it smells like alcohol. Like makgeolli. The Isol product doesn't have this smell. 4. It stings if it gets in your eyes. This is characteristic of galactomyces, though it's less intense than the Isol product. Because it's expensive and I didn't see much benefit, I'll use up what I have but won't be repurchasing.
TipI sometimes use it as a toner substitute after cleansing, applying it with a cotton pad and gently patting it in, or I put it in a mist bottle to spray it on.

Even high-end brands like Hera Cell Essence can have issues, so it's impressive that this affordable brand is well-made and effective. Although I still have some left, I'll likely repurchase because it's so hydrating and pleasant to use.
ConsThere don't seem to be any major drawbacks, but I noticed the scent changed slightly after opening, as if it had fermented a bit.
TipAfter cleansing, I apply it with a cotton pad right in the bathroom before stepping out.

I always use this followed by just an emulsion.
ConsThe alcohol scent is a bit too strong for my liking. If it weren't for the smell, I wouldn't have any complaints!
TipNothing in particular to add.

When the seasons changed, my face was covered in dead skin cells. After applying this generously on a cotton pad and wiping my face for just 3 days, my skin texture became remarkably smooth! I find it works better when used with a cotton pad to wipe rather than just letting it absorb. It's also great that it's not sticky, so you can use it year-round regardless of the season.
ConsThe scent has a unique, slightly sour note that's quite distinctive. Unfortunately, everyone around me dislikes the fragrance so much that they won't use it.

ConsConsidering it was advertised as a budget version of SK2 Pitera Essence, it's surprisingly disappointing. The fragrance is overpowering, and it gives a strange tingling sensation when applied, making it hard to recommend.

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.ProsWhen I first used it, the results were amazing (personal experience). I was going through a period with quite a few blemishes, but after using this for a few days, they all calmed down. It was absolutely fantastic. The texture is light, so I think it would be great for summer and early fall. It provides just the right amount of hydration.
ConsIt's a bit too liquid, so when you pour it out, it gushes out quickly, which was disappointing. It was hard to control the amount. After using it for a month or two, I started getting small bumps. When the bumps appear, I stop using it, and when they subside, I use it again. Also, the smell is really unpleasant... Probably because it's a fermented product. First-time users might find it off-putting. When I first used it, I thought I was putting foot odor on my face! The scent seems particularly strong compared to other brands. If you have super sensitive skin, I recommend testing it at the store first.
TipThere seems to be a big difference between applying it with your hands and using a cotton pad. I found it works better when you soak a cotton pad and use that to apply it.

I bought it cheaply in a random box deal, so I used it well enough.
ConsAfter applying, there's an unpleasant smell on my hands. They call it a fermented scent, but to me it's just an off-putting odor.

I've lost count of how many bottles I've gone through! It keeps my skin texture moisturized and has a nice brightening effect.
ConsWell... I've recommended it to many friends, and while they liked most aspects, a common complaint was the overwhelming scent.
TipIt's quite affordable when you catch it on sale.

ConsThe scent is a bit funky due to the fermented yeast ingredients, haha!
