However, the 3-Second Hydrating Starter has not caused any sensitivity issues for me at all!! Instead, it helps protect my skin's moisture barrier, which I really appreciate. And most importantly, it offers great value for the price!! I've been using it morning and night for over 6 months, and a small amount goes a long way in covering my entire face.
Cons1. Packaging design I'm on my 4th bottle of this product, but the consistent pump-style packaging can be frustrating when the pump malfunctions and the product doesn't dispense properly. I wish the brand offered alternative packaging options, like a squeeze tube or a jar-style toner, which might be more user-friendly. 2. Lack of absorption into cotton pads I find that the product doesn't absorb very well into cotton pads, so it doesn't effectively cleanse or tone my skin when I use it that way. The product tends to just sit on top of the cotton rather than being properly absorbed.
TipI like to keep this product in my bathroom and apply it right after washing my face, while my skin is still damp. This helps the product absorb better and maintain my skin's moisture levels without leaving a heavy, sticky feeling.

ConsThe fragrance is too strong, and there are way too many questionable ingredients..

If I apply it right after cleansing when there's still a bit of moisture left, it helps retain that moisture until I apply my other skincare products.
ConsWhen I use it during times when my skin smells or is in poor condition, it makes me feel like my skin is getting even worse.

But ever since I started using the 3-Second Hydrating Starter, my skin has become much less oily! Plus, it's left my skin feeling so moisturized. I consider this product a holy grail in my skincare routine.
ConsFor those with dry skin, you may need to apply additional moisturizers alongside this product.

Perhaps it's because it provides an extra layer of moisture to the skin...? In any case, my makeup applies well and the moisturized feeling lasts longer than when I only used a skin lotion.
ConsWhether it's there or not, it's all the same! The claims about the product making the makeup apply well or the moisturized feeling lasting longer cannot be experienced when using this product alone. The synergistic effect is seen when using this product together with the basic skincare products that suit your skin, rather than using it on its own.

I keep it in the bathroom, wash my face, wipe off the moisture, and apply it right away. Compared to not using anything, it definitely seems to increase the moisture. There are also products with vitamins and collagen, but after trying them, I found that the one with hyaluronic acid works the best. It's Holika's flagship product. It's great because the effect is good compared to the price.
ConsThere wasn't much to be disappointed about while using it. But after checking on Hwahae, I saw that there are a lot of bad ingredients, so I'm a bit disappointed. If I find an even better product, I think I'll switch to that.
TipIt's best to apply it right away before the moisture on your face evaporates completely.

ConsThe moisturizing effect was only temporary, and it actually made my skin feel drier and tighter. After checking on Hwahae, I saw that it contains a lot of bad ingredients... The overall skin feel was not good, and I definitely don't want to buy it again.

It's lightweight and in a pumping format, so it's good for hygiene^.^ My dry skin feels soft and smooth.
ConsHowever, it doesn't feel extremely moisturizing. It doesn't seem to absorb very well... The pumping mechanism breaks down often :( I didn't know, but it seems the ingredients aren't all that great, which is unfortunate :(

I used to have a lot of tightness because I didn't properly moisturize with a skin lotion, but after using this, it's so hydrating ㅎㅎ I've repurchased it three times already and plan to buy it again this week.
ConsBut there are a lot of bad products on Hwahae, so I'm worried ㅠㅠ
TipApplying it after cleansing feels amazing, so soft and smooth.

It's also easy to quickly replenish moisture.
ConsTo be honest, I don't really feel any significant effects. It's just like I applied something.
