It's so effective that it almost feels like a medication. When my lips are cracked or chapped, applying this usually makes them feel better by the next day. This is an essential item for me ❤️
ConsIt's both an advantage and a disadvantage that this is a zero-waste product with a paper container. I started using it because of the paper packaging, but carrying it around and the container getting worn or having to push the product out can be inconvenient at first.
TipWhen my lips are cracked or the corners of my mouth are split, generously applying this and sleeping with it on usually makes them feel better by the next day. It's great not just for my lips, but also for dry, itchy, or flaky skin.

About 4 years ago, it got particularly severe, and my lips would look wrinkled. A friend told me to apply lip balm regularly, so I did it consistently for about a year, and my lips improved dramatically. However, if I didn't apply the lip balm for about 30 minutes to an hour, the flaky skin would come back, and I would go through a lip balm every month for a few years. Even when my lips got a bit better, there was still a limit to how good they could get, until I started using the Monage Comfortable Balm, which completely improved my lips and made them easier to manage. Regular stick lip balms are usually 3.5-4.25g, but the Monage Multi Balm is 11-12g, so it's about 3 times the size, so even though it's more expensive, the larger volume makes it a reasonable purchase. I tried all 3 types of the Monage Multi Balm before they were sold on Hwahae. The Daily Balm is a bit firmer and applies thinner but feels lightweight, while the Comfortable Balm applies smoothly with an oil-like coating. Applying the Comfortable Balm to dry areas like lips, cuticles, elbows, and calves melts into the skin, softening and smoothing it. The Comfortable Balm doesn't completely prevent flaky skin on my lips, but it reduces it significantly, and the flakiness that does occur feels softer and easier to gently remove without causing any bleeding. The recent redesign of the bottom of the product has also improved the stability of the balm as it rises, making it easier to use. The application also feels even smoother than before. ※ With the redesign, the overall length is slightly shorter, but it has a cuter appearance. The Monage Multi Balm Another great thing about the Monage Multi Balm, unlike regular lip balms and lipsticks, is that you can use it all the way to the end without any waste.
ConsThe entire container is made of paper, so as you use it, the paper gets pressed down, oil seeps in, and it starts to look worn. Additionally, instead of twisting and lifting, you have to push up the bottom with your fingers, which can be inconvenient when opening and closing it. Previously, it was only available for purchase online and through zero-waste shops, but most of the zero-waste shops were located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, making it difficult for regular customers to easily visit and not well-known stores, resulting in low accessibility. Now, it seems to be starting sales on Hwahae as well, and online purchase is also possible through Lotte Duty Free, so the sales channels are gradually increasing, which is good.
TipIf you've used your finger to push it up and it won't go down, ➡️ tap the bottom of the Hwahae Trial Reviewer firmly on the floor, and it will gradually go down. If you keep using it this way, it will go down quickly. However, if it's difficult or inconvenient to do this outside, I recommend pushing it in by firmly pressing it against your lips or skin while using it. 🔸When using it for the first time, the center may be concave and the end may feel dry and thin, crumbling and not melting well, leaving a flaky feeling. ➡️ You can lightly melt the end just like burning off a loose thread with a lighter, and that worked well. However, sensitive people may briefly detect a slight smoky or gas-like scent. 🔸I'm currently using the pre-renewal Comfortable Balm, but it feels grainy and doesn't apply smoothly. ➡️ This is because the content of butter and oil-based ingredients like cocoa butter and shea butter is high... The best thing to do is to re-melt it and re-solidify it, but that can be a bit of a hassle. If you have a mini beaker, that's ideal, but you can also put the Comfortable Balm in a paper soju glass or straight liquor glass and melt it in the microwave while stirring. It won't work to just put the Hwahae Trial Reviewer in whole, as it won't melt. Crush it, melt it, and then take it out when it's almost fully melted but still has some unmelted parts - the residual heat will melt those. Then pour it back into the container, and it will return to a smooth, moisturizing state. Since the standard Hwahae Trial Reviewer size is quite large, you can pour it into small used lip balm containers for better portability after finishing the full-size one.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe application is much smoother than the previous product. It melts smoothly into the skin at skin temperature without feeling sticky or clumpy, and applies evenly without any lumps. When applied to the back of the hand, it maintains its initial state for about an hour. So when applied to dry areas of the face at night for moisturizing purposes, it does not feel tight until the next day and can maintain the previous skincare steps. Of course, as it is an ointment-type, there is some transfer, but the parts that have melted into the skin are maintained even when wiped with the palm of the hand. The soft ointment-type and stick form allow it to be applied without touching the product, which is a great advantage in terms of hygiene! I initially couldn't repurchase this product when it was first released, even though the product itself was good at protecting the skin barrier and providing good moisturizing and soothing effects, due to the inconvenience of the packaging. I remember the paper packaging completely melting and becoming crumbly and sticky towards the end, having to scoop it out with a spatula to use it. But this time, with the smooth application and the improved paper packaging, it's been great. Even after the renewal, the product performance is excellent. Among ointment-type products, this one feels comfortable on the skin, has excellent lasting power and moisturizing properties. There are no fragrances or colorants, so there's no aversion, and the minimal safe ingredients are also satisfactory. It also seems convenient to carry around in one hand.
ConsThis time, there's really nothing to be disappointed about. The part that you push to write, rather than rotating, is much smoother than last time, and it doesn't blot on the paper - it glides just right. So, it seems like you can use up the entire product without any waste, unlike the rotating plastic ones. I'm not sure about other products like Raumbam or Maeilbam, but I'm very satisfied with Pyeonhambam.
TipJust gently push up a little bit (4-5mm) to use only a small amount at a time. You can also put it on a little more every 3-4 days, and the lid is long enough to close it sufficiently. This can help maintain moisturizing and prevent stinging when applying skin lotion on areas that are bumpy, sensitive, or dry, or after exfoliating, on atopic skin, reddened and irritated skin, especially after being exposed to cold wind. Just swipe it on your lips twice and it will stay moisturized until the next day. Apply it gently by gliding it on. When I was younger, my atopic skin would get bumpy on my cheeks, especially when my hair products touched it or there was external stimulation. After using this for a few days, it improved a lot. As a base makeup tip, you can use this multi-balm to create a subtle glow underneath, then apply your cushion foundation on top for a radiant, porcelain-like complexion.

As it is also a vegan cosmetic product, and as a person with highly sensitive skin, the 100% natural ingredients were extremely satisfactory for me.
ConsSince it is an eco-friendly paper package, it gets dirty quickly.

The lightweight formula also allows me to apply it comfortably before meals. The paper packaging seems environmentally friendly.
ConsAs mentioned, the paper packaging is inconvenient as it cannot be twisted open. After use, I wanted to put the lip balm back in and close the lid, but that was difficult, and every time I tried to close the lid carefully to avoid damaging it, I couldn't apply the balm quickly. Additionally, as this is a new product, the indented center and the protruding outer ring make it uncomfortable to use as a lip balm, and the outer part breaks off in pieces.

My skin was extremely dry and sensitive in the winter, with some peeling around my lips, but after applying this balm, the peeling has significantly reduced.ㅎㅎㅎ +I was a bit worried that using it all over my face might cause breakouts, so I only applied it to my hands and around my lips! The fragrance is the familiar, unscented lip balm scent. It was not overpowering for someone like me who is sensitive to fragrances. Most importantly, you guys... Isn't the lip balm case so pretty...?? When I carry it around and use it, I keep getting compliments from my friends on how pretty the case is.ㅎㅎ The price point is a bit high, but it's a multi-purpose balm that considers the environment and cares for your skin...I recommend it..!!!
ConsThe product packaging being made of paper was fine, but I accidentally pushed it in once, and no matter how much I tried, it wouldn't go back in, so the end got all messed up.. I think this might be the biggest downside for me.🥲 The price is a bit high, even when I asked my friends and based on my own assessment, so that's a bit disappointing.

I was using it like a partial sleeping mask. 😃 I always felt tightness around the corners of my mouth and cheekbones when I woke up. I applied it to that area every day before sleeping, and even though I used it a bit thicker, the tightness completely went away and my skin became smooth - it was a whole new world☺️
ConsIt's a bit inconvenient that I have to manually remove it after applying. It leaks a little bit every time I close it. Since it's a paper-based product, I feel like I have to use it up quickly, which is a bit disappointing. ㅠ
TipApplying a generous amount to the areas that feel tight is a whole new world.

Thanks to that, I was able to freely use other lip products as well! 🙂 Moisturizing: It didn't feel heavy when applied and absorbed quickly, making it comfortable to use 🙂 Vegan: I used it with peace of mind since it's vegan
Cons🥺 Greasiness: While it was suitable for those with dry skin, my severe oiliness prevented me from using it on my skin 🥺 Fragrance: This was the decisive one-star reason!!! The faint paper-like and artificial fragrance made me hesitant to apply it at first. 🥺 Packaging: Being made of paper, the lid closing part became a bit tattered, and when the warmed product touched the paper during use, it felt like it was being absorbed a little
TipYou can use it when bleaching your eyebrows!! The stinging sensation went away quickly

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsIt's been a while since I last greeted you... It's me, Hisashiburi Long Time No See haha. When I was a university student, even though there were fewer products, I had more time, so I wrote quite a few reviews. But now, due to the nature of my job, I use too many products but don't have time to write reviews haha. Well, I'll just greet you briefly and quickly go write a review. This product is ironically one where the advantages become the disadvantages, and the disadvantages become the advantages. First, let me look at the advantages: 1. The use of an eco-friendly paper package. The concept is great. 2. Since the formula is hardened with wax, it applies smoothly. 3. As mentioned on the detailed homepage, the moisturizing power is good, as shiny as it is. 4. Since it's in a balm form, you don't get your hands dirty after applying it. 5. The giant whale and blue package are cute, and the concept is really good. 6. The price range of around 12,000 won seems reasonably priced?? haha
ConsLet's look at the disadvantages right away, which ironically go in the opposite direction of the advantages. 1. It's inevitable that the paper packaging is inconvenient. Especially since there's no dial, you have to manually raise and lower it, which is quite annoying. 2. Just as the product applies well, the contents also come off easily. The contents become a bit messy and fall off, which is a waste and, being in a paper package, makes me a bit irritated when opening and closing it!!!! 3. It's true that the moisturizing power is good, but that's because it has oil-friendly ingredients and no water-friendly ingredients! In other words, there's no aqueous phase and only an oily phase, so the moisturizing power is good, but it leaves an oily glow, not a dewy one!!! To put it positively, it leaves a glossy finish. 4. It's a night-time container that doesn't get your hands dirty, but since the contents become a bit messy, you can't help but use your hands ㅋㅋㅋ 5. The packaging is cute, but generally, regular lip balms or balm products are prettier. And when I first received the product, it honestly looked like the firecrackers I played with as a kid ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 6. This is because I'm a researcher, but 12,000 won for 10g is... hmm...
TipI'm not sure what kind of tip to write. But just in case someone is curious about where I'm using this product, I've been applying it to the calluses on my heels lately!! I used to use a panthenol cream, but I've replaced it with this one!! And while it may seem a bit random, most night products are quite expensive, but the price range for night-type products is actually quite high in the current market. If you want to use cosmetics with good value for money, I'd highly recommend the general tube-type products! And while it's a bit strange for a researcher to say this, but cosmetics are all pretty much the same, so as long as you avoid really bad products, they're all pretty similar haha. Just check the ingredients and if it seems okay, go for the cheaper option!

The unique paper packaging with a balm-like interior was a pleasant surprise, giving the impression of an environmentally conscious product. When I first applied it to my lips, the texture felt similar to the lip balms I'm used to - smooth and gliding on effortlessly. The scent was almost non-existent, with just a subtle, slightly waxy aroma.
ConsThe downside was that the product arrived in a somewhat dry, dehydrated state. There was an initial discomfort when using it for the first time. The product has a recessed bottom, allowing for manual adjustment of the amount dispensed, but the stiff paper material may confuse first-time users on the proper application method.
TipAs a multi-purpose balm, I'm looking forward to using it on various parts of my skin. I initially tried it as a lip balm, but the larger size seemed more suitable for application on the skin rather than just the lips. Given that it's winter, the stick format makes it easy to glide the product onto my skin, including areas like the eye contour and other easily chapped spots. The generous volume is also convenient, as the compact size allows for easy storage and portability.
