I don't think there's anything disappointing. It would be great if there were more sales.

It's an essence, but the texture is a bit watery~I've been using the Doctoryong one and after applying it, it feels so moisturizing and great. And I bought it at a really low price when it was on sale. I've already purchased my third bottle and I want to repurchase it after I finish this one!!

고투콜라플러스 에센스

I'm not sure if the issue is with this cosmetic product or if it's just my problematic skin that gets dry no matter what I apply.

I got to try it out thanks to the event. Ohh~~ I've been using it well so far.

After cleansing, wipe off the moisture roughly and use it.
As a combination skin, if you do that, the skin feels good
The clear feeling may make you feel that it is not fully absorbed into the skin if you apply too much.
At first, I applied a lot, and in the morning when I washed my face, I felt that it was not completely absorbed into the skin
In conclusion, even a small amount is enough to see the effect

There were no special troubles
Those who need to be careful may not like it very much, as it feels almost oily-free, like a clear transparent liquid
Wish the volume was a little bigger

Preferred feel - Less sticky
Moisturizing power that does not float on the skin
Good without fragrance (artificial fragrance is troublesome)
Short expiration date is good.
Can be used by adjusting the amount with the dropper
The case design that cares about the part that can be deteriorated by exposure to ultraviolet rays in an opaque container
The design is also good

 It might be too drying for dry skin ~
You need to apply a lotion or cream right after using this ~

 The ingredients are good ~ It's a flowing essence, so it's not sticky ~
It seems suitable for oily skin ~

The packaging doesn't seem to break easily, but since it's glass, I have to be very careful when using it

It's just really good
I apply this and the next day, my skin is well-organized and makeup applies well
And I don't need a separate peeling product either
I'm going to repurchase it

The cream is also good! ㅋㅋ
I want to write a review, but the cream hasn't been registered yet.

The formula is like water, so you have to drop it with the dropper and rub it in quickly!
If you don't, it will all flow out and go down your throat...ㅜㅠ

First, I bought it very cheaply on social media as a set with the cream, so the price was the best! ㅋㅋ
I have extremely sensitive skin, and sometimes my skin suddenly becomes red and irritated after showering, but when I apply this, it seems to calm down a bit. ㅎㅎ
As for the other ingredients and effects, since I've only been using it for less than a month, it's hard to say for sure if there are any effects, but the calming effect seems to be definite. ㅎㅎ

The liquid dropper-type packaging makes it easy to use too much product. If it came in a regular skin toner bottle, I could probably use the right amount.

At first, it was too watery and thin, making it inconvenient to apply. However, as I got used to it, it became somewhat usable.
During the first few weeks, my skin felt tight right after applying it, like just rinsing with plain water. But after using it for a few months, my skin felt plump and supple after applying it post-shower.

Since this is a cosmetic product, not a medication, I don't expect miraculous effects. But I think this is a good option for light, non-irritating use.

The disappointing thing is that in my case, apart from just having some things come up on my face, I didn't really see any major effects... I'll have to use it more consistently to see

The best thing is the ingredients haha
It's a liquid type so the application is very smooth and the absorption is also quite good
While using it, there was absolutely no breakout or anything like that, so I felt it was very gentle

It might be fine in the summer as it doesn't feel sticky. But the very runny viscosity means you have to apply it looking up at the sky... Other people say it gets better over time, but even after using it for 2 months with 2 bottles I still feel like my skin lacks moisture.

It's matte... You have to immediately follow up with the next step of your routine, you can't wait as your skin feels tight... Personally, I don't like the very runny formula.

It has a watery viscosity and quick absorption, it's not irritating, the packaging is cute and the dropper format is neat. It seems suitable for oily skin. It's known for being a non-irritating essence with good ingredients.

I've been using it for 2 months, but I haven't really found any inconvenient aspects yet^^

I was having trouble getting rid of my blemishes, so I was searching for a gentle product when I came across this one.
What was surprising was that my blemishes disappeared after switching to this product.
I've been using it well up until now.
When it runs out, I'll definitely purchase it again.
