It absorbs well and feels lightweight on application. Given that it's an essence, meant to be used between toner and emulsion or toner and cream, I really enjoyed how it felt on my skin. It's a solid, no-frills essence that gets the job done.
ConsWhile it seems to provide some hydration, I couldn't notice any plumping effects at all. I received this as a gift, and while it's decent enough, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to purchase it myself. It's just... okay.

It feels like it creates a moisture barrier, leaving the skin hydrated. Kiehl's is really generous with samples. Is it a store-by-store policy? They gave me around 30-40 samples, not just of this but also their Facial Moisturizer and various other products.
ConsDespite using nearly 40 samples, I wasn't particularly impressed by the product's effectiveness. It's marketed as an anti-aging volume essence, but I didn't notice any... The plumping effect was imperceptible. Although it claims to be 'deeply hydrating', I didn't feel it provided exceptional moisture. Disappointingly, it lacks common hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid (it relies solely on glycerin), and the antioxidant perilla leaf extract is at the bottom of the ingredient list. Quite disappointing, to be honest.
TipWhile it's marketed as an anti-aging volume essence that provides hydration, I think there are many other essences available that are not only more affordable but also have superior ingredients. It might be worth exploring other products instead.

It absorbs well and has an excellent texture. Makeup applies smoothly over it. I've been using this product for several bottles now.
ConsThe only downside is that it's on the pricier side. Other than that, no complaints.

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.ProsIt looks thick at first glance, but it absorbs into the skin so well due to its amazing texture. It applies smoothly and leaves a clean finish! The formula itself feels like it's holding moisture, so as soon as you apply it, you get an instant hydration boost with a cooling effect on the skin's surface.
ConsAfter application, the incompatible silicone-based ingredients irritated my skin, causing itchiness. I thought it might get better after a while, but unfortunately... the itching got worse, so I had to wash it off. It seems this product just doesn't suit my skin :(
TipFirst, try applying only a small amount as it may not be suitable for all skin types.

It feels like it transforms into water as you spread it on. It's so hydrating that you don't need to apply an additional emulsion - this essence alone keeps your skin moisturized.
ConsIt seems like it would suit all skin types. However, the downside is that the quantity is quite small compared to its price.

ConsGlycerin mixed with silicone and propanediol, and they call it anti-aging??? 80,000 won for one bottle???? Where's their conscience? The silicone makes me hesitant to use it at night, and the propanediol makes it too oily for daytime use. Do we even need to use this? Might as well just slap some glycerin on your face.
TipI've tried Kiehl's moisturizer, Vitamin C serum, and this. If you look into brands focused on functionality like Sidmool, Isoi, or The Ordinary, you can find products with the same (often better) ingredients for a quarter of the price. Oh, and their lip balm? It's just Vaseline with fragrance added, so you might as well just buy Vaseline.

ConsI understand that the container design prevents getting every last drop out, but it feels like there's more product left. The price-to-value ratio is a bit steep.

The texture is velvety smooth, creating a thin protective moisture barrier without any stickiness. It's incredibly gentle on the skin.
ConsThe price is high for the amount you get, and it seems to lack the anti-aging benefits I expected. The firming effect doesn't last very long. Due to its high moisture content, it can cause slight pilling with makeup.

It doesn't cause pilling when applying makeup, making it an excellent choice for morning skincare routines.
ConsWhile the price is on the higher side, a single pump goes a long way, so it should last longer than expected.
