After applying the essence, let it absorb for a bit before using a more oil-rich product

You definitely need to buy a separate oil to use with this. It's best to think of it as a toner rather than a full moisturizer

My skin feels firmer and plumper, and I don't develop a tolerance even with long-term use

갈락토미세스 95 화이트 파워 에센스

Pat it in for better absorption. Use it consistently before makeup as it may pill sometimes. It works wonders with regular use.

Nothing bad to say. Please don't reformulate it. And don't increase the price.

Great for brightening and improving complexion. It gives a feeling of softening skin texture. There's no product that matches this quality for the price. A must-buy for those with sensitive combination skin and thin, delicate skin. It's reminiscent of the watery essence feel of Dr. Jart+ Mizu-no-tenshi Essence.

It's great to pump it onto your cheeks and apply before it drips. Let's hope they don't add weird ingredients trying to improve the formula. This one's perfect as is!

There are no cons, but they keep asking for at least 20 characters. Don't complain about the packaging, folks. When a product is good, us consumers adapt to use it.

My skin is super sensitive. Even the ladies who manage laser treatments at dermatology clinics flock to see how badly my skin reacts. That's why I've been a skincare nomad, searching for good products. But for essences, I think I've found 'the one'... It's so gentle, and I'm pregnant now with terrible blemishes on my cheeks. When I apply this at night, by morning those blemishes have magically shrunk. I'm 10000000% going to repurchase this. You all should try it, seriously, try it twice!

Make sure to only apply this before going to bed! It's crucial!

I absolutely wouldn't recommend applying this before putting on makeup. One time when I was in a rush, I applied it and went out, only to find my makeup pilling and looking terrible. It was a disaster!

It feels like applying a mist as if it were an essence! When I apply it before bed, my skin feels wonderfully hydrated in the morning. The product is also fragrance-free, which is great!

It's a good idea to test if galactomyces ferment works for you with an affordable product like this first. Some people can have severe reactions to fermented ingredients, so I bought it as a test product but ended up continuing to use it.

It has a slightly sticky feeling. Although it has a watery consistency, it feels a bit sticky and slippery, like glue? It seems to work better if you apply it after your toner. Make sure to pat it in thoroughly.

The price is really affordable! It's one of the cheapest essences containing galactomyces. Despite that, it seems to have a high concentration of active ingredients as I saw quick improvements in my skin texture. I plan to keep using it consistently!

The texture is quite thick and takes time to absorb, but then suddenly sinks in. It's best to give yourself a face massage while it's still in that thick state. Rather than using it before makeup, I'd recommend applying it before bed.

The intense firming sensation can make the skin feel a bit dry. When applying, it feels sticky and takes a while to absorb, but then suddenly sinks in, leaving the skin feeling dry. If used before makeup, it might cause some pilling.

My complexion definitely looks brighter, and after applying, there's a noticeable firming effect that makes my skin feel plump and lifted. On hot days like these, for someone with oily summer skin like me, it's enough to just use a toner, this gem, and an eye cream.

I initially tried a sample and loved it so much that I bought the full-size product. However, the full-size version doesn't seem to perform as well as the sample did. It's a bit disappointing.

Despite its watery texture, which might make you think it lacks moisturizing power, it's surprisingly effective. Once applied and absorbed, it leaves your skin feeling plump and hydrated. What's great is that it provides hydration without feeling oily, making it perfect for those with oily skin during drier seasons.

After applying, I immediately feel a tightening sensation, but I'm not sure if it's dryness or a lifting effect. It feels like it's firming up the skin. Since this is an essence, following up with a cream is a must. I wish they'd release an all-in-one emulsion with the same ingredients but more hydrating! I haven't seen any brightening or complexion improvement effects yet since I haven't been using it for long. I'm still hopeful though!

I've been using this for two weeks and saw improvements in dead skin cell removal, increased elasticity, and refined skin texture. My skin texture has truly, truly improved! I'm extremely satisfied. It's achieved holy grail status - I highly recommend it! It absorbs incredibly fast and leaves a soft, matte finish. I'm 200% going to repurchase. The ingredients are absolutely amazing! The quantity is generous, so I apply it liberally and even use it on my body.

If not patted in thoroughly for proper absorption, it can cause makeup to pill and emphasize dead skin cells.

Absorbs quickly and spreads thinly with ease. However, skin still feels dry after application, requiring additional emulsion or cream.

Use it liberally in the first step of your skincare routine, like a first essence or toner.

While it's gentle and doesn't cause blemishes, which is great, I'm not so sure about its ability to even skin tone. It's hard to expect dramatic results. If anything, it's more helpful for hydration.

It's incredibly gentle with minimal irritation. The price isn't burdensome, so I apply it generously without holding back. The ingredient composition is excellent - simple, without unnecessary additives. That's why it rarely causes blemishes.

The texture is a bit slippery, so you need to pat it in to help it absorb well.

I definitely noticed my complexion brightening after application. It left my skin feeling more hydrated than I expected. I appreciated that it didn't have any noticeable fragrance.
