Pros
For those with dry skin in the summer, it can be burdensome to rely solely on rich creams to replenish moisture. In the summer, I make sure to apply an essence, and this one is full of hydration! It's a gel-type, not a water-type, so it leaves the skin feeling plump. The ingredients are good, the price is reasonable, and the amount is generous, making it perfect for using throughout the summer. Other products I've tried tend to run out a bit too quickly during the summer season.
Cons
There is a slight stickiness to it... The reviews mentioned this as well, so I took it into account when purchasing, but the stickiness does linger until it's fully absorbed.

Pros
I bought this based on a YouTuber's recommendation, and I feel like it's helping to hydrate my skin.
Cons
I bought it, but there were foreign particles in the essence, so I returned it.... I noticed it after using it about twice. When I apply it, it feels really sticky. If I put it on before doing my makeup, it seems like it would all just slide off.

Pros
The skin felt supple and absorbed well, so I liked it. It seems good to use casually! I recommend it to those with dry skin.
Cons
It felt quite sticky right after use. So I don't recommend applying too much before makeup. But it was fine after some time had passed after applying the cream.
Tip
After cleansing, I applied the essence evenly, and for the reddish areas, I dabbed the essence-soaked cotton pad on them once more, then waited a bit before applying the cream. The redness subsided a lot!

Pros
It's moisturizing, but it doesn't last long. The volume is very large compared to the amount used, so it seems like it will last for two to three months.
Cons
The more you pat and apply, the less it absorbs and the stickier it gets. I'm not sure if it's because of the hyaluronic acid, but it leaves a sticky feeling on the skin even after applying two pumps. I don't think I'll repurchase it after finishing this. Aside from the stickiness, it's just an average product. I don't recommend it for oily skin types in the summer... It feels moisturizing at first, but then it ends up sucking out the moisture from my skin...It gets too dry even after just an hour.
Tip
If you mix this with rosehip oil and apply it over your moisturizer, the stickiness seems to disappear a bit.

Pros
The slip is good and the more you pat it, the more taut it becomes, to the point where the skin sticks to your hands. It doesn't cause any trouble and fills in moisture, which is great! I also used it before makeup and it didn't slide off! I'd recommend it if you have dry skin!
Cons
The usage feel is something that may divide opinions, as patting it in makes it feel taut or sticky. (And this doesn't last very long!) I think it might be too heavy for oily skin or in the hot and humid summer!

Pros
Hmm.. First of all, it's gentle! And since the ingredients are good, the chances of your skin turning upside down or anything like that are pretty much non-existent.
Cons
I'm not quite sure about the merits of this product.. Despite the name, it doesn't seem to provide any moisture at all. It's not drying or irritating or anything, but it just seems completely useless..? And it's really sticky... I know stickiness is a characteristic of hyaluronic acid products, but this is a bit too much. When you try to pat it in to absorb it, your skin just sticks to your hands. And because of that, the next product you apply doesn't get absorbed at all. If you put a heavier formula on top of this, you're just asking for trouble.

Pros
It's moisturizing and gentle. When I used hyaluronic acid toners from other products, they were quickly absorbed and felt a bit dry beyond just being soft. But this product is an essence, so I definitely feel a protective barrier forming.
Cons
Ah... One moisturizer alone wasn't enough for my dryness, and I heard hyaluronic acid is good for strengthening the skin barrier and providing moisture, so I tried it. But it didn't work for me. I tested it on the inside of my arm and neck before using, and it was fine. But actually, after using it for about a day, I felt a hot, flushed sensation on my cheeks. I hoped it wasn't because of this, but when I woke up, my cheeks were severely reddened. I don't usually get redness, even when very dry, so I guess it just didn't agree with me. It is moisturizing, but it's sticky. Those who dislike stickiness should take note!
Tip
This might be too light for use during seasonal changes or winter for dry skin types. It doesn't have any moisturizing properties, just hydration. So I'd recommend using a heavier moisturizing cream as well. Be sure to patch test, as the hyaluronic acid may not agree with everyone. Even combination and oily skin types can have dry cheeks, so I'd recommend using a cream or lotion as well.

Pros
It's really moisturizing. At first, it feels a bit sticky and heavy when applied, but that gets absorbed quickly, leaving my skin feeling soft and supple.
Cons
I was a bit surprised by the sticky feeling when I first applied it. I was worried it wouldn't get absorbed.
