Pros
It's great for dry skin and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth! The lack of fragrance is also a plus.
Cons
It's a bit lightweight to use on its own, so additional moisturizing products are necessary.

Pros
I've been using it as a boosting essence in my 20s and 30s. The fragrance is not overbearing, and the watery texture makes it easy to apply like a toner. For those who sweat a lot, this could be enough on its own during the summer.
Cons
For those with dry skin, the moisturizing effect may feel a bit weak, but it doesn't seem to be the main focus.

Pros
I had tried a sample of this product when it first came out, and liked it so much that I ended up purchasing the full-size version. It's been around for about 10 years, and it's still popular, which shows that it's a pretty decent product. Since it's a fermented cosmetic, it has a subtle yogurt-like scent. The texture is runny, but it absorbs quickly into the skin. The instructions say to use an amount the size of a 500 won coin, but I actually use a more generous amount, sometimes even applying it twice. Despite the thin texture, it's surprisingly moisturizing. As a dry-skinned person, I have to use an emulsion and cream, and even add an oil in the winter. But there have been times when I forgot to apply the emulsion after using the toner and this essence, and I didn't even notice my skin feeling dry, only realizing it later when I applied the rest of my skincare routine. It's not heavy, but it's moisturizing, and it absorbs quickly without any stickiness.
Cons
The high price and the tendency to use up the product quickly. And for those who don't do well with fermented cosmetics, I recommend trying a sample first before deciding.

Pros
The non-sticky and refreshing feel is so great. The scent is also wonderful~ The absorption is also good~
Cons
It's a bit dry, but since I'm not the type to apply many products, when I only use the essence, it seems to get dry quickly. But it's a product I've been using for a few bottles!

Pros
I've been using it consistently from my 20s to mid-30s. Even when I tried other products, I always end up coming back to this one. If you apply the right amount and let it absorb well into the skin, it keeps my skin moisturized all day long. My stubborn acne has significantly improved, and it's non-irritating with a pleasant fragrance.
Cons
If you apply too much, it can make your skin feel greasy.
Tip
Scoop out a small amount, rub it between your palms, then gently press and pat it into your face to help it absorb well.

Pros
I don't know if it's because I've become so familiar with this scent just by breathing it, but whenever I smell it, I feel like 'Ah, this is a healthy cosmetic product.' It gives me that kind of feeling.
Cons
Nope :( When you apply it, it provides great moisture and nourishment to the skin. The high price might be a downside, though.
Tip
When it's all smooth and supple, your skin will be reborn into a wonderful complexion!!

Pros
1. It has great moisturizing and nourishing properties!! I apply the essence after toner and finish with a moisturizer. I don't need to use a separate lotion or emulsion, as the essence alone makes my skin feel plump and great. 2. It has a nice fragrance. 3. The amount is easy to control.
Cons
1. The packaging is too heavy. It's a glass bottle, so it would be too bulky to carry around when traveling. I wish the packaging was lighter. 2. The price is quite high compared to the amount.

Pros
I used to not get along well with fermented essences, but this one doesn't have an overpowering scent and has visibly improved my skin texture, so after finishing the gift set, I purchased the large size and have been using it.
Cons
There's really nothing disappointing about this product. It's a reliable essence.
Tip
It's great to keep it in the fridge and use it chilled, and to apply it with a cotton pad as a pack.
