Pros
It felt good as if I was applying lotion, and just using this one product made my skin feel soft and smooth.
Cons
There were some downsides though.. It stung a bit, not sure if it was because of my sensitive skin or the lemon extract.. And I would sometimes get a pimple or two on days when my skin wasn't in the best condition, seems like it didn't agree with some of the ingredients.

Pros
It is moisturizing, and it felt nice and supple when I applied it, but it just didn't work for me... what a bummer.
Cons
I'm not particularly sensitive, and I've only had one or two products that didn't work for me before, but now I've added another one. After applying it, my face started feeling really stingy, and it lasted for about two days. It wasn't something I had to think about all day, but it kept stinging whenever I washed my face or applied other products. I gave the rest to my mom...

Pros
I used about two bottles - one 50ml and one 150ml that I purchased duty-free. The 50ml was used up quickly, so if your skin type suits it, I'd recommend the 150ml. It's easy to use without any burden. It's non-sticky, so you can use it as a mist or a pack. The natural fragrance is also pleasant and doesn't cause any aversion when applying. The glass bottle design is also pretty.
Cons
It seems to lack functionality for being used without burden. The moisturizing effect is not very noticeable. Since it's not a pump type, it feels a bit heavy to use. My skin type has suddenly become very sensitive recently, so it stings a bit when I apply it, so I'm not using it for now.
Tip
It's good to use before applying an emulsion. Using it with a watery toner doesn't seem to matter much in terms of order. I've tried making a pack with cotton pads and using it occasionally, and it's been fine.

Pros
It is an easily absorbed type and seems to well control dryness despite being oily. I have repurchased it multiple times.
Cons
My skin condition is sensitive and it stings when I apply it on bad skin days.

Pros
It absorbs quickly, which is great. It's moisturizing and non-sticky, which I like.
Cons
It may be sensitive, as the scent is a bit disappointing. I had to stop using it after two days because I broke out. It caused stinging and small bumps to appear. It's not great for sensitive skin.

Pros
My skin is dry, but there's no dryness or tightness, so it's just perfect for me.
Cons
It's not often, but sometimes it can be a bit stinging. It seems to happen more when I don't use a cotton pad and just apply it directly.
Tip
Apply the skin, lotion, and cream after your full nighttime routine, not in the morning. When you wake up, your skin will feel soft and supple! Apply it at night, not during the day.

Pros
... I don't have it ㅠㅠ I usually don't write reviews, but my face is a mess.. Absolutely don't use it if you have sensitive skin
Cons
Wow.. really.. the same bad review phenomenon happened here.. I thought I would be fine, but I'm shivering... It was fine for the first day or two, but from the 3rd day, the area around my eyes started to swell and there was some rough, irritated something around my eyes... I thought maybe I ate something wrong or had an allergy, but using it more caused the trouble to spread further, just like the other review photos... Absolutely don't use it ㅠㅠ
Tip
Don't use it if you have sensitive skin ㅠㅠ Let's not challenge our skin ㅜㅠ

Pros
I used it generously and frequently. After the initial week of stinging, it became very comfortable for daily use. I recommend trying the sample first before purchasing. I've been using it for over 5 years now^^
Cons
There is a stinging sensation when first using it. I recommend trying the sample for at least a week. It took me about 2 weeks before it became comfortable.

Pros
I was glad that it was fragrance-free. The products that came into contact with my face are quite sensitive to scents, but there was no irritation at all.
Cons
My skin was completely messed up... There was a stinging sensation when I applied it, but the store said that it could happen if the skin is dehydrated, so I endured it and applied it for about 3 weeks.... But then redness and small pimples appeared, and everything was a mess. It was really difficult for me to recover from that. Sob, sob.
