Hydrating

I've been using this for several bottles now, but my complexion hasn't brightened as I hoped. I had some expectations, but...

The hydration effect seems really good. I'm generously applying this product with great ingredients using the 3-skin method. It's excellent value for money!

이니셜 트리트먼트 에센스

- Use it generously as an exfoliating toner, for the 7-skin method, and so on.

- Since there are no additives, it seems like it needs to be used quickly (no preservatives).
- That's why you need to apply it generously, whether doing a 7-skin or 3-skin method.
- Due to the nature of galactomyces, it might be considered a drawback that you need to use it consistently for a long time to see effects, rather than immediate results.
- I haven't found any other drawbacks yet. I'll add more if I find any after using it longer.

- I love that it's a pure product without any additives, 100% genuine.
- As a budget-friendly toner, I find it more hydrating to do a 3-skin method with this than a 7-skin method with others.
- Keeping it in the bathroom and applying right after cleansing, I'm starting to see results these days.
- My complexion has brightened.
- It absorbs really well.
- The hydration lasts for a long time.
- The value for money is fantastic, and I love that it comes in a glass bottle.

There's not really anything to complain about. Sometimes I wonder about its preservation ability since it doesn't contain preservatives, but I haven't experienced any blemishes while using it.

Comparable to SK-II Pitera Essence, without a doubt. Being colorless and odorless, it's gentle on the skin. The absorption is similar to a regular toner. The price is so good that I don't hesitate to buy 2-3 bottles at a time during social media sales.

It's great for skin concerns if you soak the sheet mask thoroughly and apply it to your face, or mix it with a vitamin-rich product on a cotton pad and place it on problem areas.

It seems to run out quickly because it absorbs so fast. I wish it came in a larger size.

I love this product since fermented cosmetics work well for me. The simple ingredient list allows it to focus on its core function! The price point is great too, so I can use it without worry, which adds to my satisfaction. My complexion seems to be improving and my skin texture is becoming smoother.

There are absolutely no downsides. None whatsoever. Nothing negative to report at all.

This product is truly amazing! I've only been using it for two days, but my pores have already disappeared, my skin texture has become smoother, and my skin feels incredibly soft. I'll need to use it for at least a month to see how well it works on blemishes, but so far I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. It's like some kind of magic potion!

While there aren't any major drawbacks, it's slightly lacking in hydration. Those with dry skin might need to pair it with other more emollient products, especially during winter months.

I apply this right after cleansing, and it feels refreshing while refining my skin texture. It's a single-ingredient product with a mild fragrance that isn't too irritating. The affordable price makes it great for generous use.

My skin used to be really clear, but after using this for a week to a month, my once blemish-free complexion became covered in acne... It's driving me crazy.

Nothing positive to say... Though I will admit the price is more affordable compared to other brands.

The only slight drawback is that it either absorbs too quickly or evaporates - I'm not sure which. After applying, it dries up almost immediately, so I need to reapply it three or four times in layers to get enough coverage.

After having a baby, my face would turn extremely red when I sweat or after washing. I've tried many products claiming to be gentle and good, but I couldn't find anything as effective as this. When I apply it right after washing my face, it eliminates redness completely. It's amazing!

For best results, try soaking a cotton pad with the product and using it as a mask.

Since I have dry skin, I find that applying a generous amount works better for hydration than using just a little.

As an expectant mother, I'm continuing to use this product because of its gentle ingredients. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and gives me a brighter complexion.

The 7-skin toner works great for both dry and oily skin types.
Dry skin types can mix a few drops of a face oil in a mist bottle and use it together to eliminate tightness.

I don't understand why most galactomyces essences come in glass bottles.
They're too heavy and inefficient.
I wish they would just come in a lightweight case.
I don't like the style of the opening.
It's fine when I use it with a cotton pad, but not great for direct application.

I recently bought a popular 7-skin toner.
The price is affordable (much cheaper than the official website and they often have sales).
It's a perfect water-type toner for the 7-skin method.
Even oily skin types can use it comfortably.
Dry skin types can mix it with a face oil for even better results.
