This is the third product. It is a creamy, watery lotion-type oil essence. The application is smooth, and it moisturizes dry skin.
Cons
The oil-based formula means it's not a serum that's full of moisture. So I apply a moisturizing product as the first step, and then use this in the next step. I have to be careful not to use too much, as it can make my skin feel greasy, so I adjust the amount I use.

The price range is quite expensive, but my skin feels quite soft after using it.
Cons
The price range was way too expensive for the amount. It's been discontinued, unfortunately.

I tried it as a sample and I think it would suit those with dry skin.
Cons
There is quite a bit of stickiness left, and the price also seems to be set a bit high.

This oil serum is convenient to use as it does not require shaking. Since I have dry skin, I usually apply one type of oil in the winter, but it's a hassle to apply it separately. When I squeeze it onto the back of my hand, you can see very fine oil bubbles or oil droplets if you look closely. It's on the thinner side, so it spreads well, but it becomes sticky over time. It's better to apply it quickly. When I tried to apply a rich cream after using this, it didn't spread well at all and I had to pat it in endlessly. The moisturizing power is decent, but... considering it has the word 'oil' in the name, it's a bit... (for dry skin). No trouble, no stickiness, and it works well with creams, BB creams, and cushions.
Cons
Price Ingredients Absorption Stickiness Stickiness is the absolute worst Even after applying cream and BB cream, it's still sticky

The product had good spreadability and absorption, and it felt moisturizing.

Although I'm using this product in addition to an essence emulsion during the winter season, it's just so-so. I thought it was moisturizing for the first few days, but after a while, I'm not really sure if it's doing much.
Cons
After using this, I've developed a bit of trouble around my chin area. It's come up like hives.
Tip
It seems to be more moisturizing if I apply it when my skin is still damp from washing.

I don't use it all year round, only from fall to spring! In the summer, I used sunscreen-foundation-powder in that order before makeup. But as the seasons change, my skin tends to get very dry after makeup. However, I find it troublesome to apply multiple products, so I was looking for a single-use product, and that's when I found the Hera oil serum! Compared to a water-based serum, this one contains oil, so the moisturizing effect is really great. Even after using the oil serum and doing my makeup, it doesn't get cakey and my skin stays hydrated all day! I thought the oil-based formula would make it feel oily, but it absorbs quickly into the skin as I apply it. The fast absorption and long-lasting hydration are amazing! I highly recommend this to anyone struggling with dry skin during the seasonal changes.
Cons
There are a few slightly disappointing ingredients, but hopefully it will be improved in a future reformulation.
Tip
The coverage is good, but it works well when mixed with a thicker, matte foundation.

While the texture may feel a bit sticky, it absorbs well and seems quite good. It would likely be suitable for those with dry skin.
Cons
It feels nice and moisturizing at first, but in the morning I find it becomes too shiny and greasy...As someone with oily skin, it causes blemishes for me.

I've been using this product for a few months after receiving it as a gift. In the fall and winter, I have to apply various oils before bed, otherwise my skin gets extremely dry the next day. The scent may be divisive, but it doesn't bother me that much. After applying toner, essence, and cream, I put this product on and went to sleep, and I didn't feel overly dry. The moisturizing effect is so-so, but I was a bit surprised by the price. For this price, I feel like applying something like jojoba oil would provide longer-lasting hydration. But I'm sure there are other beneficial functions to this product as well.
Cons
I'm not sure if it's just me, but the reason this product is hard for me to use is that a few hours after applying it, or when I wake up, a white cast appears on my face (and I'm not rubbing it too hard, just lightly swiping). I thought it might be because of my other skincare products, so I tried applying it after just using toner, but the same thing happened. I also tried using it after exfoliating with a peeling gel, but the same issue occurred. I wonder if I'm using it incorrectly somehow? If anyone else has experienced this, please let me know what the problem might be.

The semi-transparent and not too heavy formula is an oil serum~ In the winter, when my skin was dry and exhausted, I used the sample of this product and it was good, so I stocked up on the samples and moisturized my skin throughout the winter. Although it's an oil serum, the application was light like a water-based essence. I was worried that it might feel sticky after application, but while there was a bit of stickiness right after, as time passed and it absorbed, the stickiness decreased. Overall, compared to other oil products, the stickiness and heaviness were not as severe.
Cons
The scent is a bit unpleasant. I'd recommend using it more in the winter than in the summer.
Tip
Rather than applying too much at once, applying a very small amount and spreading it thinly prevents stickiness and helps it absorb quickly.
