It's a shame this skin product has been discontinued. Since it's a hydrating line, you definitely need to apply a cream in winter. I've used up all the skin toner, so I'm only posting a photo of the emulsion.

This is the best skin emulsion I've ever used. It's gentle, hydrating, and feels refreshing on the skin.

에센셜 밸런싱 에멀전 [센서티브]

It's a shame this product seems to have been discontinued. I don't think they're producing the Sensitive version anymore.

My T-zone tends to be oily while the rest of my face is on the dry side, but this product was great - it didn't make my skin greasy nor did it cause any blemishes.

Those with dry skin might find it a bit lacking in hydration. Also, it seems to be quite difficult to purchase online these days.

As someone with super sensitive skin, I was always scared to use skincare products. But this one seems to work well for me without any adverse reactions. It feels moisturizing and light without being sticky.

It feels like it leaves a bit of an oily residue...

It seems to be great for hydration and gentle on the skin...

I can't think of any downsides, unless you count the slight disappointment that comes from unconsciously high expectations for such a famous brand.

As someone with normal skin, I must say the application is excellent, as expected from a cream formula. The texture absorbs well into the skin. There's hardly any scent, which is great for those sensitive to fragrances.

It's not ideal for use before makeup. The foundation tends to break down and separate quickly.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, this feels incredibly hydrating without any oiliness. It quenches my skin's thirst and doesn't cause any blemishes.

While it's not overly expensive for the amount you get, it might be a bit pricey for students!

My skin is combination and sensitive, with an oily T-zone and dry U-zone. While I don't have major blemishes, I do have some small bumps and redness.

Absorption: It applies smoothly and absorbs incredibly quickly.
Hydration: Except in winter, this alone keeps my skin moisturized without additional creams, and my makeup doesn't flake!
Longevity: It feels like it's sinking in, maintaining that initial feeling throughout wear.

The best part is that because it's for sensitive skin, if I apply it before bed, by morning my redness has faded and those small bumps have significantly reduced. It seems to balance my skin's oil and moisture levels perfectly. I really think issues like redness and acne are often due to an imbalance in oil and hydration!

☆ It's on the pricey side

Buying the set can be a bit hard on the wallet. While I know Laneige isn't exactly a budget brand, the price still stings a bit every time I make a purchase.

I've been using this emulsion along with the toner! Both are so gentle that I'd highly recommend them for those with sensitive and combination dehydrated skin types.

★ It's super gentle

I initially tested the toner in-store and loved how mild it was, so I decided to try the emulsion as a set. I've been hooked ever since, using it exclusively for years now. If you have super sensitive skin like me, you might want to give the set a try too.

★ Light and non-greasy

To be honest, I used to avoid emulsions because excess oil would trigger my blemishes. Heavy, oily emulsions felt burdensome on my skin. But since switching to this one, I've been applying it daily. It's wonderfully lightweight and refreshing!

While skin types may vary, it worked well for my extremely dry skin. However, I'm not sure if it would be suitable for those with oily skin.

This product seems to be tailored for those with dry skin or sensitive, delicate complexions. The texture isn't heavy, but rather has a fluid consistency. It absorbs beautifully and feels light on the skin! After application, it leaves your skin feeling hydrated and incredibly supple!! I use it frequently because it's lightweight yet provides decent moisturization.

Applying this emulsion after a sheet mask is absolutely fantastic!

The price point is a bit steep, I must say. I got this for free using my points, so repurchasing might be a challenge.

It was super gentle, perfect for sensitive skin. The texture was moisturizing and absorbed well into my skin. I have acne-prone skin, but this didn't cause any new blemishes - that's a big plus!

It's not really a downside, but there's a slight alcohol or medicinal scent. Before applying it to my face, I usually put some on my hands and fan them for about 3 seconds, then apply it to my face.

When my skin became super sensitive from using prescription ointments for skin improvement and I couldn't apply anything else, this was the only product that didn't cause any irritation. I also use the toner, and I love that it's fragrance-free. Even after my skin has improved, I plan to keep using this exclusively, so I hope it never gets discontinued.
