Hydration Although I have oily skin, I do need some hydration in winter. However, intensely moisturizing products designed for dry skin types don't usually suit me. Those products often feel too heavy and suffocating, sometimes even causing blemishes or acne overnight. This one, though, provides just the right amount of hydration! Sensitivity While my skin isn't extremely sensitive, it does react quickly to products that don't agree with it. I sometimes get red spots, blemishes, or acne-like bumps. Happily, I didn't experience any of these issues with this product, which was great!
ConsAs many seem to have noticed, the dropper... It doesn't work very well, but since I use small amounts anyway, it wasn't a major inconvenience for me.

Recently, my skin has become less oily, but it feels dry and rough after cleansing. As a new mom, my skin looks more aged, so I was diligent in applying this product with its dual functionality for anti-aging and brightening. The essence has a light consistency, which absorbs well. It quickly sinks into the skin, leaving a lightweight feel that's perfect for my combination dehydrated skin. With consistent use, I noticed a significant reduction in skin roughness.
ConsThere weren't any particular downsides. Overall, I was satisfied with the product.

Since I have a separate essence for nighttime, I only used this once a day in the morning. My skin type is mildly oily with an uneven complexion, but I don't have acne. 1. Thoughtful packaging: It came with a paper insert like medicine, and they even wrote my name with a pen on it - like sending a letter! It's a small touch, but it made me feel they really care. 2. Gentle: It didn't cause any tingling or irritation. 3. Firming effect: It applies lightly and absorbs quickly, but after application, my skin feels firmer - not excessively so, just right. 4. Scent: It seems to have herbal notes, but the medicinal smell isn't overpowering, which I liked.
Cons1. Price: Considering the amount, it's a bit pricey for a casual purchase. 2. Application: It has a dropper, but the consistency is more like an emulsion than an essence. The product doesn't come up easily - it's less convenient to use compared to more watery essences. 3. Effectiveness: (Though I haven't used it long) It claims to brighten and improve wrinkles, but I haven't noticed any brightening effects. It seems more suited for wrinkle improvement. 4. Is it worth buying? While it's good overall, I wonder if it's worth buying at this price point. There are many similar products available at lower prices.

This essence has a light pink tint. When I dropped a bit on the back of my hand, it was thick enough not to run, but it felt lightweight when applied to the face. 2. My skin tends to be dehydrated, so I usually apply 5-7 layers of toner before moisturizer. However, while using this essence, I only used toner for cleansing without additional layers, and I didn't experience any deep dryness or tightness. 3. During use, I didn't experience any eye irritation (I have sensitive eyes due to allergies), skin itching, or blemishes. 4. It absorbs quickly. After spreading it on my face once, it sank in rapidly without much patting. (The fast absorption made it feel like applying a very thin emulsion.) 5. Although the essence is quite hydrating, I didn't feel any stickiness at all. (Hair doesn't stick to the face) => Effective for deep hydration / Absorbs quickly into the skin / No sticky feeling
Cons1. When dispensing the product with the dropper, it was difficult to get the contents out. Personally, I think a pump-type container would have been more convenient to use. 2. The white container makes it impossible to see the contents, so it's hard to gauge how much product is left, which is inconvenient. 3. It has a bitter scent typical of herbal medicine. I didn't find it bothersome during use, but those with sensitive noses might want to test it first. 4. For those with dry skin, the hydration might be slightly insufficient. On days when my skin feels particularly dry, I apply the essence twice before following up with moisturizer. (Its lightweight texture allows for multiple layers without feeling heavy.)

Currently, I don't have any active blemishes.) -Absorption: As expected from its thin essence texture, it applies smoothly and lightly. -Absorption rate: This might vary, but since I applied it after using 3 layers of toner, it didn't sink in instantly. There's a slight stickiness at the end. I wait a bit before applying emulsion. After absorption, rather than feeling deeply hydrated, the skin surface feels a bit taut. -Moisturizing power: Compared to Innisfree's Oat All-in-One Emulsion, this feels slightly heavier. Not suffocating though... It starts light but finishes with good hydration. I liked it, especially for the dry winter! -Blemishes: None! It even seemed to reduce small bumps or hives on my forehead! Seems effective for improving skin texture. -Brightening: It's probably unrealistic to expect whitening effects after just over a week of use, right? However, I definitely feel like my complexion has become clearer. While not related to brightening, it didn't help with redness reduction. -Scent: As expected from a hanbang (traditional Korean herbal) cosmetic, it has a medicinal scent, but personally, I didn't find it too bothersome. -Repurchase intention: I would, but... the price is too high, unfortunately.
ConsThe price-to-volume ratio and the dropper packaging! The dropper is inconvenient.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. To summarize, it's excellent for calming acne and redness. It's gentle yet lightweight, so I recommend it for those who need acne treatment or skin soothing, and for those with oily skin who find rich products burdensome. I'll provide more details below. My skin type is combination-dry, oily in very hot summers but otherwise dry, almost to the point of being considered dry skin. It's also super sensitive - even acne patches can cause allergic reactions, making it worse. Fortunately, I've found suitable toners and creams, so I currently don't have acne, only experiencing allergic reactions when I'm sick. Recently, after eyelid surgery, I had an allergic reaction on one side of my face due to the tape used to secure the gauze. Luckily, I won this product through The Hwahae Testers, and after using it for just 3 days, the allergic reaction completely disappeared. I'm now working on fading the remaining marks. The packaging features a dropper, which is convenient for controlling the amount used as it wipes off excess serum at the opening. It has a herbal scent, similar to Uhwangchungsim-won. Those who dislike herbal scents should take note. The color is a slightly pinkish, opaque hue, like a pink pearl. One drop on each cheek and forehead is sufficient for full coverage. While I find this amount generous, some users prefer using more, so keep that in mind if you feel it's not enough. The texture is viscous enough not to drip when tilted in your hand, but it's not sticky and feels moisturizing when applied. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave an oily residue. As I have dry skin, I applied an additional layer of cream before bed. The soothing effect is remarkable. Upon application, you can feel the heat dissipating, redness disappearing, and skin calming down. I noticed these effects within 3 days. Rather than a cooling sensation, it feels like it gently absorbs while eliminating heat. I haven't seen any whitening effects yet. My skin just seems clearer due to increased hydration and nourishment. I prefer clear skin over pale, patchy skin, so I'm satisfied. The clarity was visibly noticeable after about a week of use. Initially, it felt very hydrating but lacked enough oil to maintain that hydration. For those with dry skin like mine, using this alone wasn't enough, but it seemed perfect for oily skin types. After 4 days, I heard it becomes more hydrating with continued use, so I tried using only this for 3 days. However, my blemishes, which had been disappearing, reappeared. It seems I still need more oil. (I tend to get blemishes when my skin is dry.) However, since this product is said to help with waste removal, it might be part of the purging process. I'll update after a month of use. After a week of use, my skin became softer. It was already soft before, but had become rough after the eyelid surgery. Now it's soft again. The photos show before use, after 3 days, and after 1 week. In the 3-day photo, you can still see some redness and slight blemishes, but it's clear how much calmer the skin is after just 3 days. The 1-week photo shows some new blemishes, but overall, the skin looks clearer. Looking at the photos, I notice that the blackhead-like sebum in my pores seems to have reduced slightly. I wonder if this is due to the product? That's great!
ConsI prefer products with a bit more slip, so I wish it maintained hydration for longer. However, considering its excellent soothing effects, it's perfect as a calming product rather than a hydrating one. As I'm nearing the end of the product, I'm noticing more drawbacks. After about a month of use, the product at the opening turns pink and solidifies. Also, even though there's still product left, it's hard to get it out with the dropper. The packaging makes it difficult to see how much is left and the shape isn't ideal for using with a dropper. If it were less curved and more jar-like, it would be easier to use with the dropper. The narrow opening and wide bottom make it inconvenient.
TipAfter applying it all over your face, you can add an extra half-drop to areas that need more soothing for enhanced effects. It seems like it would be great for summer use due to its lightweight texture.

This essence seems particularly great for oily and sensitive skin types. The texture is lightweight, absorbing into the skin like a serum! It's close to white in color and has a pleasant herbal scent reminiscent of traditional medicine. At first, I was surprised by the medicinal scent in a skincare product (aside from shampoo), but then I realized it likely means they didn't use artificial fragrances, which I love! Key benefits: 1. Immediate soothing effect on the skin. Despite having two inflamed blemishes on my chin, I only used toner, this essence, and a soothing gel. By morning, one had disappeared and the other was ready to be extracted! 2. Highly recommended for oily skin due to its lightweight formula. As someone with sensitive, oily skin, I really appreciate how light it feels. Comparing it to my usual Isoi and Dr.G essences, this one falls between them in terms of lightness. Despite its airy texture, it's incredibly hydrating. 3. Excellent, clean ingredients! The all-natural preservatives had me worried about stability, but my skin's condition the next morning proved those concerns unfounded. 4. Instant results. It's not just positive feedback because I'm a tester - this product really shows immediate effects! Thanks to ingredients like Centella Asiatica and Houttuynia Cordata extracts, it's great for soothing blemishes and reducing redness. I've noticed I need less concealer to cover up my winter-induced flush. My skin looks brighter too! It truly seems like a miracle essence. I'm not just satisfied with receiving this product for free as a tester; I'm thrilled to have discovered such an amazing product! After wasting money on unsuitable skincare, I've finally found something that works for my sensitive skin. I'll definitely be purchasing this before I run out! While the Dewdrop brand was new to me, this essence has made me curious about their other products like creams and toners. Unlike my previous Isoi essence, which was so light I needed to layer another essence, this one provides both lightness and deep hydration. It's going to be my go-to essence from now on!
ConsWhile the product itself is fantastic, I wish the brand was more well-known. It would be great if more people knew about this gem! The price point of 45,000 won for 30ml is a bit steep, though their website offers sales which make it more budget-friendly. As it's a lesser-known brand, a more luxurious packaging might increase consumer trust and appeal. Oh, and please improve the dropper! It doesn't fill completely in one go, so I have to pump it multiple times, which is a bit inconvenient.
TipI've been using a wash-off mask that doesn't dry completely but stays moist. I found that applying this essence before the mask works wonders for soothing my skin! When I used the mask alone, I mainly noticed improvements in hydration and texture. But when combined with this essence, I saw a significant reduction in blemishes too. I'm very satisfied with the results!
