It's also sensitive, so I avoid oils and pore-clogging ingredients. This essence is free from harmful ingredients. As it's created by traditional medicine researchers, it's packed with herbal extracts true to its natural, traditional formula. It has a baby pink color and doesn't drip when applied to the back of your hand. When dispensing with the dropper, it comes out in small clumps rather than individual drops. It looks more viscous than typical essences, but when you spread it, the texture loosens up and explodes with hydration. However, this sensation is brief - it quickly disappears as if absorbed by powder, leaving your skin fresh and soft. It absorbs so quickly that there's no need for patting it in. If you dislike stickiness and prefer a fresh, clean feeling, you'll love this product. It has the same application feel as products containing alcohol or ethanol, but without those ingredients.
ConsIt didn't leave much of an oily feeling on my skin, but the hydration didn't last very long. My skincare routine focuses on soothing and improving skin texture with toner, adding moisture with essence, and balancing oil and hydration with emulsion. While this essence provides some nourishment, it lacks a rich texture and the moisturizing effect doesn't seem to last long. It might be better suited for use in summer when sebum production is high.
TipI'm not sure if there was an ingredient that didn't agree with me or if it caused irritation, but on the third day, I noticed small, red, comedone-like bumps. They were tiny, so I ignored them and continued using the product for two more days, thinking it might have a soothing effect. However, the areas around the bumps became red and painful to touch in three spots: my philtrum, cheeks, and forehead. I stopped using it and switched back to my regular essence. Currently, the bumps on my cheeks and forehead have subsided, but the one on my philtrum turned into a pimple-like bump that I had to squeeze and is now healing. The 2nd photo shows the product being spread, the 3rd shows immediately after application, and the 4th shows absorption after a few seconds.
