While it may lack dramatic effects, the product is overall comfortable and beneficial for the skin.
Cons
Please do not discontinue this product. The cream that is given as a gift should also be sold as a standalone item.

This is the First Essence with added wrinkle improvement and whitening ingredients to the original The Essential First Essence.
Cons
It was not good as it contained 2 out of 20 caution ingredients.
Tip
Use the First Essence after cleansing.

I used a derma soothing toner in the winter, but as summer came, I felt it was a bit heavy, so I switched to this toner. I had tried the Essential Centella products before because of my acne, but the price was high, the smell was strong, and the effect was non-existent, so I didn't think much of that line. But this product works well for me! My T-zone is very oily, and my U-zone heats up quickly, so even in the summer, I have dry skin and quite a few closed comedones on my forehead and jawline. This product has a lightweight formula, so after cleansing, if I absorb it one more time, I feel my skin is well-hydrated. My acne hasn't worsened either, and this seems to be the most suitable toner for replenishing moisture.
Cons
The price is a bit of a concern... I tend to go through cleansers quickly, so buying one bottle per month might be a bit burdensome. It would be great if you could increase the regular product volume instead of offering it as a set with a cream.

Personally, I really liked how light and moisturizing it was on my skin^^!! I tend to prefer products that absorb into the skin without leaving any residue, so I've been using this one quite often!! I happened to buy one based on an employee's recommendation, and ever since then, I've been really satisfied with it and have been using it consistently! After cleansing, I just smooth it over my skin, and it makes my face feel so soft and supple haha I'm on my third bottle now, and I plan to repurchase!
Cons
The only downside is that the amount seems a bit lacking..hmm..I wish there was a bit more. But other than that, there's nothing else! It's not a huge issue, but if I had to nitpick one thing..! Oh, and just a personal thought to add! For those with very dry skin or during dry seasons..this one product alone might not be enough to fully address the dryness..!! I have combination skin, so it's fine for me to use normally, but during dry seasons, I also use an additional product. Just something to keep in mind!

I accidentally ordered this instead of the regular version, but it seems to be a good choice for the current summer season. It's lightweight and absorbs quickly, which I like. I've been using it for over 3 years and am very satisfied with it. On days when I apply it generously, my skin looks more radiant and transparent.
Cons
This product has been discontinued and replaced with a different formulation. I don't tend to apply lotion often, so the previous version seemed better suited for me.
Tip
I try to apply it generously when I have the time. I usually apply it 7 times on a regular basis, and sometimes I'll soak a 5-ply cotton pad with it and use it as a face pack.

This essence toner is the essence of life!!! I can't get through a single day without it It completely removes all the sebum and whiteheads on my nose and T-zone - it's just an amazing essence I'm so grateful to the store manager at The Face Shop who recommended this to me
Cons
It's a bit on the pricier side, which is understandable since the galactomyces ingredient is quite high-end. I have to buy it once every two or three months, and the cost can be burdensome at times
Tip
But The Face Shop has frequent sales, and they never just give you the essence itself ㅋ They always include samples, and if you collect a few of those, you can use them for another month or two It's a total steal when you travel too - I love The Face Shop so much ㅠ

As soon as I wash my face, I scoop some into my hands and pat it on gently. After drying my hair, I come into the room and soak a cotton pad thoroughly, then wipe it on like I'm cleansing. It leaves a slightly tacky feeling. Among the lightweight lotions, there are some that just fly off as soon as you apply them, but this one seems to leave some nourishment behind. It's not as sticky as the runny lotions, and it absorbs fairly quickly, so it would be good for someone like me who dislikes stickiness.
Cons
The amount runs out quickly. It's not a very economical lotion. But I don't have any major complaints~ I'm quite satisfied with it.
Tip
As I mentioned above, I scoop some into my hands right after washing my face and pat it on gently. I then dry my hair a bit and wipe it on using a cotton pad, as if cleansing. After that, I layer on an essence, eye cream, and moisturizer, and it works well.

My skin is prone to frequent breakouts due to its complexity, but after using this product, my acne has significantly improved. My skin also feels smoother.
Cons
I feel like my skin is slightly lacking in moisture. There is a tightening sensation.

This is a product that I'm using based on the recommendation of the store staff. I would recommend it for summer use.
Cons
When I was recommended this, they said that if I use it consistently, it would make my skin look more radiant... Well, I'm not so sure about that. It's just so-so.
