Great hydration power Moisturizing effect is excellent Lovely fragrance No blemishes The case looks luxurious and beautiful! It's a bit pricey There's some oiliness, so not recommended for those with oily skin Highly recommended for dry skin types! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinDec 4, 2017
Here is the English translation of the Korean text, with the requested synonym applied: The skin concerns are complex (quick drying)/sensitive/chin acne+reddish skin. 🌟🌟🌟 Hwahae Trial Reviewer review🌟🌟🌟 Spreadability/Absorption ★★★★ It's a very watery cream-type, with an essence-like spreadability. It feels quite oily and velvety, but once absorbed, it leaves a thin film-like feeling that tightens the skin. Moisturizing Power ★★★★ Rather than having strong moisturizing power, it helps balance the oil and moisture, making the skin feel supple. No trouble Scent ★★★★★ It has a subtle floral scent that is not overpowering or unpleasant. Usage Experience ★★★★★ I thought it would be a watery formula since it's a first essence, but it's actually a watery cream-type essence. The velvety texture would be suitable for use in all seasons except summer, and I especially recommend it for fall and winter! Although it's a watery type, the oily texture can feel a bit heavy if you apply a lot, like a 3-skin method. However, once absorbed, it leaves a soft and supple, bouncy feeling, so even with the 3-skin method, it didn't cause excessive dryness, which was great! Applying it generously at night and touching my face in the morning, it felt moisturized and bouncy. (I was concerned about the dryness and loss of elasticity in the winter, but after using it for a short period, the dryness improved significantly, and even just water cleansing in the morning left my skin soft, moisturized, and bouncy.) It seems to work really well in the winter, and I'd recommend it for anyone except those with extremely dry skin. Personally, I highly recommend it! I'm considering purchasing the product. _______________________________________ (I felt like I wrote too positively, so I'm attaching a photo. This is the amount I've used over about 10 days.) The usage experience is very good, and the scent is also nice, but if I had to point out one thing, it would be the fragrance. Since the usage experience is so good, if I apply too much, the makeup ends up sliding off. (If you want to apply a lot, it's better to do it at night) - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinDec 3, 2017
*Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review* I thought the formula would be heavy, but it wasn't. When I applied it, it felt surprisingly moisturizing, which I liked. It also wasn't sticky or overly oily, which was good. My skin is the type that reacts very quickly - small bumps start appearing within half a day if a product doesn't suit me. I was a bit worried because I was using this product right before my period, when my skin condition isn't the best, but I didn't experience any troubles at all, which really surprised me. Before using this product, I would apply a skin, ampoule, and then cream. But after using this, I found that I didn't even need the ampoule, and one day I even skipped the cream and it was still fine. I used to always apply at least a drop of ampoule, but this product was so moisturizing that it showed me I didn't necessarily need that extra step. I'm really happy that this one product seems to be enough for me. The packaging looks really old-fashioned. The container is also quite heavy, which I found surprising and felt heavy every time I used it. I'm not sure if this product really delivers all the functions it claims to have. The scent is something that will definitely divide opinions. Personally, I found it okay. I think those with oily skin may find this product a bit inconvenient to use. For someone like me who used to do a 3-step skincare routine, you may need to leave some time in between applying this product. It takes a bit of time to fully absorb, so I would thoroughly pat it in and let it sink in before applying the next layer. If you apply the next step before it's fully absorbed, you'll definitely feel like it's just sitting on top of your skin. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinNov 30, 2017
Hwahae Trial Reviewer review~♡ To be honest, I thought the sample size was coming, but I was surprised to receive the actual product~ I was so happy about it!!! When I opened the box, I was like 'Ooh~' ㅋ But it feels more like a lotion than an essence~ And when I applied it, it felt like a lotion too ㎎ After using it for a week, I really liked it! It also suited my skin well, and I didn't have any trouble or breakouts~ The moisturizing effect is great too~ The best part is that it absorbs really well~ When I apply it on my face, it gets absorbed right away~ The moisturizing feeling is great too~ And it doesn't feel oily at all~ I was worried it might feel a bit sticky or greasy when using it as the first step after cleansing, but it doesn't feel sticky or greasy at all, just moisturized ㎎ So I like it even more~ The scent is also great! Of course, it doesn't last very long, but I really loved the scent~^^ Overall, it was a really great product~ Hmm.. The only downside, like others have mentioned, is that the packaging is a bit heavy ㋋ And the scent doesn't last very long, which is a bit disappointing.. It would have been better if the scent lasted longer.. Other than that, I'm satisfied~ - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAtopy SkinSensitive SkinNov 30, 2017
First of all, I tried using a First Essence, but it felt almost watery (I've tried Cynique, Missha, and SK-II). The texture felt a bit unique. It's an essence-like texture, but slightly thinner! The fact that it's non-irritating to the skin was a plus. I didn't experience any skin troubles even after applying it and going to sleep. I usually get breakouts when using oils or heavy creams, but this felt lightweight. After using this and an eye cream for almost 2 weeks, the reddish blemishes on my cheeks have reduced a bit. (I don't apply a lot of skincare products as I find them stuffy, and breaking out when trying different things. But I have a dry, dehydrated skin type. I'd rather choose dryness over breakouts.) And since I'm only using one product, the First Essence applies lightly on the skin and gets absorbed well as it's the first step. After application, my skin feels wrapped in a thin hydrating layer, giving a dewy, supple look. And since it's not a water-based formula, it doesn't spread around messily. First of all, I don't like the packaging. It's not a pump bottle, so I have to scoop it out, which can make the opening dirty. It doesn't seem very hygienic. And I got this because it was selected by the Hwahae Trial Reviewers, but seeing the price of around 40,000 won, I thought it was expensive. Though it may last longer than a water-based formula, it's still quite pricey. And the fragrance is quite artificial. It has a plum-like scent, and at first application, the fragrance was quite strong, making me worry if it would be irritating. If you apply it 2-3 times with some time in between, your skin will feel more supple, and your makeup will adhere better on top. If you're looking to simplify your skincare routine, this could be a good option. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinSensitive SkinNov 28, 2017
Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review (Yujeon Moisturizing, Tizeon Sebum Control) The texture is thinner and applies very lightly compared to the formula. The scent was nice, but it's a pity that it's classified as a harmful ingredient. I usually apply fragrance-free cosmetics, so... After cleansing, I patted the product directly onto my skin without drying with a towel. It applied thinly and lightly, so I layered it a few times. There was no significant breakout or trouble. It seems to be effective for hydration. Before using this, I had various breakouts on my face. I used a specialized tool to extract the severe inflammation on my chin, cheeks, and philtrum area, and applied acne patches. For the remaining blemishes, I just left them and applied the Signature First Essence instead of toner, and the Avène Cicalfate Restorative Cream very thinly only on the dry areas, and it improved a lot. It's said to be effective for brightening and wrinkle improvement, but I'm not sure about the wrinkles, but my skin tone seemed to get brighter. I'll keep applying it and update the review on the wrinkle part. My shoulders got quite tanned in the summer, so I'll try applying it there as well. Even without the fragrance, it would be better to remove it. Thinking of it as an essence, it's very light. However, heavier is not always better, so I applied it in multiple thin layers, and that worked better. I often skip the cream, and just layered the essence several times and didn't feel overly dry, but it wasn't enough on its own. Don't apply a large amount all at once. Gently pat it in to help it absorb well. Avoid applying on severe inflammatory blemishes. Add an oil-based product like an eye cream on the eye and lip areas. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinNov 28, 2017
Hwahae Trial Reviewer review~ This is a milky essence with a faint peach scent. After cleansing and using a hydrating mist, I applied this. The texture is a bit sticky, so I dispensed it onto my hands and patted it in to absorb it. As a combination skin type with dehydration, this didn't feel heavy or greasy, but provided good moisture and hydration. Even in the dry winter, I didn't experience any breakouts or bumps. I'm not sure how it would perform in the summer, but for now, I'm satisfied. My combination skin was feeling tight, but the dryness has improved. However, those with dry skin may find this insufficient, so it's best to follow up with a lotion or cream. The scent is also not overpowering and pleasant. The bottle is a bit heavy, so a pump dispenser would be better. Since I've only used it for a short time, I haven't noticed any whitening or anti-aging effects yet. As a first essence, the texture may be too heavy for some, so opinions may be divided. The milky, runny texture means absorption is a bit slow, so it's best to keep patting it in until fully absorbed. Applying a watery mist beforehand and then this essence helps the hydration last longer. You can also soak a thin cotton pad with this essence and use it as a mask-like treatment on dry areas. The texture is similar to the essence in sheet masks. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinNov 27, 2017
The First Essence seems to be just right for dry-skinned people in their 30s and 40s - it's dense and moisturizing. The glow it gives is lovely. And it didn't cause any blemishes! It seems like a good choice for using in the winter. The bottle is a bit heavy, but not overly so. Since I don't usually take the full-size product when I travel, that's not an issue for me. The generous volume is great. I'll update on the whitening and wrinkle improvement effects after finishing the whole bottle. The scent is a bit strong for me. I'd prefer skincare products with a very light or no fragrance at all. It's a bit oily, so I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types. I find it's more convenient for me to just apply it with my hands! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinNov 27, 2017
This is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. Fortunately, it matches my skin well without any skin troubles so far~^^ And the amount of essence is quite generous, so I can use it without burden. It also seems to have excellent moisturizing properties due to its good absorption. The subtle fragrance is also pleasant without being overbearing. So I feel good when applying it after cleansing^^ When thinking of essences, a pump type often comes to mind, but this is not a pump type. I'm not sure about the anti-wrinkle and whitening effects in the short term. The container is heavy, so it might be difficult to carry around. In my skin, even if it's not the same type of cosmetic, it blends well with other skincare products as well~~^^ - Hwahae UserDry SkinAtopy SkinSensitive SkinApr 23, 2017
☆Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review☆ The design was so pretty, I really liked it! The rose gold-colored lid was right up my alley❤ I thought it would be a light formula since it's an essence, but it was surprisingly moisturizing and not at all sticky or greasy. The scent is also a lovely one that I've smelled somewhere before!!😍 When you pat it in, it becomes plump and absorbs quickly! And I didn't get any breakouts either. I have dry skin, so I usually use a skin, essence, lotion, and moisturizer, and would add oil when it got extra dry. But now, just using the skin, this essence, and a moisturizer is enough!! It suits me really well, and I'm so satisfied to have found a holy grail product! 100% would repurchase!! Most of the reviews I've seen were similar. The bottle feels a bit heavy. If it had a pump, the heaviness wouldn't be an issue, but since you have to scoop it out, the heaviness can cause it to come out too much sometimes. Of course, I got used to it after using it for a while, though.ㅎㅎ
