I don't know if it's seasonal, but the A.H.C. eye cream has a nice scent too. 5. And some people said the bottle is too heavy, but I really like the glass bottle! The increased cost is not great, but... The glass bottle feels like they made it with care and attention to properly contain the product, whereas plastic just seems less healthy somehow? It's just my personal preference. I've rambled on, but I hope this was helpful for those with similar skin types and preferences. I've tried to highlight the pros as much as possible.^^ One downside is that it's a bit sticky, so you really need to apply a toner first to properly hydrate the face before using this essence. Applying it on its own is a bit difficult. When I applied this essence and then also a moisturizer, it felt too heavy. I tried using the Tonymoly green tea moisture cream, and the two products seemed to clump together. Not sure if it's because the formulas don't mix well or if I just applied too much. Anyway, just something to keep in mind. *Of course, this is just my personal experience, so it may not apply to everyone.🤪 This essence can get a bit sticky if you apply it like a toner (patting it on). If you mix it with a toner, the patting application is fine. But when applying it after toner, just lightly swipe it on and gently press it in a few times, then remove your hands. It will absorb nicely that way. As mentioned earlier, layering it thinly 1-2 times before makeup also helps the makeup apply really well.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 - 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 UserDry SkinSensitive SkinApr 23, 2017
This is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. 1. No Trouble Caused My skin is not extremely sensitive, but it has become a bit more sensitive after a mishap with a cushion foundation. However, I've been applying this product morning and evening for a week, and there have been no breakouts. 2. Good Spreadability The formula is like a thin lotion, and it spreads easily. I usually dispense it onto one hand and then use my other hand to lightly dab and spread it across my face. 3. Moderate Moisturizing I follow a skincare routine of toner (cleansing water) - essence - cream. But now that it's spring, I find that even just using the essence doesn't leave my face feeling tight. It doesn't make my skin feel intensely moisturized, but it does prevent any dryness. 1. Sticky After Application Depending on the individual, there may be a sticky feeling for about 3-5 minutes after application. Of course, this stickiness goes away as the product is absorbed, but this could be a deal-breaker for some. 2. Price I started using this product because it was recommended by the Hwahae Trial Reviewers, but when I checked the regular price, it didn't seem very affordable to me. This essence does its job adequately and doesn't cause any breakouts, but it's not a product that makes me go 'Wow, this is amazing!' so the price feels quite burdensome. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinApr 18, 2017
This is an honest Hwahae Trial Reviewer's review :) Skin: Dry + severe redness on the cheeks 1. Non-heavy texture When choosing an essence, the texture is something I pay close attention to. If the product is too thick or heavy, I can feel the heaviness even when applied on the skin, which makes it feel stuffy. But this has a watery texture, so it applies thinly, which is great. (My 60-year-old mother is also currently participating in this trial, and she mentioned that the product applies quite thinly and seems to last a long time.) 2. Absorption The absorption is quite good. The watery essence gets absorbed quickly after application. I wanted to investigate this further, so I applied the S company essence I had used before and the Signature essence half-and-half on my face, and patted it in three times. The other product felt a bit like it was sitting on top, slowly getting absorbed, but the Signature essence got absorbed immediately without any residual feeling. 3. Applies well for next-day makeup With the good absorption, my skin felt so supple the next morning after applying it at night, and my makeup applied really well. 4. Low in harmful ingredients Since I have severe redness on my cheeks, and products with harsh ingredients tend to aggravate it, I'm glad the Signature essence has gentle ingredients and didn't cause any redness. 5. Unobtrusive fragrance The jar looks quite heavy, so I was worried the fragrance might be overpowering, but the refreshing scent is really pleasant. 1. Looks luxurious but heavy I don't think I'd have the courage to bring this along on short trips nearby. I'd have to decant it into a smaller container. It's as heavy as it looks. 2. Lightweight texture While I mentioned the lightweight texture as a positive, my mother actually prefers a slightly heavier application that feels more substantial. Older users who like that sensation may not be as pleased with the lightweight feel. 3. The one disappointment, though I'll need to use it longer to fully assess, is that I didn't notice the brightening and anti-aging effects the product emphasizes during the first week of use. However, the moisturizing benefits were more noticeable, keeping my dry skin from feeling tight and leaving it comfortably hydrated for a long time, which I was very satisfied with. I'll update my review on the brightening and anti-aging claims after using it for a month or two. +) After using it consistently for three months, I didn't see much of a brightening effect. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinApr 14, 2017
I've only used it a little, but I want to leave a review quickly! My skin is extremely dry, but at night, I layered this thinly and applied it twice, then followed up with an ampoule and cream. The next morning, my skin felt so soft and supple! After doing a 7-skin method, a face mask, and getting a good night's sleep, my skin condition that emerged was amazing, and I only used this for two days! 😻😻 Although the texture is creamy like a lotion for a first essence, when I apply it with a cotton pad, I don't feel much oiliness, and it spreads smoothly. As I'm getting older, I need to use a more nourishing base, but I don't like products that feel oily. Some feel slow to absorb and leave a residue, but this one absorbs quickly, and there's no oiliness left on my face afterwards! I didn't feel any tightness when applying it, but the next day, my skin was so soft - I love it! It's a bit too much for me to use in the morning! One thin layer with a cotton pad is fine, but if I apply a bit too much, when I touch my face, it feels like it's pilling up. This is the first time I've experienced this with a signature essence + ampoule + cream routine. It was so difficult to apply makeup that I had to wash my face and reapply it thinly. I find it more comfortable and better to use it at night. There's also a bit of oiliness, so it might be too heavy for those in their 10s to early 20s. It's probably better suited for those in their 20s to late 30s. After cleansing, apply it thinly twice with a damp cotton pad. Wait for a while, then apply your toner, ampoule, or cream. It won't feel dry, and your skin will look amazing. 😊 Despite some other downsides, the effects are so good that I'd give it five stars!
