It's so hydrating! On lazy days, I just apply this as my base skincare and do my makeup - it doesn't feel dry at all and creates a great canvas. I'm totally satisfied with the scent and how well it absorbs. Even with my oily skin, I don't find it too greasy, and it's great for evening use too. I received this as a gift and tried it out, but when I saw the actual price, I was a bit shocked... It's not quite good enough to justify that cost. It's perfect for those times when you can't be bothered with a multi-step skincare routine. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 29, 2018
It absorbs well and applies smoothly! There's a subtle fragrance. (This was a sample I received with the Kyun Mi-ri Pact purchase) Since I usually use fragrance-free products, I immediately noticed the scent in this one! It almost feels like applying perfume. Due to the PEG in the ingredients, I'm a bit hesitant to use it on my face, so I'm only applying it to my neck and body. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinDec 2, 2017
I have sensitive skin that is prone to dryness. I tried using this instead of the thin lotion I was using before. The feel of using it is good. It absorbs into the skin without leaving a greasy or heavy feeling. Some products can leave a coated feeling on the skin that I don't like, but this one just sinks right in. The spreadability is also nice. Since the formula is thin, it spreads easily across the skin. As soon as I apply it, I can definitely feel the moisturizing effect. I also thought the peach scent was pleasant. However, the level of moisture is a bit disappointing compared to my expectations. My dry-skinned friend and even my oily-skinned sister said they would need to layer a cream on top of this. Since it's only been 2 weeks, I'm not sure if it has significantly improved skin dryness or made my skin fundamentally more hydrated. The initial feel is nice, but I'm not sure about the long-term effects yet... The strong scent is divisive. I was fine with it, but my sister ended up not being able to use it because of the fragrance. As for repurchasing, considering the price, I'm not sure... I'll have to use it more and see if I need to make any adjustments. I applied the toner by dabbing it on with a cotton pad, then patted it into the skin. They said this would help with absorption. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAtopy SkinSensitive SkinNov 29, 2017
1. Spreadability: It is a very moisturizing type of essence with good absorbency. I applied it 5 times on the palm of my hand, without applying any cream, and then directly applied sunscreen, the Age 20's Cover Pact, and went to work. It feels great without any tightness on the face. 2. My skin type: Combination, but dry in the winter. These days, due to midday dryness in the office, I spray a mist once. 3. Impression: I was using the Mi* First Essence for 2 bottles, and I would layer it 3-4 times in the morning and evening. This one is much more moisturizing than the Mi*. 4. Glow: It gives a natural sheen. You can see the glow in the photo I took, even without applying any cream. 5. Scent: It has a similar sweet candy-like scent to the Age 20's Cover Pact. There are 2 concerning ingredients. I will definitely repurchase after finishing this. I want to buy it for my mom, and she likes this type of formula. For oily skin, there may be excess oil, so please take that into consideration. On days when you don't want to apply many products, for those doing a cosmetic diet, layering this a few times makes the skin feel very moisturized and nice. - 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 SkinNov 27, 2017
★Hwahae Trial Reviewer Evaluation I thought the essence would be a liquid formulation, but it's actually a creamy, viscous texture. It applies smoothly and feels moisturizing, so it seems like the perfect product for dry skin. It seems great to use as the first step in a skincare routine, leaving the skin feeling refreshed. I'll need to use it a bit longer to see the effects on whitening and wrinkle improvement. I think you could use it like a toner by applying it to a cotton pad, which would allow for a clean and moisturizing application. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinApr 23, 2017
♡Hwahae Trial Reviewer♡ My skin type is sensitive and oily. As soon as I received it, I washed my face and applied it to my hands. The texture is close to a lotion, but the spreadability is closer to an essence. The absorption is also excellent. It doesn't absorb right away, but if you pat it in after applying it all over, the absorption is complete. There is no greasy feeling, so it feels refreshing. As an oily-skinned person, I'm pleased that it's moisturizing without the oiliness. It stays moisturized for quite a long time. Even if I only used this for a day's care, there was no dry feeling. It's refreshing enough that I can apply something else on top without any burden. The best part was that the sebum plugs around my nose and under my lower lip decreased. While the big effects are not yet visible after 2 weeks of use, it has worked well without major breakouts. The included cotton pads have different sides for exfoliating and skincare. They are very thick, so they are easy to hold when exfoliating. They also seem good for removing makeup. However, this may also be irritating to me, as I felt a bit itchy after using them. The disappointing part was the fragrance. The scent was sweet and nice when I opened the lid, but when I applied it, the damp peach scent was a bit unpleasant, though it dissipates quickly. The whitening and wrinkle improvement effects cannot be achieved in 2 weeks, so I'll have to use it longer. As a fermented product, it seems that breakouts vary by individual. The next day, 2 pimples popped up, but the sebum plugs gradually decreased and the pimples subsided quickly. I would recommend this to all skin types. If it's not enough, you can layer more for better hydration. After cleansing, I generously apply it to my hands. Then I use a steam towel several times, follow with a cold water patting, and apply it using a cotton pad, patting it in. In the evenings when I don't use a cream, I do it this way. It's a bit of a hassle, but my skin does seem to change a bit the next day. - 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 UserOily SkinApr 14, 2017
This product is a first essence type, but the lightweight formula allows me to complete my basic skincare routine in just a few quick steps, which was very useful for my short morning routine. The cotton pads provided were also a pleasant surprise, as they helped instantly refine my skin texture. The application was better than expected, and the absorption was fast despite the rich texture. Even though my skin is a dry-oily type, the appropriate amount of oil content was great, and my skin stayed hydrated all day long. The glass bottle feels luxurious and has a nice weight to it, making it comfortable to hold. Hmm... the fragrance is not natural, but rather artificial, and the lingering scent lasted throughout my entire skincare routine. Those with fragrance sensitivities or allergies may find this challenging. Additionally, as a first essence, the formula is quite dense, which made it feel burdensome to apply all the subsequent base products.
