First off, I loved how smoothly it applied without feeling sticky. As someone with very dry skin, I found it great to apply generously before makeup - it prevents my foundation from looking patchy and helps it adhere well. It's also fantastic as an overnight mask when stored in the fridge. I woke up to skin that still felt hydrated the next day. Best of all, it's excellent value for money with its generous amount. I did experience some itchiness when I first applied it. While I got used to it, this is something to be aware of. Also, after some time, the skin can start to feel quite rich in oils. For an extra boost of hydration, try storing it in the fridge and using it as a mask. Apply a thick layer to your skin before cleansing - it leaves your skin feeling wonderfully moisturized. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinJan 3, 2019
It absorbs beautifully, feels quite hydrating, and isn't sticky at all. I think it's really great value for money! I'm not sure if it's because of this product, but the area where I applied it became really itchy, so I don't think I can use it anymore. - Hwahae UserDry SkinDec 22, 2018
It's moisturizing and offers good value for money. I tried the toner and liked it, so I decided to buy the cream too. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is. Some people say it's drying, but as I have oily skin, I didn't find it particularly drying at all. My face felt a bit itchy. Other than that, everything else seems fine. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAtopy SkinSensitive SkinDec 21, 2018
It's great that it's affordable and comes in a large quantity, so you can apply it generously without worry. The runny, thin consistency makes it easy to spread on both body and face. For me, this made my body and face itchy. I developed red hives, which is probably why I'm not reaching for it much. It might work differently for others, but unfortunately it didn't suit my skin. If you keep it in the fridge and use it, the cooling effect is amazing, and it also helps reduce morning puffiness! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinNov 26, 2018
My skin is sensitive and combination type... The T-zone gets oily while the U-zone suffers from redness and dehydration. In winter, if I skip skincare, my skin feels terribly cracked. So I was looking for a product with lots of hydration but without feeling heavy. I spotted this on sale at Olive Young and decided to give it a try. Since it's not a heavy product, I applied it chilled during summer. It had a soothing effect on skin exposed to sunlight. It felt like an upgrade from the aloe gel I used before. It absorbs quickly, making it comfortable to use in summer without any issues. Unlike in summer, this alone isn't enough for colder seasons. When my skin is super sensitive, it can feel a bit tingly. I rarely wear makeup, maybe once a month, so I don't often have sensitivity issues... Since it's a product you scoop out, it would be nice if it came in a tube format. It worked well as a substitute for moisturizer after using a sheet mask. When skin was heavily exposed to sunlight, applying it chilled provided a good soothing effect. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinOct 19, 2018
It feels so hydrating and I can sense my skin improving! Every time I use it, I want to stock up and buy more. It's that good! After using this, my skin felt a bit itchy, which made me wonder if some of the ingredients might not be great. That's why I downloaded Hwahae to investigate! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinSep 9, 2018
Application: This moisturizer has a runny, mucus-like texture. I applied a small amount by patting it onto my skin. Its lightweight formula feels cool on application and spreads easily without stickiness, leaving a soft finish. However, depending on your skin condition, it may feel a bit tight as it dries, so I recommend reapplying on specific areas as needed. Absorption: It has that typical Japanese texture - hydrating yet non-sticky with a soft finish. While it works well after toner, for makeup prep you might want to layer a light cream over it to maintain hydration. It's perfect for summer use with just toner, but for spring, fall, and winter, I'd suggest applying it after toner and topping with a cream. Hydration: Interestingly, while it doesn't provide dramatic moisture, applying it a couple of times can replace your toner, working as both a hydrating toner and cream. In summer, it can be used as a lightweight moisturizer after toner. Its gentle, non-sticky formula makes it great for oily summer skin or as a quick pre-bed application. Recommended Skin Type: I'd recommend this for all skin types except sensitive skin, as I experienced some itching. Price: If I remember correctly, it was around $12. Size: At 180g, it's great value for money. Room for Improvement: Depending on your skin type, those with dry combination skin might experience a slightly parched feeling over time. Also, since it comes in a jar, it's vulnerable to contamination. I recommend using a spatula for hygienic application. Blemish Impact: It doesn't seem to either calm or cause blemishes. However, on days when my skin felt sensitive from prolonged makeup wear, I did experience some itching. Not Recommended For: I wouldn't recommend this for those with super sensitive skin as the itching sensation might be irritating. When you're too tired for a full skincare routine or need to get ready quickly, applying this essence a couple of times on its own works well! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAug 25, 2018
It's nicely moisturizing and just right for everyday use. The price isn't too steep either. It's not a big deal, but how should I put it... there's occasional slight itching. When your skin is extremely dry and dead skin cells are building up, apply a generous amount and gently exfoliate. You'll notice the flakiness subsiding. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 7, 2018
The massive quantity at such an affordable price is already a steal, but snagging it during a sale would be even better. Honestly, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it even without a discount. It's gentle on the skin - no blemishes or flushing - making it a safe and reliable choice for everyday use. My eyes felt irritated, unfortunately. I usually apply my regular cream around my eyes instead of buying a separate eye cream, but when I woke up the next day, my eyes were stinging. I'd advise against using this near the eye area. It pairs well with Hatomugi skin toner. Both are affordable and come in generous sizes, so it might be worth giving them a try together. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinDec 21, 2017
It was good that it wasn't sticky and was moisturizing It seems like it would be really good for people with a good fit I guess you could say my skin got itchy There is some irritation. The skin is fine, but I'm not sure about the gel essence
