A nice, easy-to-use essence that's perfect for summer.
ConsThe downside? It's just... average. There's nothing that really stands out about it. Also, it seems to evaporate rather quickly.

As a man, I find it incredibly lightweight and love the fragrance. I've used it throughout all four seasons, and it absorbs well. I usually dislike products that feel heavy on the skin, but this one doesn't give me that sensation at all.
ConsAfter using it year-round, I found it a bit too light for winter use. During the colder months, I had to layer it with other hydrating products.

ConsI bought this essence out of curiosity because The Saem was pushing their Harukeke line so hard. While there wasn't anything particularly bad about it, there wasn't anything notably good either - it was a rather unremarkable product. I wonder if Harukeke is truly such a groundbreaking plant to warrant a brand's full-scale promotion, or if it's just positioned as a mysterious ingredient due to its unfamiliarity to Koreans, paired with decent product performance? Next time, I'm planning to try the Harukeke ampoule. This essence feels too light and fresh to be called an essence - it might be more suitable as a hydrating gel substitute for summer use.

While the ingredients in Haruharu aren't anything extraordinary, it's perfect for light use. I've been stocking up on it for summers for two years now :) *Since my skin is super sensitive, I'm just thankful if it doesn't cause any blemishes - and this one didn't! *It applies smoothly like a white gel and absorbs well into the skin *Great for combination-oily skin like mine, especially in summer
Cons*It absorbs so quickly that you might end up over-pumping and using too much *The scent is reminiscent of men's emulsion, but without the alcohol note...? *When my skin is particularly sensitive, it can feel a bit chemical *Even for my combination skin, it feels a bit dry in winter It might not provide enough hydration for dry skin types if used alone This product is more suitable for oily skin that lacks moisture, especially during summer

My T-zone is slightly oily while my U-zone is dry, and I settled on this as a light essence for summer use.
ConsWhen I first bought it in 2015, I don't recall the alcohol scent being too strong. But after repurchasing, when the packaging design changed and there might have been some ingredient differences, the alcohol smell became bothersome. Even as I finished using it, I felt uneasy. So next time, I switched to using the Hada Labo serum instead...

It absorbed well without any stickiness. It was great for lightweight application. The ingredients are also satisfactory at this level. The price is affordable if you buy it during sales. The Saem often has sales with significant discounts.
ConsWell... I liked the pump glass bottle, the affordable price, and the subtle fragrance. I just enjoy trying various skincare products, so I didn't repurchase it. I wanted to try something else.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis review comes from The Hwahae Testers! It's a nicely hydrating essence with good moisture content. It applies lightly and smoothly, and doesn't cause any pilling when used as a base layer before makeup. I didn't experience any blemishes from it. While it doesn't have any standout features, it also doesn't have any major drawbacks - it's a pretty standard hydrating essence. It's not particularly rich in texture. Don't expect intense hydration; it seems best suited for combination to normal-oily skin types. I used it alongside my usual Beyond Aqua Line toner and emulsion. After applying the toner in three layers, I pumped this essence twice and finished with the emulsion. I was worried about clogging my pores since I added this to my existing routine, but it didn't seem to have much impact. It just feels like it's giving a light boost of hydration. Perhaps due to the short usage period, I didn't notice any significant changes or effects.
ConsIt has a strong, typical cosmetic scent. Because of this, I tend not to use it before applying makeup and only apply it before bed.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- A review from The Hwahae Testers! I've written only honest facts - First off, I love that it's a pump-type product, which is the most hygienic option. • Absorption: It has a watery, moisturizing texture similar to a hydrating cream. It applies smoothly and evenly. • Absorption: Due to its excellent application, it absorbs very well into the skin. • Hydration: It's lightweight and absorbs well, leaving the skin feeling adequately moisturized, but doesn't provide intense hydration. • Color/Scent: When dispensed, it's an opaque white cream with a cool, refreshing scent. • Recommended skin types: Oily, combination dehydrated, normal • Recommended season: Summer • Price: 15,000 won • Volume: 55ml
ConsAreas for improvement: It's light and moisturizing, making it suitable for daily use in summer. After deep cleansing or when skin feels dry, you might want to layer an additional moisturizer. The scent might be hit or miss for some. Other than that, I don't have any particular complaints. Blemishes: I didn't experience any skin reactions, breakouts, or itchiness from using this product. It was pleasantly mild. Not recommended for: Those with dry or extremely dry skin might find it insufficient. If you still want to try it, I'd suggest layering it with a moisturizer or applying multiple layers.
TipIt's been hot this summer, and even now it gets warm during the day, causing me to sweat occasionally. At those times, it feels a bit rich, but it's great for light application. After exfoliation or deep cleansing, oily, combination dehydrated, and normal skin types might suddenly feel very dry. In those cases, I apply 2-3 layers or use a separate functional product around the eyes and wrinkle-prone areas. If autumn arrives before I finish the product, I plan to add a moisturizing cream. As I've mentioned, this is essentially an essence, so depending on how dry your skin feels, you might notice a difference in wrinkle management whether you apply it lightly or not. You might also consider layering it with other products from The Saem's Harakeke line for added benefits.

I have combination dehydrated skin. When not wearing makeup, I used only the essence, and when wearing makeup, I used it along with a hydrating moisturizer. First off, it's a pump bottle! It was incredibly convenient to use and hygienic, which I really liked. What I absolutely loved was how lightweight it felt! Since I'm prone to blemishes and often feel suffocated when applying multiple products, I usually prefer minimal skincare. Except when wearing makeup, I typically just swipe my face with a toner-soaked cotton pad and call it a day. The Harakeké Essence isn't thick and has a strong moisturizing effect, making it feel fresh and light when applied. It's also not very sticky! You can definitely feel the hydration. While one essence alone might not provide deep hydration, you can feel your face becoming more moisturized as it absorbs. Due to its strong hydrating properties, there's no flaking of dead skin cells or skin tightness. I'm currently using a slightly matte foundation, and before, my makeup would often look patchy. But after using this essence, I can apply makeup without any issues. Also, my skin seems more vibrant, and my complexion has become much brighter while using it. I have some small blemishes, and while they haven't disappeared completely, they're less noticeable now. Throughout my use, I didn't experience any new blemishes or other skin issues. As autumn and winter approach, I'll need more hydration, so I'm planning to try their toner or cream as well. I was lucky to receive the Harakeké Essence, and I'm extremely satisfied with it. When I run out, I'm definitely repurchasing!
ConsIf I had to point out one drawback, it would be the fragrance. Personally, I like the scent. However, it is quite strong. When you first apply the essence, the fragrance is quite noticeable. Also, it seems to linger for a while, as you can still smell it even after some time has passed.

I applied it lightly after toner both morning and evening. The scent wasn't too strong, and I could spread it over my entire face with just a small pump, so it seems like even a small amount will last quite a while! The finish felt fresh and light. Overall, it was a pretty solid product.
ConsFor an essence, the texture felt quite lightweight. As someone with oily skin, I found it suitable, but if you have dry skin, make sure to layer it with other products!
