It left my skin feeling refreshed!
ConsI wish there was more product in the container! The amount is a bit disappointing.
TipFor best results, wash your face with cold water in the morning and immediately apply the product for a refreshing feel.

It's incredibly refreshing and not too heavy. The absorption is amazingly quick! It's such a pleasure to apply every time. Since it's Haruharu WONDER, I feel even more reassured, and I've never had any issues with it.
ConsFor those with extremely dry skin, this might feel more like just a toner.
TipIf you have combination dehydrated skin, you might want to layer this product for extra hydration. Those with super sensitive skin should note that it absorbs well without causing irritation.

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.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I don't like products that are too oily or leave a sticky, heavy feeling after application. This one absorbs well with a fresh feeling, which I really appreciate. It's quite impressive how it sinks into the skin.
ConsIt might be a bit too light for dry skin types, and it feels a tad drying for winter use.
TipThis moisturizer seems better suited for summer rather than winter. If you have super sensitive skin, you might want to consider your skin's needs before purchasing.

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.

First off, as it's an essence, it has a bit of viscosity. It's not too watery or too thick - just the right refreshing consistency! When applying my skincare, I first used an aloe soothing gel and then this essence. One pump wasn't quite enough - it didn't leave my skin feeling tight, but I needed about two to three pumps for full coverage. After the essence, I applied the It's** Effector on areas that needed extra hydration, and it worked perfectly for me. My skin type is combination, but leaning towards the dry side. The scent reminds me of the emulsion smell you'd find in public bathhouses. It's like a forest fragrance? I personally enjoy it, but I think the scent might be hit or miss for some people~! Lastly, I would repurchase this product. The ingredients are good, and the Harakeké line seems to suit my skin well. Next time, I'm planning to try other products from the Harakeké line instead of the essence!
ConsThere weren't really any downsides, but those with very dry skin might find this alone a bit insufficient~!
TipIt works great as a base before applying makeup.

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 is a review from The Hwahae Testers! What I loved about this product is that despite it being summer, I always have extremely dry skin and many products sting, but after using this essence for about a week following my toner (without any other products), it's been amazing. As someone with sensitive and dry skin, it's hard to find suitable products, but the Hara Keke essence has a refreshing texture and absorbs well, making it pleasant to use. Even though I skipped the skin and emulsion steps, using just this essence for skincare, the results were very satisfying. The difference between using it and not using it was truly noticeable! I've wanted to try Hara Keke for a while, and now that I finally have, I'm so happy it works well for me. For those with oily skin in summer, I think using just toner and this Hara Keke essence would be sufficient for skincare! I really want to minimize the number of products I use to avoid overwhelming my skin, and this is truly a holy grail item! I finally understand what people mean when they say 'holy grail'!
ConsThe scent? If I had to pick something, I'd say the fragrance is a bit strong, almost like men's cologne? But because the product is so good, even the scent has grown on me, haha!
TipI have sensitive, dry skin. My personal tip is to cleanse, wipe with toner, then pump the essence four times and spread it evenly while gently patting it into your skin. That's all you need for summer skincare! As someone with sensitive skin, I disliked thick applications in summer, but with just this one product, you can skip all the others!

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!

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.ProsThe texture is refreshing and lightweight. It's a highly hydrating product that left my skin feeling moisturized (though temporarily for me) and absorbed well. It seems to sink into the skin quickly too. I think this might be better suited for combination dehydrated, oily, or combination skin types. I'd recommend it to those folks! It seems like a great product for summer when sebum production increases. It absorbs without any pilling, so I'd suggest those with the aforementioned skin types give it a try before applying makeup. (Just a hunch that it might work well for them!) It feels like a gentle and mild essence, and I appreciated that the subtle fragrance wasn't off-putting.
ConsThis product isn't suitable for my dry skin. While it's very hydrating and absorbs well, the moisture disappears quickly. It's truly a lightweight product! I feel like it might even be taking away some of my skin's natural moisture. Right after application, it felt moisturizing, but after a short while, my skin felt extremely dry. It's definitely not enough for those with dry skin. Especially in spring, fall, and winter, this product alone is absolutely insufficient... The product feels too light and seems to evaporate quickly, so it doesn't seem to have lasting hydration. The thought of using only this in fall and winter is daunting. Therefore, I can't recommend it to those with dry skin.

Among essence types, this one is light and refreshing. Even though I have combination dehydrated skin that's extremely oily, it worked well for me. Usually with my skin type, skincare products feel good when applied but then my skin gets too oily or sticky afterwards - but not with this one! These days, I'm only using toner and this essence. On lazy days, I even skip the toner and just apply this essence before bed. It might be enough for oily skin types, but if you have dry skin, you'll probably need to follow up with a moisturizer. It doesn't cause any pilling when applied before makeup. It also absorbs well into the skin. I think it would make a great daily summer product. While it's not mind-blowingly amazing, it doesn't have any noticeable downsides either. Considering the price, it's perfectly fine for everyday use. Some people complain that the bottle is small and will run out quickly, but personally, I prefer to use up skincare products faster (for hygiene reasons) and then either repurchase or try something new. So for someone like me, the size isn't an issue. If you prefer larger sizes, The SAEM often has sales, so it might be good to stock up then.
ConsWhile it was fine for me, I noticed some reviews mentioning that the fragrance is strong! Scent preferences vary from person to person, so I recommend testing it in-store before purchasing. The SAEM frequently has discounts, so it might be best to buy during a sale.
TipIf you have dry skin, you'll probably need to apply a moisturizer after this. This product alone might feel too light for dry skin types.
