It really tackles deep dryness. It feels like it penetrates deep into the dermis, filling the dryness with hydration. I used up one bottle and just snagged three more right before it was discontinued.
ConsI'm halfway through the bottle and still can't tell the difference. The pump dispenser is nice though...
TipCalling all super sensitive skin types! This truly moisturizes deep down! It's not just surface-level hydration!

While I don't typically get blemishes, my skin immediately becomes irritated and red when using products with strong ingredients) Application: Love how it's not sticky Absorption: Absorbs cleanly, feeling like a serum after application Hydration: Slightly insufficient on its own, but perfect when followed with a light layer of moisturizer! Recommended as a reliable hydrating essence
ConsThe lid of the container seems a bit flimsy. It feels slightly loose...
TipI found that applying this essence followed by a moisturizer perfectly balanced the hydration both deep within and on the surface of my skin.

It retains moisture well, preventing deep dryness, and it's not sticky at all.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about it. This essence faithfully fulfills its primary role.

I'm pleased with the affordable price and generous amount of product.
ConsWhen used in the morning, it tends to pill under sunscreen and foundation, so I only use it at night.

Absorbs well, combats deep dryness, and no side effects! Skin type: Dry + Sweaty face in summer with occasional acne / Mild sensitivity to incompatible products Why I bought it: Recently switched to gentler products due to skin issues. Bought a hyaluronic acid emulsion, but it felt drying when applied right after toner. That's when I understood what 'deep dryness' meant. So, I looked for an essence to use before the emulsion and found this on sale at TheSAEM (10,400 won). Texture: As you can see in the photo, it's neither too sticky nor too light! Absorption: Great! It leaves skin feeling hydrated and absorbs smoothly. Scent: Reminds me of my mom's cosmetics? After using unscented products lately, it was refreshing to smell a proper skincare scent. There's something thrilling about it... While not off-putting, it has a slightly strong perfume-like scent, so those with super sensitive skin might want to patch test first. Results: I only added this essence to my routine of toner, emulsion, and cream (all from the same line), and like magic, the dryness disappeared. It applies gently on the face, and I'm very satisfied!
ConsMight not be enough/too much for extremely dry or oily skin. Likely to satisfy those with balanced skin! Caution: The scent is quite strong, so be careful if you have super sensitive skin!! (It's not a bad scent though) As someone with dry skin, I think it might not be enough in winter, but perfect for summer!
TipIf it feels insufficient, you can apply a few more layers without pilling - it absorbs well!

I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks, but this product does an excellent job balancing oil and moisture across my entire face. It even tackles deep dryness effectively. Personally, the oil-moisture ratio in this product suits my skin perfectly - I can skip moisturizer without feeling dry! The lightweight texture absorbs well, and the scent is pleasant without being overpowering. It's non-sticky and absorbs quickly. Even with multiple layers, it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy. For me, it's neither too light nor too heavy, making it perfect for year-round use.
ConsI don't have any complaints. If I had to nitpick, I'd say that because I use it daily, I go through it quickly and need to repurchase often.

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.ProsIt contains fewer harsh ingredients and provides gentle yet effective hydration, which is why I keep using it. The texture is neither too runny nor too thick, making it absorb well and easy to apply.
ConsI'm not sure if it's just me, but the scent seems to have changed. The one I used before had a fresh, clean fragrance, but the new one I recently bought smells more like a typical cosmetic scent. I've gotten used to it and it's not bad, but I wonder if the fragrance has really changed?
TipI find it works best when applied right after using toner or skin, while the skin is still damp. It absorbs even better this way.

ConsPersonally, I'm not a fan of strongly scented products, and this one has an overpowering 'dad's aftershave' kind of smell.

This led to deep dryness, excess oil, and dead skin cells. Even though it's summer, I haven't applied sunscreen once. In this state of extreme dehydration, I started using the Haruharu WONDER essence. What I liked first was that it's almost fragrance-free. The very subtle, natural scent was perfect for me, as I spend a lot of time with my child. It's very gentle and comfortable, causing almost no skin irritation. The lightweight texture makes it versatile - I use it as a booster and even as a toner substitute on my heated skin. I wasn't expecting perfect hydration from just an essence, so I was pleased that it could calm my dead skin cells without irritation and serve as a great makeup base in summer without feeling heavy. It's also great that I can layer it without any heaviness, keeping my skin feeling comfortable.
ConsAs the weather gets cooler, it's not quite moisturizing enough to use on its own. That's the only downside.
TipIt's amazing to use like a soothing gel when your skin is irritated from saunas, swimming, or long outings. I also love putting it on a cotton pad and leaving it on my skin - it works wonders!

Absorbs beautifully As you can see in the photo, it has a slightly translucent, runny texture. It spreads smoothly and transparently when applied. At first, there's a slight feeling of a silicone film, but it's fine once fully absorbed. 2. Hydration on point Despite its watery texture, which made me expect light hydration, it actually provides surprisingly sufficient moisture. It strikes a perfect balance - neither too light nor too heavy. As someone with oily skin, I'm satisfied, but those with dry skin might find it lacking. You may need to layer it with a cream or other products. For oily skin types, this alone could be perfect for light summer use! Overall, it's a solid, reliable product. There's minimal stickiness, and while not perfect, it offers decent hydration. I'm satisfied - it's ordinary but ticks all the boxes!
ConsThe fragrance is too strong... Personally, I prefer fragrance-free skincare, but this product has quite a potent scent. When I first applied it, I thought I'd put on perfume by mistake! It smells a bit like dad's cologne or shaving foam. I wonder if it's really necessary to add fragrance... that's a bit disappointing.
TipIt doesn't absorb super quickly, so apply small amounts and pat gently to help it sink in.
