When my skin was really acting up, everything I applied would make it feel tight, cause redness, and itch. Then I tried a sample of this product, and it was the first time I didn't feel that deep dryness. So I bought the full size and kept using it. Even when I try other products, I always come back to this one. I've settled on this as my go-to serum and I'm already on my third bottle - it's that good for dehydrated, very dry skin! As someone with super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes when using this new product. It absorbs really well, and the dropper is designed to automatically draw up product when you close the cap, so you just need to squeeze it to dispense. Based on reviews from other sites besides the official one, it seems like most people love it. This might be one of those rare products that works consistently for different skin types. However, I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin. This whole line works so well for my skin that still hasn't fully recovered its barrier function. I want to switch all my products - toner, serum, and cream - to this line, but it's a bit pricey... So for now, I'm sticking with just the serum.
ConsPeople with oily skin say it feels like it sits on top of the skin rather than absorbing fully. The texture is slightly runny, so those who dislike even the slightest stickiness might find it a bit heavy.
TipRemember to patch test new products, especially if you have sensitive skin. While this serum works wonders for many, individual results may vary. Consider your skin type and concerns when deciding if this product is right for you.

When I'm too lazy to apply multiple products, I just add this one step to my skincare routine and it completely eliminates dryness. I love it!
ConsIt might feel a bit heavy for summer use, and especially for those with very oily skin, it could be too much!

This essence has been my go-to for years, except during summer. When the seasons change or I face cold winter winds, my skin tends to get very dry. But applying this at night keeps my skin from feeling parched. It has a hydrating formula that absorbs lightly into the skin.
ConsThose with oily skin might find it a bit heavy, and it could potentially increase oil production. I wouldn't recommend it if your skin doesn't typically feel tight or dry.
TipDuring cold winters or seasonal transitions, try mixing a drop of this essence with your foundation. It creates a beautifully hydrated look and gives your complexion a lovely glow.

It's effective for both deep and surface hydration. Perfect product if you want to add just one essence in fall/winter.
ConsThe glass bottle is too heavy... For oily skin types, it feels a bit heavy during summer.
TipWhen I used it in summer, it caused blemishes so I put it away. But when winter came and my skin got dry, I tried it again and it was perfect. Those with oily skin should be careful with the amount they use.

It applies with a rich texture and maintains hydration for a long time. It absorbs quickly with just a little massaging, and I used it comfortably without any deep dryness.
ConsThe rich oil content makes it feel a bit heavy and stuffy in seasons other than winter. It might be better suited for skin types that experience deep dryness.

It was perfect for my oily skin during winter.
ConsFor summer use, it felt a bit too rich and made my skin feel slightly heavy.
TipWhen dealing with severe deep dryness, layering this product a few times works wonders - it tackles the dryness and leaves skin incredibly moisturized!

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.ProsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin (leaning towards oily), I was worried this might be too heavy. But it's perfect as a night ampoule for dry winters! I've used it all winter long, and when applied in the right amount and absorbed well, it doesn't cause blemishes and improves dryness. On days when my skin was super sensitive, I avoided using it as it can be a bit intense. Since it has a rich texture, I paired it with a lightweight moisturizer on days I used this product. The finish is a bit sticky, so I recommend making sure it's fully absorbed.
ConsBecause it's so sticky, if you don't let it absorb properly before applying moisturizer, your skin might feel congested the next day, leading to a pimple or two. Also, on days when my skin was particularly sensitive, it felt quite irritating. This might be due to my oily skin type.
Tip- Ensure thorough absorption - Use with a moisturizer that provides appropriate hydration - Definitely patch test to see if the honey ingredient suits your skin

While it's moisturizing and hydrating, it feels like I've applied honey to my skin. For oily skin types, it might only work if you apply a small amount at night in the dead of winter. Otherwise, it's quite challenging to use. It's just too sticky!
ConsAfter application, the stickiness and tackiness that remain make my skin feel uncomfortable and suffocated.

I really like Skinfood, but I couldn't find anything particularly outstanding about this item.
ConsI bought this after it was recommended as a product that absorbs well into the skin, but I'm not sure if it really does. Strangely, I don't feel like reaching for it... The texture is a bit sticky, which makes it feel somewhat heavy on the skin.

It's gentle without any burning or tingling irritation. Finish - After absorbing into the skin, it leaves a firm, not-too-heavy feeling, making the skin appear plump and supple. Moisturization - You can feel a dense, deeply hydrating effect after absorption. The best part is that it prevents deep dryness even after hours of wear. I used it again after a long time, and I thought it would be perfect for seasonal changes or winter. As someone with sensitive skin prone to barrier damage, I need to keep my skincare routine minimal. I usually finish with just toner-cream or serum-cream in two steps. I love that a small amount provides sufficient hydration. The finish isn't sticky, and I like how it leaves my skin feeling firm and bouncy. There are no problematic ingredients, I experienced no irritation while using it, and it especially seemed to address deep dryness. I'd recommend this essence for satisfying winter skincare!
Cons✓ May feel heavy for oily skin types / Hair sticks to face People who easily feel uncomfortable with a firm finish or rich nourishment might find this too heavy. If you prefer light, watery essences, this may not suit your taste. If you apply too much, hair can stick to your face, so you need to control the amount used.
