If I apply a cream after using this, my skin feels quite hydrated.
ConsAs I usually only use gentle products, this essence caused severe blemishes on my first use. While I'm prone to acne, I've never had my entire face break out in tiny white pimples before. This is the first time a skincare product has completely upset my skin.

Before diving into the review, I should mention that I have extremely acne-prone skin that reacts badly to certain ingredients - my skin can flare up after just one day of using an incompatible product. So please keep in mind that this review is based on my experience with a new product on my very sensitive and high-maintenance skin. First impressions: The texture feels very much like a toner! It has a watery, fluid consistency. There are some plankton-derived nutrients that settle at the bottom, so you need to shake the bottle before use. Even though it's a basic skincare product, I always find this mixing process kind of fun. Despite my chronic acne and sensitive skin, I found this to be a pleasant essence to apply. It feels refreshing and lightweight on the skin. After application, it absorbs well and leaves a lasting feeling of hydration. I noticed an immediate brightening effect on my complexion. My routine was to apply a light layer of toner after cleansing, then use about a 500 won coin-sized amount of essence all over my face, patting it in gently. I then cupped my palms over my face to help it absorb, as per the instructions. While the directions suggest using a cotton pad, I preferred applying it directly with my hands to avoid waste. The product design is fresh and elegantly weighty - it's quite attractive!
ConsI used this product consistently for a week, maintaining my usual skincare routine of thorough cleansing, masking every other day, and simply adding this essence to my regimen. Unfortunately, I've had to stop using the essence because my skin reacted badly. I developed small blemishes, and my skin became extremely rough - it truly felt like my face was 'turning inside out'. I suspect there might be some ingredients that don't agree with my skin. I've been exclusively using very gentle, clean products, so this sudden introduction of potentially stronger ingredients (although the product itself didn't feel harsh at all!) seems to have upset my skin's balance. Given the price point and my interest in the product, I'm considering trying it again slowly to see if my skin can adjust over time. Regarding the scent - it's not that it smells bad, but it's... peculiar. I've never really focused on product fragrances before, but with this one, every time I use it, I find myself wondering if I like the smell or not. It's an unusual scent that I can't quite put my finger on.
