On days when my skin feels particularly oily, I only used it on my neck.

The Clarins Double Serum Summer Edition
has separate moisture and oil layers, so you just need to shake it before use. I bought it out of curiosity to match the price at the store, but I didn't know I would be this satisfied. This is the perfect basic skincare for spring and summer, with a well-balanced oil-water ratio.

Before shaking, it's like a toner, but after mixing the oil and water layers, it becomes slightly thicker, with a texture between a toner and an essence. It absorbs quite well, and when you rub it between your palms and press it into your face, the lovely scent is so soothing... Using it alone can lower your stress levels. I think I'll repurchase it once I finish this bottle.

It can be used regardless of skin type, and for combination to normal skin, this alone should be enough in the summer. But for very dry skin, it might not be sufficient.

하이드라 에센셜 인텐시브 바이페이즈 세럼

This serum is great on its own, but when used together with the matching cream from the same line, it creates an even greater synergy and my skin condition improved even more!!

I don't think there was anything particularly disappointing about using this serum!

This serum really moisturizes the skin and makes it bouncy and plump when used!! 💙💦
It resolves dryness and after using this product, the dryness was greatly improved!! It doesn't pill under makeup and helps makeup apply more smoothly and moisturized.
The serum spreads gently on the skin and absorbs well.
The skin texture becomes much softer and the skin condition greatly improves!! My skin is very sensitive and products often irritate or cause breakouts, but I didn't experience any issues like that after using this product!

There's nothing really. If shaking it before use is a hassle, that could be a downside, I guess. The price being a bit high is a bit disappointing too.

At the time, I'm not sure if it's that good, but the moment I stop using it, I realize that my skin is still smooth, I don't have any breakouts, and it was moisturizing.

I think it's great to use the silky cream together with this.
Applying a thin layer of both in the morning also helps my makeup go on smoothly without creasing.

I didn't realize there were so many harmful ingredients in this product.. :(

When used together with this serum and the silky cream, my skin feels incredibly moisturized the next day.
It feels like there's a layer of moisture when I wash my face, which I really like.

None!!! This is a serum that can be used comfortably regardless of the season.

The serum was great as it is a water-based formula, absorbing quickly without any greasiness!

The price range is a bit disappointing.. Other than that, there's no downside.

This is the product I love the most these days.
After cleansing, when I apply it, the feeling of it seeping into my skin is incredibly good. The finish is also refreshing and non-sticky.
The scent is also super nice. I think I'll keep using it for a while.

It's expensive, I guess.. I'm using it as a substitute for a toner, but it's pricey ㅜㅜ

The Clarins products generally work well for my highly sensitive skin!!

The price is a bit high, so I'm hesitant to purchase it. The good fragrance makes me think the product contains fragrances that may not be good for the skin. However, there are no significant downsides.

The scent is pleasant. My family says the Bareunal product has a strong, nice fragrance. The texture is also good. When applied before bedtime, it leaves a moisturized feeling until the next morning. I received a sample and used it, which made me want to purchase it. The blue color gives a refreshing impression. As I have oily skin, I usually don't buy products with oils, but this felt light and good to use in the winter.

Use toner and moisturizing serum after cleansing.

The price is expensive. It runs out quickly as it takes about two pumps to use.

Maintains moisturizing power for dry skin in winter. This product has been used for 10 years.

It doesn't have a dramatic effect, but it's good for everyday use.

The five bottles seem a bit bitter, but they're quite affordable for a Cravens essence, so that's good!

1. The price point can be a concern
2. It needs to be shaken before use (but this is not a major inconvenience)

1. My all-time favorite hydrating essence
I've tried various hydrating serums, essences, and ampoules, but they would only feel moisturized when applied and then feel like the moisture was escaping over time.
However, the Clarins hydrating essence has amazing lasting power.:)
It has a light, watery-like, skin-like texture, but the moisture doesn't evaporate and deeply penetrates into the skin.

2. The lightweight and fine particles feel great on the skin without any heaviness.

Be sure to shake it before using.
I apply it by putting it on both hands, then alternating between my right and left hands to spread it on my face (after cupping my face with both hands and crossing over once more). Since it's a mix of water and oil, it has a different weight than other products.

After using it for a while, there's a defect where the pump doesn't dispense evenly and it sprays out to the side. Even just pumping it once covers the whole face, so the amount doesn't seem to go down much. 😅
It's said to have a lot of harmful ingredients (but only 2 besides the dye and fragrance).

This is a good moisturizing serum to use. It has oil mixed in, so the moisture lasts longer. The fine particles absorb well, and the blue color gives a refreshing, moisturized feeling.
Personally, I like this better than the double serum. Using the lifting serum at night and this one during the day works great for me.
