Pros
Although this type of essence was quite popular when I bought it out of curiosity, I never had any skin troubles. My skin used to be quite dry and flaky, but after using it for a few months, the dryness and flakiness significantly improved. My skin tone also seemed to brighten up a bit. At first, it felt just like water, but it actually has some moisturizing properties.
Cons
On its own, it wasn't enough to keep my skin hydrated, so I had to use other products afterwards. I didn't really feel like it helped with the moisture levels. I used it for over a year, but the initial improvements in terms of reducing flakiness and brightening my skin tone were only temporary. After that, I just kept using it because it was a hassle to switch, hoping it would get better, but I didn't really see any major effects.
Tip
If the full-size S*2 is too pricey, trying out this product as a sample could be a good option. You can often find online deals like 1+1 or 50% off for this product.

Pros
I bought this product when I saw it on sale at Lohbs. I was curious about this first essence, as I heard it's good for gentle exfoliation without irritation. At first, I didn't feel much, but when I don't use it, my skin feels a bit rough. I've been using this toner morning and night, and it's the only one I've tried. My skin doesn't feel tight, and it seems to help the absorption of the next products. I thought it was just an average product, but I've already used up two bottles...ㅎ (Since I've used up two bottles, I'll switch to the Sikreet Key one) Sikreet Key is really doing a great job!
Cons
The scent is strange. Ugh, the fragrance is too strong, so I don't use it on my nose area ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Be careful around the nose area, avoid the nose area.
Tip
Soak a cotton pad generously and gently wipe it over your skin twice. Gently pat, without applying too much pressure, and it seems to help regulate the sebum as well.

Pros
I have been using this product for about 1-2 years. It is grease-free, making it suitable for oily skin, and I have noticed a whitening effect. It is also more affordable than the original cosmetic brands, and it applies well after cleansing when the skin is dry.
Cons
The moisturizing power is not great. Depending on the product, there may be a strong alcohol-like or fermented smell.
Tip
Use this product to soothe the dryness after cleansing, and then use an electric shaver to shave and a skin toner to refine the skin texture.

Pros
I bought it for around 10,000 won at [Your good_text here]. It's not exactly a strong recommendation, but it seems usable. It's for dry skin, but it's not too drying, and the moisturizing power seems somewhat decent.
Cons
The disappointing part was that they heavily promoted the galactomyces ingredient, but it actually only contained 0.01% of it, which was a bit disappointing.

Pros
I used to only use a moisturizer, but my skin got too dry, so when this was on sale and seemed gentle, I bought it. It's a watery product, so I have to apply it several times for it to absorb, but then there's no tightness afterwards. I always stock up on this product.:)
Cons
While I couldn't feel it on my skin, I'm concerned that one of the ingredients is not good.
Tip
If you apply it several times, it becomes very moisturizing and there's no tightness! Of course, you'll need to apply another moisturizer on top of it as well!!

Pros
I have sensitive skin and trouble-prone skin, so I didn't use the samples I received because I didn't want to use just anything. But I heard the essence is good for acne-prone skin, so I tried it, and it didn't cause any breakouts and worked well. I used to just apply a moisturizer after washing my face, but since my skin was getting dry, I ended up applying too much, and it felt like there was more oil. But when I apply this first, I only need to use a little moisturizer, and my skin doesn't feel dry, so it's been good. I plan to purchase it once I've used up the sample.
Cons
When I only use this, my skin feels dry, and there's an alcohol-like scent. So I thought the ingredients were bad, but looking at it here, the ingredients seem better than I expected, so I'm surprised.

Pros
I really love the water-based formula, so I'm completely satisfied with it. I use it together with the starting cream... The T-zone used to get very shiny, but I've noticed a significant improvement lately... There's no tightness or discomfort either.
Cons
The fragrance is a bit... well, you know... Being a water-based formula, it might get used up quickly, as others have mentioned.
Tip
It works great as a skin toner. I just soak a cotton pad with it and apply it. The affordable price makes it a worry-free purchase.
