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
The affordable feel of SK2? The absorbing sensation felt great~ It seemed to work well when I used it for a while. No breakouts either.
Cons
The fermented scent..? Anyway, the scent was a bit disappointing at first.

Pros
I was able to purchase it at a really affordable price. It's gentle and good. There's no trouble or anything like that, and since I'm using a sebum toner, I feel like the moisturizing is also decent enough. I'm glad I switched to this.
Cons
There's nothing special about it. It doesn't have a nice fragrance or anything strong like that. It's kind of unscented, but there is some sort of smell to it, I don't know what it is. It's just average.

Pros
I've repurchased it many times and used it. I've used other products too, but I always come back to it. Someone even left a review about it, and it seems to be just so-so, but when I use other products, I end up coming back to it. It has a very mild feel to it, and I like it so much that I keep using it. I'm glad it didn't cause any troubles for me.
Cons
But it's a bit overused, so it feels a bit worn out. To be honest, that's kind of unavoidable, since I've been using it with cotton pads. Haha.
Tip
Sometimes it's also good to use it as a mist by putting it in a spray bottle.

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.
