The gratis items were nice. The price is reasonable too.

Also, the texture is lightweight and not sticky, making it a go-to product for those who dislike heavy textures and prefer something they can easily apply often.
ConsThe scent is a cool, masculine fragrance typical of men's cosmetics, which might be polarizing. It would be nice if it came in various scents. However, the fragrance dissipates quickly, so it's not a major issue. While it's a dual-purpose essence and emulsion, its light texture makes it more suitable for spring and summer use.
TipGiven the current weather, it might feel a bit too light to use on its own. I'd recommend layering it with other products for better results!

When I first opened the product, there was a custom cap on the dispenser. I appreciated this attention to detail, which might be important for those who care about such specifics. 2. The pump-type packaging allows for clean and easy use. 3. The scent is strong and cool, similar to Bvlgari Blue. It might be polarizing, but it fades quickly. 4. True to its name 'Essence in Emulsion', it provides decent hydration even when used alone. My skin is an oily disaster zone with deep dryness and blemishes, but this product delivers sufficient moisture. It might be a bit lacking for dry skin types. 5. The texture is surprisingly lightweight. It's not sticky and absorbs quickly. It also applies smoothly. 6. I experienced no side effects like blemishes, redness, or itching, so I'd consider it gentle by my standards. 7. The quantity is generous, so it should last a while with regular use.
Cons1. Despite being a pump-type bottle, you can't see how much product is left. While the opaque material likely protects against light degradation, it would've been nice to have at least a small transparent strip to check the remaining amount. 2. The initial strong scent might be overwhelming for those who dislike intense masculine fragrances. However, it does fade quickly. 3. The amount dispensed per pump is slightly disappointing. I found two pumps to be adequate, while one pump felt insufficient. 4. It would've been better if the protective cap for the dispenser was attached with a hinge for easy opening and closing, rather than being completely removable. 5. The price is a bit steep. On Hwahae, the regular price is 32,000 won. If it were in the mid-20,000 won range, I would highly recommend it. 6. It's not great at controlling oil production, nor is it particularly moisturizing. Not recommended for oily or combination skin. It's suitable only for normal skin types, while dry skin would need to mix it with other products.
TipI'm not particularly fond of major road shop brand products. I've had quite a few experiences where such products were overpriced and not very effective. Other reviews mention that it lacks moisture for dry skin, and I agree that this product isn't meant for dry skin types. If it provides enough hydration for my extremely oily, problematic skin, it should satisfy most normal skin types. However, it's disappointing that it doesn't control oil well for oily skin. It feels like an all-in-one style product, so those with normal to oily skin could use this alone for daily use without needing to layer multiple products. It's also good to apply after using a skin toner. The main drawback is the price. While the quantity is generous, it's a bit expensive. If you don't have a go-to all-in-one style product, you probably won't regret buying this one.
