I decided to try SK-II PITERA™ Essence, which I'd been wanting to use for a while. It's absolutely amazing! Actually, a few years ago, I had to stop using it along with the Bio-Essence due to blemishes. I'm not sure if it was the Bio-Essence that didn't suit me or if my skin condition wasn't right at the time. I forgot about that experience when I bought it again, but I'm so glad it works perfectly for me now. First off, it's really helped with my dry, rough skin. After applying toner twice and then the PITERA™ Essence, I found it rich enough to keep my skin from feeling dry, and it absorbs well too. Maybe it's because my skin is naturally dry? Either way, it seems to help my skin withstand even the driest heated environments. Naturally, my skin condition has improved as a result. If you have dry skin, give this a try. You won't be disappointed. For those with oily skin, I'd recommend testing it first before purchasing. It's quite rich in texture. The packaging is a twist-pump type. The amount dispensed is quite generous, so compared to a dropper, I'm not sure if it has any advantages. The texture is bouncy and glides on the skin without any irritation.
ConsBecause it's so rich, when I apply an emulsion cream over the essence, it can feel a bit excessive. Sometimes it feels like my skin can't breathe - it's a bit suffocating. When my skin was extremely dry due to heating, I was using it as shown in the photo, but that was too much. So I either reduced it step by step or switched to a water-based toner, which helped. And of course, the biggest drawback is the price. I only buy it when it's on sale, and even then, it still feels expensive!
TipPersonally, as I get older, I find myself looking for more functional skincare. When a product is in a higher price range, it gives me the feeling that it's doing something beneficial for my skin...

(Though it's on the fence about breakouts. Recommended for dry skin types without acne issues.)
ConsWhen first applied, it feels extremely rich, like you've slathered on oil. Even after it's absorbed and time has passed, there's a lingering stickiness. It's as if a greasy film has been left on your skin, leaving you feeling uncomfortable and uneasy.
TipIf you have oily skin, just stick to retinol instead.

Personally, I'm not a fan of sticky skincare products (like those from Es*** brown bottle or La*** Genifi***). This one applies smoothly without any stickiness, leaving a nice moisturized feel. 2. Great hydration. Sometimes you come across serums or ampoules with watery textures that don't provide any moisture at all... or on the flip side, some are too rich. I personally prefer a slightly richer feel, but this product strikes a perfect balance. It provides good hydration while still being suitable for those who dislike overly rich products. 3. Complexion and skin texture improvement. I think it's quite effective. I've only been using it for 4 days, but I can definitely see a clearer complexion in the morning. As I'm currently taking care of a 4-month-old baby, I often look tired due to lack of sleep, but my skin condition looks noticeably better in the morning. The skin texture seems improved as well. As for the anti-wrinkle effects, I'm not sure yet. I bought this product in a hurry because I felt my eye wrinkles were increasing rapidly, but I can't tell the difference so far. However, I know that anti-wrinkle effects usually require long-term use, and most cosmetics don't show significant results... Still, I'm hoping it at least prevents further wrinkles and plan to use it consistently!!!
ConsThe price is a bit on the higher side, isn't it? But when you compare it to department store functional cosmetics, it's not extremely expensive. If you look for the best online deals, you can find it at a more reasonable price. Also, the dropper packaging... It dispenses such a small amount, which is frustrating. I'm not rich, but I prefer to apply skincare products generously, so I have to pump it 4-5 times to get enough product. I wish they would change it to a regular dropper or even better, a pump-style dispenser.

ConsTo be honest, I was quite disappointed, so I have more to say here: - The price is steep (80,000 won for a drugstore brand, wow) - It applies thickly (I prefer lightweight products) - The dropper refills automatically when you open and close it, but the amount is so small that those who use a lot might find it frustrating The second photo shows how much it fills up after opening and closing the cap
TipI think they promoted this as some kind of deep sleep serum But I didn't see any dramatic effects And because it applies so thickly, I don't reach for it often

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. I've been using it for almost two weeks before writing this. Even with a small amount, it absorbs well and keeps my skin hydrated. There's a noticeable difference in my face the next morning when I use it versus when I don't. After applying it, I wake up with a glowing complexion, as if I'd done a mask overnight. Because of this, I didn't feel the need to do a separate mask when using this ampoule. Since I've been wearing a mask and not using BB cream or foundation, I've been more diligent about applying sunscreen. After using this ampoule, even applying sunscreen with a somewhat dry texture has become easier. I think it's because my skin texture has improved, allowing for smoother application without pilling.
ConsThose with oily skin might find it a bit heavy. It adheres well to the skin and feels nourishing, so it might feel excessive during warmer seasons. The price point is also on the higher side, which might make it less accessible for some.

Recently, I've become concerned about my nasolabial folds, so I decided to try this ampoule.
ConsAs it's a functional product, it stung when I applied it. It felt too rich on my face and heavy for the current season. However, the hydration was weak, and my cheeks felt dry. I suppose the anti-wrinkle effects take time to show? But the overall feel wasn't compelling enough for me to purchase the full-size product.

I was also extremely satisfied with its almost fragrance-free formula.
ConsIt might have felt a bit heavy on the skin due to its rich texture, but overall it was just okay.

I felt it was slightly rich. It has a bit of an oily feel, so it might be more suitable for dry or combination skin types rather than oily skin. Pros: 1. Perfect for replenishing much-needed oil and moisture during this transitional season when skin tends to get quite dry and sensitive. 2. Didn't cause any blemishes. It seemed quite gentle! 3. The dropper made it easy to control the amount used. 4. Despite its rich texture, it absorbed surprisingly quickly after patting it in a few times. It felt like it was truly penetrating the skin rather than just evaporating. 5. My makeup seems to apply better since I started using this! I think it's due to reason #1 - from about day 2 or 3 of use, my makeup started going on more smoothly.
Cons1. As mentioned earlier, it's a bit rich, so it might be too much to use with a cream for now. While it didn't cause any blemishes, the weather was still quite warm until a few days ago, so applying it all over felt a bit heavy. So I mainly used it on areas that tend to get dry or sensitive like the butterfly zone, middle of the forehead, and chin, while only applying cream to the sides of my face and nose! However, as it's not excessively oily, it should be fine to apply all over once the weather gets drier. 2. They claim it gives a 7-hour sleep effect even if you only sleep for 5 hours... but I'm not sure about that. While it didn't cause more blemishes, I didn't notice any dramatic soothing effect on my skin either. + As the weather suddenly turned cold and dry these past few days, the oil content felt just right for my combination skin. It absorbs well without feeling heavy at all, and gives a sense of replenishing lacking oil and moisture, making it seem suitable for use these days. Considering it's an anti-aging product, it actually feels lighter than most others in that category.
TipRather than patting it in from the start, I found it absorbed better and seemed to fill in the skin more thoroughly when I first spread a thin layer and then patted it in.

ConsAfter applying, it feels a bit heavy on my skin. As I have oily skin, I prefer products that don't feel sticky and leave a fresh sensation, but this one feels greasy and uncomfortable. When first applied, the alcohol scent is overwhelmingly strong. Considering the price, I haven't seen much benefit for my skin.

At first, I was skeptical about the thin consistency, but even with just a small amount, it prevents deep dryness. I think I'll keep purchasing this for the foreseeable future.
ConsThe price is a bit on the high side, which is unfortunate. Sometimes it can be frustrating to use the push-down cap. Although the consistency is thin, it doesn't dispense easily.
