For a white emulsion, this product is quite thin. The scent is reminiscent of ointment... haha. The good points are that Cynic offers great value for money as always. There was no stickiness right after application, and it absorbs well. When my face gets flaky or sensitive, it usually stings, but I didn't experience any of that with this product. It might be suitable for those looking for a fragrance-free option that won't cause irritation.
ConsWhat I didn't like was that while it's not exactly slippery, it does feel a bit greasy. They claim it provides a fresh moisturizing feeling, but I didn't find it fresh at all. I felt a slight heaviness on my skin. I don't think it would be suitable for those with oily skin. When the weather is hot, it can make your skin feel a bit itchy.

True to its name, this product has a wonderfully moisturizing texture! When used in combination with the same brand's hyaluronic acid cream, it seems to help combat deep dryness to some extent!
ConsWhile this product is likely very good, it fell short of my expectations, perhaps because I was so impressed with the hyaluronic acid cream. It feels a bit richer than the hyaluronic acid cream. The texture reminds me of COSRX's The Simple Emulsion.
TipUse it together with the hyaluronic acid cream!

ConsThe formula isn't just hydrating, it also has some oil content. As someone with combination skin, it made my forehead and nose quite shiny.
TipI found that using it together with the Scinic Hyaluronic Acid Toner works incredibly well - it's super gentle and they complement each other perfectly!

My nose gets visibly greasy shortly after washing, but if I don't properly hydrate, my skin immediately erupts with dead skin cells. It's a cursed complexion - using products for oily skin leads to a flare-up of dry patches, while using products for dry skin causes yellow, pus-filled blemishes. 1. Sticky feel of the toner It's like nasal mucus in a bottle. You know those runny, sticky toners that absorb quickly? This one leaves a lasting sticky feeling even after application. It's literally like mucus... haha! Personally, due to my severe lack of hydration, I usually layer toners multiple times. With this product, one application is enough to prevent deep dryness. I apply it twice though. 2. Toner's limited absorption Due to its stickiness, it absorbs slowly. After three layers, the more I pat and rub, the less it absorbs, turning into a white, foam-like substance. I'm too impatient to wait for full absorption, so I stick to two layers max. On the bright side, it prevents my skin from feeling tight. 3. Light texture of the emulsion, decent compatibility between toner and emulsion The emulsion is very watery and lightweight. Good thing too, as a heavy emulsion on top of the heavy toner would have been too much. The combination isn't bad - while the toner alone leaves a moist, sticky feeling, adding the emulsion introduces a slight oily sheen. Being an extreme combination dehydrated skin type, it does feel a bit greasier. For me, the toner alone should suffice in summer, and I'll add the emulsion when it gets drier. 4. Clean ingredients in both toner and emulsion Despite having sensitive skin, neither caused any blemishes. In fact, if you have the patience to really work the toner into your skin, you'll see those tiny bumps disappear. My laziness in not massaging it in properly is the real issue!
ConsA product with clean ingredients that's decent but unremarkable. It's great for hydrating without adding oil, if you have the patience to make it absorb.

The ingredients and value for money are excellent, but I'm on the fence about repurchasing. If they change the packaging, I'd be more inclined to buy it again. 1. The ingredients are great. The formulation is relatively simple, and there are no harmful components. 2. It's affordable. I bought it on 11st for around 8,000 won. 3. It contains 5 types of hyaluronic acid. This trendy ingredient is included in both low and high molecular weights.
Cons1. The container isn't very hygienic. As shown in the photo, the inside of the lid has a yellowish tint. It's been like that since I started using it, which makes me uneasy. 2. It's difficult to control the amount dispensed. This is a major drawback. The product flows out too quickly, making it very challenging to dispense the right amount. 3. It feels oily. After applying it before bed, my skin feels greasy the next morning. If you use it at night, you definitely need to cleanse your face in the morning.
TipIt has a runny emulsion texture, so it's best applied with a cotton pad using patting motions.
