Pros
My skin type is dehydrated oily. In the morning, I just apply this and it gets absorbed quickly, leaving my skin feeling moisturized, so my makeup applies well. I've been using it since winter and didn't feel dryness even in the winter. It has an essence-like texture and doesn't interfere with makeup at all. It has become my go-to morning base. The dropper-type packaging allows for hygienic application.
Cons
The packaging doesn't show the remaining product, so it's hard to tell how much is left. And the price is a bit on the higher side.

Pros
🍓Review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer🍓 I received this as an event item!!😘 It really helps my makeup apply well!! 💚I'm normally a dry-skinned person, so my makeup would always flake and crack...🙈 But after using this, I can feel my skin becoming more moisturized😍and when I use it before bed, my skin looks better in the morning - is that just my imagination?? Also, I have acne-prone skin, so I can't use just anything, but because the ingredients are good, I didn't break out at all!!!!🙂ㅎㅎ Anyway, I think I'm quite satisfied with using this!
Cons
There's nothing really bad, but if I had to say something, there's a bit of a sticky feeling!!😅And as a student, the price is a bit burdensome for me to buy with my own money😓
Tip
It's best not to apply it around the nose area!! Since the nose area is usually more oily, too much oil can cause breakouts!!!

Pros
✨Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review✨ To summarize for busy readers, ❗️There is no dramatic effect on atopic dermatitis.❗️ ❗️Especially since I am applying a very moisturizing natural cream as the final step, it was difficult to know the effect of the essence alone.❗️ ❗️However, the immediate moisturization after application seems quite good.❗️ First of all, I have been suffering from atopic dermatitis severely! After middle and high school, it had naturally subsided except for localized areas like my arms, knees, and neck, but since I turned 20 last year, it has been gradually worsening, and within 3 weeks this year, it has covered my entire face😭😭😭 (I don't know the cause, but I suspect it may be due to the cheap plywood furniture I brought into my new place when I started living alone last year, as well as stress and lack of sleep ㅠㅠ) So my face is red, itchy, with severe flaking, and very, very, very dry (when I put on makeup, in severe cases, my skin feels so tight that it's difficult to open my eyes in the evening ㅠ) So I was looking for a ❗mild❗ product that could thoroughly moisturize my skin. I didn't expect this product to improve my atopic dermatitis. (As those suffering from it know, once atopic dermatitis acts up, it's almost impossible to treat with regular cosmetics, not even medication😭) I just wanted a product that is less irritating, yet moisturizing and nourishing. So I decided to try this product since the ingredients are mild. After using it consistently, while it didn't seem to improve the atopic dermatitis symptoms themselves, the moisturization is definitely good! To explain my cleansing routine, after washing my face, it becomes extremely tight and irritated, so I immediately soothe and rehydrate with an aloe vera moisturizer that I keep in the fridge. Then I apply this essence. (I used to apply toner first, but that felt too weak and just skimmed the surface. It was also irritating.) The essence itself has a slightly thick, sticky texture, so it didn't apply well on my dry bare face, but after lightly hydrating with the aloe, it applied much better. And then After that, I finished with toner, lotion, and a moisturizing cream! Doing it that way, the tightness of my skin definitely felt reduced. The moisturizing cream is particularly good for severe atopic or psoriatic dermatitis, so I'm not sure if the essence itself had an effect.😅😅 Of course, by morning my face becomes a bit stiff again ㅠ It seems inevitable due to the nature of atopic dermatitis ㅠㅠ But since the ingredients are mild and lightweight, I'm glad I can use it freely! The photos are: 1. Immediately after washing my face (You can see the pronounced wrinkles under my eyes due to the dry skin from the atopic dermatitis!) 2. After applying the aloe cream + essence (The moisture has made the wrinkles less pronounced, and my skin has a bit of a glow! The skin texture itself is quite damaged, so applying the essence makes the poor condition stand out a bit, but in reality, my face looks a bit more lively) 3. The product texture. (It's transparent and thicker than expected, with a dense texture.) 4. Fingers before applying the essence 5. After applying. (This photo is just of the essence on my fingers! My skin is still red and swollen, but the flakiness and tightness have been soothed!) ❗️If your skin concerns are just mild dryness and not as severe as mine, you may definitely see good results with this!❗️
Cons
My skin was in a very severe state of atopy, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see much of an effect even with the essence. Also, the texture is a bit sticky, so those with oily skin may feel it's too heavy.
Tip
I haven't been able to try various methods because of my atopic dermatitis, so I can't wear makeup. However, for those with very dry skin who find the texture too sticky and thick, I recommend first hydrating with an aloe vera moisturizer to provide initial moisture, and then applying an essence - this should work well!

Pros
🥰 Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review 🥰 My skin is quite sensitive, but there was no stinging or irritation when I applied it. It's not very irritating. My skin was experiencing severe dryness due to the seasonal changes, but this product resolved the dryness. I usually don't apply many products to my skin, and using too many tends to overload my skin, but this only required one application without any tightness. Skin types may vary, but this is a moisturizing essence that can be applied without any issues.
Cons
It's in a dropper form, but the contents don't dispense very well. Apart from the lack of tightness, I couldn't find any other notable functions. They said it wouldn't be sticky, but there is some stickiness, though it becomes less noticeable after absorption.
Tip
If I apply it to my face with some water remaining after cleansing, I can apply it without any stickiness.

Pros
🎉🍓Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review🍓🎉 It's already been 2 weeks, but it took me a while to write this. I'm sorry about that. Before using this product, I had already applied a scar cream for my acne scars and finished my basic skincare routine with just a lotion. But I always felt like my skin was a bit dry and lacking something. Normally, when I think of essences, I feel like they would be greasy, sticky, and heavy, and just sit on top of the skin. But to my surprise, this one was not heavy at all and applied very lightly. It was great!👍 It absorbed quickly, so even when I was in a rush in the morning, it didn't feel burdensome at all. I often thought I wouldn't be able to finish the bottle because it kept my skin so moisturized with just a small amount. The fact that it's free of irritating ingredients is truly amazing. Even expensive creams and products tend to have a lot of those, but I wonder how you managed to make this without them.😍
Cons
On the first day, my skin might have been a bit sensitive, but some small bumps did appear. However, nothing showed up on the following days.
Tip
I apply an amount about the size of the first segment of my index finger on each cheek. When I cleanse with really cold water and then apply it, it absorbs even more smoothly and plumply.

Pros
💗Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review💗 My skin type is dry. If you're looking for an essence that satisfies dry skin, give this a try. You won't regret it! I definitely feel less dryness. I usually cleanse my face and apply the essence around 9-10 PM, and when I wake up in the morning, my skin doesn't feel dry. Normally in the morning, there's a bit of tightness and stuffiness, but the lasting power is satisfactory~! Even if I had bought this with my own money, I wouldn't have felt it was a waste. I plan to repurchase. The volume is generous, and the price is in the 20,000 won range, so it's not burdensome and it's great. I'm glad it's fragrance-free. I have many skin, cream, and oil products that I don't use because the scent is too strong or unpleasant. The fragrance is satisfactory!
Cons
The absorption is a bit slow. While the absorption is slower, there's no greasy feeling. Over time, it does get fully absorbed. I apply it with a massaging motion until the absorption is complete. There's also a slight stickiness. The stickiness isn't severe enough to make me want to rinse it off, as it's not suffocating or excessively sticky. Since the formula isn't a runny water type, the dropper doesn't draw up the product well. There's a bit of inconvenience. I have to press down firmly to get a sufficient amount to come up.

Pros
❤️ Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review❤️ After receiving and using the product for 2 weeks, my skin was irritated and itchy due to fine dust troubles. However, the cool gel texture helped soothe my irritated skin and reduced the itchiness. The product is fragrance-free and, most importantly, gentle yet hydrating for my dry skin. I applied it in the evening before bed, and when I woke up in the morning, my skin felt supple and moisturized. It was a perfect fit for my dry skin. Key Features: -Colorless and fragrance-free -Slightly viscous texture with a cooling sensation upon application -Texture between a gel and an essence -Leaves a slightly bouncy and supple finish
Cons
However, the one downside I noticed while using the product is that the texture is quite sticky, which I personally don't prefer. The formula is more viscous and bouncy, somewhere between an essence and a serum, so the absorption is a bit slower compared to a typical essence.
Tip
Since the essence has a bouncy and viscous texture, applying a hydrating cream or emulsion on top can help seal in the moisture and prolong the hydrating effects.

Pros
☑️ Review of the Hwahae Trial Reviewer used for the past week 1. Improvement in inner dryness I have very dry and sensitive skin, but using this product immediately improved the inner dryness. Since it's not drying, breakouts don't seem to occur. 2. No breakouts As mentioned above, I have sensitive skin and even using mild products can sometimes cause breakouts. But with this, my skin didn't get red or have any breakouts after using it. 3. Absorption Even when using good ingredients, some serums don't absorb well and leave a sticky residue, which can lead to breakouts. But this one, although the texture is quite thick, absorbs right away. 4. Seems effective for atopic dermatitis I had atopic dermatitis when I was young, and my legs still get flare-ups in the winter. Since this is called 'Atocure Heal', I tried it on my atopic areas and it seems quite effective. But regular moisturizing would also work, so I'm not sure if I need to specifically buy this for atopic skin. The before and after photos show a clear difference.
Cons
1. Dropper As others have mentioned, the dropper is quite frustrating. The thick texture means I have to press the dropper down multiple times to get one drop out. And the opaque packaging makes it hard to see how much is left. The slow dropper also makes me feel like I'm using up the essence faster.
Tip
For those with inner dryness and sensitive skin, this is a product worth trying without any regrets. I also plan to repurchase it. However, it seems this essence was made primarily for improving dryness, and doesn't have additional effects like whitening or pore care.

Pros
Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review The period when I started writing this was when my skin condition was: ovulation period + incompatible sunscreen test + use of foam cleanser, which damaged my skin Even though I already had an oily skin type, the oil-water balance was completely disrupted, and my skin was just exploding with oil, with tons of small pimples popping up, my face was itchy and in chaos. That's when I started using this product. Skincare Routine: After cleansing with a mildly acidic foam cleanser, I wiped with a cleansing pad and only applied the Atopience Essence. Even though I have an oily skin type, I didn't feel any dryness, and I felt the intense itchiness that was troubling me was relieved. At the time, my skin was in an oil explosion phase, so in the morning, after cleansing, I only applied aloe, and I only applied the essence in the evening. By reducing my skincare routine this way, my skin recovered within a week. For that one week, I didn't wear any makeup at all. Now, my oil-water balance is completely restored, so in the morning I apply aloe and also the essence. Advantages Absorption: It has a slightly viscous texture, but it's not completely sticky. It's a lightweight, refreshing formula. The best part is the amazing absorption. It doesn't just dry out and disappear, but leaves a slightly sticky finish. So for oily skin types, if you cleanse, apply the essence, and then do your makeup, it adheres like glue, which is great. Ingredients: I was really worried about trying this, given how extremely sensitive and disrupted my skin was, but fortunately, it didn't cause any further breakouts. If the ingredients didn't agree with my skin, it definitely would have made the situation worse, but there didn't seem to be any irritating factors.
Cons
Dropper: It doesn't get absorbed well. I haven't finished it yet, but it seems like a good portion of it won't be usable.
Tip
For oily skin types, you can significantly reduce your skincare routine to just cleansing and applying an essence, as it won't leave your skin feeling dry.

Pros
*Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review* The product was really great for me, even though I'm quite careless. It kept my skin moisturized for a long time and helped my makeup apply well even before the application stage:) The texture is not too watery, but rather bouncy and spreadable. It's completely unscented and colorless. Before makeup, just a few drops absorbed into the skin after cleansing, and there was no tightness, it was just perfect😁 Even when my oily-skinned mom used it, she liked how well the makeup applied as long as she adjusted the amount and let it absorb properly. For my sibling's acne-prone skin, it was calming, and after using it consistently for a few days, the breakouts seemed to subside, which was great😊
Cons
First of all, the dropper really doesn't dispense the product unless you press down firmly. The dropper design is very good, but the suction power seems a bit weak compared to the thick, bouncy texture. You have to absorb it in little by little over several applications. It doesn't get absorbed into the skin immediately. There is also a slight stickiness.
Tip
Before makeup, just use one or two drops and then apply your other skincare products. This will help your regular skincare and makeup apply even better😁 The price point is a bit high, but I don't feel the product is overpriced for what you get. It's definitely worth it☺ Highly recommended☺
