I've been on and off with it, but overall it's been a staple in my routine for quite some time. There's a slight stickiness, but it absorbs well, so it wasn't a big issue. I mainly used it in the evenings. I noticed significant improvements in my complexion, brightening, and dark circles. I didn't realize how much it was working until someone asked me why my face looked so radiant and where my dark circles had gone. They kept asking what I'd done, insisting I must have visited a dermatologist. When I thought about it, the only new addition to my routine was this product with astaxanthin. As soon as I told them, they rushed off to buy it! I'm still using it because it's been so effective for brightening and reducing dark circles.
ConsThe product quantity is a bit on the lower side, and there's still some stickiness when applied. After years of use, I think this aspect could use some improvement - it's still a bit sticky, unfortunately.
TipDue to the stickiness, it might cause pilling on days when you wear makeup, so I primarily use it at night. Despite this, the effectiveness is still impressive!

It's deeply hydrating. 2. There's no irritation (I accidentally pumped some into my eye and was amazed that it didn't sting at all). 3. It might seem a bit rich at first, but after a few minutes it absorbs well and the oiliness disappears. 4. It's not sticky. 5. It has a smooth, silky application. 6. I love that it has a natural color.
ConsThere's not really anything to complain about, but as someone who doesn't like applying multiple products, I wish this could be an all-in-one solution with added skincare benefits.
TipAfter exfoliating during cleansing, this product just sinks right into the skin! Sidmool is known for making great cosmetics with clean ingredients. I highly recommend trying this if you're dealing with any skin concerns.

This product has a water-based formula without any stickiness. It applies smoothly and feels refreshing at first, but after application, it gives a sensation similar to having applied oil. Rather than feeling slippery, it absorbs into the skin with a firming effect, leaving a slightly glossy finish. Although it's not an oil, it has an oil-like feel. Applying it a couple of times seems to alleviate dryness. However, it might be too heavy for oily skin types to layer. Even for dry skin, it feels a bit heavy, so it might be more suitable for winter use rather than summer. I haven't used it extensively yet, so I haven't noticed any significant visible effects. I'll update after using it more! ++++ Update after using more than half the bottle: After using over half the bottle, I'm seeing some benefits. Firstly, I usually can't use oil-based or moisturizing products because they make my face itchy, but this one feels like oil without actually being oil. It doesn't feel like it's clogging my skin, so after applying it a few times, my dryness has decreased and my skin is gradually improving. It's becoming softer, and the rough texture seems to be disappearing.
Cons- The scent is reminiscent of acetone - Without promotional events, the quantity seems quite small for the price

My sister tried it too and was thrilled with how much it evened her skin tone. It's often on sale with buy-one-get-one deals, so it's great value for money. I also appreciate how friendly the Sidmool company is. Even though it has a rich texture, it's not too heavy for oily skin and absorbs well!
ConsFor the first month or two, I was really satisfied with this product. But for some reason, my super sensitive skin started to react to it over time. The brightening effect was so good that I tried to push through, but I ended up giving it to my sister. She actually loves it though! I just have particularly sensitive skin that doesn't agree with many ingredients.

I tried it for two months during September and October. While the effects weren't immediate, after about two weeks, my complexion became clearer and my skin texture felt smoother. It didn't cause any itching or blemishes whatsoever. The formula is water-like, but when applied, it feels like it creates a thin oily film? Surprisingly, it absorbs quickly and doesn't feel greasy. Even those with oily skin could probably use this in winter. There's hardly any scent. Since my dark circles aren't severe, I can't say if it's effective for that issue.
ConsWhile it's a gentle product with some effectiveness, I struggle to feel like it's a must-have. It might be suitable for those looking to streamline their skincare routine, using it between essence/serum and cream to lock in moisture and improve skin texture. However, it doesn't feel compelling enough to buy as a 1+1 deal, which seems a bit burdensome. Also, despite being a pump bottle, it's hard to control the amount dispensed, and the texture might feel a bit off-putting at first.
TipI recommend using it at night rather than in the morning, and storing it away from sunlight! Since it's a 1+1 deal, it might be good to split the purchase with a friend or sister and try it together.

Cons- I bought this to use as a final step after reading many reviews about its rich texture, but my skin still felt deeply dry. - For the first 4-5 days of use, I experienced some blemishes. So, I reduced the amount from three pumps to two, which worked better for me.

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 my personal review after purchasing and using the product myself! I bought this along with a cream from Sidmool. The texture is completely water-like. I use two pumps, rubbing it between my hands. It doesn't dry out like water, but initially has a slight oily feel before absorbing quickly, giving a sensation of enveloping the entire skin. I think this might be the top essence I've used so far! There's no particular scent, it's almost unscented. My skin is combination type, and it tends to get a bit dry with some dead skin cells appearing right after washing. Despite its water-like texture, it doesn't feel drying at all! It gently wraps around the skin, helping to prevent deep dryness.
ConsUnlike other hydrating essences, it doesn't have that burst of hydration, so mixing it with foundation doesn't work well. It pills up immediately. It's fine to use with other skincare products, but I wouldn't recommend mixing it with foundation.
TipI store this product in the refrigerator to add a cooling effect before use! With the added cooling effect, I find it adheres to my skin much better.

After returning from abroad, my skin had a bad reaction, possibly due to different water. However, after using this product, my skin became much smoother and more refined than it was before the reaction!
ConsThe pump dispenser requires careful control of pressure and aim. I can't help but think a dropper might have been a better choice.
TipI pump once on each cheek, but it absorbs too quickly when using just my hands. So, I use an ionic massager to roll it in, which helps it absorb better!

Right after application, there's an oily film, but it absorbs quickly. The scent is so subtle it's almost unscented. ◽Irritation and feel As someone with oily skin, I was hesitant due to the rich feel, but I bought it because in winter my face gets oily while feeling tight underneath. With its light texture, I spread it on my palms and gently pressed it in, like doing 3 layers of toner-emulsion-oil. It was perfect without needing to add cream. At first, it seemed shiny with a film, but after absorption, there was no stickiness or shine - my skin felt moisturized inside and soft outside. I was surprised how much it reduced dead skin cells and deep dryness when I woke up in the morning. After consistently finishing a bottle, I felt my complexion became brighter and my skin texture smoother. Honestly, while oily skin sometimes needs oil products, they're often too heavy to finish. This product gives just enough richness without being as heavy as oil, making it great for oily skin types in winter. (Not for extremely oily skin that gets very oily even in winter, but good for combination or oily skin that gets dry in winter) Although the 1+1 event has a set end date, I've been using Sidmool since 2015 and have never seen the event end^^... Use it with peace of mind without stockpiling. The small size makes it convenient to carry and great for travel. Recently, I've become more curious about GMP-certified companies. As this is manufactured by Piontech, a GMP-certified facility, I'll likely keep using it consistently without switching.
ConsIt's too heavy for summer use, so I order it around late fall and use it until spring.
Tip- I made a mistake mixing it with foundation or base. Forgetting it was orange, I mixed it and applied it to my face, turning into a pumpkin. - If you find the richness too much when used alone, try mixing a little into your emulsion or cream. - Like all cosmetics, but especially because this has a transparent container, store it away from sunlight.
