♡The mugwort scent is nice The calming effect of the mugwort scent was a plus point for me. It seems to provide some mental and physical comfort, perhaps due to its natural aroma. However, if you dislike the mugwort scent, this would not be an advantage. ♡Suitable for trouble-free application As a water-based formula, it applies well and feels refreshing. It is not a drying skin type. Considering the formula, applying it two to three times should provide sufficient hydration. ♡Affordable during sales, and the glass packaging is pleasing with no major downsides.
Cons
☆There is no major impact, and it is similar to other existing mugwort line products from different brands. ☆There are no particular downsides, and it would be good if it came in a larger size as well.

These days, it's too cold and dry, and my skin has been getting more and more sensitive from wearing a mask every day. 😞 My skin doesn't get along well with toners, so I've been using only cream-type products for my basic skincare routine. One day, my skin felt so tight that I couldn't even speak, and I had redness and small bumps on my face. I thought I had to do something, so I picked this mugwort product, as I heard mugwort is good for soothing the skin. The fact that it's a single-ingredient product made me trust it even more, and the scent was also nice and subtle. The price was a bit steep, but it was on sale, so I got it at a really good price. 👍 It's a first essence, so I apply it right after cleansing. On the first and second day, I saw amazing results - the dryness went away, and my skin was properly hydrated. The redness and the stubborn breakouts on my chin and forehead also calmed down. But why did it only get 3 stars?😑
Cons
On the third day of using it, I suddenly got breakouts in areas where I never had any issues before. But the small bumps on my forehead, which I had a lot of, became smoother. Weird... I think I might have used too much of the product, because I ended up getting some new cystic acne that I've never had before. 😭😭 So I tried using just a little bit, and the next day, I saw that... Yes, this product is also a no-go for me. I'll just stick to the cream I already have, even if my skin still feels a bit tight. I'm so frustrated that I can't seem to find the right product for my skin these days. ㅠㅠ
Tip
⚠️Since it's a single-ingredient product, those with very sensitive skin should definitely do a patch test first.

I bought toner pads from Daiso and used this essence, and the heat sensation decreased a lot~ I have a lot of heat on my cheeks, and it's really good in the summer. Especially when used after refrigerating, it's really refreshing~^^
Cons
I didn't have any particular dissatisfaction because it suited my skin well.
Tip
Try buying toner pads from Daiso, adding essence, and using them.

You recommended something lightweight, but it doesn't seem to have any real benefits.
Cons
After just one day, I started getting one or two blemishes, and they just kept getting worse. The fragrance doesn't even smell good... It really stings my eyes. You recommended something lightweight, but ㅠㅠ
Tip
I'm at a loss on what to do. ㅠㅠ

Since it's a single-ingredient product with mugwort, it seems good that those who don't react well to mugwort can use it comfortably. The moisturizing and soothing effects were quite good, and the scent was nice too! I like natural scents.
Cons
There wasn't really any major downside. Compared to other brands' mugwort essence products, this one wasn't bad.

I'm not sure if there are any particularly good points about this First Essence product compared to others.
Cons
The mugwort scent seems to be not so pleasant, in my opinion. Personally, I like the fresh mugwort scent of Hanyul products, but this product's mugwort fragrance lingers after use and feels more like a medicinal herb scent rather than a refreshing grassy, mugwort one. I couldn't say I found the slightly bitter and pharmaceutical-like scent to be pleasant.

The subtle mugwort scent was pleasant to me. It seems to work well as a booster.
Cons
There's really nothing I'm dissatisfied with.^^ If I had to pick something, I wish the price was just a little bit cheaper.
Tip
After soaking a cotton pad and wiping it off, I think it's good to dab it on areas of concern and pat it in to absorb.

It absorbs completely like a skin without any stickiness, which I really like. Of course, it's also great for hydration. It's perfect for light use in the summer.
Cons
I didn't really have any disappointing aspects while using it. If there was a downside, it would be that it has a floral scent.

Even when your skin condition is poor, this can be used without irritation as it is gentle. It seems to be because it's summer, but using this alone feels sufficiently moisturizing.
Cons
At first, it just had a comfortable mugwort scent, but after absorption, it's like a garlic smell.... Ugh, did I just come back from an intense makeout session or something? But I guess I can't really complain, haha.
Tip
Buying it at the original price is a rip-off.

The subtle mugwort scent is pleasant every time I use it. It has a watery toner-like consistency, so I apply it as the first step after cleansing, or I also spritz it from a mist bottle whenever I want. When applied, the product feels really gentle, and my skin feels comfortable, so I'm satisfied. I can just add a moisturizer after using it as a toner substitute, and that's enough.
Cons
There's nothing disappointing, but since the essence concentration is not high and it has a mugwort scent, some people with specific preferences may be dissatisfied.
Tip
You can also spritz it from a mist bottle whenever you want. It's a really gentle product.
