Hmm...? There's really nothing... Nothing at all, I don't know what to write (scratches head)

The hydration is great~ I've tried a few hyaluronic acid ampoules, and this one seems the best among them.
Cons
The lavender scent is quite strong... I prefer unscented products, so this might be a hit-or-miss for me.

The package is adorably cute, resembling a bar of soap. Although the transparent liquid formula initially had an unpleasant scent to me, my roommate found it pleasant, so it seems to be a matter of personal preference. Since it does not contain any artificial fragrances, I think that's even better. I usually enjoy applying multiple lightweight skincare products, and this one is light enough to layer well with a moisturizer afterwards. When applying it during makeup, there is no pilling or heaviness, even if I use the same amount as before bedtime. After application, my skin feels plump and bouncy, making it easy to pat in and absorb.
Cons
This product may not be suitable for those seeking visible transformative effects or a heavy, moisturizing feel.

- Even when applied generously, it is quickly absorbed into the skin when patted down. After absorption, there is no residue left on the skin, giving a refreshing and non-sticky finish. Ideal for use in the summer. - The formula absorbs quickly and leaves no tacky residue on the skin, giving a refreshing and lightweight finish.
Cons
- I didn't know the ingredients contained alcohol. That might be why, despite the refreshing and non-sticky feel, it doesn't feel as intensely moisturizing as expected.

The product has a nice absorbing feel, so it applies very smoothly. It also has a soothing effect when applied. When I wake up the next morning, my skin feels soft and smooth, which makes me feel good.
Cons
However, this product alone is not enough for my dry skin. After a while of using it, my face feels tight, and flaky skin appears on my nose. I want to keep using this product, but my skin is dry.

•Texture and Fragrance: A gel-type with a viscosity that doesn't drip. The fragrance is quite unique. It has a scent reminiscent of watercolor paint that has been squeezed out. •Spreadability: When applied thinly, it maintains an adequate level of moisture while being quickly absorbed. At night, it can be applied more thickly and still feels comfortable without any stickiness. •Moisturizing Power: After 7 skin toners, a thin layer leaves a nicely hydrated finish. In the summer, I could finish with just an essence, but from the transitional seasons onward, I need to apply a moisturizer/nourishing cream as well to prevent dryness. •Combination/T-Zone Dryness and Sensitivity: Even after using it for about 10 days, my dry and sensitive cheeks remained calm and free of blemishes.
Cons
The ingredients are gentle and the moisturizing power is quite good, but the slightly sticky texture made it less appealing to use during the summer.
Tip
It seems best to apply a thin, single layer after thoroughly completing the skin care steps.

This is truly one of my essential products The good ingredients pass the test, and on top of that, it's incredibly hydrating After applying it, the immediate feeling of moisture replenishment is so pleasant - my face instantly looks brighter It forms a proper skin barrier, and also has excellent soothing properties I highly recommend this as a barrier essence, especially for the summer season If your skin feels a bit vulnerable today, like the skin barrier is compromised, then start by building it up well with a toner, and then apply this essence generously and let it absorb - your skin will recover remarkably by the next day
Cons
Due to the nature of hyaluronic acid products, applying too much can lead to a peel-off effect. I'd recommend applying it in the evening for those who wear makeup In the winter, it would be good to mix in a richer cream. In the summer, this essence paired with a hydrating gel was the perfect combination for me

I was very worried about having sensitive skin, but this product worked well for me. It's gentle yet moisturizing, and I'm quite satisfied with it. I would like to purchase it again.
Cons
There's nothing particularly bad about it, but I would like to buy the larger size if it becomes available. It applies well, but it still seems to run out quickly.

As someone with combination skin, I often found that even if using essences or creams helped alleviate dryness to some extent, the excess oil would still come up, making my skin feel more congested and prone to breakouts. This product is refreshing and absorbs quickly, providing hydration without any oiliness. I was pleasantly surprised that despite not feeling overly moisturized, my skin felt incredibly soft and supple without any tightness or flakiness. The hydration felt just right, leaving my skin healthy and balanced.
Cons
When I first used it, I applied it after my regular toner, and it seemed to absorb less well, leaving a very sticky residue. My hands felt tacky even after application, which was quite unpleasant. You have to be careful with the application, as it can easily become sticky if not done properly.
Tip
However, when I used it on its own or after thoroughly absorbing other base products, it applied smoothly without any stickiness, and the finish was soft and pleasant.

1. Gentle Ingredients For basic skincare products, I prioritize the ingredients, and this essence did not contain any of the 20 main irritating ingredients. So I was satisfied with the ingredients. 2. Moisturizing Power Since I have oily skin, I prefer lightweight moisturizing, and this product being an essence rather than a cream, it had a noticeably lightweight moisturizing effect. It may not be enough for dry skin types, but for me, the moisturizing level was just right. 3. Packaging The design reminds me of rice grains, and the size fits comfortably in one hand. Compared to tube-type products, the sturdy packaging means I can toss it in my bag without worrying about leakage.
Cons
1. Texture This product can be defined as the 'essence version of a glue stick'. Those who have tried it will immediately nod in agreement. It's fine when applying, but right after, it feels sticky like glue before it dries. So you need to make sure to absorb it well, and then it becomes somewhat okay. 2. Makeup Compatibility When I applied this essence and then just a sunscreen, the skin started to peel off like I had applied a peeling gel. I didn't dare to even try applying foundation. The makeup compatibility is terrible, so it's not suitable for going out. I only use it for night care or when I'm at home. 3. Price 50ml for 26,000 won... It's not outrageously expensive, but considering the affordable, gentle ingredient-focused basic products available these days, the price feels a bit disappointing.
Tip
You should apply this as quickly as possible to minimize the stickiness.
