The fragrance is unique, reminiscent of watercolor paints freshly squeezed out of the tube. •Application: When applied thinly, it maintains adequate hydration while absorbing quickly. In the evening, you can apply a thicker layer without any stickiness, making it comfortable to sleep with. •Moisturizing power: After a 7-skin routine, a thin layer leaves the skin feeling pleasantly hydrated. During summer, using just this essence was sufficient, but from the changing seasons onwards, you'll need to follow up with a moisturizer/nourishing cream to avoid any feeling of dryness. •For combination skin with dry and sensitive cheeks outside the T-zone, I used this for about ten days without any irritation or blemishes.
ConsWhile the ingredients are gentle and the moisturizing power is decent, its slightly slippery texture made me less inclined to reach for it during the summer months.
TipIt seems best to use this product by applying a thin, even layer after thoroughly completing your toner step.

It's gentle yet moisturizing, and I'm quite satisfied. I'd definitely repurchase it.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad to mention, but I wish they'd release a larger size. While it absorbs well, it seems to run out quickly.

This product, however, absorbs quickly and feels refreshing, providing hydration without any excess oil. It's amazing how it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight at all. At first, I didn't notice much because my skin didn't feel extremely soft or moist, but I was impressed by how it kept my skin hydrated without dryness, prevented dead skin cells from forming, and maintained moisture without any tightness.
ConsWhen I first used it after applying my regular toner, it felt extremely sticky, possibly due to poor absorption. The stickiness on my hands after application was quite unpleasant. You need to be careful as it can easily become sticky if not applied correctly.
TipWhen I used it alone or after allowing other skincare products to fully absorb, it applied smoothly without stickiness and left a nice, soft finish.

Clean ingredients For skincare basics, I prioritize ingredients, and this essence doesn't contain any of the 20 concerning ingredients. So, I was satisfied with its composition. 2. Hydration As I have oily skin, I prefer light hydration, and this product, being an essence rather than a cream, definitely provides that lighter moisture. It might not be enough for those with dry skin, but for me, the hydration level felt just right. 3. Packaging I loved the rice grain-inspired design and its handy size that fits perfectly in one hand. Compared to typical tube products, the sturdy container means I can toss it in my bag without worrying about leaks.
Cons1. Texture In a nutshell, this product can be described as 'liquid glue in essence form'. Those who've tried it will immediately nod in agreement. It feels okay during application, but right after, it's sticky like wet glue. You need to really work it into the skin, and then it becomes somewhat bearable. 2. Makeup compatibility When I applied sunscreen over this essence, it pilled as if I'd used a peeling gel, causing everything to ball up and flake off. I wouldn't dare apply foundation over it. It's a total miss for makeup, so avoid using it before going out. I only use it for night care or when I'm staying at home. 3. Price 50ml for $26... While it's not outrageously expensive, it feels a bit pricey. Considering there are many affordable skincare products with clean ingredients these days, the price point left me feeling a bit disappointed.
TipTo minimize stickiness, spread it on your face as quickly as possible.

With its high hyaluronic acid content, it seems to provide quick hydration and moisture to the skin!
ConsThe scent is a bit disappointing. It has that typical hyaluronic acid 'wet plant' smell. Also, the sticky feeling during absorption is not great.
