It has a fresh, slightly tacky finish that's perfect for summer use.
Cons- I wasn't aware of the ingredients, but it contains alcohol. Perhaps that's why, despite its fresh and slightly sticky feel after absorption, it doesn't leave an intensely hydrated sensation.

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.
