Once absorbed, it creates a thick moisture layer on the skin! ♥ It gives a natural glow! This is what I'm most satisfied with. By just adding this product to my skincare routine, I can achieve a dewy complexion with only concealer or cushion for light coverage. Even when I go for a matte makeup look and use a firmer base to tone down the glow, my makeup doesn't look cakey, which is great. ♥ The packaging is hygienic and convenient. The pump dispenser makes it easy to use without mess.
Cons♥ The price... Not only is it expensive, but the gel essence also comes in a small quantity, so it's not very cost-effective. I'm deducting one star because of this. ♥ It can be uncomfortable to use on its own. After reading reviews suggesting it's good as a first serum, I tried applying it right after cleansing, but for some reason, my skin felt irritated for a few days. When I changed the order of application, it was fine, so now I use it in the middle of my routine.
Tip♥ My routine: Toner - Hydrating Serum - *Aqua Collagen Peptide Gel Essence* - Eye Cream - Moisturizer I apply this product right in the middle! After layering toner multiple times and applying a light serum, I coat my skin with this gel essence. This is when my skin feels most comfortable and my deep dryness is well-managed. There were no issues with absorption. Make sure to focus on moisturizing afterwards too! The hydration evaporates quickly when used alone, so I always follow up with eye cream and moisturizer. I'm very satisfied with this soft and hydrating gel essence.

The scent isn't irritating either.
ConsIt was quite irritating for me. After use, my skin turns red and flares up. It also causes itching around my chin area. I didn't notice any visible skin improvements. I used it for a week but have now stopped.

It's packed with skin-loving ingredients like collagen and peptides.
ConsI have super sensitive skin, and unfortunately, this product caused blemishes. I had high hopes, but it didn't work out for me.

ConsThere's a noticeable dryness. Not sure if it's related, but I noticed some small bumps appearing on my skin.

It would probably be better suited for winter use rather than summer.
ConsThe downside is that it feels like it clogs the pores. I'm not entirely sure if it's because of this product, but I developed some blemishes.

The packaging design is ingenious and allows you to use every last drop of the product. The absorption was also excellent.
ConsAt first, it seemed fine, but it didn't agree with my skin and I started getting some blemishes. Also, it was quite drying for me when used alone!

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.ProsI was curious about this highly popular essence, so I decided to give it a try. However, it seems it doesn't quite suit my skin. My skin type is sensitive to ingredients like PEG and mineral oil, which can cause breakouts. I also tend to avoid soothing gel formulas (e.g., Illiyoon Soothing Gel) as they often make my face feel hot and tingly. I have atopic dermatitis and am prone to allergies. That being said, this product does seem to provide excellent hydration. After application, my face had a constant glow. I also appreciated the fragrance-free formula, which didn't cause any aversion. However, it felt like it wasn't absorbing well into my skin. My face kept feeling greasy and the product seemed to sit on the surface. This might vary from person to person, of course. My skin felt so uncomfortable that I had to cleanse it off, which resulted in a tingling sensation. Needless to say, it quickly became a neglected item in my skincare routine.
ConsAfter using this product, my face felt hot and blemishes started to appear. I don't think it was due to excess oil, but rather some ingredients that didn't agree with my skin. Those with super sensitive skin should be cautious!

ConsI have combination dehydrated sensitive skin. While the texture feels nice, I keep getting the feeling that it's causing blemishes to appear.
