I've used this for the longest time. It absorbs well and smells amazing. It's such a shame it's been discontinued. It's fine in summer, but in winter, this alone isn't enough for hydration. Even after applying, my skin feels tight quickly. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMar 28, 2023
It's moisturizing with a good balance of hydration and oils, making it quite effective for keeping skin hydrated. The Water Bank line has its signature cool, refreshing scent. I like that it applies more lightly and thinly compared to a cream. It feels a bit like it's sitting on top of the skin, probably due to its rich texture. When applied to bare skin, it doesn't seem to absorb well at all. It's disappointing that it contains phenoxyethanol and sulfates. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinNov 25, 2022
Out of all cosmetics, I think Huxley and Water Bank have the best scents. They're so hydrating, and just applying them puts me in a good mood. There's nothing particularly bad to mention. The packaging gets prettier by the day, so it's all good! - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinNov 6, 2022
It absorbs well and isn't too light, which helps with hydration. The volume is quite generous for an essence. The scent is pleasantly mainstream. Given that it's not cheap, I wonder if they could switch to plastic instead of glass packaging. The hydration isn't exceptionally outstanding, so I probably won't repurchase. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 9, 2022
1. The fragrance is delightful. 2. The water-based formula absorbs well into the skin. 3. The packaging is recyclable. 4. After use, my skin feels plumped up (hydration boost?). 1. It leaves a sticky residue on my fingers after application. 2. However, it still feels dry on the skin. 3. The need for frequent reapplication is a bit bothersome. 4. In summer, only the oily part remains, leading to blemishes. 1. Applying this before hand cream keeps your hands moisturized too. 2. When feeling lazy, apply a thick layer on your face and follow with a sheet mask for intense hydration (monitor your skin's reaction, as overdoing it can be counterproductive). - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinAug 30, 2022
I loved how lightweight it was to apply. While many comments mention an artificial scent, I personally found the cool fragrance quite pleasant. There's not really anything disappointing about it. If I had to nitpick, I'd say that due to its light texture, you might need to use another essence in winter... - Hwahae UserCombination SkinJul 23, 2022
It's a super lightweight hydrating essence, almost like a toner! The generous size makes it perfect for liberally applying to both face and neck. I love that it doesn't pill when combined with any cream. I used it refreshingly well during summer, and the scent is delightfully invigorating. The only downside might be the lack of functional effects like whitening or wrinkle improvement... - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinFeb 8, 2022
I happened to receive a sample and tried it out. It didn't cause any blemishes, absorbed lightly into my skin, and had a pleasant scent, so I decided to purchase the full-size product! With the winter season, my skin is experiencing deep dryness, and this product doesn't seem to completely address that issue. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinNov 30, 2021
I definitely felt more hydration compared to the Hydro Essence! It had a really watery emulsion-like feel. I used it together with the cream from the same line, and it helped combat my deep dryness! And even though I'm not usually a fan of scented products, the fragrance of this one is totally my style... The hydration doesn't last very long, so layering it might work better - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinMar 9, 2021
I love this essence because it doesn't feel sticky and creates a nice protective layer on the skin. The hydration is great too. I also really enjoyed Laneige's signature fresh scent - it's such a mood-lifter when applying! The hydration isn't as intense as I expected. If you were hoping for top-tier moisture, I'd say it's more of a mid-to-high range product.
