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 UserDry SkinMar 10, 2023
It absorbs well with a moisturizing feel, though it's not quite as hydrating as a cream. Those with extremely dry skin might find the hydration level insufficient. The container is quite heavy for the amount of product, and the volume is a bit disappointing. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinDec 24, 2022
Here's an honest review from a woman in her late 20s: 1. Excellent absorption and application As someone with combination skin (which changes with the seasons), I often struggle with heavy formulas. However, this product has a lightweight texture that applies smoothly, which I love. Surprisingly, it absorbs well too - it sinks into the skin without much effort. This makes it perfect for busy mornings, and I personally think it's a great lightweight essence to use before makeup in the morning rather than in the evening. 2. Gentle formula What I appreciate most is how gentle the product is. No matter your skin condition, you can see results... The formula seems to prioritize hydration over oil, giving the feeling of directly infusing moisture into the skin. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I often experience deep dryness in winter, but this product leaves my skin feeling moisturized and significantly improves that tightness. Some hydrating essences on the market have more oil than water, leaving a greasy feeling, but not this one. It stays true to its purpose, which is why I keep repurchasing it. 4. Pleasant scent The fragrance is lovely. It's not exactly a natural scent, more of an artificial cosmetic scent, but it's still pleasant. The scent itself isn't overpowering, more of a subtle soapy fragrance? Even though I'm not usually a fan of typical cosmetic scents, I find this one quite agreeable. 5. Beautiful and user-friendly packaging While I prioritize the contents over packaging, I must admit the attractive case does make using the product more enjoyable. It looks neat on my vanity too. The pump dispenser is hygienic and very convenient to use, which I really appreciate. 1. Expensive for the quantity I can't help but feel it's a bit pricey. Objectively, 70ml for $40 isn't excessive, but the formula is quite thin so you end up using more per application. Plus, apart from hydration, it doesn't offer many other benefits, which makes the price feel a bit steep... It might be best to stock up during sales. 2. Can feel dry Because it's so focused on hydration, it felt a bit light for me. It's fine in spring and summer, but in winter, my skin starts feeling dry after a while. However, this isn't a major drawback as I don't use it alone - it works well when layered with creams or oils. Using this as a first essence yields great results and maintains hydration for longer. I personally recommend using it after toner. In winter, try mixing it with jojoba oil for even better results. - 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 SkinAtopy SkinSensitive SkinMar 28, 2022
It absorbs smoothly and sinks in quickly. However, it may not be suitable for those with dry skin types. The fragrance is quite strong. Those who are sensitive to scents might find it unpleasant. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 2, 2021
• Texture: It has a slightly runny consistency, similar to a cream skin toner. • Application: It absorbs lightly and, most importantly, isn't sticky at all. • Absorption: Due to its lightweight feel, it absorbs well! The finish feels moisturizing, as if there's a slight richness to it. (*Compared to the Hydro Essence - The finish felt very fresh and completely absorbed) • Hydration: While it's hard to expect perfect hydration from an essence alone, I think it provides adequate moisture! (*Compared to the Hydro Essence - It had more of a watery feel, so it was difficult to expect intense hydration) - It seems like it would be good for everyday use, and especially nice for summer when you want something lightweight. - While the scent is pleasant, it's a bit strong, which is disappointing. - Honestly, when comparing it to the Hydro Essence, I didn't notice a huge difference with the Moisture version. However, if you have dry skin and are looking for more hydration, I'd recommend the Moisture Essence. If you prefer something very light and super fresh, go for the Hydro version! - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJul 4, 2021
I've been using this for years now. It absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling moisturized. I really like it! For extremely dry skin, it might not provide quite enough hydration. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinJun 15, 2021
I always use this because it absorbs so well! The hydration effect is pretty decent too. I'm not sure about blemishes, but I'm using it without any issues. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinJan 21, 2021
The application feels incredibly fresh and light. If it suits your skin, it might be perfect for summer use. I bought this product intending to use it in summer, but choosing this for my dry skin was a mistake. Even though it's summer, it was too much for my skin and caused blemishes every time I used it. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinNov 17, 2020
The fluid texture makes it easy to apply. When applied, my skin felt comfortable without any greasiness or dryness, and I didn't experience any blemishes. While it's not a heavy formula, the hydration lasts surprisingly long. I made it through summer using this product along with a water-like essence. The scent is feminine and pleasantly neutral. 1. It feels a bit slippery and takes time to absorb. However, it disappears quickly if you pat and gently massage it in. 2. The price isn't particularly cheap. 3. The pump bottle is inconvenient, and it's difficult to get the last bit out when you want to use it all up. Due to its fluid texture, it feels refreshing when you massage it into your face while applying.
