It's not too heavy, even for use in the height of summer. The cool blue packaging is also quite appealing.
ConsI used to love using this along with the matching moisturizer from the same line, but sadly it's been discontinued.
TipIt's unfortunate when favorite products are discontinued. However, you might find similar products that offer the same refreshing, non-sticky hydration you enjoyed. Consider exploring other options in the Hwahae app for a suitable replacement that works well for your skin type and preferences.

It provides a nice moisture boost, making it perfect for combination dehydrated skin. After application, it leaves the skin comfortably hydrated with a fresh finish, ideal for use from spring to fall. - No irritation As someone with super sensitive skin who can only use gentle products, I experienced no irritation or blemishes while using this.
Cons- Not recommended for those with dry skin or looking for a rich essence. - Discontinued

I've been using this exclusively since before it was reformulated.
ConsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin, I think this would be great for those with dry skin types.

It might have been rebranded as a moisturizer or renamed, but since I have the hydro version, I'm leaving my review here. This product sits somewhere between an emulsion and an ampoule. Its standout features are its light texture and fresh feel when applied. Since it's water-based rather than oil-based, I think it could be great for summer and oily skin types.
ConsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin, this product does make my skin feel hydrated, but it doesn't seem to address deep dryness very well. There's this subtle, almost imperceptible feeling of dryness underneath. After reading other reviews, I wonder if it's a matter of quantity. I'll try using more and update my review if I see any improvements.

It doesn't pill when applying makeup, and the ingredients are decent too.
ConsThe strong fragrance is disappointing. Apart from that, there's nothing to complain about. However, after the product was renewed, the scent became even less appealing. Of course, fragrance preference is ultimately a personal matter.

My skin is extremely dry, prone to redness even after brief winter outings, and tends to overheat in summer. I've been struggling with severe dehydration. This product is packed with hydration. When I apply it during my skincare routine, I can feel the moisture surge into my skin. It absorbs well and isn't sticky at all. It leaves a fresh finish and helps calm the heat in my skin. The texture is so smooth, making it a joy to use.
ConsThe downside is its high price point. I'll probably need to use coupons on the Amore Pacific website to make it more affordable. Also, those with oily skin might find it a bit heavy due to its rich texture and may need to use only a small amount to avoid excess oiliness.

It felt like it was addressing my deep dryness, and the texture feels fresh without being sticky at all. I've been using this product exclusively for a year now, and I've lost count of how many bottles I've gone through!
ConsAs the dry season approached, I found that using this alone wasn't quite enough. So I bought the Water Bank Cream to use with it, and that combination works perfectly! I don't consider it a major drawback, but if you have extremely dry skin, you might not be 100% satisfied with this product on its own.

I sometimes mix it with foundation when applying makeup, and in summer, I find that just applying this essence after cleansing is sufficient for my skin.
ConsIf I had to find a downside, it would be the high original price point. However, it's a great buy during sale periods.

The finish is refreshing. As I've gotten older, my combination dehydrated skin has become extremely dry, but this product doesn't seem to suit me.
ConsI thought it would be fine, but it caused red, itchy blemishes. I had to stop using it after just three days. While it feels moisturizing right after application, it becomes increasingly drying over time. Those with super sensitive skin like mine should be cautious. The hydration seems to evaporate quickly, leaving the skin feeling less than moisturized.

It's so fresh and pleasant that I can't imagine anyone disliking it.
ConsIf there's one downside... it's that the price is a bit wicked.
TipI always use this as the final step in my skincare routine. When my skin needs extra hydration or soothing, I apply it right after a toner mask. The next day, my skin feels amazing.
