It leaves a finish that's hydrating without making the T-zone greasy. It absorbs well and provides above-average hydration. As a basic skincare staple, the quality is impressive.
ConsThe price is on the higher side. The quality isn't comparable to that of an ampoule or serum. It doesn't give the feeling of adding rich, nourishing ingredients to the skin. I use it in place of an emulsion, which might be why it feels more expensive to me. The fragrance smells artificial.

It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry at all. The way it absorbs is wonderfully smooth.
ConsThere's nothing I'm particularly disappointed with; I'm satisfied overall. My only personal wish is that it could be a bit more affordable.

Absorbs well: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling moisturized even after absorption. Hydration: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The oil and moisture balance is excellent. It feels more hydrating than rich, providing great moisture with just the right amount of richness.
ConsWhile it has a pleasant scent, I'd prefer if it didn't contain fragrance at all.

It applies lightly, absorbs quickly, and has a satisfyingly bouncy texture that effectively combats deep dryness. I'm very pleased with both its absorption and moisturizing properties. User experience: I opened this in January or February when it was still winter-cold. After cleansing, I'd apply two pumps, and it would absorb instantly, leaving my skin feeling naturally moisturized from within (not that artificial moisturized feeling you sometimes get). I'd follow up with a moisturizer, adding an extra thin layer on drier areas. Even after applying sunscreen and finishing with powder foundation, there was no dryness or flakiness at all! Now that the weather has warmed up, I still use two pumps after washing my face, followed by just one application of moisturizer. My skin feels natural and comfortable, with no greasiness or dead skin cells showing. It really seems to balance the oil and moisture well. Since COVID, I haven't been using foundation, so I can't speak to how it works with that. But since it's great for deep hydration, I think it would work well if you adjust the amount to your skin's needs. Despite having somewhat sensitive skin, I've never experienced any blemishes or irritation from this product. Scent: It has a cool, slightly sweet, and subtle fragrance that doesn't linger long. I actually quite like it. Packaging: The pump dispenser is convenient to use. I find two pumps perfect for initial application, and one pump is just right when I want to add a bit more. (It's always a bit tricky to do half-pumps.) Also, I really appreciate the tinted but transparent bottle - well done!
ConsThe price point is quite high. Even though I'd like to use it again, the cost is prohibitive, which unfortunately means I won't be repurchasing.

Even with just this product, my skin doesn't feel dry at all.
ConsI have sensitive skin, and when my skin condition isn't great, I occasionally get blemishes. When I apply this product, it seems to make them a bit worse... When my skin feels super sensitive, I avoid using it.

As someone with extremely dry skin, I'm usually hard to please when it comes to hydration, but this seems to be pretty good. I've been using it consistently along with the moisturizer from the same line, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my skin texture. It's become incredibly soft, and my makeup applies so much better now.
ConsThe only downside is that it doesn't provide as much hydration as I had hoped. Still, I'd say it performs above average.
TipTo combat deep dryness, it's helpful to take your time and allow the product to absorb thoroughly, even if it takes a while.

This makes it easy to apply and more hydrating than regular essences. Moisturizing power: For an essence, it has a nice consistency that provides both adequate hydration and richness, making it great for dry skin. Lasting power: The combination of hydration and oil creates a protective layer, helping the skin feel moisturized for longer.
ConsIngredients: The formula isn't as gentle as I expected. Richness: While it works well for my dry skin, those with combination to oily skin might find it a bit too rich.

It's like a lighter version of the sleeping mask. First off, the scent is lovely, which made the skincare routine enjoyable. The hydration is quite satisfactory as well. It absorbs well with a smooth application, and the absorption rate is decent. I'm pleased that it also helps to some extent with deep dryness.
ConsIf I had to choose between the sleeping mask and this essence, I'd go for the mask. While the essence has the advantage of being lightweight, for someone like me with severely dry, oily, and acne-prone skin, a more water-like formula that can really boost hydration would be better suited.

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.
