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 felt incredibly hydrating and was perfect for a light application.
ConsWhile there aren't many drawbacks, if I had to point out one, it would be the scent. It has a slightly artificial fragrance that I found a bit disappointing.

That's about the only positive thing I can say.
ConsFor my oily skin, it went beyond moisturizing to feeling slippery. The fragrance was also too strong, if I may say so. I had high expectations since it's a popular product, but it's something I'll never reach for again.
TipIf you have oily skin, make sure to test it out before purchasing.

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 usually don't prefer high-moisture essences as they don't suit me well, so I was worried this product might not work for me despite its popularity. However, after using it, I found it wasn't as heavy as I expected and it gave me a feeling of pure hydration. There's a slight richness after application, but it doesn't make my skin greasy. Instead, it feels like it forms a moisture barrier. I can definitely see why it's expensive. As someone with oily, acne-prone skin, I find it a bit much for daily use. But it's great for preventing deep dryness after using a clay mask or on days when my skin feels irritated.
ConsThe 70ml size can be a bit pricey, which is why I was drawn to it when the 30ml version was released. Also, the scent... it's like a car air freshener? It's one of the fragrances I dislike the most, so that was disappointing. It's the kind of smell that could make me feel nauseous.
TipIf you find the richness after absorption a bit much and hesitate to continue with your skincare routine, try blotting some of the excess oil with blotting paper or tissue before finishing with your usual moisturizer. This should help!

I like that it absorbs well without causing any major blemishes.
ConsThe scent... oh, the scent... What is this? The fragrance is really not my style, so I'll have to think twice about repurchasing.

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 really appreciated that this essence wasn't sticky, unlike many other products that claim to provide hydration but end up feeling tacky. As a result, it didn't leave my skin feeling suffocated at all after application. What's more, I'm thrilled that it didn't cause any blemishes. I was in a phase where my skin was super sensitive, so I fully expected some irritation when I applied it. To my surprise, my skin stayed clear throughout. No pimples popped up, and my skin didn't become rough at all - it was fantastic! Throughout my use of this essence, my skin remained hydrated and smooth.
ConsThe artificial fragrance is overwhelmingly strong. While applying, I felt like I was holding my nose right up to a bottle of fabric softener. Thankfully, the scent faded after application. To be honest, fragrance isn't a major issue for me if the product works well. My biggest disappointment with this essence is that I still felt dry even after using it. For my skin, it wasn't hydrating enough during the changing seasons (and probably won't be in winter either). Specifically, when I used a toner, this essence, and a light moisturizer with just hydration, my skin felt dry. Given the 'Water Bank' name, I expected it to be bursting with hydration, but it fell short for my skin. I plan to use it in summer - I think it'll be perfect then with just toner and this essence.
TipDuring the changing seasons, it worked well when I used a toner, this essence, and either a rich moisturizer with some oil content or when I added facial oil after the essence.

The way it absorbs into the skin is fantastic too!
ConsMaybe it's because I have dry skin, but it felt less hydrating than I expected. While the case is beautiful, it seems to be made of glass, making it quite heavy. I'm also quite sensitive to fragrances, which makes it hard for me to use most cosmetics. Unfortunately, this one had a rather strong scent, which made testing it quite challenging. I'm truly grateful for winning this in the event, but I think I'll have to pass it on to a friend.

While this line is aimed at combination skin, I found it great to add to my existing skincare routine for dry skin! I used it twice daily for a week, pumping 3 times each use. The most satisfying aspect was the improvement in skin texture. My skin felt amazing when washing in the morning and applying makeup. It's the first time my skin hasn't felt dry even with foundation on! I often experienced facial heat, but the cool sensation of this product helped reduce it. I always worried about blemishes appearing due to the heat, but this really helped with that concern. The texture is like a thin emulsion, which I found to be a suitable consistency for use as an essence.
ConsThe fragrance was too strong. It has that distinctive Waterbank line scent. I thought it was overpowering when I used the skin emulsion from the same line before, and it's still quite strong this time. Although I got used to it gradually, I wish they would release a version with a milder scent or even fragrance-free.
TipI found that pumping once on the forehead and each cheek provides enough product to cover down to the neck. So I made sure to apply it all the way down there!

Even though I have dry skin, I chose the Hydro instead of the Moisturizer because I thought the fresh texture would be better for applying makeup. While that aspect is nice, after using it, I found it to be more hydrating than expected, and the moisturizing effect lasts longer. I now include it in my night routine as well. It really seems quite good.
ConsThe fragrance is too strong... It has a clean feel, but the scent is overly artificial.
TipAfter essence, I immediately follow up with the Hydro cream for an extra boost of hydration. Once it's fully absorbed, my skin feels plump and dewy, almost like after a sauna session.
