Pros
I've been using it since its launch. I'm using the sample that came with the full-size product since I've used up the original, so the photo is just of the sample. I really hate anything sticky, but this has a watery, thin formula that absorbs quickly and feels great to use. I don't like applying a lot of different products, so I've been using this as a substitute for toner. It's not like I'm just slapping it on and that's it - I do apply it a couple of times since I have dry skin, but it keeps my skin hydrated. The ginseng scent is also faint and not at all bothersome. I didn't even realize I liked the ginseng scent until now. The person I gifted it to also really liked it.
Cons
The price is a bit high. Considering the ginseng ingredient, it's not outrageously expensive, but coming from someone who usually just uses drugstore products, it feels a bit pricey. The thin formula means it disappears quickly, which is a bit of a downside.
Tip
The official retailer sometimes has sales on the full-size product and free sample shipping promotions, so if you're curious, you can try the sample before buying the full size.

Pros
It has great absorbency. I've been using it by layering it in multiple layers!
Cons
The formula is not as thick as I expected, it's more like a light cleansing balm. Compared to the price, it doesn't feel like it provides strong moisturizing.

Pros
My skin feels so smooth! It doesn't feel sticky at all and gets absorbed quickly! Even when my skin is sensitive and anything I apply stings, this doesn't cause any irritation!
Cons
As expected, the price is... haha. I'm currently using a test product, but when I looked at the price to buy a full-size, haha♡

Pros
The formula is so lightweight that a small amount spreads very well. There's no stickiness, and the absorption is excellent, so it seems like a perfect fit for oily skin types. The gentle feel and great absorption seem to be the highlights of this product.
Cons
I'm not sure what effects it has. It's not even that moisturizing... And the price is on the higher side compared to that.

Pros
The fragrance is subtle and it absorbs quickly. Just applying this alone gives a moisturized feeling, which I really like.
Cons
I haven't found any disappointing aspects yet! I'm completely satisfied with the First Essence.

Pros
I believe this is an essential item to fully experience the effects of ampoules and the like. After applying the single essence, I feel that absorption is much more effective and thorough.
Cons
Personally, I liked it, but a friend commented that the scent was reminiscent of cigarette ash. The fragrance seems to be divisive.
Tip
After cleansing, immediately soak a cotton pad and use it generously.

Pros
I received and tried the sample. I used it in the spring when my skin was in good condition. This was my first time using a Donginbi product, and I noticed a strong ginseng scent. I was able to use it without any aversion. It has a sticky, runny texture. It can be used as a toner substitute or in place of an ampoule. While it has a sticky texture, as long as you control the amount, it absorbs well. So I felt like it replenished my skin's moisture. For those with dehydrated oily skin, I think using this product alone and finishing with a moisturizer would help balance the skin's moisture. I plan to purchase the full-size product.
Cons
Those sensitive to scents may find the strong ginseng aroma unpleasant, so it's best to test the fragrance first. Those who dislike sticky textures may also find this product disappointing. Proper application is important, as the texture requires careful control. Since I used a sample, the packaging made it a bit difficult to control the amount, but I hope the full-size product has more user-friendly packaging.
Tip
I received the sample through a promotion on the Donginbi official website. Since they ship the samples directly, I recommend trying it out before visiting the store.

Pros
I have very dry and sensitive skin. I've never tried Donginnee before because it seemed like a brand for older people, but I got a sample and tried it out. I'm really satisfied with the product - it's much better than I expected! It's a water-type essence, so it's lightweight and refreshing. I pumped some into my palm, patted it in, and it absorbed quickly without any residue. It really feels like it's deeply hydrating my skin. I think this would be a great product to use in the spring and summer, especially for those with dry or oily skin. In the summer, it seems to help calm and smooth the skin. And in the winter, you could use it with a richer cream to keep your skin balanced and moisturized. Plus, the ingredients seem really great - it's not irritating at all, it's very gentle on my sensitive skin.
Cons
The only downside is that it's a bit pricey.

Pros
Texture - Slippery, transparent liquid Ingredients - Single-ingredient formula, so the ingredients are quite good Fragrance - Can be divisive due to the ginseng scent. For reference, I'm a big fan of ginseng (I like it a lot). The scent is not too strong, you'll notice it when first applying but it fades away. Absorption and Moisturizing - Since I have dry skin, it seems to absorb quickly. The moisturizing effect doesn't last long with one application, so I have to apply it multiple times to really feel my skin becoming supple.
Cons
Expensive price range compared to the product volume Divisive ginseng scent
Tip
Applying it with my hands several times works better than using a cotton pad
