Pros
Rather than using it alone, I found it better to mix a little with my cream or serum. Alternatively, applying it as a final step in skincare, like a moisturizing seal, seems to significantly extend the lasting hydration.
Cons
Unfortunately, I won't be repurchasing this. Personally, I felt it didn't suit my skin well. Especially when used alone, it gave me an itchy or stuffy feeling, making me reluctant to use it. The distinctive slippery texture was uncomfortable for me.
Tip
Try mixing it with other products!

Pros
My skin type is sensitive combination dehydrated. This product has: • EWG safety rating of 1 (highest safety) • Undiluted 100% core ingredients • Colorless, fragrance-free, and odorless • Non-irritating and safe to use with peace of mind
Cons
In my case, I don't feel intense hydration when using it alone. I need to apply multiple layers or combine it with other skincare products to finally feel that deep moisturizing effect. It has more of a watery toner texture than an essence, and while it glides on smoothly, there's a slight slippery feeling. Though I'd recommend it for super sensitive skin due to its gentle ingredients, it lacks the powerful hydration needed for dehydrated skin types.
Tip
Try storing it in the fridge and applying it cool for a firmer texture.

Pros
I needed an essence and this one was pretty good for everyday use. It seems suitable for all skin types - a kind of universal appeal? For reference, I have combination skin! When I apply it before bed, my makeup seems to go on better the next day. I haven't used it for long, so I'll need about a month of consistent use to really tell, but so far there have been no blemishes and I'm generally satisfied! There are no major drawbacks, so if it continues to suit my skin, I'll keep using it.
Cons
Given its texture, it might be more suitable for dry skin than oily skin. After application, there's a slightly slick feeling that lingers. It's not too bothersome, but some people might find it irritating! In terms of quantity, it seems just right for about two months of use, but considering the price, the value for money isn't great. I wouldn't want to pay full price for it. The bottle design is modern and nice, but not luxurious... It doesn't feel like something you'd give as a thoughtful gift that would be appreciated. I'll probably stock up during sales.
Tip
I think it would be really nice to apply it chilled when the weather gets warmer.

Pros
As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I used to always apply a moisturizer right after cleansing to prevent my face from feeling tight. But when I replaced that moisturizer with this product, my skin still felt comfortable even 2 hours later! That was amazing! While my oily skin still produces some excess sebum, it seems like the deep hydration has actually reduced the oiliness overall, which is fantastic! The water-like texture absorbs quickly, making application super simple. Even my mom, who has dry skin, tried it and was impressed - and that's saying something! (No exaggeration)
Cons
The quantity is a bit on the small side considering the price... haha. I was lucky enough to win this in an event, but still... If you apply too much, it can feel slippery like oil. I'd recommend using just the right amount to avoid that greasy feeling!
Tip
If you cleanse, apply this product, and then do your makeup, your skin will look like porcelain that day. Just make sure you let it absorb well! If you get greedy and apply too much without letting it absorb properly, you'll witness the miracle of your makeup sliding right off.

Pros
Summary: A lightweight (especially for summer!) yet effective water-based essence that provides hydration. Leaves a dewy glow after absorption. Effective for deep dryness. Price is a bit disappointing. Caution for blemishes in oily areas. As someone with dry and combination skin, my biggest concerns were dead skin cells and deep dryness. I was looking for a moisturizing product that wouldn't leave my skin greasy, and I got to try this as part of The Hwahae Testers. The attached hand photos show the application process: immediately after application -> after absorption. Can you see the glow (not an oily sheen, but a subtle inner glow) that appears as the water-like formula absorbs? 1. Texture It has a fluid, water-like consistency. Think of the fluidity of typical skin toners. It doesn't have the viscosity of snail mucin products. When rubbed between hands, it feels slippery - somewhere between water and oil. It feels as light as a toner on contact, but unlike toners that evaporate and leave skin dry, this leaves a moisturized feeling. 2. Hydration Despite its watery appearance, I was surprised by how moisturizing it is! It challenged my assumption that moisturizing always means sticky and oily. I used it after toner and before emulsion, and found that even with just this, my skin wasn't very dry. Now I only need to apply emulsion and moisturizer very lightly. It's effective for deep dryness. 3. Absorption Although it starts out watery, it absorbs well with gentle patting. I tried using it as a skin pack once, but that used too much product and hand patting was much better for absorption.
Cons
1. Texture While I personally didn't find it too inconvenient, the fluid texture and bottle design can make it difficult to control the amount dispensed. If you're not careful, you might end up with precious essence running down your arm to your elbow (remember, it's 320 won per ml...). 2. Absorption While it absorbs well into the face, it leaves a slippery feeling on the hands after application. 3. Price As I've been using it, I've found that it's not as wasteful as I thought, but I still wouldn't dare use it for a skin pack. I've used about 1/4 of the bottle in two weeks. 4. Blemishes Despite having sensitive skin, I didn't have any issues due to the gentle ingredients. However, I did notice some pimples appearing in areas with more oil production like the T-zone and chin. I'll update the review after adjusting the amount I use in these areas.
Tip
After this absorbs, it leaves a subtle glow. If you apply the rest of your skincare lightly and then do your makeup, it creates a beautiful skin finish! It paired better with matte/semi-matte foundations rather than dewy ones. Rather than applying a large amount at once, it works better to apply thin layers gradually. I use four drops at a time, spreading it with both hands before letting it absorb.

Pros
When applied, it leaves a slippery feeling on the face, but as someone with dry skin, I found it great that my skin didn't feel parched even with just the essence! Moreover, I used it while having blemishes, and there was no stinging or irritation at all, which made me feel it's a gentle product!
Cons
Because it leaves a slippery feeling on the face, I wouldn't recommend it for those with oily skin types. Also, the texture is quite heavy, so while it's fine to use with a cotton pad to wipe the face, it was uncomfortable to leave on like a mask.
Tip
It worked well to wipe the face with a cotton pad soaked with an appropriate amount before skincare!

Pros
Skin type: Combination, sensitive, with extremely dry areas Clean and attractive design Texture: Watery, absorbs quickly with a slight slip No noticeable irritation, skin feels softer No cooling sensation Recommended for dry and combination skin types Adequate amount Fragrance-free Colorless Personally, I like how it calms redness caused by dryness
Cons
After it dries, there's a slippery feeling as if something's left on the skin Feels a bit uncomfortable when applied to fingers. When dry, rubbing two fingers together gives a squeaky clean feeling - you know what I mean?
Tip
It might feel nice and cool if you keep it in the fridge. It's a gentle product. Works well after cleansing. Mixes well with other products, like mists.
