Pepti Cotton Ampoule Essence

Disrupts Oil-Moisture Balance

Too Watery

Oily

Not Irritating

Gentle for Pregnant Women

Smooth

Feels Comfortable

Hydrating

Refreshing

Easily Absorbed

Although it's called a cotton essence, I thought it would be a bit runny, but it's completely watery like a skin toner~
You can just think of it as a regular skin toner~
It's disappointing that the amount is too little for the price~! It's expensive~
I don't think I can bear to use it as a makeup remover

The moisture doesn't evaporate quickly and stays moisturized for a long time!
It's not irritating and has a gentle feel~^^
The fragrance-free scent seems perfect for pregnant women~!

펩티코튼 앰플에센스

The price is a bit on the higher side.
It's best to wait for sales periods to purchase it.
The opaque packaging makes it difficult to gauge how much product is left.

The essence has a lightweight, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly into the skin, even for sensitive complexions.
It's much lighter than typical ampoules or essences, so it absorbs faster.
You can just use this alone in the morning and it won't leave your skin feeling dry.
However, it may not be enough for extremely dry skin types.

The product container seems to be of poor quality, as it takes several pumps for the product to come out properly.

It's mild and high-capacity. You can use it like a toner. Haha. It's said to have anti-wrinkle and whitening functions, but the effects during the whole bottle... Hahaha.

It's best to apply the products in the order of toner-lotion-moisturizer-ampoule essence-eye cream, absorbing each one before moving on to the next. This works really well!

•The price is a bit steep, but the ingredients are so good that I think I'll repurchase it.
•The oil content is sufficient, but the moisture level feels a bit lacking, so I have to apply a moisturizing cream as well. The one I used to use was enough on its own.

•My skin is quite sensitive, but it was not irritated at all!!
•It fills in the oil content well, so it doesn't become overly shiny, but it also doesn't leave any residue on my pillow or other places!
•The ingredients are so, so good.
•The shipping seems incredibly eco-friendly, and the bottle looks very unique when you see it in person - it's not like a regular bottle, but more like a baked ceramic material?
•The product doesn't have a straw-like thing coming up from the bottom, but instead, the bottom plate pumps up, compressing the platform upwards, so I think I'll be able to use up every last bit of the ampoule without any waste.

In the evenings, I apply it a few times like a toner pack before bed, and my skin is even more hydrated the next day.

There's nothing really bad. The packaging design is nice, and the delivery packaging came in eco-friendly materials, which I liked.

The best thing is that it's so convenient. After switching to Menokin, my basic skincare routine time has been reduced by at least 5 minutes in the morning rush hour when every minute counts. Since it's a toner-essence combo, I just apply the essence and cream, put on a mask, and I'm ready to go out.
The essence is between a lotion and a regular toner - Rovectin is also fine to use in the winter, but it has a somewhat silky silicone feel, so you have to pat it in for a long time if you want to layer makeup on top, which can be a hassle in the busy morning. But the Menokin essence is lighter than Rovectin, yet seems to have better moisture and absorption. Just pat it in a few times after cleansing, and it absorbs right away so I can immediately apply the cream and go. The essence seems to help with an even, smooth application of the cream, sunscreen, and makeup.
Moisturizing the first step is what I'm most concerned about, and even a small thing like what you use right after cleansing can make a difference in whether your skin feels tight that day. But with Menokin, there was no tightness at all - it solved my dehydration issues! And with its dual functions of wrinkle care and whitening, I'm going to keep using it consistently.

 First, use the Pepticotton Essence, and then follow up with the Pepticotton Cream - your basic skincare routine is complete in just two steps!

 I didn't find any disappointing aspects, and I'm extremely satisfied with this product!

 Not only that, but dry skin types can also do a basic skincare routine with just these two products without their skin feeling dehydrated, which helps save time. So I'd highly recommend them.

It's good to apply it by squeezing it onto the hand, and I like to tilt my head slightly (around 15 degrees?) and pump the ampoule directly onto that area.

It's not a constant issue, but there are times when the ampoule drips down along the opening when dispensing it. Honestly, there aren't any significant downsides to this product.

I decided to purchase this product after seeing that it contains whitening peptide ingredients. Using this alone is equivalent to applying a toner and ampoule, which is really great. The fluid-like texture absorbs into the skin moisturizing it. The large volume allows me to apply a sufficient amount, and after using it for a few days, I can feel the skin texture becoming smoother and gradually brightening.

I also found it good for calming my skin.
When I soak a cotton pad with it and leave it on my cheeks for 1-2 minutes, it makes my skin texture look smoother. I can see why they say it covers up to the toner step.

I haven't found any downsides yet, but I'll update if I do.

It's so nice that it's brightening and yet gentle, refreshing, and moisturizing!
You can apply it generously like a toner and then move on to the cream step, which is great for someone like me who doesn't like to apply too many products.
I was worried about my dull complexion lately, but this is comfortable to use daily and good for my skin.
It's also unscented.
The packaging is pretty and they say it's made of 70% recycled materials, and the delivery comes in paper packaging, which I liked as it seems environmentally conscious.
