I personally use it as a toner replacement after cleansing, as it strengthens the skin barrier and works well with makeup, so I apply it both morning and evening. The generous volume also makes it a great value purchase.
ConsDuring the winter or for dry skin, using just this one moisturizing essence may result in slightly insufficient hydration. This is a lightweight, water-based essence that works well for layering with other essences.
TipThere are plenty of them, and they feel lightweight, so you can use them instead of toner. It's like a cream toner!

ConsThere wasn't really anything, but if I had to pick, it seems a bit too layered, so when I apply it, it feels greasy.

It's great to use only a small amount as a barrier care product. I'm using it before the ampoule step to prevent inner dryness.
ConsI felt that using it too much would actually cause trouble. It's not an inflammatory, hard condition, but if I use it a lot, little sebum-related blemishes will appear!!
TipUse Hwahae only in small amounts! I found that using about 4 drops each time worked well for me. ㅎㅎ

It's not too heavy, but it completely takes care of the dryness, so I'm very satisfied 🤍 There's no sticky feeling at all, so I highly recommend it!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
ConsThere were no particular regrets haha For summer use, it may be a bit heavy for those with oily or combination skin types..?

Even after applying a lot, my skin felt comfortable when I put on makeup, unlike the usual dryness I experience.
ConsThere were no particular disappointments, but it's a good product by my standards.

I wish everyone would try it... haha On days when your skin is a little drier or has more oil, you can adjust the number of layers you apply. I have dry skin, and in the winter I usually apply it 2-3 times! It's really one of my holy grail products, I've used up several bottles and given it as gifts to people around me👍 I really hope those with dry skin will try it! The product is very gentle, so no matter how many layers you apply, there's nothing that builds up on your face.
ConsReally, really, there is nothing, but... the fact that I wrote too much and wrote too quickly? If it weren't for that, there would be no regrets at all.
TipFor those with slightly drier skin, I recommend applying a few extra layers. After cleansing, I apply the Celllab essence, then layer on 1-2 coats of the Tony Moly Mochi Toner, followed by the Esthe Essence. Finally, I use either the Illiyoon Lotion or Bioderma Cream, and my skin feels strengthened and the skin barrier improved. The Esthe Essence is truly wonderful.

Just adding the essence made me feel like the inner dryness was really brought under control. I think it will be great for replenishing moisture and cooling down in the summer without any stickiness.
ConsFor Hwahae, there is really nothing regrettable! It may also be less suitable for Jiseong.
TipIn the morning, the first step is essence 1 application. In the evening, the first step is essence 2 application.

Even though I use various products, I always end up repurchasing this one. It's essentially a pure moisture essence. It's a fragrance-free, lightweight serum-type product with a slightly runny texture. I sought it out because the small pump-type packaging makes it convenient to use. It absorbs lightly and moisturizes well, without much stickiness. Rather than expecting any special effects, I feel this is a reliable, unassuming product that I can always use with confidence.
ConsThis product alone is not enough to complete the basic skincare routine, so I always finish with a cream. Other than that, there are no other shortcomings.

As a watery essence toner, it provides moisture from the first step, and the skin remains moisturized even after completing the skincare routine and applying makeup. ✔️Until I find an even better product, I will continue using the Esthe La toner. ✔️Previously, the bottle was quite rigid, so I had to tap it on my palm to use the toner, but this new version has a softer bottle. It seems more convenient to use the toner now, and it's much better.ㅎ ✔️I strongly recommend this to those with dry and sensitive skin.^^
ConsThere are no shortcomings yet. I hope the price becomes a bit more affordable. It would be great if the capacity increases. ㅎㅎㅎ
