ConsIt would be perfect if it were just a bit more hydrating and had longer-lasting effects.

However, this essence stands out - it's the only one that actually leaves my skin feeling moisturized. I'm still using it and definitely recommend it!
ConsThe longevity is a bit disappointing after about an hour. I strongly suggest following up with a cream to lock in the moisture!

Hyaluronic acid works well, and the Houttuynia Cordata line causes blemishes when applied. As I have combination dehydrated skin, I absolutely can't use products with high oil content. My skin is very thin and requires layering of light, refreshing products. The Atobarrier Essence is excellent to apply over toner in winter. Its runny texture absorbs extremely quickly. True to its dermatologist-recommended status, the Atobarrier product line is pricey, but I'm very satisfied with the ingredients and formulation.
ConsExpensive compared to other products. Feels rich in summer. In winter, it feels slightly dry when used alone. While it provides hydration, its lasting power is weak.
TipAdjusting the amount and combining with other skincare products is essential depending on the season!

Its standout feature is its exceptional hydration. I highly recommend it for those struggling with deep dryness or combination dehydrated skin. I found it particularly effective during the peak of summer. When my skin felt parched due to heat, I'd apply a thin layer twice right after cleansing. It excels at providing instant hydration and alleviating deep dryness. For combination dehydrated skin, it's arguably the best hydrating essence for summer use. Since it's virtually oil-free, you'll need to layer a moisturizer on top during drier seasons like winter or transitional periods. On a scale of 1 to 10, both its absorption and application score a perfect 10. As someone with super sensitive skin, I experienced no irritation whatsoever. It's an incredibly gentle product that delivers a burst of hydration! There's barely any scent, making it very agreeable. I highly recommend this to anyone dealing with deep dryness, seeking a hydrating essence with excellent absorption, or looking for a lightweight hydrating product. As someone with combination dehydrated skin prone to heat sensitivity, I've been using this consistently for nearly a year with great satisfaction.
ConsFor my heat-sensitive, combination dehydrated skin, the lasting hydration was slightly underwhelming. Due to its low oil content, I wouldn't recommend this for those with dry skin types. Other than that, I found no drawbacks!
TipRather than applying a large amount at once, it's more effective to maintain skin hydration by applying two thin layers, allowing the essence to absorb properly at each step.

No wonder it's sold at dermatology clinics!
ConsNothing particularly bad, but the moisturizing effect doesn't last quite as long as I'd like.
TipI use it as a base for my skincare routine.

I'm thrilled to say this one stands out from the rest with its intense moisturizing effect.
ConsWhile it's not sticky, the initial dewy glow on the skin's surface dries up rather quickly. I wish the hydration lasted a bit longer.

But after applying this essence, I definitely felt less dryness and it seemed to cool down my skin temperature.
ConsWhile it gives a nice hydrating feeling, I'm a bit disappointed that its lasting power isn't great. However, since it's not a heavy formula, it's good to reapply when your skin feels dry. It seems like a decent product for everyday use, but I wouldn't say it's particularly effective, so I can't give it a strong recommendation.

I typically keep my skincare routine simple - toner and emulsion in summer, and toner-essence-emulsion-(moisturizer) in fall/winter. I used this product in the essence step for about 2 weeks. (No milia, no itching, and nothing particularly disappointing.) My skin is combination with atopy, and lately I've been experiencing contact dermatitis on my cheeks and chin due to mask-wearing, leaving these areas dry, cracked, and itchy even with makeup. Texture - When I first applied it to my neck and arms, it felt incredibly smooth going on. There was a slight stickiness initially, but once fully absorbed, it felt like a layer of hydration enveloping my skin. Though it's an essence, it felt like applying a light emulsion (which I personally like). The product description of 'lipids, amino acids, and moisture instantly hydrating the skin' is spot on. The scent isn't overpowering when pumped out, and it's barely noticeable after application. For those familiar, it's milder than the Aestura 365 Cream. Hydration - To be honest, this was a bit disappointing. While it does provide instant hydration, the effect doesn't seem to last long. There was no tightness after application, but due to the changing seasons, I still felt the need for a moisturizer. However, I really liked that I could use it on my body or face without any heaviness.
ConsAs mentioned above, while I absolutely acknowledge its instant hydration, that fresh feeling doesn't last long. Some might find it odd that an essence feels like a light emulsion, but personally, I liked it.
TipOne pump is enough to cover the entire face, as shown in the photo. When my skin felt particularly dry, I could apply two layers without any discomfort. Oh, and I absolutely loved the pump packaging! It seems like it will last quite a while. Despite using it generously on dry areas after showering and before my emulsion, I was surprised to see how much product was still left. The sensation of moisture versus oil can vary from person to person. Initially, it feels like applying a soft layer of hydration, but after absorption, what remains does feel more like oil. I'd recommend trying the product in-store, letting it fully absorb, and getting a feel for it before purchasing.

It's fantastic! 1. Absorption: As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I despise sticky or pilling products. This essence absorbs completely, leaving no stickiness, which I absolutely adore. 2. It gives your skin a beautiful glow after application. It's not due to excess oil or greasiness. The essence absorbs fully, leaving your skin looking smooth and radiant. 3. The formula works well with other products without being overwhelming. It absorbs quickly, so when you layer other serums or creams on top, there's no pilling or greasy feeling. It's fantastic! 4. Highly recommended for combination dehydrated skin. My T-zone and forehead are extremely oily, so I usually avoid rich or oily products. I also hate anything sticky. However, my skin is dry underneath, so while it's oily on the surface, it's parched deep down. This product absorbs quickly without any stickiness. After application, your skin looks dewy and hydrated, not because of oil, but because it's genuinely moisturized. The lightweight formula means I can use it in the morning followed by a cream without feeling heavy, even on my oily skin.
Cons1. Perhaps due to the changing seasons, using just this essence after toner feels a bit drying. I have oily skin and rarely use cream in the morning, but when using this alone, I felt quite dry around my mouth. 2. While it feels hydrating upon application, the moisturizing effect doesn't seem to last very long.
TipI find that one pump isn't quite enough as it dries quickly, so I use two pumps, which seems perfect! When I use this essence along with another hydrating serum, my skin looks like it has that coveted 'Inner Glow' all day long. Even with my oily skin, it doesn't feel excessive.
