Pros
# Sensitive Skin for Dry Skin - Texture: I was a bit surprised that the texture was different from what I had expected. While I may have some bias, since it's called a 'First Essence', I thought it would have a toner-like watery texture, but it's actually closer to a thin essence texture, not a water-like one. - Moisture: Compared to a watery texture, it doesn't have as much moisture. It absorbs quickly, which is why it may feel that way. - Breakouts: I've used it for about 2 weeks and haven't experienced any breakouts. - Packaging: The packaging is a bit heavy. It's a pump bottle, so it's more convenient to use than a dropper bottle.
Cons
- Fragrance: The fragrance is very strong. It has a floral scent, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. The strong fragrance may be irritating. However, I didn't actually experience any troubles. This is an aspect where people may have different preferences. - Light texture with quick absorption means it doesn't provide enough moisture. Even after layering it several times, I still feel a lack of moisture.
Tip
It seems you'll need to layer the toner several times to provide enough moisture, and then apply the essence step. If you use the gel directly without the toner, even after applying it multiple times, you may still feel a lack of moisture.

Pros
The packaging is thoughtfully done, and the package is so pretty. The ingredients are also decent, except for the fragrance. And it's a lightweight water-based formula, so it glides on smoothly. There's also a slight cooling sensation when applied.
Cons
However, the scent is too strong, and it makes me feel nauseous on days when I'm tired... It smells like a room freshener. I used it for about 2 weeks, and I started getting small pimples on my forehead...
Tip
I have an oily T-zone and a normal cheek area. It's fine right after application, but about 30 minutes later, my cheeks start feeling warm. (I tend to get flushed easily when my skin is dry.) So I applied a separate cream just to my cheeks.

Pros
👍Review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer👍 Pros! It's a light essence type, so absorption is quick. I've purchased similar-feeling essences (something like Avene...) before, but they were thicker in texture, so absorption was slower and a film would form on the surface after application, making it difficult to layer additional skincare products. But this one has a fluid formula, so it absorbs quickly and leaves a smooth finish that makes the next steps in my routine easy.
Cons
I felt the fragrance was a bit artificial! It has a musky? powdery scent.

Those with extremely high absorbency and in need of heavy moisturization, like dry skin types, may find this a bit lacking.

The scent is too strong and artificial, which is a bit irritating...

Pros
I already wrote a review yesterday or the day before, but it got lost, so I'm writing it again. 흑흑 It used to have a temporary save feature, but I don't know why it didn't this time and it just disappeared. ㅜㅜ I thought I had already posted it. I'll write a simple one first, and then add more usage feedback as I continue using it. When I first used it, I definitely felt that the texture became smoother after using it. And since I applied for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program because of the good ingredients, I'm happy that effective ingredients are included. It's still early in the usage, so I haven't really felt the effects yet, but I think I'll need to use it more to know the full effects of the ingredients.
Cons
I understand, it's really a shame. ㅠ
Tip
Yes, that's a good recommendation. For dry skin types, it's best to apply this product at least twice, with an extra layer, to help prevent dryness.

Pros
🤍This is a review from a Hwahae Trial Reviewer🤍 ✔I'm in my late 20s and have dry skin It absorbs well, so it does a great job of preventing moisture evaporation right after cleansing as the first step. If the first serum is too heavy, it doesn't absorb well and it becomes burdensome to apply the rest of the skincare routine. But this serum absorbs quickly, isn't heavy, and is great.
Cons
1. The moisturizing power feels a bit weak... Even with the lightweight formula and good absorption, I wish it could have maintained the moisture a bit longer. It didn't last as long as I'd hoped. 2. The rose scent is too strong. You did replace the water with rose flower water, but seeing the fragrance ingredient in the full list, it seems the rose scent is from an added fragrance. You may need to reduce the fragrance content a bit.. You can change the order of the ingredients, as being towards the end doesn't necessarily mean a small amount. There may be some users who are sensitive to strong fragrances, and the scent is a bit off-putting.
Tip
I'd recommend this to those with dry but not extremely dry skin. Those with very dry skin may find the moisturizing power a bit lacking.

Pros
※Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review※ • Skin Type I have atopic dermatitis, so my skin is quite dry and sensitive. I don't have acne, but I get a few small pimples around my menstrual cycle. • Packaging The packaging is made of a sturdy, opaque material that seems like it wouldn't break easily if left in the bathroom. The opaque design is a bit disappointing, though...(noted as a downside) • Texture The texture is opaque and easily spreadable. It has almost no viscosity. I usually find my skin feels quite tight after cleansing, so I tried using this essence right after washing in the bathroom. I really dislike a sticky feeling on my face, but this essence absorbed quickly and felt lightweight yet moisturizing. It wasn't completely non-sticky, but since I really can't stand even a hint of stickiness, I'll have to pass. After using this for about 2 hours without any other cream, my face didn't feel overly tight or dry (though there was still some tightness). This seems like a good essence to apply in the bathroom and then head to the vanity, as the brand claims. The sturdy plastic packaging is reassuring in the wet bathroom environment, and the simple design looks nice.
Cons
I was a bit disappointed with the ingredients. Everything else was fine, but the fragrance bothered me. Of course, fragrance in cosmetics can make them more pleasant, but as someone with sensitive skin, I prioritize that over scent. The fragrance also seemed like it could be polarizing. Instead of a subtle scent, there was an intense rose fragrance as soon as I applied it, which was almost nauseating for me.ㅠㅠ The scent lingered even after some time, and it reminded me a bit of my mom's old perfumes. I wonder if a clear packaging would have been better. It was hard to gauge the amount, and while it didn't look bad, it was a bit inconvenient to use.ㅠㅠ

Pros
🤍The watery texture is light and absorbs well! 🤍 I only needed to pump it three times onto my face, and the moisturizing power was decent. 🤍 It was great at combating dryness during the seasonal changes.
Cons
The fragrance is disappointing. The artificial rose scent would be better if the fragrance was removed and the product was reformulated!

Pros
📍Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review📍 Dry skin + Redness + Dryness with Peeling I had the opportunity to try the Extra Milky First Essence through the Hwahae Trial Reviewers!💕 👍In one word, it was an essence like a serum👍 ✔️ Texture ✔️ The positive aspect would be that it had a serum-like, watery essence texture! It was not as thin as a toner. Since this essence has a milky toner texture, it seems to have the effect of providing a lot of moisture compared to a regular toner! It's also smooth when applied. ✔️ Absorption ✔️ After application, I gently patted it in and it absorbed well. ✔️ Packaging ✔️ The packaging has a pump dispenser, so I could use it hygienically. (Please refer to the photo!) ✔️ Amount ✔️ It seems like the typical amount for toners. Not too little, but not too much either.
Cons
✖️ Fragrance ✖️ The fragrance was too strong... The product uses rose water, so there is a rose scent added, but for someone like me who prefers fragrance-free cosmetics, the fragrance felt too overpowering. I have dry skin, so I go through multiple steps in my skincare routine after the toner, and even after applying the heavy cream in the last step, the rose scent was still very strong. The fragrance is the biggest downside! ✖️ Moisture ✔️ The texture of the product is almost like a serum-like milky toner, but I didn't really feel a strong sense of moisture. Even after the toner, I go through a serum step in my skincare routine, but there wasn't a noticeable boost in moisture like applying an extra layer of serum. So I felt that it would be better for me to apply an additional serum layer after cleansing rather than using this toner. ✖Texture✖️ The texture is a watery serum-like toner, but I didn't feel the same benefits as a heavier toner. The lighter texture didn't provide the advantages I expected compared to a regular toner.
Tip
🍯 Those with oily skin may find this toner suitable, but it could also work well as a serum!

Pros
*Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review* - Repurchase intent - Skin type Oily on the forehead and nose, dry on the cheeks and chin. Severe redness and visible capillaries, very thin skin. Highly sensitive, reacting to minimal stimuli. Cannot use peeling gels. Has contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and cholinergic urticaria. Does not suit oil-based skincare products. - Texture and Fragrance Slightly viscous, clear and runny texture. Has a fragrance. - What I liked 1. Lightweight As a first essence to be used after cleansing, it is not heavy and feels lightweight. Since my current ampoule is highly moisturizing, a lightweight first essence was very satisfactory. 2. Moisturizing Prevents the tightness after cleansing, providing immediate hydration. While it may not be as intensely moisturizing and plump as I would like, given its lightweight nature, it replenished enough moisture to address the post-cleansing dryness. In my case, as I will be using a toner afterwards, this level of hydration was satisfactory. 3. No oiliness The absence of oiliness and just the sensation of hydration was good. Personally, I do not prefer products with an oily feel, so the clean finish was satisfactory.
Cons
- Downside 1. Fragrance The fragrance is really disliked. It has a soap-like scent that is not subtle but rather strong. I've gotten more used to it over time, but the fragrance is still uncomfortable. I almost deducted a star, but overall I'm satisfied, so I gave 5 stars.
Tip
There were no side effects, but there was a slight stinging sensation during use. Sensitive skin types should definitely do a patch test before using!
