After applying it twice and following with a cream, my skin feels healthier.
ConsThe pump is too short, making it difficult to get the product on your fingers. You need to dispense it into your palm two or three times and then pat it on.

Let me share my honest thoughts. The standout feature is its silky-smooth texture - transparent and slightly viscous, like a runny gel. Surprisingly, it's made from 100% organically grown white jelly mushroom extract. I'm not sure how they achieved this without additives, but the website lists no other ingredients. As a vegan product that provides the same bouncy hydration as snail creams, I'm absolutely thrilled with it. As the ingredients suggest, there are no preservatives or potentially harmful substances, and it's fragrance-free. While not overly sticky, it absorbs quickly like a toner or light serum. However, it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry, so on days when I'm staying in or feeling lazy, I sometimes use just this serum alone. I didn't notice any specific functional benefits, but it definitely provides gentle, clean hydration without any irritation. It's suitable for all skin types, all year round. Even my parents, who aren't usually interested in skincare, enjoyed using it - which I find personally satisfying.
ConsThe beautiful packaging is made from recycled plastic, with FSC-certified paper boxes and soy ink printing - very eco-friendly! However, the pump is a bit disappointing. Instead of a satisfying, generous dispensing, only a small amount comes out with each pump (see attached photo for reference). You also need to press quite firmly, which can be frustrating. The difficulty in getting the product out smoothly is probably this product's only real drawback. While it might seem like a minor inconvenience, the ease of use becomes important for a skincare product you're using at least once daily.
TipWhile I haven't thoroughly researched the brand Difondra or their other products yet, it seems this particular item was carefully designed with eco-friendliness in mind. I was surprised to learn from the product description that white jelly mushroom is considered a 'vegan hyaluronic acid'. It was shocking to discover that traditional hyaluronic acid, known for its excellent moisturizing properties, is often derived from animal sources like rooster combs (vegetarian friends, was I the only one who didn't know this?). I'd never heard of this brand before, and haven't seen any ads or information about it since. This experience has really challenged my preconception that lesser-known brands might use cheaper ingredients or lack effectiveness due to the absence of certain components. I'll likely repurchase the entire skincare set when it goes on sale.

It has a slick, slightly viscous texture with no color or scent. Skin Feel: Due to its slick and viscous nature, it glides smoothly over the skin. After application, it leaves a subtle glow, as if a thin film is coating the surface. The intensely hydrating finish seems to last for quite a while. Interestingly, while it feels like it's coating the skin with moisture, it doesn't feel heavy or suffocating at all - which is great! Scent: True to its all-green grade ingredients, it's fragrance-free, which I appreciate as it won't cause irritation. My skin is particularly sensitive and prone to blemishes from even slight incompatibility, but I've used this product for over a week without any issues. It's perfect for providing rich hydration during seasonal changes and dry weather. I feel like I've struck gold with this product that I got to try through an event, and I'll definitely be repurchasing once I finish this one!
ConsThere's not much to criticize, it's above average. While you might not expect major functional benefits, it's fantastic for providing rich hydration. If only they would offer more sales...
TipFor those with dry or combination dehydrated skin, applying two layers of this product should absorb well and work wonders.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst off, I was really impressed that it only has one ingredient. The runny texture might not be quite enough to deeply hydrate, but it absorbs so smoothly, which I really liked. The absorption rate was a bit on the slower side, though. After it sinks in, it leaves a nice, firm feeling on the skin. It's not greasy at all, just pleasantly moisturizing with a slight tightening effect. It's great for a light application while still providing good hydration. My husband, who's super picky about skincare, absolutely loved how gentle it is. However, this seems like a product where you'd need to use it consistently for a month or two, rather than just a couple of weeks, to really see its true potential.
ConsThe price, right? Considering the ingredients, you can nod your head in understanding, but it's not exactly budget-friendly. I'll keep using it and update my review if I notice anything special.

So far, I haven't experienced any blemishes, and my complexion seems to be getting clearer. I definitely want to keep repurchasing this!
ConsI can't find any downsides yet! It might be a bit rich for summer use, but it's perfect for the current weather.
TipMy skin tends to dry out quickly after washing, but when I apply this right after cleansing, it feels noticeably less sticky even when applied in the morning. I think it absorbs more evenly when pumped directly onto the face rather than dispensing it onto your hands first.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI was curious about white jelly mushroom since it's been featured in ads lately, and I love that it's the main ingredient! The texture is slightly sticky yet slippery when applied, but once absorbed, it doesn't feel tacky. It leaves a light, hydrating feel on the skin with a subtle glow. It's actually more moisturizing than I expected!
ConsWhile the case and packaging are beautiful, the opaque container makes it hard to see how much product is left, which is inconvenient (I usually prefer transparent containers). The texture is somewhat sticky, reminiscent of the once-popular snail creams, which might not be for everyone. It's less sticky than snail creams, but still takes some time to absorb. The pump is a bit stiff, and considering the price-to-volume ratio, it's on the pricier side.
TipFor quicker absorption, try rolling it on initially, then leaving it untouched for a while, or spritz a light, non-sticky toner over it. Follow up with a cream to lock in the moisture. This method gives a subtle glow and boosts hydration, leaving you with satisfyingly moisturized skin!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI've heard a lot about vegan cosmetics but never tried them, so I was curious and decided to give this a shot. My skin around the mouth area tends to get very dry, so I usually finish my skincare routine with a highly concentrated oil or heavy product. However, when I applied this after my toner, it felt incredibly smooth during application. Once absorbed, it left a very sticky finish, almost like a snail cream. I actually love this texture as I've always preferred honey-based products that leave that sticky feeling, like your palm sticking to your cheek. It's the kind of consistency where if you press your palms together, it forms little strings. Unlike other skincare products that feel moisturizing at first but leave my skin feeling dry again after a while, this one maintains hydration. It seems perfect for dry autumn and winter months. I also appreciate the pump dispenser, which keeps the product from being exposed to air, unlike the dropper-style packaging of most serums and essences.
ConsThere are no real downsides! Without this opportunity from The Hwahae Testers, the price would be quite steep for a regular purchase. Also, while I personally love it, the very sticky finish might not be for everyone.
TipOne application is enough, so don't layer it. Instead, follow up with a light moisturizer. Be careful not to apply twice even if your skin feels dry, as it can become excessively sticky.

But after a short while, it settles into a silky, smooth finish. Initially, I thought I wouldn't like it due to the stickiness, but the final silky, soft feel made me fall in love with it (I was surprised how soft my hands felt after applying it too). ♡ Moisturizing: Because of the silky finish, I thought it might not be very hydrating, but the moisturizing power is really good. One day, I was too lazy and just slathered this on generously before bed. The next morning, my skin felt soft with no tightness. ♡ Other points: The scent is so subtle you might wonder if there's any at all. My skin became super sensitive after giving birth, but this doesn't cause any blemishes. The subtle fragrance and gentle ingredients make this highly recommended for pregnant women with morning sickness! Also great for those with dry skin who don't like the damp feeling after skincare!
ConsIf you can get past the slightly sticky feeling when you first apply it, you'll likely be satisfied with its moisturizing power and overall ingredients. Also, the pump spout seems a bit short, so if you hold it straight up and press, the product falls straight down. It's better to tilt it when pumping.
TipIt absorbs well even when applied generously and doesn't leave a heavy feeling on the skin.

It absorbs well and leaves the skin feeling very hydrated after use. I noticed a significant improvement in skin texture and hydration levels after using this product. What I really liked is that it's gentle and almost fragrance-free, causing no irritation to the eyes or sensitive skin. I'd be willing to purchase this with my own money once I finish the current one.
ConsThere weren't any major drawbacks. While it might feel a bit sticky initially, it fully absorbs after a short while, resulting in a satisfying user experience.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSkin condition: Dry / Recently experiencing sensitivity and tingling around eyes and cheekbones Texture: Viscous like nasal mucus Application/Absorption: Contrary to concerns, it glides on smoothly. Initially feels like a film on the skin, but give it time and it absorbs better than at first. Effectiveness: After using for about a week, the first 2-3 days I felt like my skin condition improved the next day (personal opinion) Appearance: The simple case design makes it a pleasure to use
ConsFinish: Although it does absorb, it's best used only at night. If you apply sunscreen or brightening moisturizer over it, it tends to pill up like dead skin cells. Note: There's no pilling when used alone, so it's fine for evening skincare! Nourishment: For those with dry skin, using the essence alone isn't enough due to its stickiness and lack of hydration. I highly recommend applying a hydrating essence or cream on top
TipApply the Origin100 essence first, then layer a hydrating essence for a moisturized sleep without dryness! Important: Recommended for nighttime use rather than daytime!
