Skin characteristics: Oily T-zone, facial flushing with dry cheeks Preferred product features: Lightweight + hydrating, no stickiness Evaluation criteria: First impression (texture, fragrance, etc.)/hydration/skin soothing/moisture retention/finish Although there is no 0.5 score, I've rounded it up to 4 points, but I would have given it 3.5 points if possible. 1. First impression (bad) The texture feels slightly like a watery gel. It's not completely runny like water, but there's a slight viscosity to it. The fragrance is a fresh floral scent? But it's a bit too fresh... It's hard to pinpoint the exact flower, but it reminds me of the assortment of flowers sold in front of schools during graduation or enrollment ceremonies, with a hint of green apple. 2. Hydration (good) I tried it with and without cleansing. Even with just a light layer, the hydrating effect is quite noticeable. 3. Skin soothing (so-so) Since I have facial flushing, I can distinguish between toners that instantly soothe the skin and those that don't. This one is somewhere in the middle. The cooling sensation isn't extremely strong, but the unique hydrating property prevents any irritation or discomfort. 4. Moisture retention (good) Thanks to the texture, the moisture seems to last quite well. My previous product was a completely watery formula, and my face would dry up quickly after application, but with this one, my face still feels hydrated even after watching a YouTube video. 5. Finish (so-so) The surface of my skin feels moisturized, but I'm not entirely convinced that it deeply hydrates the skin. It provides a protective layer, but the moisture doesn't seem to fully absorb into the skin.
Cons1. I'm extremely sensitive to fragrances, and if I detect even a hint of artificial scent, I immediately feel averse to it. This product has exactly that kind of fragrance... Although I've gotten used to it a bit after using it for a week, the initial scent is still quite jarring. 2. The finish is not as refreshing as I'd like. Since I greatly prefer lightweight formulas, this doesn't quite align with my preferences (I avoid thick moisturizers and instead layer several soothing, hydrating products).
TipI think the product works better when applied with the palms rather than with a cotton pad. With a texture between a toner and a serum, this could be a good option for those who prefer to minimize their skincare routine and use fewer products, rather than layering multiple steps.
