Like wet flowers, maybe? When I first apply it after showering, the fragrance is really pleasant. 🥰Texture I really dislike stickiness, but this absorbs well and doesn't leave a sticky feeling after application (´͈ ᵕ `͈ ) The texture is great. 🥰Hydration In the summer, it was good enough to use on its own In the fall, I've been using it to replenish my skin's moisture Layering it 2-3 times works well><♡♡ 🥰Design It's pretty (੭ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )੭⁾⁾ 🥰Volume The volume is generous, I haven't even used half of it yet. ****************************************************** Other I think I heard it has brightening properties, but I only notice a slight difference right after application, no significant improvement. My skin texture has improved a bit. I probably won't buy it again due to the downsides mentioned below.
Cons🤔Texture The formula is too watery, it drips and is inconvenient. 🤔Eye irritation If I apply it near my forehead or eyes, the essence stings and irritates my eyes a bit. It's better if I apply it to my cheeks first and use the remaining product on my forehead. 🤔Skin irritation There's a slightly itchy feeling when I apply it. 🤔Packaging After using it a few times without wiping, circular water stains start forming at the bottom. It also tends to drip around when I'm using it.
TipWhen my skin is very dry, I find it helpful to soak a 5-layer cotton pad with the product and place it on my face.

My skin type is combination, with some acne and sensitivity, and I tend to have scarring around the mask area. I did not experience any breakouts while using the product, so I'm currently satisfied with it. As the weather has gotten warmer, I've been using it as the final step in my routine instead of heavier formulas. The biggest advantage is the oil-free formulation, which I really like. The toner-like texture makes it lightweight and suitable for a cleansing-style application. It applies smoothly without any stickiness. I don't really feel a noticeable cooling or skin-improving effect, but there is a subtle glow when I apply it. My skin tends to be on the drier side, so the moisturizing effect is moderate. My makeup seems to apply well, so there may be some smoothing benefits, and I enjoy the brief herbal scent. The anti-aging effects are minimal and hard to discern. The good application and 200ml size make it convenient to use only a small amount each time.
ConsDespite the lack of oils, the formula has a lot of extracts, so I did a 2-day patch test before using it regularly. Fortunately, I didn't experience any breakouts. I use it as a cleansing toner or apply only a small amount, because using a larger quantity can make my face overly oily, even though I'm not extremely oily-skinned.
TipMy dry-skinned younger sibling did a spot mask with cotton pads every evening for a week, and the exfoliation and smoothing effects were significantly improved.

The lightweight formula really 'melts' into the skin, making it feel soft and supple! It does a great job of addressing dryness, leaving my skin much more hydrated and radiant with a smooth, velvety texture.♥︎
ConsThe fading of blemishes isn't as dramatic as I'd hoped. A pump-style dispenser would have been preferable, though the standard essence bottle is still manageable.

ConsThe watery, flowing texture is disappointing. I wish it had a lotion-like texture, even if it still flowed, it wouldn't be as quickly flowing...
TipInstead of using a regular cotton pad, use a toner-specific cotton pad, soak it in about a 500-won size amount, and wipe it along the skin texture. When you want to focus on the essence function, after wiping, place the well-soaked cotton pad on the areas that need concentrated application!

The scent was subtle and pleasant, and most importantly, it wasn't sticky but still kept my skin moisturized.
ConsThe only downside is that it feels a little itchy if it gets in your eyes.
TipWhen I applied it with a cotton pad as a mask, my makeup really absorbed well.

The texture is like a watery, non-sticky feeling, and it leaves a soft, smooth finish after application. After using toner, my skin sometimes feels a bit dry and tight, but this essence immediately helps hydrate my skin and makes it feel supple. The scent is also subtle and pleasant. Most importantly, my skin no longer feels tight or flaky even when I just use sunscreen, which is a huge relief. I'm so satisfied that I'll definitely repurchase once I finish this bottle.
ConsThe only minor issue I encountered was that when I applied too much, it stung my eyes a little bit. But that was entirely my own fault for not properly controlling the amount. The essence itself is not to blame at all.

The product was a prize from a survey, and the packaging looked simple yet not cheap. The texture was watery and thin, but I actually preferred that as it wasn't sticky at all. The floral scent was subtle and pleasant. After using it for a few days, my uneven skin tone became more refined and radiant - not a drastic change, but my complexion looked brighter and more vibrant, like the color saturation had increased. I feel like my skin looks more luminous and refreshed! I'd love to continue using this product and would consider repurchasing.
ConsWhile there aren't any bad ingredients, it did sting a bit when I accidentally got some in my eyes. I may just be more sensitive, though.
TipThis item would be perfect to use as the 7th step in a skincare routine!

It doesn't feel sticky at all, and it's not just a toner - it absorbs right away and feels great. My face also looks brighter. After using it for a week, I'm very satisfied. The ampoule in this line is also really good.
ConsSince I'm quite dry, it feels a bit drying. But it's fine because I use the ampoule and cream right after.
TipAfter cleansing, I apply it right away when my skin is a bit damp, and then I apply it one more time.
