I bought this product because I heard it was good for blemishes, and I saw positive results. However, the scent isn't particularly pleasant, and it's a bit too rich for my liking, which is disappointing. - e0******Combination SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedAug 6, 2024
My skin tends to break out immediately when I use oil-based products. I started using the Mixsoon Centella Essence first, and its application, texture, and scent (fragrance-free) are similar to the Houttuynia Cordata Essence. It has a flowing oil-like feel, but it's not overly rich. While it has an oil-like texture, I haven't experienced any blemishes yet, and my skin feels hydrated, so I'm satisfied for now. It would be even better if they could add a pump dispenser to the container. Layering can be nice, but for my skin, using multiple layers feels a bit heavy and suffocating. I find it's better to apply the Mixsoon essences lightly, depending on my skin's condition. - a_****Dry SkinRecommendedApr 24, 2024
✓ Gentle on the skin ✓ Great for blemish-prone skin ✓ Suitable for sensitive skin ✓ Clean and simple ingredients ✓ Perfect for masking → The ingredients are clean and simple, containing only Houttuynia Cordata extract. It's particularly known to be beneficial for sensitive or blemish-prone skin. When you feel a pimple coming on, you can soak a cotton pad and use it as a mask for a soothing effect. Though I've only used it a few times, I could immediately tell how gentle and non-irritating it is! ✓ The 100ml size feels smaller than expected ✓ May cause blemishes if skin condition is poor → If you apply too much when your skin isn't in good condition, it might lead to small blemishes or milia. It's important to adjust the amount based on your skin's current state. ✓ Can create a Houttuynia Cordata mask by soaking cotton pads and placing them in a case ✓ Can be mixed with modeling masks → These days, you can buy sets of plain cotton pads in cases. It would be great to get one of those and make pure Houttuynia Cordata masks! I'm using it by placing soaked cotton pads on my skin for a calming effect, rather than wiping. If you have sensitive skin, don't wipe with the soaked cotton pad. Instead, leave it on your face for about 5 minutes, then gently press to remove. This method is much less irritating! For exfoliating toners, use only twice a week. If you have sensitive skin, be cautious as frequent exfoliation can damage your skin barrier and increase sensitivity. Other than that, it seems to be a product that's easy to incorporate into your routine! - 0l********Oily SkinAcne SkinRecommendedApr 8, 2024
The houttuynia cordata extract isn't as pungent as I expected. I bought this after trying centella for blemish control and soothing, and it's effective for mild blemishes. While the price might seem high for a single-ingredient product, it's still reasonable compared to other pricier options. Despite being called an essence, it's not runny like a serum. Instead, it has a slightly thicker consistency, more like a skin/toner type. They should probably rename it to 'extract'. For blemish-prone areas, it's great to soak a cotton pad with the product, apply it to the skin, leave it on while drying your hair, then pat in any remaining product for better absorption. - eh******Dry SkinSensitive SkinSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedFeb 27, 2024
Gentle and soothing even for super sensitive skin. It's reassuring that it contains only the essential ingredients. It might feel more rich than hydrating, but it's not greasy. The essence is quite fluid, so it works well in a spray bottle too. - l3*******Dehydrated SkinAcne SkinRecommendedDec 22, 2023
It's decent. I was already using products with Centella Asiatica and Galactomyces Bifida. It's just okay. I probably won't repurchase it. - rh*****Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedDec 10, 2023
Overall impression - A decent product, but didn't have any remarkable effects for me, unfortunately. Since I don't have particularly problematic skin, I didn't notice any effects that made me think 'Wow, this is great!' That's why I don't plan to purchase it again. Just an ordinary feel when applied? There's a subtle herbal scent, which I personally enjoy. - wj*******Dry SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityRecommendedJul 24, 2023
It's gentle on the skin. Great for spot treatment when blemishes are about to appear, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Also works well as a toner substitute in summer. The watery consistency makes it a bit tricky to apply, but I use it because it's a single-ingredient product, so I know exactly what I'm putting on my skin. Soak a cotton pad and apply it to areas where blemishes are forming, or use it after exfoliating dead skin cells in summer. 
po********Combination SkinSensitive SkinDark CirclesEnlarged PoresRecommendedApr 12, 2023I initially bought the bean essence, but after trying the Houttuynia Cordata essence sample, I decided to repurchase that instead. The improvement in skin texture and complexion was noticeably impressive! Looking at the ingredients, it seems to contain only Houttuynia Cordata extract. Maybe that's why it's so effective... The regular price is a bit steep to purchase at full cost. It's more affordable to buy it on Hwahae. I'm referring to when you use various coupons and points, of course! It's great to layer this product, applying it twice. Make sure to finish with a moisturizing emulsion or cream for the best results! - yj*****Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedMar 30, 2023
After using it for about 10 days, I'm leaving a review. I've been applying it mainly on areas with blemishes for its calming effect, and I can feel the redness fading and my skin becoming soothed. It's too runny and drips easily. The texture is closer to a toner than an essence, so you need to pour it into your palm to use it. Soaking a cotton pad and placing it on troubled areas doubles the calming effect. It's also great when mixed with a hydrating cream in the right amount.
