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.ProsThe Hwahae First Essence is a product I've been using for years and want to continue using. Although it is a bit pricey, it is a great first product to apply after cleansing. Pouring a generous amount and gently massaging it with the palms helps soothe any post-cleansing irritation and leaves the skin feeling comfortable. It is not a water-based formula but has a slightly viscous texture. It absorbs quickly and doesn't evaporate right away. It is great for sensitive skin.
ConsIf we must fill in the blank, it might be the price...wouldn't it?
TipIf you feel like dead skin has accumulated, after cleansing, first wipe it off with a 2/1 cotton pad, then apply a generous amount and let it absorb - it will become smooth.

The next step of skincare products absorb well into my skin. It has a watery feel, but it still provides a decent amount of hydration. My skin feels comfortable and I haven't experienced any trouble while using it!
ConsThere's a tendency for it to be used a bit excessively. When I dispense it onto my hand, some of it ends up spilling, so I have to wipe it off with a cotton pad.

While I'm not sure exactly what effects it has, it doesn't cause any problems for my sensitive, troubled skin and feels comfortable~
ConsIt feels like I'm not sure if I'm even applying it properly haha The moisturizing effect is quite minimal You'll need to add other products as well
TipI've been applying it after toner~

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 been curious about this line for a long time, so I'm trying it out as a sample, and the lack of irritation seems to be the biggest advantage. It also contains functional ingredients, but there's no irritation either! I used it as a pack by soaking a cotton pad, and there was no trouble either😊 Using it as a toner every day also seems to have helped improve my skin texture. It can be applied gently and without burden😌
ConsThe fragrance is perfectly fragrance-free. I wish it had contained essential oils like lavender that would have helped calm the mind.
TipUsing it as a toner pack would make the effects appear faster!

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.ProsIt's great for a light hydration boost, and the simple ingredients are non-irritating. I heard that the microbiome-balancing formula is effective for sebum control, so I'll have to use it for a while to see the results.
ConsThis is also quite pricey, and the watery formula might be a bit drying in the winter.
