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.

It has a watery, flowing texture, just like water. Whether my skin is good or bad, it helps control dehydration and has high absorption. With consistent use, my skin feels clearer and my complexion has improved. As a powerful oily-skinned person, it provides the perfect refreshing sensation as the first step in my skincare routine. I can't even look at other toners, and I always come back to this essence.
ConsThe downside would be the price, but it's a product I just can't give up.
TipUsing a spatula is not very good Applying it by patting with the palm of your hand is the best Spread it out with a patting motion before applying the pack, and it will harden Even when applied during irritation, it has a soothing effect

ConsDuring winter, if you have dry skin, it would be a good idea to apply one more ampoule.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Hwahae Trial Reviewer is the best. It absorbs without stickiness, and there's almost no scent. Even though it's on the pricier side for a water-based skin, it feels like the texture improves the more you use it. Anyway, it's a solid good item, so I'd strongly recommend it for those in their 30s. Other water-based skins can feel just so-so or you're not sure if they're good, but this one is definitely effective, so I'd highly recommend it for those who haven't found their skin care staple yet. I'm on my third bottle now. ★ Recommended as a water-based skin ★ Recommended for combination skin (no oiliness or blemishes) - it provides adequate moisture while improving skin texture and brightening
ConsThe price... The retail price is expensive. You should wait for the sales period.

As an essence, it is not too heavy or sticky, and it absorbs quickly into the skin. After using it, I could apply other products without any pilling, which was great. Especially when used as a prep step before makeup, it helps to smooth out the skin texture, making the makeup apply better.
ConsThe only downside is that while it doesn't have any major functions, the price point is a bit high compared to that.
TipYou can soak a cotton pad with the essence and apply it like a toner to your face - this enhances the skin-smoothing effect even more. Especially on dry days, layering it a few times makes the skin feel incredibly hydrated!! First, you can do a light cleansing with a cotton pad, then just spritz on the toner and let it absorb a couple of times.

It absorbs quickly, making it great to use as the first step after cleansing! I tend to have some dryness, but using this product helped with that.

ConsI don't really have any complaints about this product! It's a solid, versatile option.
