Skin condition: Combination dehydrated skin + small bumps + mask-related issues After trying various skincare products, experiencing breakouts, and then recovering, I've realized that the truly compatible products for my skin are those that don't cause blemishes and leave my skin feeling comfortable. This product fits the bill perfectly! After application, I noticed my complexion looked brighter, and most importantly, it didn't cause any blemishes! The texture is essence-like but with a watery consistency similar to a toner. However, when applied to the skin, it feels slightly heavier than a typical toner. I definitely plan to repurchase!
ConsWell... the price? Since it has a watery texture, I find myself using it up quite quickly!
TipI've tried applying it both with a cotton pad and directly with my hands. Personally, I prefer the latter method! As someone with oily skin, I find that using just this cica essence followed by a cream or emulsion provides sufficient hydration.

After using it for two weeks, despite my super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes at all. Unlike most essences that tend to be sticky, this product had zero stickiness. Even though it's a water-based formula, it didn't leave my skin feeling tight after application. Since it contains collagen, I applied it generously twice each time. While there weren't any dramatic changes, I didn't develop any blemishes, and my complexion seemed brighter after washing my face in the morning. I'll definitely purchase this with my own money once I finish this bottle (for anti-aging purposes). TIP: Due to the hot weather lately, my pores have become quite enlarged. I've been keeping the product in the refrigerator and using it cool. On days when my skin feels particularly tired, I soak a large cotton pad with the essence and leave it on like a mask for about 10 minutes.
ConsThe container is opaque, so it's hard to tell how much product is left. Those looking for a richer essence might not like this.

It's like a lightweight water toner that's perfect as the first step in your routine - totally fuss-free! I used it without any irritation or blemishes. The packaging is heavier than expected, which I personally love. It's completely fragrance-free and doesn't leave any sticky residue. Applying it right after cleansing helps refine my skin texture and leaves my complexion incredibly smooth!
ConsI deducted one star because it contains one potentially harmful ingredient. However, I didn't experience any blemishes or itching while using it.

There's a survey in two weeks, so I'll write a review along with it. I'll add more as I continue using it. Pros: - Fragrance-free - Almost no viscosity, feels like a water toner: no stickiness - Not drying after use. However, I'm also using other products like creams (using in summer) - No blemishes when used alongside my existing essence - Not sure if it's just my imagination, but my skin feels a bit firmer. I'll need to observe this more Update 7/25 I've been using it for about 4 days now On day 1, I used: Existing toner - This product - Existing essence But since it was milder than expected and has a water toner texture, From day 2, I've been using: This product twice - Existing essence On the 4th day of use I recently started controlling sebum more by using cleansing oil And I just bought a new essence So while several factors might be contributing to my skin's improvement After using this product, I definitely feel My skin has become a bit more elastic I used to have negative thoughts about collagen products (like they don't work unless they're low molecular weight) So I had never bought a collagen product before But after using this, my opinion is changing Apparently, 500 Dalton low molecular weight collagen can be absorbed And using it, I feel like it's actually effective For me, in my late 20s with dry skin and lots of fine lines I think I might need something like this So lately I've been curious and looking for collagen products, then peptide products. I'd like to find something more focused on elasticity And seeing this product sold for around 22,000 won at Olive Young, I feel tempted to buy it. Still considering 7/27 Tuesday It's been about 6 days of use I'm satisfied as I'm seeing effects of my skin becoming healthier My skin has become relatively clearer Not sure about wrinkle improvement yet It seems like elasticity has improved a bit, but not like the people in ads. Just a bit better than my original skin. Maybe this is the best my skin can be. If so, I'll try to be satisfied with that. Overall, I think I need to use it longer to give more definitive results. The following content is about the downsides... 8/29 I'm using it well. I use it every morning. Definitely, when the weather got a bit dry (recently it suddenly changed to feel like early autumn) This product is more moisturizing than the MNST Bifida Ampoule Toner. During autumn, if it gets too dry when using the Bifida toner, I might use this product morning and night. However, as I wrote before, applying this product alone in multiple layers doesn't seem good for me. I apply this product once, and before it's fully absorbed, I apply SPRLST Essence Begin and then move on to the next step. I noticed that if I wait for toners and essences to be fully absorbed before applying the next product (ampoules and creams), it feels a bit dry.
Cons7/28 Wednesday early morning Since yesterday, instead of applying this product 3 times I skipped my usual soothing cream and functional cream-type serum, but now fine lines are more noticeable. There wasn't much deep dryness, but when I smile, I feel a slight tightness in my cheek area, and in the mirror, it looked drier than usual with less glow. Still, when I touched my skin, there was a moisturized feeling. It seems that for my dry skin, it's too much to base my routine mainly on this product, even in summer. Rather, I felt like the dryness was causing fine lines. Sigh. From the morning, I'll go back to applying this product only once And use the toner I was using before this product, along with the soothing cream and moisturizing cream And I think I'll try buying the Laneige Beauty soothing cream I've been considering. I'm about to go to sleep after studying, but feeling dry, so I applied more soothing cream and it's much better. The soothing cream I'm using now came as a gratis with another product I bought. Laneige Beauty's sunscreen didn't suit my dry skin well... it's just sitting unused in my drawer all summer. I'm using a different sunscreen, the Mediheal Sun Serum. I hope the soothing cream works perfectly for me. If it suits me well, it'll be great value for money. Sigh, cosmetics seem to get more difficult the more you use them. With dry skin, everything feels tight in winter no matter what I apply I got hives from incorrectly applying jojoba oil on my body, which is supposed to be good Just a little sebum buildup and my pores widen... whiteheads appear I'd be satisfied at some point, but because it's uncomfortable, I keep trying to rely on cosmetics. More accurately, on cosmetic ads... And if it doesn't suit me well, it ends up being harmful. I realized again how difficult it is to find what suits your skin best. I thought my skin would be moist in summer But as I get older, it's dry even in summer It's really sad
TipMost recent update (8/6) I participated in the 2-week follow-up survey yesterday. Below is an additional review after about 2 weeks of use. Currently, I'm using it along with my existing toner, essence, and cream, As well as a newly added ampoule and emulsion. Honestly, for me, it's an essence toner without any significant advantages. So I apply this product once in the morning And in the evening, I use the MNST Bifida toner I've been using in summer instead. While this product's features should be elasticity and wrinkle improvement based on its ingredients I didn't feel it immediately And my biggest issues were moisturizing and improving skin texture, so I'm maintaining this routine. MNST Bifida toner -> SPRLST essence -> Recently purchased Chopi Ma ampoule -> (Every other night after using cleansing oil or cleansing oil + AHA toner, I apply soothing cream generously) -> Recently purchased emulsion substitute serum (CY - Dreams CM TL serum) Previously (in winter) Instead of the two recently purchased products, I used soothing cream -> Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Baume. My skin is extremely dry in winter. I don't think I'll repurchase this product after finishing it if there's no significant change in my skin. While it's a nice toner to use! It's a bit pricey And it doesn't have ingredients like Centella that suit my skin, so I'll probably try other products. Of course, keeping my existing basic items in mind in case the new attempts fail.

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.ProsHere's my review after using this product as diligently as possible! I'm so grateful to have been chosen as one of The Hwahae Testers ♡ Out of appreciation, I really tried my best to use it thoroughly. After using it, I haven't noticed any dramatic changes yet, probably because my skin is quite calm at the moment. However, I can definitely say there have been no blemishes. My skin tends to suffer from deep dryness all year round, but this product seems to help a bit with that. I don't usually use toners religiously, so I've been using this as a toner substitute. I think consistently using this might be better than skipping the toner step altogether, so I'm looking forward to seeing more results. If I notice any other changes by the time I finish the product, I'll come back to update my review! Oh, and I just realized this is from Chong Kun Dang! I actually discovered their skincare line because of their Lactoderm Biome Emulsion, which I loved. I tried a sample and bought the full size as soon as it was released. Not only do I trust the brand, but I personally love the emulsion so much that I'm confident in using this First Essence too!
ConsSo far, I don't have any complaints! If I had to nitpick, while it's not exactly a toner, if you're using it as a toner substitute like me, you might find it a bit pricey compared to some of the great value, large-volume toners with good ingredients available these days...
TipI love you, Hwahae Testers ♡ I have high hopes that applying this product meticulously step by step will have wonderful effects on the skin!

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'm writing this review a bit late as I received the product recently. After using it for a few days, I didn't experience any blemishes. Personally, not causing breakouts is the most important factor for me! The texture is close to a watery toner, flowing easily, but with a slight viscosity when touched. After application, there was almost no sticky feeling. For the sake of this review, I wanted to see some short-term effects, so I soaked a cotton pad generously and used it as a mask on my nasolabial folds for a few days. Though it's a short-term observation, I felt like they appeared slightly less noticeable. (This could be my imagination since I only checked with my naked eye...)
ConsSince I haven't used it long-term, it's hard to speak about the product's efficacy. While it claims to improve wrinkles, I personally didn't notice any striking results in terms of brightening, which is another of its advertised benefits. As for the packaging, I'm not particularly concerned whether it's plastic or glass, but I do wish the volume was larger!
TipIt seems like it would work well as a quick mask when you're in a hurry.

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.Pros※ I have sensitive, combination dehydrated skin! ※ I don't really like using sheet masks, so I used this as a toner. ※ I used it as a toner replacement in my morning and evening routines. 1. No blemishes Despite my sensitive skin, I'm pleased that I didn't experience any breakouts during the usage period. 2. Not sticky As it's a first essence, I used it like a toner, and I loved that it wasn't sticky. It has a slightly bouncy texture, so finishing with a cream on top was just right! 3. Redness improvement I tend to have some redness, and this definitely reduced it.
ConsWell... first off, the price is a bit wicked... At nearly $40 for 300ml, it's quite challenging for a student like me. If it goes on sale and drops to around $20, I'd consider buying it again. Also, since it's in a glass bottle, you have to be careful not to break it. Other than that, I can't think of any other downsides.
TipMorning: 1-2 layers as toner => Atobarrier365 Emulsion Evening: 2-3 layers as toner => Atobarrier365 Cream

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.ProsFirst off, I'm thrilled that it didn't cause any blemishes while using it! I also love that the product container is made of glass and the packaging is paper - it really gives off an eco-friendly vibe! The essence leaves a slight residue after application, so it might be more suitable for fall and winter rather than the hot summer months. While I haven't noticed any dramatic effects due to the short usage period, my skin does seem less dry over time.
ConsWell, the price point seems a bit high. Other than that, I didn't find any downsides while using it.
TipI've used it both as a toner pad and as a regular toner. I think it would be great to keep it in the fridge for a refreshing cool sensation!

I expected the essence to be a bit thicker, but it's actually more like a toner. After applying, it doesn't feel sticky at all, and the finish is refreshingly light. I love how it doesn't cause any blemishes and seems to have improved my skin.
ConsThere wasn't really anything I disliked about it... (I guess it's just too good!)
TipAfter washing your face, apply it with a cotton pad using patting motions. It helps remove even the tiniest particles of dirt from your skin!

The Hwahae Testers would approve! I love that it's not sticky at all, and it feels light yet refreshing on the skin. Even though I have super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes when using this product! That's a huge win for me!
ConsApart from the occasional issue of too much product coming out when you flip the bottle, I didn't really have any complaints while using it!
TipThis would be perfect for use in summer! It feels so refreshing!
