Using products with too many active ingredients can sometimes clash with other skincare steps. This product is a water-like essence, so I didn't expect intense hydration. Typically, watery toners or essences feel more moisturizing due to their texture. However, this product shattered those expectations. Despite its light finish and quick absorption, it's just as hydrating as thicker formulas. I started using it during the changing seasons, and from the toner step alone, it provided such great hydration that finishing with an ampoule or cream made my skin feel deeply nourished from within. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I'm actually more excited to use this in summer. While summer brings more oil production, using only lightweight products can lead to dehydration, causing more blemishes and oiliness. This product, being deeply hydrating yet lightweight, seems perfect as a first step in hot weather. I also love the glass packaging. While plastic is lighter, I prefer glass bottles for their satisfying feel in hand.
ConsThe price point is a bit high, which is disappointing. Although it's an essence, I use it like a toner, so I go through it quickly. It would be great if they offered a more budget-friendly size or price point.
TipOn days when I experience deep dryness, I layer it twice for better absorption. It absorbs well and feels lightweight, yet provides good hydration, making it seem like the perfect product for my needs.

It's packed with various functional components, and it's even fragrance-free! There are absolutely no added fragrances in this product. Moreover, it's a dual-functional cosmetic for both brightening and anti-wrinkle effects, and it even includes vitamin ingredients. Despite all this, I didn't feel any irritation on my skin at all. I used three sample bottles, and that was enough to make me think, 'I could definitely use the full-size product without any skin issues!' What I really loved was how incredibly lightweight this water-type essence is. There's no stickiness whatsoever, which is fantastic.
ConsThe reason I deducted one star is because it lacked the rich texture I was expecting. Given that it's marketed as a 'first essence', I had anticipated this to some extent, but honestly, there's hardly any difference from a regular toner. Because of this, you'll definitely need to follow up with a moisturizing product to ensure proper hydration.
TipOn those days when I'm too tired to apply multiple products to my face, I use this first essence like an exfoliating toner, followed by a hydrating moisturizer, and then I'm off to bed.

I love products with collagen, so I was satisfied with this one too. -Texture The liquid formula allows for light application and doesn't feel heavy, giving a refreshing sensation which I liked. It absorbs well and was perfect as the first step after cleansing. -Dead skin cells It seems to provide some care for dead skin cells as well. -Finish I liked that it maintained a moisturized finish.
Cons-Packaging It's a bit heavy due to the glass container. Other than that, I have no complaints.
TipIt doesn't seem suitable as a 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.ProsThe lightweight, watery texture makes it perfect for applying right after cleansing as the first step or as an exfoliating toner. It feels clean and fresh, leaving the skin hydrated without any dryness - truly giving that 'moist inside, smooth outside' effect! The CKD Collagen Essence can be applied in two ways. One method is to saturate a cotton pad and gently pat it along the skin's texture, allowing it to absorb like an exfoliating toner. Despite its red, lightweight formula, it's incredibly hydrating and moisturizing. When applied after cleansing, following the skin's texture, it instantly makes the skin feel supple. It transforms dull, lifeless skin into a moisturized, vibrant, and elastic complexion. Being a collagen essence, it definitely imparts a natural glow to the skin, and its plumping effect is unique in how it effectively combats dryness and tightness.
ConsThe bottle isn't plastic, so it seems like it could break easily if dropped. It's also a bit on the heavy side.

Its lightweight and clear water-like texture provides hydration without feeling heavy, making it a great first step in your skincare routine. 2. It absorbs quickly, allowing subsequent skincare products to be applied smoothly without pilling. 3. I appreciate that it's nearly fragrance-free, which suits my preferences.
ConsThe only downside might be that it's not exactly budget-friendly. The glass bottle makes it a bit heavy to carry around.
TipI love how just patting it into my skin a couple of times provides enough hydration that I don't even need to use an essence.

Hydration function The water-based essence is great for summer use, and it provides excellent hydration after application. Usually, water-based formulas have a lightweight feel, making it difficult to expect other benefits, but this product offers sufficient hydration for summer with just the essence alone. 2. Ingredients It's free from harmful components.
ConsThere's nothing bad to say! Maybe the price? Given that there are so many affordable products out there, this one might feel relatively expensive.
TipI apply it with my hands. Although it says to use a cotton pad, in my experience, hands work better. When I absorbed it with my hands rather than using a cotton pad, it seemed to hydrate more effectively. I think this is because it's more of a hydration-focused product rather than just a light toner.

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.

Especially in hot weather like now, using this type of essence is perfect and seems to be good for the skin. I think even those with sensitive skin can use it without any issues. I mainly used it as a cleansing toner, and I was very satisfied with how it felt.
ConsAs it's lightweight, it does dry quickly, so you need to apply a cream along with it. Also, the container made it a bit difficult to control the amount. Other than that, I didn't find any drawbacks.
TipIt's really excellent as an exfoliating toner. I highly recommend it for those who use exfoliating toners.

It sinks right in, leaving no residue when applying the next skincare product, which I love. Texture I thought essences usually had a runny texture, but this one is more like a toner. I especially appreciate its lightweight feel for summer use, when I dislike applying thick products. Effectiveness I can see a reduction in dead skin cells. Usually, I only wear sunscreen because makeup tends to flake due to my dry skin. But lately, my skin feels firmer, and even with makeup, there's no flaking. I'm pleased with how it's managing my dead skin cells. Scent I really like that it's almost fragrance-free. I tried a scented product before and felt dizzy, probably due to fragrance sensitivity. This one doesn't have that issue, which is great!
ConsIngredients Too many ingredients? Maybe that's why it occasionally causes blemishes, possibly due to over-nourishment. Effectiveness It's supposed to brighten and improve wrinkles, but I can't really tell if it's working yet!
TipI've tried using it both as an exfoliating toner and as a skin pack. When used as an exfoliating toner, it seemed to absorb less effectively. Given it's summer, I found using it as a skin pack worked better for me.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I really liked the lightweight texture and great ingredients. It felt rich in nourishment.
ConsThis product left a sticky feeling after absorption, which I didn't expect, so the application wasn't great. It felt more sticky than hydrating, with a somewhat dry texture. Also, I started getting some blemishes after using it, so I had to stop after a few days. I used it with my regular skincare routine, but maybe because it's so nourishing, it caused some breakouts. I plan to try it again after calming my skin and reducing my other skincare steps.
