Here are three ways to apply it: 1. Soak 1/2 of a triple-layer cotton pad, gently swipe it across your face, and leave it be. 2. After applying, cup your warm hands over your face to help absorption. 3. Put the soaked cotton pad on your fingertip and gently pat it into your skin. (I've been loving method 3 lately - perfect for impatient folks like me!)

The scent is a bit tart, similar to the SK-II Pitera Essence I used before. However, it dissipates quickly. The texture when applying is... well, imagine touching an eel with your bare hands - it's that kind of slippery feeling. There's a noticeable difference in how your skin feels 5 minutes after using just a toner versus using this product alone. This essence makes your skin feel 'a bit less' tight, but the effect doesn't last very long. Absorption is on the slower side. It can feel a bit heavy on busy mornings, but it's not bad when used occasionally at night. And... while there are certainly other expensive products out there, for some reason this brand feels particularly pricey to me. I'm not sure why, but it just does!

The centella asiatica content is reportedly very high - 93%! In fact, water is the first ingredient, followed by centella asiatica extract as the second. While not all centella extracts are created equal, I personally love this one. For a product labeled as an essence, it feels more like a skin toner. It's a bit thicker and heavier than a typical toner, which might make you question the 'essence' label at first. But once you apply it, you'll understand why it's called an essence (more on that in the downsides). They recently launched a toner in this line, but honestly, unless you're adamant about using a toner or matching your entire skincare line, you don't really need to buy it separately. Just use this essence instead. I'm already on my second bottle because while it doesn't necessarily prevent or eliminate blemishes, it does provide decent daily care! Plus, the packaging is easy to recycle, which is another bonus.

It feels more like a toner than an essence, so the hydration is slightly lacking.

This product really shines in two areas: soothing and absorption! It's fantastic for calming the skin when you layer it twice or apply it with a cotton pad. Plus, its lightweight texture makes it perfect to use before makeup.

It feels too slippery, and it seems to only provide surface moisture as my skin feels tight right after absorption. I have super sensitive skin (had atopic dermatitis as a child, now dealing with acne and sensitivity), and it causes a tingling sensation when applied. Even in summer, it evaporates too quickly, leaving me feeling like I barely applied anything. Such a disappointing product.

I loved how it lightly absorbed into my skin, giving an initial sensation of intense hydration!

The runny consistency makes it easy to use too much product. I'm concerned it might not provide enough moisture during the colder winter months when my skin tends to get drier.

As someone with seborrheic dermatitis, I can't use just anything on my skin. But this product doesn't cause itching or flare-ups, which is fantastic. Its emulsion texture strikes a perfect balance between a cream and serum, providing hydration without feeling sticky after application. It absorbs well, leaving my skin comfortable.

Initially, I liked it, but after a few days, I felt a tingling sensation and had to stop using it. As it absorbs, it leaves my skin feeling extremely dry, almost parched. Also, having to transfer it to an empty container for use is inconvenient.

It's lightweight and absorbs well without feeling sticky, making it an excellent choice for summer use.

It might seem rich at first, but it absorbs into the skin after just three pats

1. Price
Unless you're buying it from a marketplace, honestly, it's not the most cost-effective product out there

1. A hydration level between dewy and rich
Perfect for dry seasons, it initially feels a bit sticky but absorbs well after patting it in a few times

2. Soothing effect
While there's no dramatic 'Ah, it's calming!' moment, your skin just feels comfortable

After finishing the product, I wanted to buy it again, but it was so expensive that I couldn't. I tried something else, but when Hwahae had a sale, I immediately bought this again. However, it seems like they changed the design and ingredients during that time. Suddenly, my skin texture worsened... It felt like it didn't suit my skin anymore. When I first used it during the crowdfunding phase, it was great...

When I first used this product, it improved my skin so much that I repurchased it. I was incredibly satisfied because it cleared up my blemishes completely after the initial use.

I'm not sure about its soothing effects... Unfortunately. Plus, it feels a bit sticky when applied, and there are many similar products with better value for money and comparable ingredients, so I probably won't repurchase.

The formula is gentle and easy to apply. It has a light consistency that spreads smoothly across the skin. Oh, and the aesthetically pleasing packaging is truly beautiful!

The essence has a watery consistency similar to a toner. I found it works beautifully when generously applied to a cotton pad and used as a mask - it was absolutely fantastic!

While it's a hydration-packed essence, you'll need to supplement with a rich cream to ensure adequate moisture balance.

I purchased this during the Wadiz crowdfunding campaign and gave it a try. My skin is incredibly sensitive and prone to reactions, but the abundance of Centella Asiatica extract in this product worked wonders for soothing my irritated skin. I was so satisfied that I made sure to use every last drop, right down to the final squeeze!

I really appreciate the brand's philosophy of minimizing packaging and giving back to both the environment and consumers.
