After using it for about 2 weeks until September 3rd, here is my review. ⭐️Skin Type⭐️ My skin is not extremely dry, but it is quite dry! I have a few blemishes, but my skin is not sensitive. ‼️Packaging, Container‼️ The packaging was so beautiful! It felt like a gift packaging.. I think it would also be great as a gift. The container size is almost palm-sized, and it has a slight weight to it considering the size. ‼️Fragrance‼️ I really love the scent of birch, and it was gently lingering when I applied it, which I loved so much. When I first received it, I kept opening the lid and smelling it because I really loved the fragrance. If you also enjoy the scent of birch, I think you'll enjoy using this product. ‼️Texture‼️ The texture is a bit like a runny nose(?) consistency. When I applied it on the back of my hand, it didn't drip down. ‼️2-Week Usage Overall Impression‼️ After using it diligently morning and night for 2 weeks since receiving it, I've noticed that my skin feels slightly less dry when I wake up in the morning compared to before. Since it's summer, I've been avoiding using essences and serums lately, so applying this may have contributed to this improvement. At first, it felt a bit drying, but after applying it 2-3 times, it became fine. It was also okay to just apply this once and then use a moisturizer on top, without an essence. It didn't feel sticky at all and had a smooth finish, which I really liked. When I did use an essence, my skin felt more moisturized, and my makeup applied well. During the 2 weeks of use, I didn't experience any itchiness or additional breakouts.
ConsThe dropper part was a bit inconvenient, as it didn't come up all the way and didn't dispense the product cleanly, which was a bit disappointing. The product claims to have whitening and wrinkle improvement effects, but I didn't notice those effects during the short usage period. Also, the lingering birch scent may be difficult for those who don't enjoy that fragrance as much as I do.
TipFor those with drier skin, I would recommend applying the product multiple times, as it felt a bit drying when I used it just once. For those who don't want to apply multiple layers of essence, I would suggest using a moisturizing product like a moisturizer after applying this product to help replenish the skin's moisture.

The absorption was moderate, so my skin didn't feel overly tacky upon application, but it still absorbed well. - My skin's uneven texture has significantly improved, and the existing acne has also subsided. Around 10 days in, my skin became much calmer and clearer.
Cons- When I press the dropper once and transfer it to the container, the amount that comes out is not much, as the dropper is already filled with the essence. It works better to press the dropper while it's in the air to get a full amount. - The viscosity of the essence means a large quantity doesn't come out when I squeeze the dropper, but the amount I get is still sufficient for application. - I used it for 2 weeks, but I'm not sure about the whitening/brightening effects.

When I kept it in the refrigerator and applied it chilled, it immediately calmed the reddened and heated areas. The natural, mild scent is also nice - it's not overpowering when applied. The lightweight texture didn't feel heavy even after makeup application.
ConsThe dropper was a bit inconvenient to use. Even when following the instructions, it was difficult to dispense and I had to press it multiple times. I'm not sure about the whitening and wrinkle improvement effects.
TipKeeping it in the refrigerator and applying it chilled will further enhance the hydrating and soothing benefits.

Thank you, Hwahae, for selecting me. ☺️ -Scent The scent reminds me of a forest or floral fragrance. Even when I saw the packaged box, the concept of the forest and phytoncide was very apparent, and the actual scent is just like that. I didn't find it unpleasant at all, and instead, it gave me a refreshing feeling when I applied it. -Texture It's a slightly creamy essence. Perhaps that's why the dropper application method is a bit different from other essences, and this part felt a little unfamiliar at first. However, the detailed instructions provided were very helpful, so you can easily get the hang of using it. -Application Even though it's a creamy essence, the application is smooth. It has a slightly silky finish. And since I have dry skin and don't enjoy heavily layering skincare, I found that after cleansing and applying this essence, my skin maintains hydration without feeling dry. For those with dry skin, applying this essence followed by a moisturizer would be ideal. -Packaging The packaging is absolutely beautiful 🤍 From the box to the ribbon, every detail seems to be carefully considered. The essence bottle itself also looks luxurious and elegant!
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, it would be the dropper. It's a bit of a hassle to use. I'm not sure about its whitening or anti-aging benefits, but it seems to be a good hydrating essence.
TipIt's great to use this as a soothing product when you have breakouts! Storing it in the fridge and applying it chilled can help calm the skin even faster.

Even though it's a lightweight product, it doesn't dry out quickly and lasts until the next morning (after that, it seems to be in the realm of creams). ✔️Fragrance The overall brand concept seems to be inspired by a forest, conveying a refreshing, cozy, calming, and cool feeling. The fragrance was quite distinctive, reminiscent of the scent you'd find in a flower shop - a real floral and herbal aroma, not an artificial flower scent. It wasn't overbearing at all. It seems to be mostly a floral-like scent. This kind of fragrance in a skincare product is something I've rarely encountered. (And don't worry, the lingering scent isn't overpowering like a perfume for men.) ✔️Skin Soothing When my skin feels heated up and flushed, it seems to have a moderate calming effect, as it's cooling. But since it absorbs quickly, the cooling sensation doesn't last long. It does provide noticeable soothing, though.
Cons✔️Whitening, Anti-Aging This is a bit disappointing. It doesn't seem to have any whitening effects. It seems to be more focused on soothing. ✔️Dropper Packaging I found it a bit inconvenient to use personally. The essence doesn't come out smoothly and evenly; it often comes out in spurts. The accompanying booklet even has instructions on how to use the dropper, so it's not that I'm using it incorrectly. I'm not sure if it's intentionally designed to dispense a smaller amount each time or not.
