Pros
As soon as you apply it, your skin is overflowing with moisture!! It absorbs quickly and smoothly without any stickiness!! The fragrance is incredibly luxurious and neutral, like a woody scent? It's a subtle yet deep aroma that permeates the air ㅎㅎ I think it's because it contains birch leaf extract, so it's reminiscent of fresh leaves and the scent of damp wood ㅎㅎ After applying, a moisture barrier forms on the skin's surface, immediately addressing any dryness! Even though it's an essence, it feels like a highly concentrated ampoule serum ㅎㅎ It finishes off refreshingly without any stickiness, which was perfect for my oily skin~! It's been a while since I've found a basic skincare product that makes me feel this much moisture and hydration^^ The product says 'Inviting your weary skin to the shade of the Finnish forest' on it, and when you smell the fragrance, you really do feel like you've been invited to a birch tree forest..! 100% repurchase intent
Cons
Since it's a glass bottle, there's a sense of anxiety that it might shatter if dropped... Let's all be careful!!
Tip
There are two types of caps, so you can choose the one that suits your preference! The original cap is a button-style tip, and there's an additional rubber dropper tip included as well~ The button-style cap, you open the lid and press the button from the outside, then release the button once it's inside the container, and the product comes out well ㅎㅎ

Pros
The packaging was so thoughtful that the first impression was very good! It's really good to give as a gift to a friend and it's just right for the current sensibility! To put it bluntly, I think I'll reorder it. Many people are dissatisfied with the dropper, but I wasn't at all. Since it's highly concentrated, you don't need to dispense a lot, and a small amount is enough to apply, so I actually think this dropper is just the right amount and I'm satisfied with it. I thought it would be sticky since it's a highly concentrated product, but there's no stickiness at all. It applies very smoothly! And it absorbs really quickly. It's moisturizing enough to satisfy even dry skin. There's no dryness inside either. Of course, it's not enough to use on its own, but the moisture lasts a long time. The moisturizing function is truly effective! The scent is also really nice. It has a natural scent, and people who like natural scents will really enjoy it. I've used it for about 2 weeks, and no new acne or bumps have appeared on my skin. But the existing bumps haven't disappeared either, though it's still satisfactory enough to use as a moisturizer and soothing product! As for the whitening, I'm not sure since I haven't used it for a long time.
Cons
There are about 4 main ingredients to be cautious about. I didn't have any allergies or new bumps, but still...
Tip
It might be good to take a look at how to use the dropper.

Pros
It was great that it was not sticky and absorbed quickly~ The fresh scent was also natural, so I didn't feel any aversion!! Although I haven't noticed significant nourishment after a week of use, my sensitive skin is still fine, and my skin has become much smoother, so I'm looking forward to it!
Cons
The dropper is pretty, but a bit inconvenient to use~ The pressing part seems a bit weak.

Pros
The fragrance is very refreshing and pleasant. I usually prefer unscented products, but this fragrance is not overbearing and is quite nice. The application is smooth and moisturizing. It's not overly sticky and absorbs well. Since I have dry skin, I needed to apply a moisturizer on top, as this essence alone was slightly lacking over time. Those with oily skin may find this essence sufficient on its own. The gentle formula did not cause any breakouts. I accidentally got some in my eyes, but it didn't sting too much. The amount is generous, and the essence is well-rounded in all aspects.
Cons
The essence itself is quite nice, but the dropper is not great. The essence doesn't come out of the dropper easily, so it takes quite a bit of time, and it was inconvenient to use in the busy mornings. I strongly recommend that the dropper be replaced with a pump-style dispenser. This dropper is the reason I took off a star.
Tip
After drawing the essence into the dropper, make sure to keep the dropper tip about 1 centimeter away from your face when dispensing the product. This will help the essence come out more smoothly.

Pros
First, the fragrance was not irritating but refreshing and cool, which I personally liked. Secondly, the spreadability. It was not too sticky or too thin, but just the right viscosity, so it was easy to apply on the back of my hand and pat it onto my face. Thirdly, my skin is combination, with dryness around my nose and mouth area due to wearing a mask. The dryness was severe, and when I applied creams or thicker products, I would get breakouts, but if I didn't apply anything, it would be itchy. However, this product could be reapplied throughout the day in a light, thin layer without causing any skin issues. Fourthly, when I pumped the product, the right amount came out, not too much, so two pumps were just enough to apply.
Cons
At first, I was surprised by the size of the delivery box. How big could the product be to need such a large box? However, when I opened it, there was another box inside, and while the effort to package it elegantly was evident, it doesn't seem to fit the current trend of being environmentally conscious and preferring minimal packaging. I'm not sure if this packaging is only for gift sets, but as someone who is trying to reduce single-use and waste, the packaging was a bit disappointing.
Tip
The texture is not heavy, so it was fine to reapply it after makeup. I kept it in my bag and applied it to my mask-induced dry skin, and it helped alleviate the dryness without causing any skin issues. I had previously bought a stick product from a different brand for this purpose, but the heavy texture made me not want to use it, so I think this product is better suited for that kind of use.

Pros
*I have sensitive skin* The fragrance captivated me as soon as I opened the bottle - it has a naturally subtle scent. The formula is a light essence, not too thin or thick. It applies smoothly and absorbs quickly without any stickiness. It's very gentle, and there was no irritation at all when I used it after exfoliating. My skin felt soothed. I will definitely repurchase this when I run out!
Cons
The dropper on the lid doesn't draw up the essence very well, so it's a hassle to use every time. The dropper design could use some improvement.
Tip
Adding a drop of oil to the essence helps it absorb better and leaves my skin feeling lightly moisturized.

Pros
This is a review written after being selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. Packaging and Container: First of all, the packaging came very prettily. I had a good impression as they used all eco-friendly materials. Inside the packaging, the product usage instructions were written kindly. The bottle is a glass bottle, and the dropper usage is different from other products. Formulation: It is a highly concentrated essence. However, when applied, it absorbed tightly without any stickiness, leaving a bouncy feeling. The absorption is average. I felt a lot of moisture, so I think I could skip the toner step and just use this alone. Functionality: I didn't see any whitening or wrinkle improvement effects. But it seems good for moisture replenishment. Fragrance: It has a condensed floral scent. However, it doesn't feel natural and has an artificial impression, so it will likely have a lot of likes and dislikes. Trouble: I didn't have any trouble after using this product. Rather, the good moisture made it feel soothing when applied with cooling.
Cons
The packaging was pretty, but it seems excessive compared to the product (too large a box, multiple layers of packaging). Although they used eco-friendly materials, it would be more positive if they could reduce these aspects as well. The dropper is quite disappointing. The usage instructions are kindly included, but the pumping doesn't work well, and it's hard to squeeze out the right amount. If they just change the dropper, the product could be much better. The floral fragrance will likely have a lot of likes and dislikes. It's a bit artificial and concentrated, so it would be better to just use the good ingredients without adding any additional fragrance.
Tip
It absorbs right after applying the toner. If possible, I'd recommend changing the dropper.

Pros
1. Fragrance The fragrance is really, really nice. I felt a refreshing, forest-like herbal scent. It's a scent that doesn't polarize opinions and that everyone would likely enjoy! 2. Moisture The moisture was also good. It hydrated my skin well without feeling too heavy or sticky. It seems suitable for all skin types, whether oily, dry, or combination. 3. Absorption/Finish I was worried the highly concentrated essence wouldn't absorb well, but after applying it, it absorbed nicely within about 5 minutes without any stickiness. As someone who really dislikes a heavy, suffocating feeling on my skin, I was pleased that there was no such sensation even right after application. 4. Texture The texture is that of a typical essence. I liked that it didn't drip down when applied to the skin. 5. Brightening Since this is a whitening and wrinkle-improving functional cosmetic, I used it with high expectations. Though it may just be my imagination, after using it consistently for a week, my skin seemed to look brighter. Continuing to use it should yield good results. 6. Blemishes and Acne It was really amazing - after cleansing, toning, and then applying this at night, I woke up to find my closed comedones and acne had started to improve. This is the first time I've used a product with such an effective calming and clearing effect. 7. Packaging The packaging is so beautifully designed that it felt like receiving a gift. The sense of care and attention put into it made me happy.
Cons
1. Breakouts After using it for a week, everything was fine until the 6th day, when suddenly an allergic-like reaction flared up. I immediately washed it off with water and calmed my skin with toner. It seems there may be some irritating ingredients, so sensitive skin types should be cautious. But the effects were so good for the first 5 days that I'm considering trying it again. If my skin tolerates it well, I'll add this to my routine. 2. Applicator The applicator is different from typical ampoules, which made it a bit inconvenient. Plus, only about half the product comes out with each press, so you have to keep pressing it down, though the ability to control the amount is a benefit.

Pros
This is a review after trying the product for as close to 2 full weeks as possible. First of all, I really loved the scent. I would even want to have a perfume made with this same scent. It's not too heavy, but has a slightly sweet note at the end that I really enjoy. I felt a sense of healing every time I applied it to my face. Secondly, I liked that it didn't feel sticky and was calming. I had been struggling with my skin getting messed up from sunscreen not working well with my mask, and while this product didn't have a dramatic effect, I definitely felt an improvement when I used it at night after taking my mask off. And the texture of the product - rather than feeling sticky, it absorbs right away when applied, which I really liked. As you can see in the photo, when I dipped my finger in, the formula wasn't runny at all, but felt quite dense and concentrated. I really dislike stickiness and heavy oil residue, so this texture was great for me... I also thought it was nice that they used eco-friendly packaging materials. And while the product packaging is a bit inconvenient, I looked into it and found out it's made with a spring-less design that's recyclable, which is a great feature that I wish they had promoted more. So even though I'm using it, I feel good about that aspect. (Of course, this is just my personal positive perspective on the packaging, separate from the actual product performance.) The overall ingredients also don't seem bad... Overall, I'm satisfied and would repurchase this even after the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program.
Cons
For those with dry skin, this probably won't be enough to fully hydrate on its own. It's all good, but you'd need to layer a cream on top to lock in the moisture that gets absorbed. Fully charging the skin with just this product alone is difficult.

Pros
1. It absorbs incredibly well, so it doesn't feel sticky and the moisture replenishment is very fast, which helped me immediately address the tightness. 2. The inside is moisturized, and the outside is not too dry, just the right amount of freshness! However, since it is an essence, if I only apply this, over time there is a feeling of dryness and dullness, so I always make sure to apply a cream afterwards. 3. The scent is a subtle forest fragrance. It's not irritating or too strong, which I liked. 4. Even though I have sensitive skin that turns red with the slightest irritation, I didn't feel any irritation at all, and the small blemishes that were popping up on my chin due to wearing a mask have also significantly calmed down! I also felt a cooling sensation, which was very soothing.
Cons
I understand there must have been a reason for designing the dropper this way, but personally, I found it a bit inconvenient.
