When I first applied it to my skin, the texture felt a bit heavy, so I thought it might be a bit oily. But when I applied it, it spread on smoothly and absorbed nicely, leaving a slightly powdery finish. It didn't feel dry at all. So I found this to be an excellent summer essence for my sensitive skin! The floral scent is also very pleasant and comfortable.
ConsThe pump-style dropper didn't work well to dispense the product, so I ended up having to use the regular dropper that came with it instead. I don't like the regular dropper because the rubber handle tends to attract dust, so I was hoping the pump would be better. It was a bit disappointing.

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
ConsSince it's a glass bottle, there's a sense of anxiety that it might shatter if dropped... Let's all be careful!!
TipThere 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

The fragrance is naturally refreshing. It absorbs well into my dry skin and effectively manages the dryness. It has a slightly sticky, runny essence-like texture.
ConsThe dropper is really, really, really inconvenient. ㅠㅠ About 5 days after using it, I started getting large pimples. ㅠ The downside is that the essence was too strong in many ways.

I did a 3-step skincare routine with toner, essence, and moisturizer, and I was surprised that even just using the essence reduced dryness a lot. After 3 days of use, I could feel a difference in my skin texture. 💙Packaging The packaging looks high-end, both when I first received it and the product itself. Just looking at the bottle, it reminds me of a foreign brand perfume.
Cons💙Dropper Despite the luxurious appearance, the essence comes out in very small amounts, and it was a bit difficult to use when my hands were wet or after applying lotion, as the surface was quite slippery.

A mood-boosting package haha It was gentle without any trouble!! Just applying one layer gives quite good moisturization, and a light cream is enough, it lasts a long time with good moisturizing power
ConsTo be honest, apart from the moisture, I couldn't really feel a big calming effect hahaha It's both an advantage and a disadvantage that it's so gentle. But it seems like an unappealing product that's appealing in its own way..⭐️ And the dropper comes out really annoyingly At first, I thought it was a defective product But after seeing other reviews, it seems that's just how it is haha It would be better if they changed the packaging a bit! (but it's cute as is haha)
TipUse a light cream on top of this It has good moisturizing power, so it finishes with a subtle oily feel haha

Occasionally, I get small pimples, so when I choose products, I'm most concerned about moisturizing. 🧡The viscosity between ampoules and essences! It's lighter than an ampoule but a bit heavier than an essence, which was just right for my taste! The moisture also lasted longer than expected, and I didn't feel much oiliness. I only applied this in the morning and forgot to put on cream until the evening, but my skin didn't feel tight. It seems like a great product for the transitional season, but it might not be enough moisture for the winter. 🧡The packaging is so pretty, it would make a great gift! When I first received it, I was so surprised - the packaging is so beautiful! The pamphlet that comes with it is also very nice, and I want to put it on my desk. Packaging this with other products like hand wash would make a wonderful gift.
Cons😢The dropper's inefficiency..? The dropper doesn't seem to dispense the product properly... It was a bit inconvenient! 😥The scent is a bit strong I generally prefer unscented products, so when I first smelled the product, I was surprised by how strong the scent was. But when I actually applied it to my skin, the scent didn't come through as strongly. And my mom, who likes fragrant products, said it was fine! 😢I hope the formula can be improved! With so many cosmetics these days focusing on ingredients, I wish they would pay a bit more attention to that as well.

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.ProsSince I have dry skin, I've been looking for and using products that are moisturizing and supple, without becoming dry over time. This product is highly concentrated, yet it doesn't feel watery and is fully absorbed into the skin. I feel like my skin becomes plump and bouncy right after application, similar to a dry sponge that has absorbed water. Even in the morning before work and in the evening after work, the plumpness and moisture are maintained without much loss. I love it! Despite being highly concentrated, there's no heavy feeling, and the birch scent is calming and healing, like the relaxing aroma at a massage parlor. It's not too strong or too weak - just a subtle, pleasant fragrance.
ConsThe dropper usage is more cumbersome than expected. It's a button-type dispenser, not the typical rubber type, and I keep getting confused. Also, it takes some time for the product to come out of the dropper.
TipYou can apply this on top of sheet masks or soak a cotton pad with it and place it on your T-zone or cheeks to intensely replenish the moisture in those areas!

The pleasant fragrance makes the patting time enjoyable. •Moisturizing In the summer, this alone is enough to complete the skincare routine as it is very moisturizing. It felt great to use on my combination skin as it was moisturizing without feeling greasy. I have both dry and oily skin at home, and I was satisfied using this on both skin types. The generous volume allows me to use the essence generously. The transparent packaging allows me to use it until the end. As it does not contain irritating ingredients, it worked well even for my sensitive skin.
ConsThe dropper is quite long, but only about 1/3 of the product comes up when pumping. It's a bit disappointing that I have to pump several times to cover my entire face.
TipAfter cleansing, finish by applying the essence generously and using a hydrating sheet mask

When applied to the face and gently patted, it absorbs quickly. I don't really like the sticky feeling left on the skin, but after waiting a bit, it seems to absorb well into the skin, which I liked. The scent is a subtle woody and herbal fragrance. When I use it after showering at night, it lifts my mood and is quite soothing. During use, I didn't experience any skin troubles or breakouts, and in the morning, my skin felt nourished and improved. (+ As this is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review, I'm not sure if that's why, but the packaging was very pretty. The box was sealed not with regular tape, but with paper tape, and there was a dissolvable starch-based cushioning material used to prevent the box from shifting, which made me feel the company is very environmentally conscious.)
ConsAt first, even after reading the instructions, when I pressed the dropper, the essence didn't seem to come up as smoothly as I expected, so I was a bit unsure if I was using it correctly. But there wasn't any major inconvenience in using it.

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.
ConsAt 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.
TipThe 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.
