It's very oily and prone to dryness, but with just one application of this cream, I can go for two days without washing my face and still stay hydrated. And since it's in a liquid form, it's easy to apply! I don't recommend using cotton pads though.
ConsThe disappointing part is that I didn't see much of a calming effect. Rather than a calming effect, it was gentle enough that small pimples didn't spread, and while there wasn't a major effect, it did help small pimples gradually disappear.
TipIf you apply it while your skin is still damp, it works even better, and even after your skin dries, it still keeps it moisturized.

After using it morning and evening for about a week, the dryness and tightness were almost gone. The hyaluronic acid ingredient seems to deliver moisture well. However, if you have an aversion to the slightly sticky feeling, it may be difficult to use. It doesn't feel sticky once absorbed into the face, but the initial viscosity may be divisive. As someone with acne-prone skin, I'm a bit particular about the skincare products I use. This product contains centella extract and cica ingredients, but it doesn't seem to control oil very well. Especially in the oily areas, I still tend to get breakouts. I think the centella extract just doesn't agree with my skin, causing those symptoms. Also, while it's labeled as a dual-function whitening and anti-aging product, I can't say the effects are outstanding. There are other better products out there for those purposes.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing to see blemishes gradually coming back. If not for that, this toner would have been perfect, especially for the transitional fall season.
TipI'd recommend using this as a wipe-off toner rather than just applying it with your hands. The slight glow it gives is quite pretty when used as a base before makeup.

The ingredients are so good that there is no irritation at all, and it is so mild that it is very comfortable to apply. As it is an essence type, it applies smoothly and absorbs quickly, which also helps with dryness to some extent. After cleansing, just applying this alone gives a satisfying feeling, much more than other toners. The fragrance is not too strong and is subtle, so I think it's a product that anyone can use comfortably! The ingredients, application, moisturizing, and fragrance are all satisfactory.
ConsThe only downside is that the price seems a bit high compared to the volume.
TipEven if you apply this product multiple times, it does not become oily or sticky without additional serum or cream. Since the ingredients are so good, I think it would also be great as a pack.

Although it's not a watery formula, but rather a viscous essence toner, it didn't feel sticky at all. In fact, it felt like my skin absorbed more moisture compared to a water-based formula, which was perfect for my dehydrated skin.
ConsThe brand was slightly unfamiliar to me, so it was a bit of a shame that I hadn't tried it before (good things should be discovered sooner!)
TipAfter cleansing, you can soak a thin cotton pad with the toner and use it as a toner pack. This will help maximize the moisturizing and skin-soothing benefits.

It seemed to help with the inner dryness, and I could apply sunscreen directly on top without it pilling. The fragrance is very faint and unobtrusive. Even though it's the transitional season and my skin is starting to get dry, my face has not experienced any dryness at all - only my hands feel dry. Despite just using the essence, my skin feels remarkably hydrated.
ConsI have acne-prone skin, but there wasn't any noticeable calming effect. The photo you see is from October 6th, where I'm wearing a light green pajama set. It's difficult to see significant results in just 2 weeks, so I'll need to use it more consistently. But for now, there hasn't been any visible short-term effect. I'll revisit this in a couple months and make adjustments then. Other than that, there's nothing lacking in terms of the texture or hydration.
TipSince it has a runny, watery essence texture, it's better to apply it by gently patting and layering it on, rather than wiping it on, to better address the inner dryness.

It seems suitable for this transitional season or dry weather. ◽ Usage: Although I was worried that it might cause pimples due to my sensitive skin, there were no such issues. It effectively addressed dryness without feeling sticky. ◽ Fragrance: It seems fragrance-free, but there is a very subtle 🌿 scent.
Cons◽ Price: 35,000 won for 200ml seems high in terms of value for money. ◽ Packaging: The narrow opening of the cap dispenses the product in small amounts, which could be frustrating for impatient users.

As a combination skin type, I was worried it might be too oily, but it's perfect for my skin during this transitional season. I didn't experience any irritation as soon as I started using it, and it's incredibly gentle. It's fragrance-free, and I can feel it absorbing into my skin immediately after application. I applied it with two light pats, and it seems to have taken care of any dryness. The ingredients are also good, and since my skin is on the sensitive side, I'm glad it didn't cause any irritation and had a soothing effect. I think this essence toner would be great to use in spring, fall, and winter. In summary, it works really well for sensitive or combination-oily skin types. I think I'll stick with this essence toner this fall and winter.
ConsThere's really nothing disappointing about it. I'm 99% satisfied!
TipOn sensitive days, I'd recommend using it as a soothing pack, and on regular days, 2-3 layers should work well.
