Don't use it with cotton pads or rounds, make sure to apply it with clean hands and let it absorb completely! This is really important...
There's a big difference between applying it with cotton pads and using your hands... And after it's fully absorbed, applying a second layer works even better!

The price is too high... All of Tamburins' skincare lines are so expensive...

1. Design 
The bottle is incredibly beautiful... unnecessarily luxurious... almost too pretty to throw away.

2. Toner-like texture
Despite being called an essence, it's not sticky but rather fluid. 
I personally prefer thinner formulas as I find sticky ones absorb more slowly.

3. Improvement
My skin feels incredibly hydrated the next day... I'm on my third bottle.
The difference in skin hydration between using and not using it is noticeable, so I'm using it consistently!

워터 에센스

It's better to apply this right after cleansing, before your skin completely dries

The only downside is that I wish the product came in a larger size

My daughter tried it and is satisfied, saying it seems to be gradually improving her skin

The bottle is quite heavy and opaque, so you can't see how much product is left.

It's moisturizing and absorbs well. The scent wasn't bothersome either.

I've found it works best when you pat it on while your skin is still damp after cleansing.

The price feels a bit steep compared to its performance... Also, it doesn't seem to absorb completely. Instead, it feels more like it's forming a protective layer on the skin.

It's great to apply this right after washing your face - it instantly boosts hydration, leaving your skin feeling wonderfully moisturized! Plus, the packaging is absolutely gorgeous. It looks so lovely sitting next to my perfume bottles, it just makes me happy!

When used with the pat-in method and lots of tapping, it does provide a nice boost of hydration.

To be honest, I was disappointed by the lack of standout benefits. It's just... average. Especially considering its high price point.

I always write reviews after using up an entire product! My skin type: Very dry/prone to blemishes and acne if I don't exfoliate properly/extreme tingling and burning sensation if I use incompatible skincare. I used this Water Essence Toner from February 16, 2021 to August 12, 2021.

I tried Tamburins after it was recommended for dry skin. I used the toner, serum, and cream from the same line together. My routine: Cleansing - exfoliating toner - Water Essence (pat-in method) - serum from the same line - cream from the same line. Texture: Viscous liquid (not suitable for use with cotton pads).

True to its name, it was closer to an essence than a toner. It provided good hydration and was gentle on the skin.

The heavy bottle weight, a design that doesn't allow you to check the remaining product, and the expensive price tag.

I often use this when I'm feeling lazy because it keeps my face hydrated and not tight, even when I don't apply anything else. The bottle design is so pretty it could even be used as a decorative piece.

The container is heavy and opaque, so it's hard to gauge how much product is left... And considering the volume, it's a bit on the pricey side, which is disappointing.

I bought it because the packaging was pretty, but it was so good I ended up using three bottles! It's really gentle and hydrating, perfect for my super sensitive skin.

Rather than using it with a cotton pad, I think patting it directly onto your face for absorption would be even better, especially during the winter months!

Hmm, the opaque bottle makes it difficult to gauge how much product is left. The bottle is also quite heavy, so it's hard to tell how much remains by weight.

I love how it applies with a slightly firm texture, yet absorbs into the skin with a wonderfully hydrating feel. Unlike typical toners that seem to evaporate quickly, I really appreciate the formulation of this product. My skin tends to redden easily when products don't agree with it, but after consistent use, this seems to work well without any irritation. The almost fragrance-free aspect is also a plus!

The amount seems quite small, and since you can't see how much is left, it's hard to use generously.

It's wonderfully hydrating with a slight richness that doesn't feel heavy on the skin. I really like it!

As others have mentioned, the opaque container makes it impossible to gauge how much product is left. But its beauty makes up for that flaw!

It has a slightly viscous texture, but absorbs well and spreads easily. The weighty bottle design is absolutely gorgeous, and it provides excellent hydration.

The moisturizing power seems fine, but it didn't suit my skin, so I applied it to my body..... I got hives.... I have steel skin, so I can use anything and it all fits well.... At first, I thought it was just because it was hot, but the other day I applied it again and got hives, so I went to the dermatologist and got medication.ㅜㅜ There seems to be some incompatible ingredient. Even if you have steel skin, please test it and apply it to your body!

On the first day, the spreadability was really good!
But the next day, there were pimples on my face...sigh
The spreadability is fluffy and good.
