Pros
The formula is watery and flows like water. That's why it was easy to layer multiple times.
Cons
It stung a little. Those with sensitivity to fermented ingredients should avoid it.

Pros
The design has a high-quality feel and is well-absorbed. It was not too heavy to use in the summer.
Cons
After using it, there is a slight oily feeling, and something seems to come up one by one. And when applied to the wounded area, it stings a little.

Pros
Although it stings a bit right after application, the acne gradually subsides, the dryness and tightness in the affected areas have lessened, and the oiliness has reduced noticeably. I could see my skin improving just after 7 days of use.
Cons
It stings a bit. There seems to be some irritation, as my face turns very red after applying it.

Pros
The water-type essence provides effective exfoliation and helps control excessive dryness.
Cons
It's generally fine, but when my skin is damaged or sensitive (after visiting a dermatologist), it stung when I applied it. The glass container is delicate and heavy, and the high price may also be due to the packaging.

Pros
The water-based toner formula is easily absorbed and provides a refreshing, non-drying feel.
Cons
When I applied it during a skin flare-up, the irritated areas felt stinging and my existing blemishes became more inflamed, so I had to stop using it.

Pros
I've already used it twice and it's been great for my sensitive skin - no irritation at all. I haven't had any breakouts or troubles since using this product. The price is not the cheapest, but the amount is good so it's worth it. It worked well as a cleansing oil, but I found it worked best as a makeup remover.
Cons
My face is fine, but it leaves a bit of a slippery feeling on my hands. It's not an overly thick product, but I think it works best in the fall and winter. When I apply it to my acne-prone areas, there's a slight stinging sensation.
Tip
At night, I layer it on twice to really let it soak into my skin, and then I apply a moisturizer on top. It works great as a sleeping pack too.

Pros
❣️This is a review of a product that I've almost finished using!❣️ ☺️Skin type Sensitive+Combination (oily T-zone + dry cheeks)+Redness+Forehead and chin small acne+Enlarged pores on the cheeks => Not extremely bad-looking skin, but definitely not the kind of good skin that anyone would notice. ✔️Light texture and fast absorption ➖The formula is like pure water, so the finish is light and it absorbs quickly! ➖Personally, I prefer to do multiple rounds of patting, and this formula was perfect for that. I do at least 3 or more rounds of patting, and it gets absorbed into the skin without any sticky or greasy feeling. ✔No irritation on the face ➖Even when I used a toner known for being gentle, I would often feel a stinging sensation depending on my skin condition. But with this product, my face has never felt stinging at all! Especially when I used a toner with exfoliating ingredients, the stinging would be more pronounced, but the Primera essence also contains exfoliating ingredients, yet there was no irritation. ➖I often do multiple rounds of patting to address dryness, but I've never experienced any breakouts due to the formula being too rich or the ingredients being too strong. I've also never had any issues with redness or eczema.
Cons
✔️No irritation ➖There was no irritation on the facial skin, but if it got into my eyes, it stung terribly. It stung every time, almost until I finished the entire bottle, and this is the reason I'm hesitant to repurchase. ➖It's likely due to the alcohol content, so those who are sensitive to alcohol may want to consider this. ✔️Ambiguous performance for the price ➖There were no particularly noticeable effects in terms of soothing, clarifying, or hydrating. It just feels like a generally decent toner to use. It lacks any distinctive features! ➖The fact that it's non-irritating for sensitive skin can be considered a big advantage, but it's not significantly better than other toners when compared. Especially considering the price, it's cheaper than the Ogallenic Watery Essence, but there are probably many other non-irritating, non-functional toners out there. (But then again, the lack of irritation could also be a downside compared to other toners.)
Tip
For those with very sensitive skin, do not use this for cleansing ❌ I strongly recommend using this for patting application, and when doing a face mask, be sure to choose a soft and non-irritating pad or cotton.

Pros
I only applied this in the morning and in the evening, I applied this and then added a little lotion or moisturizer. I have oily and dehydrated skin, but even when I only applied this in the morning, I didn't feel any tightness or peeling. There was a slight stinging sensation, but no breakouts or anything, so I just used it. The moisture is good. It feels more like a toner than an essence. For dry skin, this alone may not be enough. The fragrance is almost non-existent, so it should be fine for those sensitive to fragrance.
Cons
The bottle was a bit inconvenient for me. While the glass bottle can be used refreshingly, the opening was a bit inconvenient. The ad claims it rapidly soothes fatigued and reddened skin in 15 seconds, but for me, even though my redness isn't too severe, my face doesn't seem to calm down that quickly after cleansing. Instead, it feels a bit stinging and gets even redder. However, the redness does subside over time.
Tip
Even though it's an essence, the instructions say to apply it by soaking a cotton pad and wiping it off. Since I tend to have redness, I've heard that cotton pads aren't good for redness, so I just applied it directly. I scooped it into my palm and applied it, and it all got absorbed into my palms. I'm considering putting it in a spray bottle to use it as a mist. I think using it like a pack by soaking a cotton pad is better than the 7-skin method. For oily skin, I'd recommend using it more at night rather than during the day. For me, just applying it lightly during the day worked better. Primera's peeling gel is still the best, though 👍

Pros
Skin Type: Oily + Redness and acne scars/marks, making my cheeks overall quite reddish!! When I first received the package and checked the packaging, I was really excited because it said it helps soothe and reduce redness. I've been using a lot of products with ingredients like mugwort and houttuynia cordata to help calm and reduce breakouts. ✔️ Packaging and Design: It's a glass product, but it wasn't as heavy or bulky as I expected, and the design is clean and nice~ ✔️ Texture and Fragrance: It's a watery toner that absorbs quickly, and the fragrance is faint and disappears quickly after application! ✔️ Application and Feel: Since my skin is oily, I don't like products that feel heavy or greasy, but this applied lightly and felt great. After using it for a few days, I noticed my skin texture became smoother!! I never felt dryness after using it.
Cons
✔️ Even after using my existing pad and peeling products to exfoliate, and then layering this product as a soothing pack, I felt the soothing effect wasn't as strong as I had hoped ㅠㅠ ✔️ Since my eyes are sensitive, when I applied it on my palms and then to my face, it stung my eyes a bit ㅠㅠ
