As I entered my 40s, my skin transitioned from oily to combination dehydrated. With wrinkles starting to appear, I decided to splurge on this product. I appreciated its lighter texture compared to creams, making it comfortable for daily use. It felt sufficient on its own, without needing additional products. After using it throughout the winter, I found it effectively prevented excessive dryness, proving its worth despite the high price tag.
Cons
I didn't experience any blemishes or particular discomfort. The only drawback is always the price, which can be a bit steep.
Tip
It's best to purchase this when the official ISOI store offers high-value discount coupons.

True to its name as a 'cream' essence, the texture feels more like an emulsion or a slightly thinner cream rather than a typical essence. It's definitely an upgraded version compared to the Intensive line in terms of absorption, hydration, and how it applies to the skin. Even those who didn't like the Intensive line (myself included) might find the Never Drying line worth trying. While it has a rich feel, it absorbs well into the skin. Even when applied generously, it doesn't leave any residue. If you use a generous amount, you can combat deep dryness even in the harsh winter months without needing an additional cream. If you're struggling with dehydrated skin, I'd recommend the essence from the Never Drying line.
Cons
The scent is quite strong, almost identical to the Intensive line. For those with oily skin, it might be too much if you don't control the amount. I'm not sure if it's necessary to use both this and the Never Drying cream together. The price point might make you question whether it's worth choosing over other options.

Sensitive skin can be irritated when applying sunscreen-containing products and sleeping with them on until nighttime.
Cons
The essence contains sunscreen ingredients. I applied it at night as well, but my skin felt tired from wearing sunscreen all day long. I didn't realize the essence would contain sunscreen. After washing it off in the evenings and applying the essence for two days, the area around my mouth became red and stinging, so I checked the ingredients and found sunscreen, which made me regret spending a lot of money on it. Please purchase products carefully.

The longevity is quite good. It's thicker than a cream and has good spreadability. Even if you apply it before bed, it feels moisturized until morning.
Cons
It's way too expensive..ㅠ I'm not sure if it's actually absorbed or not, but it stays moisturized until morning.
Tip
It's good to buy when the Aesop app offers a 30% or 40% coupon!

The moisture level is just right and the effects are definite.
Cons
The absorption is slow and the price is expensive. I'm on my third bottle, but I can't even consider buying it without a discount coupon.

Average. There wasn't really anything bad about it. The texture and the case were to my liking.
Cons
There wasn't really anything good about it either. I have no idea how it differs from other products, yet the price is several times higher. I wonder if they say it will get better in about 10 years.

Just applying the skin and this alone makes my skin feel moisturized all day long. I used to only apply lotion, but after using this, I don't really apply anything else anymore. It does feel a bit heavy now that it's gotten hotter, but there are no major issues and I like it. I was worried about the loss of elasticity, but my face feels refreshed. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth buying when there are coupons. The amount lasts longer than expected, which is a relief. I think I'll just keep using this. I have no complaints at all, the ingredients are good, and I'm satisfied.^^
Cons
The rose scent is quite strong when you first apply it, but it fades away after a while, which is fine. I think it's better that it feels more natural. It's a bit heavy, but since I have dry skin, I can just ignore that aspect.

When it's winter, I mix it half and half with oil^^ It's become much more moisturizing and the wrinkles have improved a lot~ Especially, I like that there's no stickiness^^
Cons
The price is quite evil.. This is the most expensive line among the Isoi products.
Tip
It's better in winter than summer

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I have to say that my acne scars have been filled in quite a lot without lying. I'm using it for the third time now because it's so amazing. It's gotten so much better that people can tell, so I keep repurchasing it.
Cons
It's oily, expensive, and absorbs slowly, but the effects are good, so I don't have any major complaints.

The ingredients are good, non-irritating, and not sticky. When I apply it with oil and check in the morning, my pore appearance has improved a bit. It seems to be a proper anti-aging cosmetic product. It also feels like it's worth the high price (this is just my subjective opinion, so please take it as a reference). And the amount is more than expected. Since it's a concentrated formula, I only need to pump it once and mix it with oil to cover my entire face.
Cons
It doesn't absorb well. After applying this and then a cream on top and sleeping, the product was still clumped on my face the next day. I thought it was because I added the cream, so I just applied this product and kept massaging it in before sleeping, but the next day it still hadn't absorbed and had dust particles stuck to the clumped areas. When I mix it with oil, it absorbs without clumping. And the price! They say they increased the content of good Bulgarian rose extract and oils, but the price is around 250,000 won, haha.
Tip
After using it for a few years, I found that if I apply this right after my 7-skin routine when my skin is really hydrated, it makes my skin glow 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
