This balancing emulsion offers excellent hydration and absorbs well into the skin. Its lightweight texture makes it perfect for layering under moisturizer, significantly boosting the skin's moisture levels. The product's pleasant scent and elegant packaging enhance the overall user experience. However, the higher price point may be a drawback for some, leading to more selective use during promotional periods.

The price is a bit high, so I only use it sparingly during sales.

This is a hydrating balancing emulsion!
It's a lightweight formula to use before applying cream, and it absorbs quickly into the skin without any stickiness.
The moisturizing effect is much better than using cream alone, so it's become an essential part of my skincare routine.
The scent is refreshing, and the packaging is luxurious, making me feel good every time I use it.

자음유액

As someone with sensitive skin, it's disappointing to see that it contains five potential allergens.

It absorbs well and leaves my skin feeling hydrated.
Even with my oily skin, it's suitable for use all year round.

The product's hydrating properties are impressive, but it may not suit all skin types, especially those with combination or oily skin. It's important to consider your skin's needs when choosing a moisturizer.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it too rich for my face. I couldn't finish the product and ended up using it on my hands instead. Considering the price, it wasn't a great value for me.

It's certainly worth the price for its hydrating power. The moisturizer feels wonderfully dewy and absorbs well into the skin.

It doesn't have any standout features that meet my expectations. I guess being unremarkable is its main advantage.

It's pretty decent. The formula is gentle and the scent isn't as strong as I expected, so it should suit most skin types well.

It might feel a bit greasy for those with oily skin at first, but after a while, it settles into a lovely, smooth finish. I really like it!

It absorbs beautifully and sinks into the skin so well. I think it would be great for both oily and dry skin types!

It's a bit disappointing that it's quite expensive for the amount you get, and it feels a bit light on the skin

I absolutely love how it keeps my skin hydrated and moisturized for such a long time

Personally, I find the strong fragrance a bit awkward every time I apply it. I don't think it delivers enough value for its price point in terms of functionality. But then again, that's not why people choose Sulwhasoo...

Thanks to my mother who's been using it since its department store days, I'm quite familiar with Sulwhasoo's Jaum line. It's more versatile than the Jaum Activator line. For an emulsion, it has a rich feel that's great for dry seasons. Where it really shines is as a gift for older folks - they're always delighted by the beautiful gift box packaging and the abundance of samples that come with it. If you discreetly ask and find they don't have a set skincare routine, I'd recommend this or the Jaum Activator line as a gift option.

I apply the Dr.G moisturizer before using this product

While it absorbs quickly, which is nice, I feel like it might be causing some deep dryness

It's great how moisturizing this product is and how quickly it absorbs into the skin

The quantity is a bit small for the price point. The glass container, while luxurious, requires careful handling and is quite heavy. However, it's worth noting that you can earn beauty points by returning the empty container at department stores.

The absorbs beautifully, gliding on smoothly without any sticky feeling. It sinks in effortlessly. My skin was struggling with dryness, itchiness, and redness during the seasonal change, but regularly applying this emulsion has helped significantly. I've been able to layer it and gradually return to my usual skincare routine. The fragrance isn't irritating, and the pump packaging makes it convenient to use.

Not recommended for blemish-prone skin as it might be a bit oily.

It absorbs well and applies smoothly. It's not too greasy, and the scent is lovely.

Even though I have dry skin, it feels a bit too rich for me in the summer!

As soon as the chilly winds start blowing, I immediately reach for this product. It's excellent at combating deep dryness and keeps my skin so hydrated that my makeup applies beautifully!
