It has a twist-lock mechanism to prevent leaks! Texture: True to its name 'Essence in Emulsion', the texture is a perfect blend of essence and emulsion. It applies smoothly and absorbs quickly. They call it 'matte but moisturized', but to me it feels like it tightens the skin while keeping it hydrated underneath. My skin feels firmer! Benefits: It's said to be effective for brightening and improving wrinkles. Scent: It's fragrance-free, which I absolutely love!
ConsReview: While it's recommended for combination dehydrated skin, as someone with very dry skin, I need to layer a cream on top. However, it applies smoothly and helps with deep dryness, so I find myself reaching for it often!
TipThe locking cap helps keep air out!

After using it for over two weeks, I really felt this product was perfect for summer. Despite my skin type not typically absorbing emulsions or oils well, this absorbed quite nicely. I was also reassured by its gentle ingredients. Plus, after researching online, I found out they don't do animal testing, which made the product even more appealing to me.
ConsWhen it touched sensitive areas of my skin, I felt a slight burning sensation.
TipWhile it's a really great product for summer, it might feel too light for winter. I'd recommend using this emulsion in seasons other than winter.

However, it's surprisingly light and fresh, with minimal oiliness. I love how it applies smoothly and absorbs quickly. The lightweight formula is really appealing. Feel: Initially, it feels very hydrating, and it absorbs rapidly. It leaves my skin feeling deeply moisturized yet matte. I'm a fan of this texture, so I'll likely continue using it. Blemishes: I haven't experienced any breakouts since I started using this. Given that my skin tends to react with blemishes to incompatible products, I'm satisfied just by the fact that it hasn't caused any issues. Quantity: It's larger than I expected. Looks like it'll last for quite a while.
ConsWhile I didn't notice it myself, those with dry skin might experience some deep dryness if using this product alone. Since it's a lightweight product, it might be best used in combination with other skincare items. Considering its rather ordinary performance, the price point seems a bit high.
TipWhile it doesn't produce any dramatically visible effects, it feels like it provides hydration with a fresh formula. It's a solid, easy-to-use product. I think it'll be particularly good for use during the summer months.

As someone who usually prefers gel-cream moisturizers, I liked that it wasn't too thick. It applies very smoothly and feels hydrating! ✔️Absorption & Moisturizing Due to its light consistency, it absorbs quickly! Perhaps because of this, I didn't feel it was intensely moisturizing, but rather suitable for a fresh summer moisturizer! For those with dry skin like me, you'll need to layer a moisturizer on top to maintain that hydrated feeling! ✔️Recommended Skin Types I'd recommend this for mild dry skin or combination dehydrated skin types! Using it as toner+emulsion or essence+emulsion should provide sufficient hydration! For those with very dry skin even in summer, add an extra layer of moisturizer on top! (+ The ingredients are gentle, so those with super sensitive skin can use it with peace of mind!) ✔️Price & Quantity I found it quite pricey - nearly $40 for 150ml. However, given the gentle ingredients, if it works well for your skin with consistent use, I would consider repurchasing.
ConsWhen I first used it, my skin felt a bit tingly. Especially around the philtrum area, it was slightly uncomfortable. Apparently, this can happen when first using natural cosmetics...! I think my skin felt this way because it was too dry! It got better as I continued using it!
TipSince my skin tends to get hot, I keep it in the refrigerator before use. When it touches my skin, it feels incredibly cool and calming, which makes the application experience even better.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsHere's my review as one of The Hwahae Testers: The absorbs well is excellent - it absorbs quickly with low oil content but high hydration, leaving your skin feeling very moisturized right after application. As someone with dry skin, I did experience some slight tightness after a while. The texture and scent are great - it has a nice emulsion-like consistency that's easy to apply. As someone with atopic dermatitis, I usually use fragrance-free products, so I appreciated that this one has almost no scent. Regarding repurchase - Unfortunately, I had to stop using this product after 3 days as it worsened my atopic dermatitis. I gave it to my mom, who loves it. She says the absorbs well and scent are fantastic.
ConsAs mentioned above, there might be an ingredient that doesn't agree with me, as my atopic dermatitis worsened after application. I started using it with high hopes, so it's quite disappointing.
TipAs time passed after application, I felt some tightness, so I layered my usual cream on top. This made my skin feel much more moisturized and supple. (Those with oily skin might find this product sufficient on its own, but as I have extremely dry skin, I layered cream even in summer.)

There's absolutely no irritation, so I don't feel any discomfort using it. Since I started using this product, I've stopped using toner. It feels like a combination of toner, essence, and emulsion all in one. It's incredibly hydrating and absorbs well into the skin. The moisturizing effect lasts long - I don't feel dry even until evening. When applied at night, my skin stays hydrated until morning. It's not sticky and feels light, so I think it would suit all skin types. It's 150ml for 39,000 won. The pump-type container is hygienic and the bottle is lightweight. January 24, 2021 update: I'm still using it well in winter. I use a cream on top for an extra protective layer.
ConsI used this during summer and it was great, but since it's quite light, I'm not sure about its moisturizing power in winter. I'll need to keep using it to find out. I wish the price was a bit more affordable.
TipI used this Dr. Alga Taecho Alobru Essence-in-Emulsion along with my regular emulsion. Even without using toner and moisturizer, just applying these two emulsions was enough for my skin.

I've tried quite a few different products, but this one really worked well for me! That's why I bought another one during the sale (oh no, the sale might be over now...). First off, I love that it's an emulsion, so it absorbs well. The texture is also very watery! I've been using this routine: exfoliating toner → Olga emulsion → collagen balm → sunscreen I'm happy that my skin stays hydrated until evening, and my face has such a nice glow! I've only been using it for 7 days, so I'm not sure yet, but I think if I keep using it, my skin will improve! I'll come back to update my review after about a month if I see more improvements!
ConsWhen used alone, it can be a bit drying, so I applied something else after this (I used it with a collagen balm ampoule). When I first applied it, my face had a slight burning sensation (this always happens to me when I change my skincare routine! Now it only happens when my skin condition isn't good).
TipI recommend applying it 2-3 times or using it with another product if you find it drying when used alone!

I have combination skin that leans more towards oily, but my skin tends to get dry at night. ○ Texture & Application: It feels like a perfect middle ground between an essence and an emulsion! While it's thicker than a typical emulsion, it doesn't completely run. The product applies thinly and absorbs quickly. It's neither heavy nor sticky, providing a fresh application. ○ Ingredients: As mentioned in the product description, I appreciated that it contains good ingredients, allowing for worry-free use without concerns about blemishes. I sometimes experience breakouts when changing skincare products, but I was pleased that this didn't cause any issues. ○ Scent: The fragrance-free formula adds to its gentle feel. Except for a few scents, I generally don't prefer fragranced products, so I really enjoyed the clean, unscented nature of this one. ○ Packaging Design & Quantity: This is probably one of the first pump-type products I've used, and it's quite convenient! Occasionally it dispenses too much if pressed hard, but generally, I like that it pumps out small amounts. The size is perfect for carrying in a bag or for travel. There's more product than I expected, and the packaging design is simple and pretty, which I'm quite satisfied with. ○ Moisturizing Power: In the morning or during the day, this product alone was sufficient for my skincare routine! However, on drier days, I applied an additional moisturizer at night to supplement both oil and hydration.
ConsWhile there aren't many downsides, I found that on particularly dry days or when my skin needed soothing, this product alone wasn't quite enough for complete care. Also, while it's sufficient for everyday moisturizing, I was a bit disappointed that it's not a functional cosmetic product.
TipFor those who want more hydration or need more oil, I'd recommend applying this lightly first to provide deep hydration, then following up with additional products as needed.

My skin type is combination, with very active sebum production in areas like the nose, cheeks, and between the eyebrows. Before using this product, I had been using only sebum-specific moisturizers and a centella asiatica ampoule for pore and sebum management, but the sebum production remained high. With this product, I just applied it alone. It absorbs well without much irritation, feeling gentle on the skin. The slightly runny texture and generous amount make it great for layering multiple times. Surprisingly, I noticed less sebum production! Usually, my sebum is quite assertive, making its presence known as soon as I wake up if I don't remove it. While it still produces, it seems to do so more slowly now. I'm also prone to blemishes, but I didn't experience any with this product. I think it's because it's made with naturally derived ingredients. It claims to strengthen the skin barrier, but I've used it for too short a time to confirm that effect. I plan to use up the entire bottle consistently. It feels light and refreshing to apply. It's perfect for summer skincare. I think the price is reasonable too, considering the generous amount! It might be good to use the toner from the same line as well! I recommend this for oily and combination skin types!
ConsThere's not much to complain about! I might need to use it a bit longer to know more.

I opened the product with an excited heart and used it diligently. The good points are the excellent ingredients, and it's great for those who are lazy about skincare routines since it combines essence and emulsion in one step. When applied, it feels moisturizing and absorbs well without any stickiness. It doesn't immediately make your skin feel dry, but rather leaves a slightly moist feeling that seems to sink in gradually. It's really good for hydration. I even had my teenage son try it, and it seems to be helping with his blemishes. Although I've only used it for a week, I plan to continue using it consistently.
ConsThe downside is that it doesn't instantly make your skin feel dry upon application, so those who dislike any sticky feeling might be a bit wary. As I'm in my 40s, I don't mind a slight richness as I think it helps with moisture retention, but for others...
TipIf you want to add more hydration, try mixing in a couple drops of oil before bedtime. It should give you a full charge of moisture overnight. Of course, this may vary depending on your skin type.
