The silky smooth application is incredibly satisfying, and it's great at combating deep dryness too.
ConsI'm using it well so far, but I don't have much else to say to reach the 20-character minimum.

ConsThe scent is slightly disappointing, but it dissipates quickly Only noticeable for a moment when applying, no discomfort afterwards It's on the pricier side
TipAfter cleansing, pump twice and apply to face Gently pat to absorb

After using it for two weeks, I had no blemishes, and my face felt hydrated when I woke up in the morning! Even in summer, I just applied this after my skincare routine and before sunscreen, then went straight to makeup. It didn't cause any pilling and kept my skin so moisturized - I love it! I'll definitely repurchase.
ConsOh my! I'm so satisfied so far that I have no complaints!
TipI didn't apply any other moisturizer after my skincare routine. If you have dry skin, try applying this before bed - after two weeks, you'll definitely notice how much more hydrated your skin feels!

My skin is not only dehydrated deep down, but also extremely dry on the surface, causing it to flake even in summer. Most products just don't cut it for me, leaving my skin feeling parched. But this product? It's a game-changer! While it might not absorb lightning-fast, it's still pretty good for a hydrating product. When I apply this before makeup, the Inner Glow is phenomenal... You can enjoy radiant, dewy skin all day long!
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that absorption isn't super quick. I have to apply it about 3 minutes before makeup, really work it into my skin, and then start my makeup routine, which can be a bit inconvenient. Also, the scent isn't really my style. But other than that, I'm extremely satisfied!

I have normal skin and I'm not particularly sensitive. ❤Hydration Normally, I apply products in the order of toner>ampoule>cream, but since this product felt a bit rich, I only used toner>First Essence for these 2 weeks! Perhaps because it's an emulsion with essence, it prevented moisture loss, so I didn't even need to use a cream! ❤Easy to Use It was fine without applying an additional cream! It might feel this way because it's summer and my skin tends to produce more oil...
ConsOiliness... It's both a pro and a con... I didn't like the feeling of a film forming on my skin. When I used ampoule>cream, it felt like my skin was fully hydrated and moisturized, but with just this First Essence in Emulsion, it seemed like my skin became oilier? It's fine when I'm at home, but when I applied this several times before makeup, my foundation started to separate. It's not terrible to use, but I don't think it's necessary to replace what I'm already using.
TipIt was great for use at home! If you're not going out, nothing could be more convenient than this.

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.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers: Skin type: Dry, Sensitive ✔️Application (Texture) True to its name 'Essence in Emulsion', it has a very fluid texture. 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.

When I first applied it, there was a slight tingling sensation, but it was fine afterwards. The texture is very fluid, which I prefer over thick formulas. It doesn't cause my makeup to pill, it's gentle, and doesn't cause any blemishes. I had a recent breakout on my cheek, but after applying this twice, it disappeared. I use this instead of toner, applying the ampoule first, and then follow with cream. It can feel a bit rich, but I'm diligently patting it in. I have mild seborrheic dermatitis that worsens when my skin is dry, but I can apply this generously without worry. I'll decide whether to repurchase after finishing the whole bottle.
ConsGiven my age, it's a bit disappointing that it doesn't have any whitening or anti-wrinkle functions.
TipI don't have any special tips, just apply it as usual.

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.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. First off, true to its name as an 'essence-in-emulsion', I loved how it was moisturizing without being too sticky. It's perfect for those who dislike that tacky finish, especially during summer. The ingredients are gentle, and it worked well for my sensitive, acne-prone skin without causing any irritation. I think it would be great for those with oily skin looking for light, refreshing hydration in the summer.
ConsFor those with dry skin or deep dryness, this alone might not provide enough moisture. While the essence-in-emulsion aims to be an all-in-one product, that could actually be a drawback. I felt that the traditional method of applying essence followed by cream maintained a thicker, more protective moisture barrier.
TipIn the morning, I used a boosting or first essence to refine my skin texture and provide initial hydration, then finished with this emulsion. For the evening, as I felt it wasn't quite moisturizing enough on its own, I added a cream as the final step in my morning routine.

I'm writing this review after using it for a few days! My skin type is combination. To be precise, only my T-zone is oily while the rest is dry. I tried this product when my skin was red and sensitive due to stress and frequent mask-wearing. First, the packaging: It comes in a sturdy, semi-transparent plastic container with a pump dispenser and a cap. The light blue and white sticker design gives off a gentle vibe. The volume was surprisingly generous! The texture, true to its 'essence-in-emulsion' claim, is a light and refreshing thin emulsion. It's essentially fragrance-free, with only a slight scent that disappears quickly after application. You don't need to worry about the fragrance at all. Given the current challenging conditions (rainy season and mask-wearing), I applied this lightly after my serum. I loved how it didn't feel sticky at all. It absorbs well too. However, if you have dry skin or prefer more richness, this alone might not be enough. My mom, who has dry skin, also tried it and found it too light. But for me, it was perfect! The ingredients are really impressive and trustworthy! Unlike many products these days that often contain at least one of the 20 common irritants, this one has none. I highly recommend this for those with sensitive skin or prone to blemishes.
ConsThe main drawback, especially for students, might be the price... But it's understandable given the high-quality, naturally-derived ingredients.
TipFor extra hydration, try using a serum before and lightly misting after application!

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.Pros-The Hwahae Testers Review- As someone with super sensitive skin, I was looking for a non-irritating and hydrating product, and this was perfect for me! 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.
