Refinement Essence

Not Moisturizing

Not Effective for Inner Dryness

Lacks Moisture

Not Sticky

Not Irritating

Doesn't Cause Breakouts

Refreshing

Easily Absorbed

Doesn't Cause Itching

Improves Complexion

There seemed to be a slight tightness.
And you might want to look for a more moisturizing product if it has drying ingredients.

Despite its complexity, it was really moisturizing.
I have sensitive skin, so I can't use just any product, but this one is gentle and good for me.

리파인먼트 에센스

Since this is not an all-in-one product, you'll need to apply a skin, essence, and lotion for the best results!!!

Compared to other essences, this one has less oil content, so it might feel a bit drying for those with dry skin..

Despite being much more affordable than the Sulwhasoo essence I normally use, this product has been quite satisfactory!! Since it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients, my skin hasn't experienced any troubles and I'm really happy with it ㅎㅎ The fragrance-free formula makes it comfortable for men to use as well~

Recommended for sensitive skin~Keep using it consistently

I've tried all the department store cosmetics~I've also tried various natural products online
but they all caused me trouble
Only one product didn't cause any trouble
~I was very surprised after using that one product, it's extremely good

This is a super sensitive skin product~~It's functional and I applied it without any trouble~It doesn't itch at all and even the trouble spots were all covered
It's really great value for money, the ingredients are also very good
It's light and refreshing~

Although it's an expensive product, I still feel the urge to buy it again...

I made it with natural materials instead of chemical ingredients,
and my acne has completely disappeared, and my skin has become so gentle and improved.
Thank you so much.

It seems to be made entirely of chemicals, leaving my skin feeling dry and lacking in quantity.

My sensitive skin has completely cleared up after using this product~^^

I've been storing it in the refrigerator to use it cool.
And I've been using it up to my neck as well.
Since it's a whitening & wrinkle-care product, I'm managing the wrinkles on my neck too.

The fact that it's a pumping product makes it a bit difficult to control the amount.

The Hankook Extra Treatment Essence is said to lift the elasticity deep within the skin. I'd like to say that it's a refreshing essence to use in the summer.

At 50ml / 69,000 won, it's on the pricier side as a natural cosmetic. However, it's a functional cosmetic that is definitely worth the price.

It's a dual-functional product for whitening and wrinkle care, as it's formulated with collagen + peptide (=EGF) + nano ingredients, which help brighten and clarify the skin, and the abundant collagen and peptide (=EGF) help increase skin vitality and elasticity.

The nano fermented ingredients also form a protective barrier on the skin to prevent moisture loss and enhance long-lasting moisture retention without burdening the pores, helping to improve skin texture and prevent dryness.
It's the perfect product to use on hot days like these.

It's a pumping product.

When used, the liquid type flows down quickly, so you'll need to apply it quickly.

I'm quite sensitive to scents, and some natural products can have strong fragrances that I'm hesitant to use, but the Hankook product is fragrance-free and colorless, so I can use it without any burden. Those of you who are also sensitive to scents will likely enjoy using this as well.

While it absorbs quickly, it seems a bit lacking since it's on the drier side. I apply other things along with it before bed~

It's definitely well-absorbed when applied correctly. That's why it doesn't feel sticky or leave a residue when touching the face. That's probably why the makeup doesn't budge. Above all, it gets my vote for being made with natural ingredients and not being irritating!

The packaging seems a bit lacking compared to the price...

It would be better if they made it simpler

The absorption after use is good.
I'll have to use it a little more, but
I'm satisfied so far!!

You could also try mixing in a small amount of another lotion during the adjustment period - that might help!

I didn't have any breakouts at all~
But compared to other essences, it absorbs really quickly and doesn't feel sticky, so I did experience some tightness. In my case, I used it together with a rich cream, and after about 5 days, that tightness gradually went away!! Since it's a natural product, I think it needs some time to adjust.

I'm currently using this product and the ingredients are really gentle! It doesn't seem to cause any breakouts.
The formula is quite thick - some people call it a 'runny' type, haha.
It absorbs really quickly and doesn't leave any stickiness, which I really liked! And I didn't notice any strong chemical fragrance, so it feels like a mild, gentle skincare product.

The price seems a bit high.
I wish it was a bit more affordable.

It's non-sticky and absorbs quickly!
100% natural, so there's zero trouble.
