It's gentle and non-irritating, making it suitable even for sensitive skin days
Cons
It doesn't absorb well, leaving a persistent sticky feeling. Also, I didn't see any effect on my blemishes.

The hydration power is amazing! After applying, my blemishes almost disappeared!!
Cons
Nothing particularly bad, but if I only use the toner, my face feels a bit dry and rough

The makeup from Estee** blends in beautifully with the brown bottle feel.
Cons
There were no issues. I usually get breakouts when the ingredients don't agree with me, but that didn't happen.

It helps with dryness~ It's my favorite essence that I use up completely~It seems to suit my dry skin well~^^
Cons
I'm using it up completely and there's nothing I'm unhappy about:)
Tip
In the winter, layering it on helps even more with dryness!!!

The centella ingredients are great for soothing, and it's nice to use as a skin + essence. I don't even know how many bottles I've gone through! I used the 100% centella skin, but felt it lacked moisture, so I repurchased the more hydrating one. This and a moisturizer alone are enough, so it's great for light application or when dealing with unexplained breakouts and doing a cosmetic diet. I recommend this to those with dry skin!
Cons
The overall balance is good, and I haven't had any issues so far. It's also easy to recycle, which is nice!
Tip
When my skin gets sensitive, applying it generously as a skin pack helps soothe it.

This product was so great for soothing my skin. For the first time in my life, my skin was in such bad shape, and even after going to a dermatologist and trying various products for months, nothing could calm it down. I was at my wit's end, so I tried all sorts of things, and this was the only cosmetic that truly helped. Among all the cosmetics I've used, this is the only one that has made my skin stronger and healthier. Haha I will never forget how grateful I am for this wonderful cosmetic. Well, I always trust Pai and use her products.
Cons
None! I even got it on sale, so the price was great. If it were a bit cheaper, I could use it without a care in the world.

The watery formula is easily absorbed. It's convenient to layer multiple times before makeup, and the makeup applies well. The gentle essence is non-irritating, so even sensitive skin users didn't experience any troubles.
Cons
The scent may be divisive. Oily skin types may experience a lot of shine when using it at night before bed.
Tip
It's best to use this as a prep step before makeup.

This product helps to eliminate dryness and leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized.
Cons
The scent is somewhat similar to traditional herbal medicine, which is a bit disappointing, but it's not overly bothersome.

It applies smoothly and lightly like water. The fragrance is subtle but feels natural, which is nice. This is a first essence that I would want to repurchase.
Cons
When I use it along with the skin pack, it gets used up faster than expected, and when there's no price discount, the cost becomes quite noticeable.

The ingredients are simple, and the liquid formula is hydrating. It absorbs well even when applied in multiple layers. The one-way scent is not unpleasant.
Cons
The price may not be the best value. The fragrance could be divisive.
Tip
Using a thin cotton pad for a sheet mask is a good idea.
