It's quite different from your typical essence! Scent: It has a strong herbal aroma. If you're not a fan of intense fragrances, you might want to skip this one. For sensitive, oily skin: This product is incredibly gentle and effective. After my skin flared up, even basic skincare would make my face feel hot, but this doesn't cause that sensation at all. I can see my blemishes gradually subsiding! Also, it seems to have reduced my skin's oiliness. I usually use blotting papers at lunchtime, and I've noticed less oil coming off. Repurchase intention: Absolutely! Since my skin became sensitive, skincare routines were often painful. But with this product, there's no discomfort at all. It's fantastic! The more consistently you use it, the better the results seem to be.
ConsThere's absolutely nothing negative to say. I'm struggling to even reach the minimum character count!
TipTry soaking a cotton pad with the product and leaving it on your skin as a mini-mask!

I could feel my complexion improving. The redness reduction was noticeably better, and while I didn't see much improvement in skin texture or unevenness, I'm still very satisfied with these results! I think this would be great for those with acne-prone skin to try.
ConsThe first thing you'll notice is the scent. It has a herbal medicine-like smell, which feels strange at first, but you get used to it as you keep using it. The texture is also slightly disappointing. It's watery but somehow sticky? However, it felt fine when I applied multiple layers, and I could feel the hydration.
TipI decanted it into an empty mist bottle and sprayed it frequently! It helped cool down my skin when it started to feel warm and also had a soothing effect.

This product definitely helps control the dryness when applied multiple times. - I can feel the tiny beads going on, which is interesting! - It seems to suit my skin well. When I apply it on inflamed areas with blemishes, they calm down within a day.
Cons- I'm not sure if it's because I have oily skin, but even though it's a water-based formula, it feels oilier than expected after some time.
Tip- If you feel it's not hydrating enough after one application, try layering it multiple times. It becomes noticeably more moisturizing.

First off, I trusted and used this essence without checking the ingredients separately, simply because it was created by Director Pi. When I looked into it while writing this review, I was thrilled to find that it indeed contains only good ingredients without any concerning ones. For about 3 days after I started using it, I felt a significant effect. I noticed that the blemishes on my cheeks were gradually calming down and the deep dryness was reduced. However, after using it for over a week, it seemed like my skin had become accustomed to it, and the deep dryness reappeared. Still, I feel that the dryness has decreased somewhat, so I use it every night as part of my basic skincare routine. Also, since I often get acne on my chin, I usually prefer products with Centella Asiatica extract, and this seems to be great for soothing effects as expected!
ConsI think that because it's closer to a light toner-essence rather than a sticky, runny texture, those with severe deep dryness like me might be a bit disappointed if they purchase it solely for addressing deep dryness! Also, it's a bit pricey considering its size, which is unfortunate.
TipThe scent is quite herbal, which might be polarizing for some, but I find it tolerable thinking of it as a scent that's good for my skin. I use it with confidence because of its good ingredients.

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.ProsI have sensitive skin prone to blemishes with deep dryness, though not particularly thin. Here's my review after using the product for a week. The 150ml bottle contains a brown-tinted essence with a subtle herbal scent from centella asiatica, which gives a feeling of improved skin health. With increased mask-wearing, I often get breakouts, but applying this essence immediately calms the skin, preventing further irritation or itching. While it doesn't eliminate larger blemishes, smaller ones gradually subside. The texture absorbs instantly, leaving no sticky residue, which I really appreciate.
ConsOne drawback is that after cleansing, when I apply it with a cotton pad along my skin texture and then press it in with my palms, if I use too much, it can feel like there's a film on my skin. It's not suffocating, but it's noticeable.

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.ProsAs someone with super sensitive skin, I was particularly concerned about blemishes caused by the changing seasons and prolonged mask-wearing. I decided to try this product after hearing about its soothing effects, and I'm impressed! I soaked a cotton pad generously and placed it on trouble spots for a moment, and it really calmed my skin. I also used it as an exfoliating toner after cleansing and patted it in for absorption. It worked well for various purposes! With my sensitive skin, I always scrutinize ingredients carefully. I trust this product because it's free from 20 caution ingredients and potential allergens.
ConsThe one and only downside is the scent. It's said to be the natural fragrance of the ingredients, but as someone who prefers unscented products, I found it a bit overwhelming. Although the scent fades over time, I find myself holding my breath when first applying it due to its distinctive aroma.

Soak a cotton pad generously and apply it as a pack on areas with blemishes - it's like magic for instant soothing! Ample Hydration Despite its water-based formula, I didn't expect much in terms of moisturizing. Surprisingly, even without applying essence or additional moisturizer, my skin remained hydrated without any deep dryness for a long time! Versatile Water Formula The water-based formula makes it incredibly versatile. It's great as an exfoliating toner, for absorption, or as a skin pack - adaptable to various skin needs!
ConsFinish Feel Instead of a fresh finish, it leaves a slight oily film feeling...? There's no oil listed in the ingredients, so I'm not sure why it feels this way. Scent It smells exactly like herbal medicine. The scent dissipates quickly, but it's surprising every time I apply it. However, it feels good for the skin!
TipTry using it as a skin pack on areas that need quick soothing!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFirst off, I have extremely thin and sensitive skin. Having watched Director Pi's YouTube videos extensively, I had a strong sense of trust in the brand when I started using this product. I appreciated that I could use it as a mask by soaking a cotton pad generously with the product. While it didn't provide dramatic soothing effects overnight, it seemed to have a slight calming effect on minor blemishes. The water-based formula made it easy to apply with my hands.
ConsIt didn't seem to have much effect on already developed blemishes. The product felt quite rich, which made it absorb slowly into the skin. Due to this richness, I might not reach for it as often during summer. The packaging is a bit clunky and inconvenient to use. I think a dropper-style bottle would have allowed for cleaner application.
TipWhen I first used it, there was a slight burning sensation that made me wonder if it wasn't suitable for me. However, when I used it as a mask by soaking a cotton pad, it felt somewhat soothing. It might also be nice to keep it in the refrigerator for a cooling effect.

My skin type: combination dehydrated + acne-prone / severe deep dryness and tightness due to winter. - The ingredients are trustworthy and worth using. - I apply it once in the morning and layer it 3 times at night. Even though I'm more sensitive before my period with redness and blemishes popping up, since using this, the redness has significantly decreased and painful emerging blemishes have disappeared. The soothing effect is excellent. - Morning routine before makeup: Toner - The Fay Essence - Hydrating Ampoule - Emulsion, then foundation. With the deep dryness under control, less oil comes through, so my makeup stays put longer. - Evening routine: Toner - The Fay Essence (3 layers) - Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair - Emulsion - Believe Cream. It provides just the right amount of hydration and moisture - not too much, not too little!
ConsThe packaging isn't ideal: Given the product's runny texture, it's difficult to control the amount dispensed from the toner-like bottle. While it's a bit disappointing that there isn't a more suitable container for this consistency, it's not a major issue.
TipLayering it before bed seems to be more effective. So hydrating!
