This product has a herbal medicine-like scent that might be polarizing! However, it's not artificial, but rather a healthy aroma, so I don't mind it. Effectiveness: The essence I was using before was gentle with good absorption, and this product is also overall gentle, which I like! I'd recommend it to those looking for soothing effects.
ConsTexture: It feels slightly oily! I usually use a refreshing cica ampoule, so this centella essence feels unfamiliar and I'm less inclined to reach for it. I don't think I'd use it at all during summer.

Personally, I appreciate that they didn't use artificial fragrances. The texture is like a runny essence with a slight viscosity, similar to thin mucus. It feels hydrating when applied, and although it doesn't contain oils, some people say it forms an oil-like layer. I suspect this is due to the glycerin content, so those who dislike the heavy feeling of glycerin might find it uncomfortable. In terms of effectiveness, when used alone, it may lack hydration over time. However, when combined with other products, it seems to provide sufficient hydration and soothing effects. The overwhelming amount of centella asiatica extract, surpassing even water content, along with the super centella complex, helps calm the skin. This is especially beneficial for skin irritated by mask-wearing. I also appreciate the clean packaging with perforated lines, making it easy to separate the label and container for recycling.
ConsWhile I don't personally focus on scent or texture, these elements could be divisive for some users.
TipFor those who find the oil-like finish uncomfortable or feel lacking in hydration even after layering, I'd recommend following up with an emulsion or hydrating cream rather than using this product alone!

First and foremost, it worked well on my super sensitive skin without causing any blemishes. Usually, using just a toner or essence leaves my skin feeling dry, but this product alone provided sufficient hydration! If it works for me, I think other combination dehydrated skin types will be satisfied too! Although I got to try it through The Hwahae Testers program this time, I'll definitely purchase it with my own money when I run out. ✔️ Moisturizing power: It was adequately hydrating even when used alone. While individual experiences may vary, I found the level of hydration perfect - not too heavy, just right. I'm very satisfied! ✔️ Volume: The amount is sufficient, similar to the toners I usually use.
Cons✔️ Packaging: Everything was great except for one inconvenience - the bottle opening. A gentle tap dispenses too little product, but shaking it a bit harder results in way too much coming out. It could be that I'm not good at controlling it, but I hope the bottle opening gets improved.

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.

I can use it with complete confidence. The texture is rich and concentrated, giving a luxurious feel. I have another centella extract product at home, but it's quite thin. This one, however, feels incredibly potent. After application, my skin feels deeply moisturized for a long time, and there's a noticeable calming effect on my complexion.
ConsIt would be really helpful if there were detailed instructions on how to use the product or a guide highlighting the benefits of the key ingredients. That kind of information would be super useful for users.
TipI kept it in the fridge for a cooling effect. I applied it using a cotton pad to refine my skin texture. When I wanted extra hydration, I simply dispensed the product directly onto my hands and gently pressed it into my skin for better absorption.

The texture is somewhat fluid like water, but with a bit more density. Interestingly, it doesn't feel sticky at all. Since it's fragrance-free, it has a natural, herbal scent - perhaps from the ingredients themselves. Currently, Pai's line only includes this essence and a foam cleanser, but I think this essence alone might be sufficient without a cream. It claims to provide hydration, moisture, and soothing effects, so it should be good... Anyway, Pai is the best!
ConsThe downside is that there are only the foam cleanser and this essence in the line, which is a bit disappointing.
