Effective for Inner Dryness

For someone with extremely dry skin like me, it's not quite enough. I keep it in the bathroom to use right after cleansing, but I don't notice much difference compared to the Mamonde toner I was using before, despite this being called a serum rather than a toner

It absorbs incredibly fast, making it perfect as a first-step serum

디디에 휘 헴프스템 퍼스트 에센스

While it works well for me, I'm not sure how it would suit those with dry skin. So far, I don't have any complaints.

I'm using the set with serum, cream, and wrinkle cream, and it's incredibly lightweight and wonderful. My skin tends to be slightly dry in winter and oily in summer, but it's not particularly sensitive, so I don't often get blemishes. However, since I lean towards oily skin, other products sometimes feel like they're on the verge of breaking me out when I apply too much. I often had a slightly parched feeling, which led me to frequently use just mist. But this product absorbs so lightly that I find myself reaching for it often, and it seems to give my skin a bit of a glow.

For even easier application, try decanting some into a mist bottle.

While I appreciate that it's fragrance-free, I think a light scent could be nice too.

I love how lightweight the formula is, yet it's so hydrating! As I have dry skin, I keep it in the bathroom to apply right after washing my face. I've also put some in a mist bottle to spray on throughout the day.

Normally I use a thin cotton pad and cleansing oil, but using this as a pack feels refreshing and nice~

The packaging is not quite to my taste, so I wish it was a little prettier.

I purchased this product because it had a 1+1 promotion and the ingredients were interesting.
Personally, I don't like heavy formulas, so the water-based texture felt light and good.
It left my skin feeling clean and well-smoothed.
After the moisturizing finish, I applied a rich cream without any heaviness.
I'm glad the product is free of concerning ingredients and has gentle formulation.
I'm satisfied with the soothing and hydrating effects.

I agree with the above. Additionally, it's just a basic water-based formula with nothing special about it. It doesn't even help with deep dryness or anything like that.

I can't even give this one star. It's a 1+1 deal, but I couldn't find the manufacturing date anywhere. I had to accept the delivery, but it turns out the product was made way back in January 2022! They should have disclosed this. Plus, it has a shorter shelf life than regular products. It's already well over a year old. If I had known, I wouldn't have bought it. When I inquired, they said I'd have to pay for return shipping as it would be considered a change of mind. From a consumer's perspective, it seems like they're trying to make money off nearly expired products. Especially in today's oversaturated cosmetics market, this has completely ruined the company's image for me. I'll definitely never order from them again.

Make sure to soak a mask sheet thoroughly and use it as a face pack. You must try it!

The price is a bit on the higher side, but it's worth it for the effectiveness!

I bought this along with a cream, and after applying it, my deep dryness disappeared! I've been soaking a mask sheet in it and using it like a face pack. It gives my face a beautiful glow.

After using it for a while, I've noticed a slight tingling sensation when applying. It does subside over time, but I'll need to be more diligent about applying moisturizer or a soothing gel alongside it.

I love how it keeps my skin moisturized without evaporating quickly. Even after some time, there's no feeling of tightness, which is great.
