Pros
The product applies smoothly to the skin and absorbs well...After using it for about 3 days and sleeping with it on, I can feel a noticeable improvement in skin elasticity.👍 I can particularly feel the improvement in elasticity around my thin under-eye area and nasolabial folds. I apply it all over my face first, then apply a second layer to really let it absorb. I'll continue purchasing and using this product.🫶
Cons
I wish it was a pump-type product.. But so far, I'm still quite satisfied, without any major disappointments.
Tip
As I approach my mid-40s, I've started noticing under-eye sagging, nasolabial folds, forehead lines, and lip lines, so I apply the product all over my face first, then apply a second layer to really let it absorb. And once it's fully absorbed, I finish with a mist, ampoule, and cream in that order...It really does seem to make a noticeable difference.

Pros
I'm writing a review after winning the event! While using the mask, I developed eczema on my face. It's usually fine, but for those with sensitive skin, if the weather is hot or if you don't like any cosmetics including the basic skincare, it can make you extremely angry. So it's important to check the ingredients carefully before buying. The cosmetics themselves are really great. I liked the ingredients, the application, the absorption, and the texture - everything was just right. In the winter, using this alone might be drying, but adding a moisturizer on top makes it not too much and keeps it nicely hydrated.
Cons
The opening... Even if you store it carefully, there's quite a bit that gets stuck on the opening and the lid. It's not easy to be careful, even though they say to be. Is there nothing else? I really like this though.
Tip
I use it both morning and night... At night, I apply it more generously, like a pack. I always use a moisturizer anyway. Toner > Aloe > Essence > 1 minute > Essence > Moisturizer This way, you don't need a separate pack and it's sufficiently hydrating!!! Give it a try, everyone~ In the summer, you can skip the moisturizer and just use it. Eczema needs to be kept hydrated, after all!

Pros
1. Texture The texture is viscous and absorbs smoothly and thinly onto the skin. 2. Packaging The opaque white container allows you to see the contents at a glance, and the packaging is clean. 3. Synergy with Gel Cleanser When using this First Essence after my existing gel cleanser, I experienced a good synergy of low irritation, low stimulation, cleansing, and moisture supply for my skin.
Cons
1. Exfoliation While it does have a mild exfoliating effect, the lightweight texture doesn't feel like it deeply soothes or calms the skin. I think I'll need to use a dedicated exfoliating product once a week. 2. Hydration (for very dry skin) It works well as a toner/first essence, but for the cream step, I'll need a more moisturizing and nourishing product to avoid waking up with dehydrated skin. (Adding a middle step serum helped with the dryness.)
Tip
If you have sensitive skin, try using it with a gel cleanser like I do, and exfoliate once or twice a week. I found it especially beneficial as a soothing, instantly hydrating, and calming face mask!

Pros
Cleansing according to the instructions and applying it right away, there was no dry feeling! The formula is a runny type, so I thought it might not work well with cotton pads, but it wasn't too bad. The bottle opening is wide, but the formula didn't spill out due to the texture. I usually feel dry on my cheeks, but on the days I used this product, I didn't feel any dryness. At first, I thought it felt oily, but it absorbed well!
Cons
I'm not sure if it's because I applied too much or if it's due to hormonal effects, but I got some pimples on my forehead, so I've temporarily stopped using it for now.
Tip
I wiped it off with a cotton pad first, then applied it again. That way, there was no dry feeling.

Pros
1. Formulation: As it is a runny formulation, it is great to apply as the first step in your skincare routine in spring and fall. 2. Absorption: Despite being a runny formulation, it absorbs well. 3. Fragrance: It is almost fragrance-free. 4. Appearance: The packaging is clean and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to remove the sticker for environmental consideration.
Cons
It does absorb well, but the moisturizing power seems to vary depending on skin condition, leaving a slight tightness. I'll need to use it more consistently to better understand this aspect.
Tip
It pairs well with a rich cream. When using runny cosmetic formulations, I find using a cleansing brush or device helps enhance absorption.

Pros
I am a 30-something with dry skin type! As my skin became more sensitive to elasticity over the years, I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and got to try the product. The packaging was clean and easy to open, which was convenient. The color looks opaque and dense, but unlike the sticky appearance, it absorbed quickly and didn't leave a greasy residue when applied, which I liked. After applying the first layer and finishing with a cream, I was able to wake up without any dryness, which is very satisfying for someone with dry skin! I'm not sure if there's a dramatic improvement in elasticity and volume, but I'll need to observe it a bit longer.
Cons
While there are many English labels, I think it could reach a more diverse target audience if more content was written in Korean.

Pros
The product was absorbed well into the skin and felt quite supple. It also seemed to have a decent amount of elasticity.
Cons
When I used it, the lack of fragrance was a bit... I wish it had some scent. There may be mixed opinions on this.
Tip
After cleansing, using it right away and then applying toner made my skin feel even more moisturized.

Pros
Products that are usually advertised as good for elasticity can be sticky and difficult to apply in the morning, but this product has a lightweight formula that absorbs quickly, making it great to use before makeup!
Cons
It seems like it's supposed to be applied before toner, but I'm not sure if I should apply the essence and then do the cleansing toner, or the other way around. It's on the thinner side, so I tend to use more than I need.

Pros
✳️Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review✳️ ⭕️30s/Male/Oily/Pores/Blemishes/Sensitive ✅The watery toner-like texture means I don't need to go through many steps like toner, essence, and lotion - this one product is enough to provide sufficient hydration, and just one cream is sufficient. ✅In the summer, it's hydrating yet absorbs well, so using just this product is good enough (it doesn't leave a sticky finish). ✅After using it for a few days, it's been good without causing major breakouts👍🏻 I'll need to use it more consistently to see the full effects of the adenosine. Now that I'm in my 30s, I'm realizing how important firmness is.
Cons
There's nothing disappointing. It's an average product, and the packaging is easy to dispose of. The wide opening also makes it easy to dispense the product🙌🏻
Tip
If it doesn't suit your face, try it on your body instead ㅎㅎ As we get older, various parts of our body can get dry, you know☺️
