Pros
This item has been really popular lately, so I really wanted to try it out. It's definitely convenient to carry around, so I find myself reaching for it often. Even without a mirror, I can easily swipe it on anytime, which is so convenient. My skin feels smoother and less dry, without any tightness.
Cons
After just a few days of using it, I didn't see any dramatic reduction in my wrinkles, haha. But by applying it regularly, I never feel dry, and the moisturized feeling alone puts me in a good mood.

Pros
- The fragrance is not too strong, but has a subtle floral scent, which I like!! - The moment I apply it, my skin feels firm and taut - The stick format is hygienic and doesn't get mushy, which is great - It spreads smoothly without any stickiness - After applying it, the bumps on my skin become less noticeable the next day👍🏻
Cons
- I'm not sure if it's effective in improving wrinkles, as the usage period seems short - The area around my eyes and laugh lines is fine, but the skin around my chin has become a bit bumpy🤔 (The skin around my chin was severely itchy, so I had to apply aloe vera leaves to soothe it ㅠㅡㅠ) - Due to the firm texture, it tends to stick to my hair strands a bit.

Pros
First, I thought the stick would be oily and sticky like a sun stick, but it's not at all! I liked that. It was great that when I applied it before bed and woke up in the morning, it didn't sit on top of my skin but absorbed well. The stick form makes it easy to swipe on, and I think it would be good for those who are makeup-free or don't wear makeup regularly to reapply throughout the day. The oil content is not excessive, but it's not completely absent either. So for those with slightly dry skin or very dry skin, applying the stick after moisturizing can help lock in the moisture and prevent a tight, dry feeling throughout the day! I have atopic dermatitis, and my neck area especially dries out quickly even after applying lotion, but using the lotion and then the stick seemed to keep it moisturized for longer (though not to the point of being super hydrated, haha). It seems best suited for sealing in moisture rather than deeply hydrating. Those who dislike the greasy feeling of sun sticks would probably like using this. Even my mom, who usually has to spritz herself with mist after lunch because her skin feels tight, said she didn't have that problem on the days she used the stick and did her makeup.
Cons
As I mentioned above, it seems to be more for locking in moisture rather than deeply hydrating. I honestly don't know if it improves wrinkles or elasticity; The glow is only somewhat visible if you layer it with cushion makeup, but then it gets quite shiny. To get the glow, you'd have to use it alone without other makeup. It's probably best to skip it when you're in a hurry. If you try to apply it like your regular skincare steps, it can get cakey.
Tip
For those who want a subtle glow when doing their makeup, I'd recommend applying a moisturizer first, letting it fully absorb, and then using the essence stick. Otherwise, the cream can get pushed around and your makeup may not apply smoothly.

Pros
※Hwahae Trial Reviewer selection has provided me with a great opportunity! Thank you :) My skin is in its mid-30s, with a sensitive and combination type. I've moved away from the crazy oiliness of my 20s, and now have a moderate oily feeling, but I do feel a slight dryness after washing.🥲 I used to have frequent breakouts, but now, except for when I'm really tired or in the hot summer, my skin is quite normal :) - Spreadability The stick formula is soft and spreads smoothly on the skin, like a lip balm. However, as it's a solid stick, it's not as creamy as some products, but has the typical softness of a solid formula. - Absorption It's not an overly greasy formula, so it glides on and absorbs well with a few gentle pats. - Fragrance There's a light, bubblegum-like berry scent that's not too strong. I personally enjoy this fragrance. - Moisturizing It claims to be effective in reducing wrinkles and providing a glow, which got me really excited. But for me, the results weren't as dramatic as I had hoped. As someone with drier skin, I was hoping for more noticeable improvements around the eye area. Even after a few applications and gentle patting, it gets absorbed quickly and the lasting moisturizing effect is a bit less, so I sometimes feel a bit dry again.🥲 - Recommended Skin Type I think this would work well for oily or combination skin types in the summer, as it doesn't leave a greasy finish. For dry skin types, it might not be enough with just one or two applications, as it could feel a bit drying.😂
Cons
While the effects may vary by skin type, I didn't experience significant wrinkle improvement. Using it more frequently, like once in the morning before work and once after evening cleansing, might work better, but for me, the moisturizing effect didn't last long enough.
Tip
For those with oily skin, or those looking for a lightweight wrinkle-improving stick for the hot summer, I'd recommend this. My tip would be to apply it multiple times throughout the day.👀

Pros
Spreadability: The appropriate balance of moisture and oil makes it neither too light nor too heavy, leaving a nicely moisturized application. Radiance: After applying the skincare and makeup, the beautiful radiance that emerged was pleasing. Fragrance: The subtle, natural fragrance was enjoyable while applying the product.
Cons
Since I haven't used it for a long time, I'm not sure about the wrinkle improvement effects, but I think I'll need to use it consistently to find out.

Pros
- As a stick product, it is easy to use and can be easily applied to the neck, eye area, and lip area - It melts well with body temperature like a balm, and you can feel it become soft and moisturized when gently massaged - It's not just a simple oil shine, but can be used without feeling burdened - It's good for temporarily pressing down the flaky areas before makeup
Cons
- I'm not sure about the noticeable wrinkle improvement effect. I think I need to use it consistently to know - The fragrance is somewhat irritating. It's not noticeable while applying, but after application, there's a crushed flower petal-like scent that lingers. There may be mixed opinions about it - The formula is on the firmer side, but it melts well with body temperature and can be used up quickly - While it can be used like a lip balm... I couldn't try it because the fragrance is too irritating

Pros
Compared to the Gahee Multibam I used before, the oil content of the Multibam >>>>> First Shot Stick was much less. I felt that the oil content was much lower than the Multibam, and I didn't feel stuffy at all even when I applied it multiple times. Especially, the Multibam had a lot of oiliness, so when I applied it around the eyes, it felt relatively sticky and uncomfortable. But this essence stick was moderately moisturizing and had a lightweight feel, so it wasn't uncomfortable at all when applied around the eyes, and it felt like it just filled in the wrinkles nicely.
Cons
Both the Multibam and the First Shot Essence Stick don't seem to have much effect on wrinkles that have already formed. I just use them to keep my skin moisturized and prevent further wrinkles from forming.
Tip
Let's diligently use this product morning and night to prevent wrinkles! For oily skin types, this product may be more refreshing and better suited than the Multibam!

Pros
Convenience O Moisturizing O Trouble X Able to create a naturally glowing complexion. When going out and wearing a mask, I apply it smoothly to my forehead as well. Before going to bed, I apply it to my forehead, nasolabial folds, and neck wrinkles.
Cons
I'm not sure about the amazing lifting effect or wrinkle improvement effect. The fragrance is not to my liking.

Pros
As someone with dry skin, I would like to give the highest score to products that apply smoothly without clumping and leave a moisturized finish, whether I'm using them for my base or touch-ups. I also carry a lot of mini bags, so the compact and portable size is very convenient for me to carry around frequently. The multi-balm is great for reapplying to my lips throughout the day. Lastly, even though I have sensitive skin, the gentle formula didn't cause any blemishes, which I'm really happy about.
Cons
Since I only used it for a short time, I didn't see the expected effects on wrinkle improvement. It's also quite moisturizing but has an oily feel, so I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types.
Tip
The oily feel means it's better suited for combination or dry skin types, rather than oily skin. I'd also recommend using it more in the spring and fall, rather than the summer.

Pros
1. It provides a glossy, smooth, and dewy look rather than a greasy feeling. 2. When applied the previous day and slept in, the moisturizing effect was well-maintained until the next morning. 3. It is portable and the fragrance of the cosmetic is subtle and pleasant. 4. Even when applied multiple times, there was no clumping, and I did not feel it sliding during application.
Cons
1. Regarding the product's efficacy, I did not have high expectations for the wrinkle improvement aspect, and I did not actually feel any noticeable effects. 2. The stick wears down quickly. 3. When applying it to the face, the contents seem to slide in smoothly. It could be a product defect, but when applying with more pressure, the stick rotates and feels like it's being drawn in. 4. It is very sticky. When used on a windy day, my hair got stuck to it, causing discomfort.
