However, this product has a lightweight formula that absorbs quickly, making it great to use before makeup!
ConsIt seems like they suggest applying this before toner, but I'm unsure if I should apply the essence before using an exfoliating toner. The consistency is quite thin, so I find myself using it rather generously.

This one product provides sufficient deep hydration, so you only need to follow up with a cream. ✅ Perfect for summer - it's moisturizing yet absorbs well, so you can use it alone (leaves no sticky residue). ✅ After using it for a few days, I found it agreeable with no major blemishes. I'll need to use it more consistently to see the full effects of adenosine. Now that I'm in my 30s, I really appreciate how important skin elasticity is!
ConsThere's nothing to complain about. It's a solid product, and even the packaging is designed for easy disposal. The wide opening makes it easy to dispense the product.
TipIf it doesn't suit your face, don't hesitate to use it on your body. As we age, various parts of our body tend to get drier!

It's not sticky at all, so I could conveniently swipe it on dry areas whenever needed. The texture is closer to an oil-based balm than a hydrating product, but it's neither too hard nor too soft, allowing for smooth application. It was perfect for quickly moisturizing around the eyes or neck when I didn't feel like applying eye or neck cream.
ConsWhen using it as a final step before cream, it seems to need a bit more time to absorb fully.

The absorbs is incredibly smooth, which is great because it doesn't irritate my skin. It glides on lightly and isn't sticky at all.
ConsThere's nothing I'm particularly disappointed with... I'm satisfied with everything. I have deep dryness, but this provides excellent hydration, which I really appreciate.
TipIn the morning, I apply it under my eyes as the final step of my skincare routine before makeup. Even after applying makeup, there's no tightness around the eyes, which is fantastic.

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 was pleasantly surprised that despite being a stick, it wasn't greasy or sticky like a sunscreen stick at all! That was a big plus. I loved how it absorbed completely overnight without feeling like it was sitting on top of my skin when I woke up. The stick format makes it easy to swipe on, and it's perfect for touch-ups throughout the day, especially for those who go foundation-free or don't wear makeup. While it's not overly rich, it's not completely oil-free either. So if you have deep dryness or very dry skin, applying this stick after hydrating your skin can help lock in moisture, preventing that tight, dry feeling throughout the day. I have atopic dermatitis, and even when I apply emulsion, my neck area tends to dry out quickly. But when I used this stick over the emulsion, it seemed to keep the moisture in for quite a while (though it's not incredibly hydrating on its own). It's ideal for sealing in moisture rather than providing hydration. If you dislike the greasy feel of sunscreen sticks, you might really enjoy this. My mom, who usually needs to mist her face after lunch due to dehydration, said she didn't feel that tightness on days she used this stick under her makeup. Also, as someone with super sensitive skin that easily gets red, itchy, and tingly with even slightly irritating products, I didn't experience any of those issues, so it seems to be truly gentle on the skin!
ConsAs mentioned earlier, it's really just for locking in moisture. To be honest, I can't tell if it's actually good for wrinkles or firmness. As for the glow, you need to apply it multiple times and then put on cushion foundation to see any effect, but then it can look quite shiny. If you want a glow with just one application, it's only possible when you're not wearing makeup. You might want to skip this step when you're in a hurry. If you try to apply it quickly like you would with other skincare steps, it tends to pill.
TipFor those who want a slight glow when wearing makeup, I recommend applying your moisturizer first, letting it absorb completely, and then applying this essence stick! Otherwise, it can cause your cream to pill and potentially make your makeup look cakey.

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.ProsAs a woman in her mid-30s experiencing dryness and a noticeable decrease in skin's natural moisture, I've found that oil-based products have become essential. This stick format is compact and easy to use with a simple twist, making it convenient to keep within reach for frequent touch-ups. The non-sticky, moisturizing formula feels comfortable even with repeated application. I was particularly pleased when I applied it to my lips - it didn't feel slippery, but instead gently filled in fine lines, leaving a satisfying result.
ConsThe almost fragrance-free scent is both a pro and a con. While I appreciate its non-greasy yet nourishing feel, perfect for targeting dry areas on-the-go, I can't help but wish for a subtle fragrance. It's lightweight and enveloping without being overwhelming, which is great, but the moisturizing effect doesn't last as long as I'd hope on my dehydrated skin. However, given its convenient stick format, it's easy to reapply more frequently than other balms, which somewhat makes up for this.
TipThe best way to use this product is simply to reapply often, which is where this stick balm really shines. After cleansing, when I'm too tired for a full routine, I'll quickly swipe it around my eyes, mouth, and neck before applying a sheet mask. This technique, followed by some rest, works wonders. Unlike using a mask alone, which can leave my eye area and lips feeling parched, this method keeps those delicate areas hydrated. It's especially effective for preventing dryness in areas prone to fine lines - a real game-changer for my skincare routine!

It doesn't feel sticky, so it's great for facial application. It's especially nice to layer on after skincare before bed when my skin feels dry. Lately, I've been feeling a bit of dryness, but after applying this, my skin feels moisturized and has a lovely glow that I really like. Above all, it's free from 7 harmful ingredients, so it should be suitable even for those with super sensitive skin. I appreciate that it gives a hydrated glow rather than a greasy shine.
ConsThe only downside is the small size. It runs out quickly when I use it frequently for dry spots, which is a bit disappointing.
TipIf you apply a thin layer over your nighttime skincare routine, it gives your skin a dewy glow and makes it feel firm and supple.

Love how it feels! [Absorption] 5/5 I expected stick formulas to be oily, but this one isn't sticky at all. Instead of feeling greasy, it leaves my skin feeling hydrated. Surprisingly, it feels quite light! This is what I'm most satisfied with!!! [Fragrance] 5/5 I initially thought it was fragrance-free, but there's a subtle, delicate scent. Highly recommended for those who dislike strong fragrances in cosmetics!
ConsAs with most stick cosmetics, the price point and quantity are drawbacks. The price is a bit steep for the amount you get.
TipAfter showering and applying your basic skincare routine, use this as a final step, focusing on areas prone to dryness. It works wonders!

It absorbs really well. There's a subtle floral scent, possibly lavender, which I find quite pleasant.
ConsBeing a stick format, it doesn't appear very hygienic. That's why I personally only use it on my eye area, forehead, and face in general.
TipWhile it absorbs well, applying too much pressure can make it feel heavy. Try using a lighter touch or if that's difficult, gently pat it onto your skin for best results.
