The fragrance is lovely. Even applying just the essence leaves my skin feeling wonderfully hydrated. It's quite pricey at full cost, unfortunately. It's best to stock up during sales. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 9, 2023
It has a leafy scent and an essence-like texture. At first, it stung a bit, but I used it every 2-3 days. As I continued using it, my skin texture improved and the tingling sensation disappeared, so I've been using it consistently. Compared to other texture-improving essences sold at regular market prices, I think this one was more effective. I used it as a toner replacement. The amount is generous, so I feel like I got good value for money and used it for a long time. There aren't many downsides that I can think of. The initial tingling I felt at the beginning went away as my skin got used to it. However, it's a bit disappointing that the container isn't recyclable. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinJan 5, 2023
I was curious about skincare with EGF, so I gave this a try. It has a pleasant scent, provides just the right amount of hydration, and leaves my skin feeling soft. I'm not sure if there are any downsides yet, but I feel I need to use it a bit longer to really tell. - Hwahae UserDry SkinNov 11, 2022
First off, the scent when applying is absolutely divine. It's not your typical cosmetic fragrance, but rather something more sophisticated - like a luxurious floral or soap scent? It's hard to put into words, but the aroma alone feels like it's melting away fatigue. The texture isn't runny, more like a non-drippy gel, which makes for a clean application. After putting it on, I could feel my skin's deep hydration being replenished, which was wonderful. It left my skin feeling incredibly soft and supple. I usually skip toner and opt for a first essence, and I'm thoroughly satisfied with this one. The packaging looks a bit masculine, so much so that my husband mistook it for his own new skincare product and used it! If only the case design was a bit more aesthetically pleasing... When your skin feels particularly dehydrated, it's great to layer it on multiple times for better absorption. I also found it works well as a mask when applied to a thin cotton pad. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinOct 27, 2022
It's excellent as a first essence. The scent is lovely, so using it first thing really lifts my mood! After applying all my creams, I finish with this, and it adds an extra layer of hydration. My skin doesn't feel dry even the next morning, which is fantastic. The price is a bit on the high side. While I personally enjoyed the fragrance, those sensitive to scents might not appreciate it as much. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 17, 2022
I have combination dehydrated skin! Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this product. Pros: - It absorbs well. When I use a beauty device to help it penetrate, it seems to sink endlessly into my skin. - Even when I layer it, there's no pilling. - The scent might be polarizing, but I'm a fan. It has quite a strong rose fragrance, with a hint of fabric softener scent. It's a clean floral smell, but as someone with super sensitive skin, I was slightly concerned about the strong fragrance. - I like that it's not too rich in oils. Cons: - At the same time, I wonder if it's not rich enough. When I apply it, I don't really feel like my skin is being moisturized. However, since it's supposed to be good for pores, I'll keep using it consistently. It feels like it provides very light hydration. - The packaging is unmistakably masculine. It could be mistaken for a men's skincare product. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinOct 17, 2022
The texture, true to its name, is slightly more concentrated than a water toner, but it's not sticky or heavy. There's a noticeable scent - a bit sweet and comforting, which I personally found pleasant. As it's called a 'First Essence', I tried using it as the very first step in my skincare routine, skipping toner. I applied it two ways: directly with my hands and using the included bamboo pads. The pad method was particularly effective. The pads are incredibly thin, and the essence absorbs well, so it didn't feel wasteful. There was no irritation when applied. It was especially great before makeup - a quick 5-minute mask in the morning helped my makeup apply smoothly and last longer. After using this product, my skin felt deeply hydrated without feeling greasy. It created a perfect canvas for sunscreen and makeup, allowing everything to adhere smoothly to my skin. While using it as a mask was my favorite method, even a quick application by hand was beneficial. Unlike some essences that leave skin feeling tight or just wet, this one provided ample hydration without evaporating quickly, despite its lightweight texture. The suggested 'mirroring' technique involves using this product as the first and last step of your routine, but I found it sufficiently hydrating on its own. For me, using this essence followed by eye cream was enough, only adding a light moisturizer on particularly dry days. While I can't claim dramatic improvements in elasticity or pore size from short-term use, I was satisfied with the plumping effect, improvement in deep dryness, and a subtle brightening of my complexion. It seems suitable for oily skin types looking to simplify their routine, and for dry skin as a first hydrating step. While the volume is generous for a first essence, it's not a budget product and can be quite pricey without a discount. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinOct 15, 2022
The scent is luxurious, and I love that there's no feeling of tightness even when I wake up in the morning The price is a bit steep, but it's so good that I can't really find any other downsides The essence absorbs well when applied in two thin layers - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinAug 15, 2022
I've been using this daily since I first started worrying about my pores, and I've seen some results! While the effects aren't dramatic, it's gentle and has a subtle scent - maybe a hint of rose or wood? It's not overwhelming at all. It's not really worth buying at full price. I believe it's become a bit more expensive since the product was renewed. They often have events during live broadcasts. You can get it at a good discount if you buy it then. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinJul 30, 2022
☆ Texture The consistency is slightly thicker than water. When applied to the face, the fragrance that spreads is truly delightful! ☆ Application It feels a bit slippery when first applied. You need to gently pat it in with your hands for absorption. While it doesn't absorb instantly, it doesn't take too long either. It provides a satisfying level of hydration that you can really feel. ☆ Sensitivity For a pore-focused toner, it's quite gentle and not harsh on the skin. Even though my skin is currently sensitive from recent mild laser treatments, I appreciate that it doesn't cause any irritation. I'll update on its effectiveness for pores after using it a bit longer! The price seems a bit steep when considering it as just a toner.
