It doesn't absorb instantly, so it's better to give it some time to sink in. However, being impatient, I usually move on to the next step right away. When I have more time or my skin feels particularly dry, I let it absorb, then layer it again before moving on. The next morning, my skin definitely looks more radiant.

People with oily skin or who sweat a lot might not see special effects from this type of essence. I recommend it for those with dry skin, especially those looking to alleviate deep dryness.

This essence has a watery consistency like a toner, but it feels like it deeply hydrates the skin. I can't find a better product for solving deep dryness. I used to swear by a Lirikos ampoule for my dehydrated skin, which is now discontinued, but this is a similar product I discovered while searching for a replacement. Personally, I really dislike essences that just feel sticky, don't absorb well, and form a film on the skin surface without helping with deep dryness. This, however, is my holy grail for maintaining moisture in my skin.

라이프 플랑크톤™ 온천수 에센스

Due to the high price, I think I'll only buy it when it's on sale. Apart from that, it's great.

I have dry skin with redness, but this product is truly gentle and I'm using it well. No worries about blemishes, and I plan to repurchase when I run out. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey.

Cons: Apart from the price, I can't find much to fault. However, on extremely dry skin, it might feel like it's sitting on the surface rather than sinking in.

Absorbs beautifully. Blends well with stretch mark creams and applies smoothly on its own without feeling out of place. The scent is pleasantly neutral.

The product tends to accumulate around the opening, making it a bit messy... I wipe it frequently. But since the product works well, this isn't really a drawback.

It's moisturizing and nice. The large quantity lasts a long time. For combination dehydrated skin, it's quite effective against deep dryness! Feels like a basic essence that anyone could use comfortably. Though it's called an essence, the texture is closer to a toner!

There's not much to complain about, but the hydration power seems a bit weak.

I'm currently on my fourth bottle of this boosting essence. After downloading the Hwahae app, I noticed it contains many potential allergens. Guess my skin isn't as sensitive as I thought!

As it's a fermented essence, if it doesn't suit you, you might struggle with blemishes. Due to the product's nature requiring shaking before use, I kept forgetting to shake it in the beginning. There's a slight paint-like scent that some might find a bit unpleasant.

After using only Pitera, I received this as a gift and tried it. I'm very satisfied. I can't feel a big difference between the two, but this one is slightly more affordable.

I think it would work well if you apply it after your toner

For those with oily skin, it might feel a bit greasy. And the price...?

It's moisturizing and gives a nice glow, helping with dryness. I recommend it!

The price is a bit on the high side, which is disappointing. It has virtually no viscosity.

On dry days, it feels like it solves deep dryness in my skin!

Nothing to complain about except the price. The cheapest way to buy it is through Naver Shopping Live

Experienced a noticeable improvement in skin texture after just one use

Make sure to apply it with a massaging motion and shake the bottle well to mix the settled ingredients at the bottom.

Since it's a fermented product, those sensitive to scents might initially think 'Why does it smell like this?' But you'll get used to it quickly, and the effectiveness is so good that the scent becomes a non-issue!

I've been using this essence for 8 years because the results are just incredible... It's an essence I simply can't give up. While applying it normally works fine, I find that gently massaging it into the skin with a rolling motion makes my skin texture smoother and deeply hydrates, leaving it wonderfully moisturized. This product is a must-have in my skincare routine - I love layering a targeted essence on top for an amazing synergistic effect!

After cleansing, while using a cotton pad is fine, applying it directly with your hands reduces irritation.

The texture is a bit too watery, which is disappointing. It doesn't seem ideal for deep hydration.

It's great that you can apply it easily without a cotton pad. My skin definitely looked better when I used this - more radiant and healthier. I really like it!

When my skin is acting up, it can feel a bit itchy. Also, it doesn't seem to absorb particularly well.

It's incredibly moisturizing and gives a beautiful, dewy glow to the skin.
