I happened to learn about this product and have been using it, and I really love it! There must be a reason why it's called an 'Essence'. It has a non-greasy feel, so there is less tightness on the face compared to other products. It absorbs quickly and has a lightweight application, but the effects are substantial~~ Oily-skinned people would do well to start using it from fall.
ConsIt would be nice if it had a pleasant fragrance, as that would make it even more enjoyable to apply.
TipI just applied it as is in the summer, but in the fall and winter, when my skin was drier, I mixed it with an oil. I had some rosemary oil, so I applied them together, and I highly recommend it!!

I apply it by soaking a cotton pad, using it like a toner, and then patting it on once more. This gives me just the right amount of moisture.
ConsFirst of all, the scent was really not my preference. It had a kind of fermented cosmetics vibe to it. It's not too noticeable if you just apply a light layer, but if you apply it a couple of times, that distinctive scent really comes through strongly.

ConsSince it's a fermented cosmetic, the fragrance is a bit unusual. Other than that, I don't think there's anything else.
TipAfter thoroughly soaking a cotton pad with Shirukotto, wipe it off and leave it on dry areas for better results.

It's lightweight yet provides good moisturization. The acne has subsided a bit (perhaps due to the lack of oil?) There is a noticeable difference in my skin condition when I use it versus when I don't, so I've been going back and forth with it. ๐
ConsIt has a kind of musty smell ใ ใ The smell is a bit... like an urban ใทใ ใ fixative. The performance is good, but the smell is a bit...
TipThere are some sellers at the sample market, so you can buy and test it there. Use the larger size if you can! Since it's a fermented cosmetic, testing is essential!!

It's perfect for oily skin - it's not greasy at all and finishes off just right.
ConsThe scent isn't that great, huh? I haven't found any other downsides yet.

I trust that this product helps strengthen the skin barrier, and after cleansing, I find that it absorbs nicely into the skin with just a few pats with my hands. It's not too lightweight, which I like. I usually apply it in a couple of layers, and it seems to pair well with the brown bottle product.
ConsThe smell... it has a fermented scent that doesn't go away quickly and lingers for a long time. The smell is not great.
TipI usually layer it a couple of times and absorb it into my skin with my hands, and I find that it provides good hydration as the first step in my skincare routine.

I usually don't have issues when switching skincare products, but that one broke me out. So I stopped using it, but later realized it was a fermented product. It's moisturizing. I normally use other products, but I only apply this when I visit my parents as I have a sample. Surprisingly, the moisturizing effect lasts long after applying it. I use it as a toner substitute. After applying, my skin feels hydrated and refreshed.
ConsAt first, I thought the smell was coming from my hands... but after reading reviews, I found that the scent is a common complaint. I usually prefer unscented products, and this has a tangy smell, probably due to the fermentation. However, unless I put my nose right on it, the smell doesn't bother me too much. But it's strange how I find myself sniffing it every time I apply it... (sniff sniff) The smell is there, but it has greatly improved my dry skin, so I can't bring myself to stop using it. I'm not sure about the full-size product, but the sample has a large opening, so I have to be careful when dispensing it. ใ ใ Once I finish my current toner, I'll try the full-size version and write another review. ๐
TipI apply it in two thin layers. And even though it's an essence, it's quite watery, so I use it as the first step in my skincare routine. It's best to apply skincare products from lightest to heaviest texture.

It also calms the skin and leaves it feeling so soft and supple~^ I'm using it together with the brown bottle, and it works well for my sensitive skin too~ I think I'll go through these 2 bottles quickly~
ConsSince it's a fermented essence, the scent is not really my personal preference^^;; But I do get used to it as I use it~~

There is a big difference between using the essence and not using it. After applying the essence, when I used the brown bottle ampoule, the ampoule was definitely absorbed much better. I was wondering what the effect would be when I used it daily, but after finishing the essence, I just used the brown bottle ampoule, and it took longer to absorb than before. The function of helping to absorb the ampoule is really great!
ConsIt was fine for me, but the scent might be divisive. It's not the fragrant scent of a typical cosmetic. To describe it, it's kind of like the old smell of glue, well, something like that. So people sensitive to scents may find it unpleasant.
TipBe sure to apply it before the ampoule. It really helps the ampoule absorb well!
