ConsThe volume is a bit disappointing🥲 I want to use it sparingly, but my skin absorbs it so quickly that I find myself applying it three times without realizing it. I'll need to stock up for events!
TipIt's even better when used together with the mist If you apply it, let it absorb, and repeat this process three times, it completely solves the skin's moisture needs!

I occasionally get blackheads and small pimples. ✔️Spreadability and Absorption 5/5 It applied lightly and moisturized well. It absorbed better than expected, leaving a supple feeling! Although it's a water-based formula, it seemed to form a protective layer on the skin and addressed dryness. ✔️Fragrance 4/5 A natural, herbal scent? It's a refreshing fragrance, but not overpowering, so there shouldn't be strong likes or dislikes. I just wished for a more natural scent, so I deducted 1 point:) ✔️Effectiveness 4/5 I happened to have some skin troubles when using it, but my skin texture definitely improved! However, since it contains shea butter, the calming effect on any emerging blemishes wasn't as noticeable, which was a bit disappointing.
Cons⛔️Product Ingredients There are more allergenic ingredients than expected, which is unfortunate. Especially due to the alcohol content, the cream dries out quickly if I don't apply a thick layer on top, so it might be good for summer but I'm not sure about winter🥲
TipIn the summer, applying it lightly and layering a cream on top seems to create a nice, not-too-heavy combination!

When applying for the event, I looked at the ingredients and effects of the cosmetics that would be good for my skin, and so far I haven't experienced any irritation. Usually my skin gets worse before I start using a new product, but this time it went through the transition without any issues, so I think this is a good fit for my skin. The scent reminds me of citrus, possibly because the product name contains 'Jeju'. It's a subtle, natural citrus scent, not artificial. Even those who dislike scented cosmetics should be able to use this comfortably. The texture is like a runny liquid. Spraying it on the back of my hand makes it easy to apply, and it doesn't drip when applied. There was no irritation. Products labeled as 'soothing' are usually non-irritating for me and don't make my skin worse. The most important factors for me are moisture and preventing tightness. Even though it's lightweight, it hasn't made my skin feel dry. I use it as a skin, serum, essence, and sunscreen, and in the summer my skin doesn't get overly oily in the afternoons after using this. It absorbs quickly and seems effective against tightness. 👍 Lightweight, runny texture 👍 Moisturizing, soothing effects 👍 Non-irritating 👍 Good for summer use
ConsThe volume is disappointing compared to the price. It's a bit of a letdown.
TipI felt it was slightly lacking in moisture, so I soaked some cotton pads with the essence and facial oil, pressed them onto my forehead and cheeks, and it looked great and felt good. It might be difficult to do this in the height of summer, but I'll try to use it sparingly.

The formula is suitable for my combination skin, providing sufficient hydration with just one application. I enjoyed the woody scent, which is my personal preference.
ConsWhen I first used it, my face felt a bit irritated. However, it was fine on subsequent uses. I still recommend doing a patch test before using it, just to be safe.
TipStoring it in the refrigerator and applying it chilled can help further soothe any heat or sensitivity.

I think it would be a good gift for someone. 💕It says it has a non-sticky, refreshing texture, and at first, I thought it felt a bit sticky, but after patting it a few times, it absorbed cleanly. It seems to have great absorption power. 💕The scent is like mugwort or rosemary, that kind of herbal fragrance. But it doesn't have an artificial feel, which I liked. 💕Normally, serums or essences come in a dropper format, but this one has a pump, so the right amount comes out at once, which is more hygienic and better.
Cons💁This is just my personal opinion, but the cap is transparent, so it's hard to see without my glasses on. I'm always worried I'll lose it. Ugh.
Tip🥕My T-zone and the mask area have been quite dry lately, and the moisture level from one application wasn't enough to cover the dry parts. If you have dry skin, using a lotion or cream in addition would be a good idea.

Given the short one-week trial period of the Hwahae Trial Reviewer, it's difficult to make a definitive judgment on whether it's good or bad. ㅁ The product contains shea butter, which doesn't agree with me, but I didn't experience any breakouts during use. However, today when writing this review, a few small bumps appeared in an area where I don't usually get them. While the product has moisturizing properties, I seem to be sensitive to the pore-clogging ingredients.
ConsI really love herbal, grassy scents, but this product has a very strong, almost bitter herbal fragrance. It took me a few days to get used to it, so those who prefer artificial fragrances should take note. Although this soothing essence claims to have whitening and wrinkle-improving functions, I couldn't really tell the difference after a week of use. The thick texture leaves a somewhat sticky, rather than a soft, finish on the skin.
TipThis isn't much of a tip, but as the weather gets warmer, I've found myself gravitating more towards soothing products as the basic essentials.

The scent is a mix of rose and herbal notes, which may be divisive. It's not bad, though - it's a healthy, natural fragrance. Personally, I lean more towards liking it. When applied, it feels very moisturizing and hydrating, but after absorption, it leaves a soft, powdery finish. I think it would be great to use in the morning before makeup, as it doesn't cause any slipping or lifting of the makeup. There are a few ingredients like PEG and limonene that I was worried about, but surprisingly, it didn't cause any breakouts. I think the green tea, centella, and madecassoside components may have actually helped reduce my closed comedones. Quite remarkable! I plan to continue using this product, and I recommend it.
ConsI wish they could remove the PEG and limonene, as those are not ideal ingredients.

Thanks to the texture, it's easy to apply and absorbs quickly. ㅎㅎ Fragrance: The fragrance is a bit strong, but I'm not sensitive to fragrances and I like this kind of scent! It's the natural scent of a grassy field. ㅎㅎ But when you first apply it, it can strongly prick your nose..! Ingredients: The ingredients aren't extremely green, but they didn't cause any issues for my skin! In fact, after using this, my skin felt more moisturized and the texture improved.. ㅋㅋㅋ Efficacy: True to the description of providing moisture, when I pump and apply it, it quickly absorbs into the skin and doesn't feel sticky at all. It just quenches the skin's thirst and leaves a soft, smooth finish! So I could layer it multiple times without feeling burdened, and it just kept stacking the moisture. ㅎㅎ Overall: What I liked most is that it's an eco-friendly product, and I was worried the amount might be a bit small, but even after using it a lot for 2 weeks, there's still plenty left! So I was satisfied with the quantity as well. The effects were also great - within 3 days, my skin texture improved a lot and felt less dry. As summer is approaching, it won't feel stuffy and has a cooling sensation, so I think I can use it comfortably! (It might be a bit drying in the winter though ㅎㅎ) I recommend this product!
ConsNone! I'll definitely repurchase it 100% once I finish it. ㅎㅎ
TipWhen pumping, if you press down too hard, the contents can gush out a lot and spill. So it's better to pump it slowly. ㅎㅎ

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.ProsThe texture provides a dense, viscous feel that absorbs smoothly and silkily. The scent is a refreshing citrus aroma that feels bright and clean. Although it contains oils, it doesn't feel greasy or heavy - it applies with a rich, moisturizing feel and absorbs well when massaged into the skin. After using it for a week (morning and evening), I've used about half the bottle. As the name 'First Essence' suggests, it's a great first step in a skincare routine. The cooling sensation is perfect for soothing flushed, heated skin in the summer. The high-quality ingredients make my skin feel smoother as I apply it. While I usually prefer very watery, layerable formulas for my dry skin, this essence's fluid but dense texture still provides satisfying hydration and a fresh finish.
ConsThe volume seems a bit small. While the quality of the ingredients justifies the price, it goes by quickly. I'm not sure about the brightening effects.
TipThis is definitely a remarkable product that instantly cools and calms the skin - it's a must-have for summer. As someone with dehydrated skin, I find that layering it two or three times allows it to provide the benefits of a toner, essence, and even a light moisturizer all in one step.

But it's more on the dry side, so I have to apply products like essences, serums, and ampoules. In that regard, I was generally satisfied with the Jeju Dampalsu First Soothing Essence! ✔️Texture - The essence has a just-right consistency, not too watery or thick. ✔️Scent - Personally, I felt the scent was like a mix of citrus peel and rapeseed flower? It was naturally subtle and I was satisfied with it :-) ✔️Application - It spreads easily and absorbs quickly. After applying the essence, my skin felt pleasantly plump and supple! ✔️Irritation - The product did not irritate my skin at all, it seems very gentle. Normally, I get redness and stinging when using new products, but this one didn't cause any irritation and instead had a soothing effect🙂 This is a lightweight essence that's not burdensome in the warming summer. The finish isn't too sticky, and it absorbs quickly, making it easy to apply. And the pump format, rather than a dropper, was convenient to use.
ConsI have extremely severe inner dryness, and since the formula is slightly on the lighter side, I didn't get a completely saturating moisture feeling. But the previous skin unevenness and flaking around my cheeks and mouth area were completely gone, so I was generally satisfied!
TipAt first, I was a bit startled when the pump dispensed a sudden gush, but if you're careful to control the amount, it should be fine! And for those of you like me with very severe inner dryness, layering it on twice or so makes a significant difference!
