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!

After being selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, it arrived within 3 days, and I was amazed at how quick the shipping was...! The watery texture applied well, and although it felt a bit tacky, it absorbed quickly and felt comfortable.
ConsThe fragrance is a bit disappointing. While it is a signature scent, I found it to have a slightly sour note for me. And the ingredients are a letdown. There were as many as 4 caution ingredients, and because of that, my skin felt a bit itchy after applying it. 🥲🥲 It seems it just didn't agree with my skin.

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.

It gets absorbed into the skin in just a few minutes after application. - I didn't feel any skin irritation! This product contains 20 irritant ingredients and allergen ingredients, so I was worried it might irritate my skin, but it was an unnecessary concern! It doesn't irritate the skin at all 🤗
Cons- It was a bit drying for me ㅠㅠ - The scent is quite unusual (a greenish scent...?)
TipIf you use the essence and cream together, you won't experience dryness!

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

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.

The moment it's applied, the scent dissipates, and it's almost fragrance-free after application. The texture is thinner than an ampoule but stickier than a toner. It applies well. After applying it to the skin, it feels moist and absorbs quickly. After absorption, there's no oily feeling, but a moisturized sensation remains, and the skin feels slightly tacky when touched. It doesn't spread easily when pushed, but has a slightly sticky feel. However, it doesn't make the hair stick excessively. It would likely suit dry skin types well if the cream is not too rich, but could potentially be drying otherwise. It would suit oily skin types well due to the reduced sticky, oily feel. It has minimal oil but is still moisturizing. Those who prefer a refreshing finish would likely enjoy this style. I have sensitive, dehydrated, oily skin. There are no sensitive areas. This product would likely work better in the summer than winter. --------Review after over a month of use-------------------- It manages dryness better than expected. It's not sticky but also not drying. I'm curious to see how it would work in the winter as well.
ConsThe pump could be softer. It's difficult to dispense the desired amount, as pressing hard causes it to shoot out far, while pressing lightly only releases a small amount.
TipI applied a moisturizing toner, then an essence, and finished with a low-oil, high-moisture lotion and cream.

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.ProsHere is a review after using it once in the evening. Absorption: After applying the toner, when I applied it to my skin, there was a slight stickiness for a few seconds, but it was absorbed immediately and there was no discomfort at all. Even though I have an oily skin type, there was not a single greasy feeling. There was no tingling or irritating sensation on my skin. Fragrance: The fragrance had a forest-like scent, which I really liked. There may be some who like or dislike it, but the subtle fragrance lingered nicely even after application. Usage Review: I used it in the evening before bed, and the stickiness, irritation, and fragrance were all suitable for me. The only thing that may be a matter of personal preference is the fragrance, but the moisture was maintained to a certain degree, and the subtle fragrance in the evening was nice, so I would recommend it to those with oily skin.
ConsPersonally, I didn't have any disappointments at all. As I mentioned above, the fragrance is like a forest scent, so it should be fine for those who don't mind this type of fragrance.
