Pros
Skin type: oily, acne (occasional small bumps, occasional pustules), warm-toned 23, large T-zone blackheads & pores (Review after 7 days of use) Texture & Application: The texture is closer to a toner than an essence. It is transparent and has good spreadability. Absorption & Hydration: Since it is heavier than a toner, it may not absorb as easily. You need to pat it in well. While not as hydrating as a lotion or moisturizer, it provides good hydration for an essence. Breakouts & Acne: One of the concerns for acne-prone skin is wanting to address both blemishes and pigmentation. Typically, functional skincare products with ingredients for brightening and anti-aging can be heavy and cause breakouts. This essence, however, did not cause my face to flare up with cystic acne after application. That said, I did notice a slight increase in small bumps, but I'm unsure if that's due to the warmer weather lately. I'll need to use it for longer to know for sure.
Cons
Usability: The absorption seems good, but there is a slightly sticky finish. As an oily-skinned person, I prefer a more powdery, non-greasy feel, especially in the summer. This essence leaves a bit of a tacky sensation on the skin after application. It's better to wait until it fully absorbs before applying a moisturizer or lotion. Efficacy: I tend to have some facial flushing, but this product doesn't have a cooling effect, so I didn't experience any soothing or calming sensation after use. Additionally, since I've only been using it for a week, I haven't noticed any visible brightening effects (improvement in skin tone or fading of blemishes). I'll need to use it for longer to evaluate the results and update my review accordingly. Packaging: After use, some product tends to get left around the dispenser, so I have to wipe it down frequently, which doesn't seem very hygienic compared to some other toners and serums I've used.
Tip
I only applied the product in the evenings, excluding the first day. Since my skin type is oily and summer is approaching, applying it during my morning skincare routine made my makeup feel heavy and difficult to absorb... Additionally, I've heard that products with brightening functions are better suited for nighttime use, so I'm currently only using this essence in the evenings.

Pros
* Used daily in the morning and evening, with the cotton pad soaked. - Leaves a moisturized finish (may feel heavy for oily skin) - No significant irritation on the skin
Cons
- Feels sticky, which could be burdensome in the summer - Didn't notice any visible changes, though this may be due to the short usage period - Plastic packaging feels a bit flimsy
Tip
The texture is like a viscous toner, so I used it by soaking the cotton pad. Even though I have sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation. However, since I only used it for a short time, I didn't notice any significant effects. I'll leave another review after finishing the entire bottle :)

Pros
The product had a good amount of volume. It had marine collagen ingredients, which was good. It was a whitening and wrinkle-improving product, which was good.
Cons
As a first serum, the volume was quite large, but the case was made of plastic, so it felt like a nail remover. It would be better if you could change the case to glass and make it a dropper type. Plastic will likely leach endocrine disruptors, which is worrying. The fragrance also had an unpleasant, stale plastic-like smell, which was disappointing. And as a light-type essence, it lacked sufficient moisture after use, so it had a sticky feeling, making it better suited for winter use rather than summer.
Tip
Since the product lacks moisture, you can apply it in layers. But if you apply too much, it will become sticky. However, since the volume is large, you can also use it on dry body parts.

Pros
I'm the type who always checks the Hwahae Trial Reviewer before buying or wishlisting a product. The best part was definitely the lack of harmful ingredients, and I liked how the scent was subtly present when first applied, then faded away to a non-irritating fragrance as I spread it out. The smooth application also felt great.
Cons
First, I temporarily stopped using my regular products and only used this essence morning and night. As someone with some blemishes and flaky skin, applying it two to three times on the rough areas really helped calm the flakiness, and my skin stayed smooth all day. However, there was a slight stickiness to the feel, though that didn't bother me too much. I think it would feel a bit fresher in the summer.
Tip
Overall, I was satisfied with the ingredients and application, but I think using a bit less than the recommended amount would be better to avoid any stickiness or absorption issues.
