There's nothing like this essence in the winter. It has a bouncy, stretchy texture that doesn't feel sticky at all and gets fully absorbed into the skin, leaving a sense of quenched dryness.
Cons
The fragrance is too strong... I think it's because it's a traditional Korean herbal product, but I'm a bit worried it might not be good for the skin..

It has a traditional herbal feel and I can feel the nutrition. There is no greasiness at all and I am using it very well.
Cons
It might be a bit heavy to apply in the morning or summer. It's fine for winter or night-time.

Before discovering this product, I thought it might be an ampoule or serum based on the product line. However, it turned out to be a lightweight lotion formulation that still provides great nourishment and hydration. Often, traditional Korean herbal cosmetics target more mature customers, so I was pleasantly surprised that this product did not feel heavy, sticky, or oily. Furthermore, using this product from the Saeng line has effectively addressed my persistent dehydration issues. Previously, I had tried various products but could never resolve the stubborn dryness. This product seems to work well not only for dry skin types but also for normal, sensitive, and slightly oily skin that experiences occasional dryness. The Saeng line is focused on elasticity, but I haven't quite noticed the effects yet, as I've only been using it for less than a month.
Cons
There isn't really anything disappointing about this product. The price range is reasonable, especially since Missha offers a 50-won monthly coupon for members, and they frequently have sales, making it a cost-effective purchase. These days, people tend to shop more at Olive Young rather than road shops, but in my personal opinion, this product is far superior to the heavily advertised items at Olive Young in terms of quality and packaging. It's quite puzzling why this product isn't more well-known.
Tip
Using this product together with other items from the Saeng line seems to have a synergistic effect. After trying it myself, the formulation has surprisingly transformed in a positive way.

The texture is incredibly smooth and absorbs really well. The packaging is also very pretty, and since it's for wrinkle improvement & whitening, my mother is using it as well.
Cons
Those sensitive to fragrance may find it a bit overbearing. But I didn't mind it at all, so it was fine for me.

This product is made using a fermentation process, creating a rejuvenating anti-aging essence! Applying the concentrated texture adds more nourishment! It's great for skin lacking in nutrients! So moisturizing! 50ml from Able C&C.
Cons
It's shocking that this contains as many as 8 allergen-causing ingredients!!!!

When applied, it has a smooth and supple feel.
Cons
After some time, it leaves a residue feeling. It has a sticky, tacky feel. I usually apply it to my face and the back of my hands, but even after washing my hands, I still feel it on my face. When I wore a mask over the applied product, the mask felt stuck to my face. It's not recommended for summer use.

This is a late review. Personally, I was busy and kept putting it off, so it got too late. Check the skin condition after 2 weeks of use. Oily combination sensitive skin. As I approach my 40s, occasional dry scalp and seborrheic dermatitis come up. Occasionally, when using incompatible cosmetics, severe acne breakouts occur. Anyway, I've had a few instances in the past where cosmetics caused problems, so I only apply it to my forehead in the evening and have no trouble. The texture is a dense essence, with a feeling of more oil. The scent is strongly herbal, but personally, it's fine. When applied in the evening, there's a slight glow and oiliness in the morning. It's not drying. After washing, it becomes dry again (haha). I think it would be good for anyone with severe dryness in their 20s-30s or from their 40s. *Immediately after application, there's a shiny, sparkling glow. *I keep it in mind as an emergency product for spring, fall, and winter. *Considering the ingredients, it doesn't cause much trouble.
Cons
It has a bit of an oily feel and absorbs slowly. It's recommended to apply it 3 hours before bedtime.

As soon as I applied it, I could really feel the strong nourishing and moisturizing effects. It seems like it would be great for dry skin (though it's almost summer... and the author's skin type isn't dry, unfortunately... haha. This was a review from someone with dry skin!).
Cons
I kind of expected it from the packaging, but the distinct herbal scent is quite strong, so I wouldn't recommend it to those who dislike that. And for oily skin types as well.
Tip
It's great to use as part of your nighttime care routine. After thorough cleansing, apply toner, serum, and then this essence - it really replenishes the skin's nourishment.

The design is simple yet the amount is quite generous. ☝️Scent: I really liked the single-note scent. ☝️Texture: A bit watery? It applies moisturizing and absorbs plumpingly. ☝️Efficacy: Being an essence, it was definitely effective in soothing the skin. I had some blemishes and redness, and it effectively calmed those down. After applying it and doing my makeup the next day, my makeup applied well. ^^
Cons
The only downside was that the scent might be divisive, but otherwise I'm completely satisfied.

I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and got to try it out!! My mom and I both used it, and while I felt it had a moisturizing essence-like effect, my mom said she really liked it!! Since it's an anti-aging product, it seems my 50-year-old mom saw more benefits than I did as a 20-something.
Cons
Hmm.. it's a bit disappointing that I didn't feel much of an effect, but my 50-year-old mom absolutely loved the moisturizing feel.
Tip
I highly recommend it as a gift!
