Pros
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.

Pros
1. Texture The formula is densely concentrated, but it is not heavy, which I liked. 2. Spreadability Although the formula is concentrated, it does not feel like it sits on top of the skin or feels heavy. It applies smoothly and absorbs quickly into the skin, which is a great advantage. 3. Absorption After applying the serum and then the essence, I felt that the skin absorbed the products well, leaving a supple and radiant appearance. The essence absorbed into the skin nicely, without any sticky residue, which I appreciated. 4. Moisture Balance The formula has just the right balance of oil and moisture. It is not overly thick or thin, so there were no concerns about breakouts or a tight feeling after application. 5. Fragrance The fragrance is not overpowering, but those who do not typically enjoy herbal scents may want to consider this before purchasing. *Overall Evaluation* The product arrived neatly packaged and looked premium, as it is made of glass. The pump dispenser allows for hygienic application, which is a positive feature.
Cons
While I did not encounter any issues during use, the product contains 20 types of caution ingredients and allergens, so it would be advisable to review the list carefully before purchasing.

Pros
The texture is somewhere between a creamy and watery formula? I'd say it's a concentrated liquid type. The spreadability is really nice and absorbs well into the skin~ Absorption: It absorbs nicely and dense, and it suits me really well so I've been using it a lot^^ Moisturizing: The moisturizing is good too, and when I apply it at night and wake up in the morning, my skin still feels moisturized to some degree. My skin used to be dry and rough, but this cream has solved the dryness issue, so I've been using it regularly. I won the 50ml trial size, and I'm extremely satisfied with it. I'm very happy with it^^
Cons
It says there are allergen ingredients and 20 cautionary ingredients. But it suits me really well. Maybe it's because my skin doesn't tend to have issues. It doesn't sting at all, and I've been using it well~ I'll show you before and after photos of my skin with and without using it^^

Pros
The packaging feels like it's geared more towards mothers' cosmetics. I got the impression that it's packed with a lot of nutrients. It applies well and doesn't cause any breakouts! It seems to focus more on nourishment rather than hydration. The moisture doesn't last too long, but the plumpness is nice.
Cons
The smell... it has a traditional herbal scent, and the hydration isn't quite enough. After using the ampoule, I definitely need to apply a moisturizer on top. I got to use it as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, but if I had to buy it with my own money, I'm not sure if I would.

Pros
1. Appropriate amount for pumping The appropriate amount comes out with one pump, enough to cover half of the face, and the pumping mechanism allows for hygienic use! 2. Good spreadability When applied, it has the feel of a concentrated essence with a moisture-to-oil ratio of 8:2, resulting in an incredibly smooth and soft application. 3. Moisturizing effect Unlike when first applied, after absorption, it has a 6:4 oil-to-moisture ratio, providing long-lasting hydration and a deeply quenched feeling. Reduced inner dryness! 4. Minimal stickiness While it provides hydrating moisture after application, there is minimal stickiness, making it comfortable to go about your day after use.
Cons
1. Slow absorption It takes a few minutes, not just one, for it to be fully absorbed. 2. Artificial fragrance Being an anti-aging essence, it does have a somewhat artificial cosmetic fragrance.
Tip
After applying it before bed, it would be great to spread the remaining product on your hands down to your collarbone area!

Pros
※ Spreadability It has a dense texture and spreads very well.^^ ※ Absorption It absorbs quickly as soon as I apply it, which I really liked! ※ Moisturizing Power Unless you have extremely dry skin, I think you'll be satisfied with this moisturizing power~
Cons
※ Price The price is a bit higher than expected, so I wouldn't recommend purchasing it unless it's on sale. ※ Fragrance The fragrance is one-note, so if you dislike that particular scent, I wouldn't recommend it. It's also not recommended for those sensitive to fragrances.~ ※ Ingredients I was a bit surprised when I looked at the ingredients, but luckily it didn't cause any trouble or side effects on my skin. However, the ingredients could use some improvement.
Tip
It's best to apply it in 2 layers!

Pros
Spreadability & Absorption - The texture is not too thin, but rather dense, which was the first thing I liked. (It has a slightly runny viscosity) I was able to lightly apply it all over my face with just one pump, and it spread smoothly and absorbed well, which I liked. Since my skin is on the sensitive side, products that don't agree with me tend to make my skin turn red and swell up, but this didn't cause any redness or swelling, so I was happy that it suited my skin type. I first cleanse my face, then lightly wipe it with a toner pad, and then apply the ampoule, essence, and cream. The application routine varies day-to-day, but if I'm experiencing a lot of skin troubles, I layer on multiple products to really moisturize my skin. After wiping with the pad, I apply 4 pumps of the essence, which leaves my skin feeling nicely hydrated. Packaging - It has the feel of my mom's skincare products, but looks more premium.
Cons
The product is good, but the herbal scent felt a bit strong to me. This may be because I'm more used to fragrance-free products. When I first applied it, the scent was quite strong, but it faded a bit over time. Even the people around me could tell I was wearing a herbal skincare product.

Pros
The texture is dense and the application is quite smooth. It provides a plump and nourished feeling on the skin. There is minimal heaviness or stickiness upon application. No irritation either.
Cons
The formula is a bit thick and heavy in application, so it may not be suitable for oily skin types or summer use. The product packaging is on the heavier side. There may be a slight polarizing effect in terms of preference, but it's not overly bothersome.
Tip
As it can be a bit oily, it's recommended to use this as part of your nighttime skincare routine rather than during the day.

Pros
● Moisturizing Power I was able to see the moisturizing effect until the next day just by applying one essence. The formula is very moisturizing and may feel sticky, but it should be good to use until the middle of summer. ● Efficacy It contains fermented collagen and saponins, and it seems to have a strong lifting effect, which is good for anti-aging. If used consistently, it seems to be good for skin care. ● Absorption Even though it's a rich essence, it doesn't sit on the surface and absorbs well into the skin with good spreadability.
Cons
○ Fragrance I was okay with it, but after using it for a while, the fragrance reminds me of my mom's cosmetics. If you dislike the herbal scent, you may find it unpleasant. It's close to the herbal image of the Chogongjin line, so I can understand it, but it may be divisive. ○ Price The price point feels like a high entry barrier for purchasing individually. While it's made with good ingredients, the overall price of Missha brand cosmetics seems to have increased due to their premiumization trend. Even though the essence isn't extremely expensive, if there's no compelling reason to get this specific product, it may be difficult to choose.

Pros
The formula has a thick, viscous texture like mucus, and the spreadability, texture, and overall feel are all soft and moisturizing, which I really like! As soon as I apply it, I can feel the right amount of moisture and oil being absorbed into my skin, leaving it nourished. The rich texture also seems to have improved the appearance of my fine lines. Considering the affordable price, this product seems to offer great value for money.😊
Cons
It feels a bit heavy for my normal skin type. This product might be better suited for dry skin types, especially during the winter rather than summer. The strong ginseng scent is also quite polarizing, and many people may not like it. Since using this product, I've developed some skin issues, but I'm not sure if it's the cause or something else.🥲
Tip
Using this product with a galvanic device can make your skin look radiant.😊
