Pros
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.

Pros
I was able to try out the Hwahae Trial Reviewer event. My skin type is close to dry combination. However, in spring and summer, I tend to have more sebum and oiliness. So lately, I've been using mainly moisturizing essences and moisturizing creams. When I first saw the bottle, it looked heavy and premium, and it turned out to be the Missha brand?! As for the positives, since I've only used it for less than 2 weeks, I'm honestly not sure about the anti-wrinkle and whitening effects. The scent is not unpleasant and has a pleasant fragrance, but this too will likely be a matter of personal preference. Products with wrinkle-improving functions tend to be quite oily and thick, but this product is quite lightweight, which I liked. The viscosity is not too high, and it absorbs quite well. However, looking at the increased sebum the next morning after application, it's not a completely oil-free product. Honestly, I'll need to use it more to add any significant good effects or pros.
Cons
Since my skin is not very sensitive, I don't usually have any issues with most products. However, considering long-term use, I looked for a product with good ingredients, but the ingredients don't seem great. Especially the PEG... That's one of the reasons I can't repurchase this. And the oily types seem greasy. Compared to other essences, this product has more oil content. Even after absorption, there's a sticky feeling.
Tip
On hot days like these, try reducing the amount of oily essence you apply and add more moisture. Regardless of the season, you can lightly apply this functional essence or cream just on the eye area or laugh lines. In the winter, you can use it in conjunction with a moisturizing cream to fill in the moisture-oil balance quite well!

Pros
It is a complex skin that was once oily but has become dry. At the same time, it is also a sensitive skin, so if you use cosmetics incorrectly, the skin can get upset. Texture: The texture is viscous, making it easy to control the amount and quite nice. Fragrance: It has a traditional herbal essence fragrance, which may be divisive. Absorption and spreadability: Despite the viscous texture, the absorption is good, and it spreads nicely without feeling heavy. Packaging: It looks high-end. Overall, it feels like there is a balance of oil and moisture, which is not bad.
Cons
Fragrance: It's a bit divisive, so I liked it at times and disliked it at other times. Price: It's much more expensive than I expected. There is a bit more oil, so my skin ended up getting itchy, and some blemishes popped up. It feels a bit heavy to use in the morning, so I'd recommend using it in the evening. I don't recommend it for oily skin.

Pros
The texture was not too runny or too thick, so the application was smooth. Among the Korean herbal products I've tried, the absorption was also quite good. As a combination skin type, the product was more oily than moisturizing, so I only applied it at night as it felt too heavy in the morning. However, the moisturizing power was great, so it would likely be better suited for dry skin types. I didn't notice much of a whitening effect, but the wrinkle improvement seemed somewhat effective, though I'm not sure if it's just temporary.
Cons
A few days later, the small blemishes around my mouth that appeared on the first day went away, but I suspect it was due to the oiliness. The scent... While it's understandable for a Korean herbal product, the fragrance was too strong and noticeable every time I applied it, which was disappointing. The glass container was also too heavy and the grip wasn't comfortable, making it inconvenient to use.

Pros
🧡 Skin Type I have combination sensitive skin. I've been under a lot of stress recently, so my skin has been in a very irritated state, and it's still ongoing ㅜㅜ 💛 Texture / Packaging It's a runny essence texture! I liked the pump packaging :) It dispenses well and doesn't leak. 💚 Efficacy Thoughts on using it without looking: 1. I can really feel the plumpness. It gives a nice glow. 2. After using it for about 3 days, my skin started to feel more supple and gradually became clearer. 3. I definitely noticed brightening and whitening effects. 4. My pores also seem to have reduced, which surprised me even after a hot bath ;;; 💙 1-Week Review Photo 1 My skin a week ago without anything 2 My skin a week ago right after application 3 My skin a week later without anything (For reference, I just got out of a 1.5-hour bath, so my pores were extremely open..ㅎㅎ) 4 My skin a week later right after application 💜 I was really satisfied with this essence! I think in the summer, this alone would be enough without any dryness. Since my face was so irritated, I applied Cicabomb on top.
Cons
There is still some oiliness, so I only applied it to my cheeks when going out with makeup. At night, I applied it all over. The scent may be divisive? It has a traditional Korean medicine smell.
