  Pros

  I used it with my grandmother in her 60s. In her case, as she has dry skin, the product seemed to be absorbed quickly into her skin, leaving no stickiness at all and instead giving a healthy glow...! She didn't have any aversion to the unique fragrance and was actually satisfied, saying it gave a healthy feeling. As the weather got hotter, she said just layering this essence was enough. And when I apply this product, the skin texture looks better. Judging from the packaging, fragrance, and usage, this product seems to be clearly targeted at older adults!

  Cons

  I have a sensitive, combination skin type🙆🏻‍♀️ If I do light skincare, my skin gets too dry, but if I do heavy skincare, it gets oily and itchy right away - I have a fussy skin. Since the Chogongjin line is targeted at a higher age group, it felt a bit too much for me in my 20s. The formula is bouncy and nourishing, but I felt a slight sense of heaviness and warmth.

  Tip

  My dry grandmother gave it ⭐️x5 points👍🏻 As a combination-skinned person, I gave it ⭐️x2 points👎🏻 It seems skin type is more important than age. I'd recommend it more for dry skin types than oily ones!👍🏻 Also, the cost-effectiveness is good compared to the package quality, so I'd recommend it as a gift for older adults.

  Pros

  There are moments when I realize that I've changed since my younger days, even though I don't always notice it. For example, when I get up after lying down and the imprint on my forehead from the surface I was resting on lingers for a long time. My skin may not look different on the outside, but the recovery time for any marks on my skin has significantly slowed down. That's why I was most excited about the potential for improved skin elasticity when I was selected to be a Hwahae Trial Reviewer for the Saeng-jin Essence. I usually use essences that mainly provide hydration and soothing, so I was curious to see if a firming essence would actually make a difference. To cut to the chase, I did see results. I didn't expect to see effects overnight, so I didn't pay much attention to it at first. But looking back, I realized I hadn't been worrying about the imprint from my watch on my forehead lately. I used to lie down for 10-20 minutes during the day and constantly check the mark in the mirror, but that hasn't been an issue these past few days. Just the other morning, I had a couple of blemishes on my forehead, but when I pressed on them, the marks from my nails disappeared quickly. I was amazed, thinking 'Could it be the essence?' I've used functional essences before and noticed improvements in skin texture and brighter complexion from proper hydration, but this is the first time I've visibly seen my skin's elasticity improve. The essence has a nice, lightweight texture that absorbs well, even for my dry skin. It provides just enough moisture that I don't feel the need to layer a cream on top. I think this would be sufficient on its own even in the summer for dry skin types like mine.

  Cons

  I don't like the typical herbal scent of traditional Korean essences. Not only the Saeng-jin Essence, but also my mom's Korean skincare products had a similar fragrance that I find stuffy and oppressive. The texture itself is great and not at all heavy, even for use in the warmer months. But the scent makes it feel heavy and uncomfortable to me.
