Pros
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..

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
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.

Pros
It was an essence-like essence for the first time in a while! The essence was not too watery and had a noticeable density, so my skin felt like it was soaking in nicely. As a dry-skinned person, I was happy that my skin was well-hydrated! It didn't evaporate easily, but it also didn't sit on top of my skin, so my skin felt plump. I can apply it anytime, whether in the morning or at night, before makeup, and it works well, so I've been using it frequently.
Cons
Even from the appearance, it has a traditional herbal medicine-like scent, which may be polarizing. For those who dislike essences with a certain viscosity or for those with extremely oily skin, it may feel a bit greasy or heavy to use in the summer.

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 feeling of the moisturizing essence deeply penetrating my dry and rough skin was great. After sufficiently absorbing the nourishing essence, I applied the cream and it didn't feel heavy or greasy, and the moisturizing effect lasted for a long time.
Cons
It has a traditional herbal scent. Although I'm not very sensitive to scents and actually found the essence-like fragrance pleasant, this aspect may be a matter of personal preference.
Tip
While this isn't my own unique tip, I find that gently patting the skin before applying the essence helps it absorb better. Since it's a highly concentrated essence, taking 30 seconds to 1 minute to let it sink in before applying the cream seems to make the moisturizing effect last longer and the makeup go on more smoothly.

Pros
Fragrance: The fragrance is the typical herbal scent found in Korean herbal cosmetics. If you dislike the herbal fragrance, this could be a downside, but I personally enjoy the herbal scent, so it was fine for me. Moisturizing Level: I was worried that it would feel very oily like my mom's cosmetics, but the finish has an appropriate level of moisture without any stickiness. It's not completely absorbed without a trace, but there's only a slight oiliness left (not enough to transfer to the pillow). It's difficult to describe, but the finish was much better than I expected, and it seems to be suitable for a wide range of skin types from combination (except the T-zone) to dry skin. Makeup Compatibility: Since my skin type is prone to makeup slipping off, the finish worked well with my foundation. Firming Function: I'm not sure about the firming function. This was a completely unexpected product that I'm using with surprise and delight. While I shouldn't expect cosmetic products to provide firming benefits, as I've turned 30, I've been trying various products to address that need. Luckily, this essence hasn't caused any breakouts, unlike many other firming cosmetics.
Cons
Even though my sensitive skin didn't have any issues, the ingredients aren't great according to Hwahae, so you'll need to check them carefully before using. The herbal scent is quite strong, so there may be some who dislike it. It may be difficult to cover extremely dry skin types like my mother's. The packaging is too heavy.

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
👍 When pumping, the texture looked sticky, and I was worried it would feel heavy on the skin after application, but once I applied it, it absorbed quickly and didn't feel heavy at all~!! 👍 Most importantly!! For those who do matte makeup, it's fine to use this before makeup~!! I've been using lightweight serum formulas for summer, and I would sometimes feel tightness or something after makeup, but with this product, I didn't experience that at all. Instead, I just applied sunscreen (with pore primer function) directly after this, and then did my makeup. However, for those who prefer a dewy makeup look, I wouldn't necessarily recommend using this before makeup (it may come across as more oily than dewy...?). 👍 Although this is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review, if the price point works for you, I would repurchase this~!! It seems to help with skin elasticity~!!
Cons
👎The packaging is pretty and luxurious, but it's heavy ㅋㅋㅋ (I had to come up with a drawback since I couldn't think of any.)
Tip
For those in their early 30s who are concerned about skin elasticity, this product seems quite good. I definitely felt a difference in my skin's elasticity, and I'm quite sensitive to that, so in the mornings I usually apply this product, then sunscreen, and then do my matte makeup. In the evenings, I apply this and then a collagen-rich cream. Doing this, I don't experience any tightness, and my skin is super moisturized the next morning.
