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
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
As a 40-year-old with very dry skin, I can say that this product has a rich and thick feel to it. The oriental fragrance is also quite strong, and the texture feels substantial. While it's not overly sticky, I did find it lacking a bit in terms of moisture and hydration for my needs. However, it's not a bad product overall. After using it for a little over 2 weeks, I'm not sure about the firming effects yet, but my skin does seem to have a healthy glow when I apply it. Those who dislike strong scents may not enjoy this one due to the potent fragrance.
Cons
The only downside I can think of is the fragrance, which is quite strong. If the scent could be toned down a bit, it would be an improvement.
Tip
I found that I couldn't use this essence on its own - my very dry skin needed additional hydration first. So I apply a hydrating essence beforehand, let it fully absorb, and then use this product. I also follow up with a cream, which helps lock in the moisture. This routine works well for me without causing any issues. Lately, with the warmer weather, I've been using lighter cream formulas and only applying the heavier creams about once a week, but I still make sure to give this essence enough time to be properly absorbed. I only use this product in the evenings, not during the day.

Pros
It was good that it could be applied evenly without being too oily or watery. Most importantly, I was worried about the scent, but it had a subtle fragrance that I really liked, so I could apply it consistently.
Cons
The only downside is that the price is high considering how good it is, but other than that, there's nothing else.
Tip
After using the toner to cleanse, I pumped the essence about 2 times and applied it, then applied the moisturizer and went to sleep. The next day, I could really feel my skin becoming firmer.

Pros
My skin type is dry, but no matter what cosmetics I apply, I don't get any breakouts!! This product was the one I was really looking forward to after winning it. I carefully researched the ingredients online out of curiosity! Although it's supposed to be a firming product, I haven't really noticed much difference in the week I've been using it. It's an essence, but it's very moisturizing, so my skin feels hydrated after applying it. The scent is like a traditional herbal product, which I really like!! I think this would make a great gift for my mom!
Cons
The absorption could be better. It's good to apply before bed, but it takes a while to absorb, so it's a bit of a hassle to use before makeup. And the herbal scent might be a hit or miss for some people.

Pros
I was selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program and this is my review after using the product. First of all, despite being a Korean herbal product, the scent was not overpowering and I liked it. The texture was just right - not too watery and not too thick, with a pleasant tackiness. After about a week of use, my forehead started to have a healthy glow. (This is a personal experience) I have a dry skin type, but I didn't feel excessively dry even when using this product alone.
Cons
My skin type is dry. So far, I don't have any major complaints about this product. I've only been using it for about 2 weeks, and I'll add any issues that come up later.

Pros
A product with an elegant design that would make a great gift for a friend. The texture was rich and creamy, absorbing well into the skin with a velvety, slightly luminous finish. The strong ginseng fragrance, typical of traditional Korean herbal cosmetics, was satisfying as I don't mind and quite enjoy this scent. After using it for a few days, my sensitive skin felt nourished, supple, and moisturized without any irritation. It seems to be a good product that my sensitive skin has adapted to well, though I'll need to use it more to fully assess its effects.
Cons
The only potential downside is that during the summer, when people may prefer a more refreshing product, this rich, creamy formula could feel a bit heavy and sticky in very hot weather. Some users may find the texture unpleasant in those conditions.

Pros
🤎This is a nourishing and firming essence, but the moment you apply it to your skin, you can feel the nourishment surging through your skin. When you touch your skin, it feels bouncy and radiant, and the dullness is replaced by a healthy glow. 🤎When you think of a nourishing essence, you might expect it to be sticky, but after applying it, there is only a slight stickiness that quickly disappears. Even those who dislike stickiness will likely find this product easy to use. 🤎The fragrance has a hint of traditional Korean red ginseng, but it is not overpowering. Instead, it has a sophisticated aroma that enhances the experience, making you feel good.
Cons
There were no particular downsides. (I plan to upload before and after photos of the skin after applying the product later.)
Tip
If you are looking for a firming essence that gives you a luxurious spa-like experience, I would recommend this product. 👍🏻👍🏻

Pros
It's not as one-directional as you might think! It's also suitable for use by those in their 20s and 30s. When applied, it leaves behind a moisturized feeling, not sticky but rather supple and hydrated. It doesn't make deep wrinkles disappear, but it can temporarily soften fine lines. I think you'll really appreciate its true value after using it for a while.
Cons
It feels a bit heavy on my oily skin 😢 And those sensitive to fragrance might not like it. I'd recommend this to those looking for a more hydrating essence rather than a lightweight one!
Tip
Applying this essence after a moisturizer works well for those with dry skin!

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.
