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!
ConsI 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.
TipMy 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.

There is occasional redness and blemishes. 🐽Fragrance True to its herbal cosmetic nature, it has a familiar scent. I've been familiar with this fragrance since childhood, as my mother has always used herbal cosmetics. So I used it without any burden. It's not a fragrance I particularly love, so it was just average. 💧Texture/Application It's a slightly viscous essence. When applied to the skin, it doesn't feel overly sticky and absorbs at a decent pace. 🆒️Skin Elasticity Improvement It's said that heat is a cause of loss of skin elasticity. This product is said to reduce heat, allowing for a lifting effect. This is a skin concern that women in their 30s and beyond are interested in, so I was particularly hopeful about this benefit. I haven't yet noticed a significant improvement in elasticity, but the redness on my skin does seem to be somewhat reduced right after application. 🚿Hydration and Moisturization The intense dryness was quickly alleviated after application. It seems to be a well-moisturizing product. 🎁Packaging Design/Container The packaging is luxurious and the container is pretty. It would also make a nice gift for adults.
Cons😅Needs Cream Pairing To fully experience the effects of the essence, it's recommended to use the cream from the same line as well. Since purchasing both products at once isn't particularly affordable, I'm noting this as a downside. 😅There is some itchiness While the itchiness is gone now after about a week, there was some itchiness for the first 3-4 days right after application.

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.
ConsFragrance: 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.

The fragrance has a traditional herbal scent, but it's not as strong as my mom's cosmetics - it's a slightly fragrant (?) herbal scent. In my case, I felt this level of herbal scent was quite acceptable. Despite being a thick and dense essence, it spreads well when applied and doesn't feel heavy, with a nice moisturizing effect. After using the product, my makeup applies well without any caking or slipping.
ConsAs I have oily skin, the product may be causing some irritation around my T-zone, and small bumps have appeared all over. It might be difficult for me to use this product long-term. The absorption seems a bit slow, but once I work it in thoroughly, it leaves a smooth finish without any residue. However, it feels a bit drying when used alone.
