It was an unfamiliar brand, but upon research, I discovered it was launched by the former CEO of Mi*, a company that once led the trend in roadshop cosmetics. Attracted by its affordable price and rich ingredients, I decided to try the essence. *Usage period March 20, 2025 - May 2, 2025 (current) *Texture Though called an essence, it's more of a treatment-type toner. Almost no viscosity is felt. *Color and Scent Transparent, colorless, and odorless. *How to use After cleansing, as the first step, apply with a cotton pad or with hands. Personally, I gently patted it into my skin with my palms, as I sometimes feel irritation from cotton pads. *Application and absorption Despite its colorless and odorless formulation, which might suggest it only provides momentary hydration, you'll find it surpasses expectations when applied. It's moisturizing without being sticky, and the hydration lasts long without feeling heavy. *Overall review I've used about 70% of the product and plan to repurchase. Both the ingredients and price are truly reasonable. Checking the full ingredient list, you'll find Bifida Ferment Lysate, Damask Rose Flower Water, Butylene Glycol, and Niacinamide at the top. It's effective for hydration and brightening. Consistent use seems beneficial.
ConsIt suits my skin well, so I don't have any complaints. However, for those concerned about dryness, there are products with stronger moisturizing ingredients than this one. I'd recommend a cream essence for such cases.
TipRecommendedIt's best to keep the container clean. If spilled on the sides, it can leave white niacinamide powder residue later.

It really evens out my skin texture and doesn't cause any irritation.
ConsRecommendedThere wasn't anything particularly bad about it. It just feels clean, you know? And I didn't experience any blemishes.

Being a fermented formula that can also be used as a first essence, my expectations were high. It definitely delivers on improving skin texture, and I love how it keeps my skin feeling hydrated!
ConsRecommendedIt seems like even though different brands use fermented ingredients with the same name, there are slight differences between them. I think what's really important is finding the fermented formula that works best for your skin.

Using it this way definitely leaves my skin more hydrated. It's also affordable, so I'm planning to stick with this as my go-to toner.
ConsRecommendedFor this price and these ingredients, there's nothing to complain about. I just hope they keep selling it without raising the price...

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsPatting it on with your hands works better than using cotton pads. I think it's because it's an essence. It's fragrance-free and has a runny texture, making it easy to apply and quick to absorb. The price is unbeatable! That's its best feature.
ConsI don't really have any complaints. I'm just writing this because I have to mention a downside, haha!
TipRecommendedWhen my skin needs extra hydration, I soak half a cotton pad generously and apply it - it really makes my skin feel firm and supple. I also recommend transferring some to a mist bottle and keeping it in the fridge. It's super convenient and helps cool down your skin. It seems to soothe and hydrate your face well after you've been sweating a lot.

The ingredients are clean and good, and it suits my skin well.
ConsSince it's a clear, transparent formula, you need to be careful with the amount when opening the cap and using it, or it might spill.
TipRecommendedOn days when my skin isn't at its best, I soak a cotton pad generously with the essence and use it as a mask.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a soothing boosting essence that can be used gently. Even for very sensitive skin, it makes the skin smooth and supple without causing any trouble. The fragrance is not too strong, and there is no stickiness, so there is no burden in skincare. However, it is not a watery toner either. It is also affordable, so you can scoop it up and apply it by hand. If you have sensitive skin, do not use cotton pads, but try this. I think I know what the target is for this, so if galactomyces suits you well, give it a try.
ConsAffordable price, no stickiness, but it's not great. Since it can be seen online, it's a shame that you can't test it directly and purchase it. That's regrettable. Just going by instinct to order it, and if it doesn't fit, it becomes a problem. How unfortunate.
TipRecommendedThey have small sales every month. The prices are affordable, so it would be good to try out the functional products to use together.
