I use the sample a lot because there are many, and I really like it. I even like the scent. In fact, it feels odd without it.
Cons
I'm not sure about the brightening effect, but it feels nice and moisturizing.

This is really well-absorbed and I'm using it very well. I've found that Sulwhasoo suits my skin very well.
Cons
The downside is certainly the price. However, Sulwhasoo delivers on its high price point, so there's really no major complaint.

The essence formulation provides a full, moisturizing feel, leaving the skin feeling pleasantly hydrated.
Cons
There's really nothing disappointing about it. I think I'll use it frequently.

A subtle, unobtrusive direction. It has a light, lotion-like texture, yet a slightly rich, nourishing feel.
Cons
There's not much moisture, so after applying this and it's fully absorbed, there's a slightly dry sensation.

First of all, my face looks brighter and has a plump, supple feel, which I really like.
Cons
There's nothing particularly bad, but the price is a bit high, so aside from that, I couldn't find any other downsides.

It applies smoothly without stickiness, absorbs instantly, and leaves behind a pleasant lingering fragrance.
Cons
It's quite drying and has a tendency to spread out a lot when applied, which may divide opinions due to its traditional herbal scent reminiscent of old-fashioned cosmetics. I didn't see much effect in terms of firmness and brightening.

It's not quite a serum, as it's opaque and viscous, but it's also not quite a lotion, as it flows smoothly... It's an ambiguous texture that's tricky to place in a skincare routine. However, when you apply it, the texture responds to body temperature and becomes less viscous, absorbing smoothly into the skin. It manages to address some dryness while providing a subtle oily finish, rather than leaving the skin feeling heavily moisturized. If your skin is well-balanced in terms of moisture and oil, this could work well as a standalone product.
Cons
~Detailed reasons why I found the texture ambiguous~ I typically use a layered approach of water-based ampoule essences followed by a cream moisturizer, and in the mornings I just use an essence. 1. Using this in the morning would leave an unnecessary oily residue in the current weather. 2. Using it at night feels awkward, as I would need additional hydration before applying this, but putting a rich cream on top would be too much. So for now, I've set it aside... I think I'll take it out again during the transitional seasons when it might be more suitable.

The fragrance is very Sulwhasoo-like, and it has a moderate level of moisturizing power.
Cons
I'm not sure about the brightening effects, and I think using vitamin C would be more effective.

Skin Type: Severely Dehydrated, Sensitive Although it has more of a lotion-like texture than a serum, it was great - no stickiness, refreshing and moisturizing. It absorbs quickly, so it's fine to use even in the summer. It's gentle and non-irritating, and I felt like my skin became plump and bouncy as soon as I applied it. The subtle ginseng scent is not overbearing. It also seems to balance the oil and moisture levels well. There's not as much oil as I expected, which I liked. If you're looking for a hydrating, brightening anti-aging serum, this is worth trying.
Cons
I think it would have been even better if it was fragrance-free. I hope Sulwhasoo comes out with an unscented version in the future!

The essence formula was moisturizing enough that it could be used like a lotion after applying the basic skincare steps. The lightweight, non-sticky texture was suitable even for oily skin types.
Cons
I purchased this thinking it would be a typical essence formula, but the texture was different from what I had expected. If you're looking for a watery serum, I would recommend the Jaum Saeng Ampoule instead.
