It seems that the product is no longer available when I tried to purchase it again.
It is also not visible on the official website.

It wasn't sticky and the ingredients were fine, so I was satisfied using it.

아쿠아 프로틴 워터 오일 에센스

Applying the product when the hair is sufficiently wet after shampooing and before drying prevents the hair from becoming sticky and allows for faster absorption.

The product lacks the nourishment and radiance typically associated with an essence.

If you're looking for a non-sticky, mild water-based oil, I'd recommend this product.
This is a review after using the 2 bottles I purchased during the event period.
Please note that my hair is significantly damaged as I've had a lot of bleaching in the past, leaving the ends with bleached hair, and my entire head is like a fried afro.
This is a fairly unremarkable water-based oil - it's not exceptionally great, but it doesn't have any major downsides either.
It lacks the richness of an essence, but it's not as heavy as a typical oil.
While it absorbs well, don't expect it to add a lot of shine or nourishment to your hair.
The scent is subtle and inoffensive - not a floral fragrance. It's not a bad product to try, but I'm not sure if I would repurchase it unless it's heavily discounted.

The one on the left is the essence, and the one on the right is the water oil essence. The water oil essence formula is a bit more oily, but it's still suitable for use in the summer. Depending on the weather and the condition of your hair, it's best not to press down too hard on the pump from the start. Gently squeeze it out and adjust the amount as you apply it.

There's really nothing I'm disappointed with. The fragrance is not unpleasant and it's not too strong either.

I used to use a tube-type essence, but I didn't like how inconvenient it was to open and close the lid, and the formula was too runny and hard to control. That's why I switched to a pump type, and I really like it. The amount is easy to control, and it's not too oily. Since my hair is long, I need to apply a hair essence even in the middle of summer, and this works great for that.

Hmm...nothing negative to say.
Plus, I bought it at a great price, so I'm very satisfied.
It's the best!! 👍

I highly recommend this product.
I used to have a lot of split ends, but after using this, it has really improved.
I don't even need to use conditioner anymore now. 
By the way, my hair is very long, thick, and voluminous!
It doesn't feel sticky or greasy at all.

There is no dramatic effect. It is a bit on the watery side, so quantity adjustment is necessary.

I first purchased it because the ingredients were not bad. After using it, I liked that it did not feel greasy.

The fragrance is strange.
It's also difficult to wipe off the essence that gets on my hands.

My hair instantly feels soft and smooth! It doesn't feel sticky at all, which is great.

Most hair products are generally similar, but if you apply it to damp hair, blow-dry, and then apply it again to dry hair, your hair will feel incredibly soft.
Just a quick brush through.
Using a protein bond ampoule on damp hair can also be very beneficial.

I usually use the Hair Plus line and really enjoy the Aqua Protein line, from the Water Treatment to the Water Essence.
The Aqua Protein line has a sweet fragrance that I really like, so I often use those products.
I hadn't used a hair oil in a while, but I recently felt like using one again, so I decided on this essence.
The only reason was the fragrance!
While I can still detect the sweet scent I enjoy, compared to other products in the same line, the fragrance seems to dissipate quite quickly after application.
That's the only aspect I'm a bit disappointed about.

As the name 'Water Oil Essence' suggests, it absorbs very lightly into the skin.
The fluid-like texture makes it easy to control the amount.
It definitely doesn't leave a greasy residue.
But if you apply too much, it can make your hair feel heavy.
Use the right amount and adjust the application accordingly.
When I first tried it, the product had a white, spherical texture, which I was told was due to the protein content.
I was satisfied to see that it contained nourishing ingredients that help manage hair texture.

- The fragrance is a bit disappointing!
To be honest, there aren't really any major downsides, but if I had to pick one, it's just not quite my preference 😢 It seems a bit artificial, so I wish the fragrance was a bit more subtle, but it's a bit too strong for my liking...

- It's really lightweight!
I've always just used hair oil, but this is so watery and lightweight, it's amazing! It also calms my hair nicely!

There's nothing disappointing. It seems to be a lifelong hair essential, and I plan to continue using it.

It's not greasy and has plenty of moisture, so there's no static electricity either!!!

I recommend using this with the Hair Plus Protein Ampoule.
The combination provides a better application experience, with no residue left on the hands and the product spreading well into the hair.
The ampoule's own scent tends to overpower the essence's fragrance.
It's best to use this when the hair is less dry.
When used after drying the hair, the continuous stiff feeling may be due to applying it to the dry, moisture-lacking hair.

The thin formula tends to flow easily, so you need to be careful not to let it drip.
The scent is somewhat ambiguous, not quite matching the 'Aqua' name, even though it's less artificial than the previous formulation.
The effect is not dramatically noticeable, just moderately less stiff or tangled.
There is a slight oily residue left on the hands after the hair has absorbed the product. It's not sticky, but the absorption into the hair seems a bit less.

The formula is lightweight compared to other oils, so it doesn't feel heavy.
It applies comfortably and lightly.
After use, it doesn't tangle the dry, frizzy hair during brushing.

I'm already quite satisfied as it is, so there's really nothing I'm dissatisfied with.

I've tried the entire Aqualine line and even the Protein Bond line, but this essence seems to be the least sticky and absorbs most smoothly, so I'm repurchasing it!
