  Pros

  The formula has a lot of moisture and a light texture, so it applies smoothly and feels very hydrating. However, it's not so thin that it drips when pumped onto the back of the hand. I have a dry skin type with just a bit of oiliness in the T-zone, and this serum was able to balance my moisture levels well, addressing dehydration without making me feel greasy. During the hot summer, I would skip the final moisturizer and just use this serum to finish my skincare routine, and even on weekends when I slept in, my skin wouldn't feel tight or oily until around 11 AM the next day. When my skin's moisture balance gets disrupted, even if I use a cream to finish, my skin can feel a bit rough and greasy the next morning after cleansing. While the price is quite steep, the product itself is very satisfying to use.

  Cons

  I'm sensitive to fragrance, so at first the strong perfume-like scent startled me a bit. But it becomes more familiar as you apply it, and the fragrance dissipates quickly with almost no lingering. The only downside is the very high price point, which is why I had to deduct a star.

  Tip

  A helpful tip - during the summer months (July-August), a 100ml size is available! I remember the price being around 190,000 won, and compared to the 30ml size, the larger volume is definitely the better value, no matter how you look at it. Unfortunately, this bigger size is only offered in the summer - the rest of the year, it's only available in the standard 30ml.
