Absorption First off, the absorption is neither heavy nor light - it's just right. It absorbs quickly into the skin, and it's great for layering! 2. Balanced oil content Some products can be too dry, leading to quick dehydration, but this one seems to have a perfect balance of hydration and oil. You could say it has a well-balanced oil and moisture ratio. 3. Suitable for acne-prone skin This seems like a safe choice for those with acne-prone skin. I've been using it consistently since I received it, and I haven't experienced any new breakouts! 4. Love the pump dispenser The pump dispenser is not only very hygienic but also allows for easy dispensing of just the right amount. Personally, I prefer unscented products when it comes to emulsions. The fragrance in this one might be a bit divisive. Those sensitive to scents might want to consider this aspect. When I looked up the price, I found it to be somewhat expensive. However, given the quantity, it should last for quite a while! I recommend applying multiple layers for best results! - ha******Combination SkinAcne SkinRecommendedOct 22, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It's been extra dry lately, making things worse. This product absorbs quickly and has a thin consistency. When applied sparingly like an emulsion, it left my skin slightly dry. As it's not quite an emulsion, I mainly used it as a sleeping pack. I love its light texture that doesn't feel heavy even when applied generously, and its fresh feel. It absorbs fast without leaving residue on my pillow, which is great. Some rich products can cause pimples, but this one didn't. The scent is a bit off. They say they added cypress water, but it smells more like herbal medicine for some reason. Also, the packaging feels a bit clunky. These aspects could use some improvement. - eh**********Dehydrated SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedOct 21, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Skin type: Combination (T-zone and forehead get oily in the afternoon), currently dealing with persistent acne on cheeks for over a month, oily. My thoughts after using: 1. Scent: It has a hinoki cypress fragrance which might be hit or miss, but I absolutely love it! If you enjoy aromatherapy oil scents, you'll probably like this too. 2. Texture: It applies smoothly, feeling hydrating on the skin and absorbs quickly! 3. What I loved: I've been struggling with stubborn acne for over a month, even after trying to extract it. It was really stressing me out, but since using this product, I've noticed the acne gradually fading! While I've only been using this product, I can't say for certain it's the sole reason, but my skin has definitely improved compared to before! 4. How to check if this product suits you: Try using only this product for a few weeks without any other skincare items. This will help you determine if it's truly effective and suitable for your skin! I'm extremely satisfied with this emulsion and would definitely repurchase if I use it all up! I have absolutely no complaints about the product or its packaging! - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinRecommendedOct 21, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Texture - It's not a sticky formula. As someone with oily skin (even if you don't!), I really dislike products that feel sticky on my face, but this one finishes so refreshingly! It's neither extremely drying nor sticky, which I absolutely love! 2. Scent - I noticed many reviews disliking the scent, but personally, I enjoyed it! However, if you're not a fan of strong fragrances, you might not appreciate it. 3. Hydration - As someone with oily skin, I was very satisfied with the hydration level! For those with dry skin, if you prep your skin well with your base skincare, this should provide a nice, moisturizing finish without any issues. 4. Absorption - The absorption is really good! And just because it absorbs well doesn't mean it's not moisturizing. It's hydrating while also having great absorption. 1. Scent - While I personally loved the scent, it might be too strong for some people and could come across as artificial. Considering the ingredients, the fragrance seems overpowering, which is quite disappointing. 1. For those with dry skin, make sure to build a solid base with your skincare routine before applying this product for the best results! - th*******Oily SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsRednessRecommendedOct 21, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It's very hydrating, so a small amount spreads smoothly. + I love that it's not sticky or greasy at all, just moisturizing. It absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling fresh. + It's great that my skin clears up without any blemishes. + I'm satisfied with the case and pump. Though 2 pumps looked small, it seems to dispense the right amount. The pump design is hygienic. - While I like cypress scent, this one is too strong. It becomes subtle after a few minutes, but it's so overpowering when applying that it's off-putting. As I use it more, I'm getting used to the scent and it's starting to feel okay. I think applying a cream-type product after this would provide great hydration. I'd recommend it more for summer than winter. If you don't mind very strong fragrances, I'd recommend it... - kw****Combination SkinRecommendedOct 21, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

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.<One Week Review> Application: Not heavy, but not too light either. It feels lightweight when applied to the face, yet provides excellent hydration. Absorption: I used about two pumps to cover my face, and it absorbs well. Moisturizing effect: After using the product, I didn't experience any blemishes or redness. In fact, my skin felt cleaner. = A great product for seasonal transitions. <One Week Review> Scent: The cypress fragrance might be polarizing, but it fades within minutes after absorption. Delivery: The packaging was separated during shipping, and I felt the box used was oversized compared to the product. 1. Keep in mind it has a cypress scent when purchasing! 2. This product seems more suitable for nighttime skincare. 3. Instead of applying a thick layer at once, it's better to apply thin layers and let them absorb before adding more. - zz*****Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedOct 21, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It was quite an unfamiliar fragrance for me. - sy******Oily SkinAcne SkinAtopic SkinSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresRednessDead Skin CellsRecommendedOct 21, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Here are the highlights: - It effectively replenished the lacking moisture in my severely combination dehydrated skin (though it doesn't feel overly hydrating) - Despite being an emulsion, it's very low in oil content, making it suitable for those with oily skin - I didn't experience any blemishes or skin issues - The product advertising heavily emphasizes the cypress water, but the scent is incredibly strong... It's so intense that I worried it might be too harsh. It's the strongest fragrance I've encountered in any product I've used - While I mentioned it's not oily, it's also not exceptionally hydrating. You definitely can't use this product alone and need to apply a cream afterwards. For me, adding it to my existing routine worked perfectly - The price? Although I received this product for free, it seems a bit expensive for regular, liberal use I applied it in this order: toner, hydrating gel, cypress water emulsion, and moisturizing cream - se*****Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedOct 21, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The emulsion glides on smoothly and absorbs well, providing a satisfying burst of hydration that quickly replenishes moisture during this dry transitional season. While I don't see any significant drawbacks personally, if I had to point out one thing, it would be that the hinoki scent is quite strong. Those who are sensitive to fragrances might want to consider this carefully before making a purchase. The lightweight, hydration-packed formula makes it perfect as a finishing step after using a sheet mask or face pack. Applying this hinoki moisture emulsion afterwards helps lock in the nourishing ingredients, preventing them from evaporating and leaving your skin with deep, lasting hydration. - sc*****Dry SkinSensitive SkinAtopic SkinRecommendedOct 21, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

I love how it absorbs quickly without pilling, no matter what I apply before or after. I usually pump it 3 times to cover my face and neck. While it feels lightweight, the finish is surprisingly satisfying - leaving my skin feeling firm and creamy. The biggest drawback is the incredibly strong scent. As this is my first time using a cypress water emulsion, I'm not sure how it compares to other products, but the fragrance is really intense. It's so strong that it startles me every time I apply it. Those sensitive to fragrances might find it difficult to use. While this product provides enough hydration on its own for those with oily skin, if you have deep dryness and very dry skin like me, you'll definitely need to layer it with a nourishing or hydrating cream. At night, I apply this first, then reapply a layer all over my face again a couple of hours later before bed. This routine helps prevent my skin from feeling tight in the morning.
