It's good to apply other cosmetics and then finish with this.
It's quite nice!

There wasn't really anything special about it.
It was convenient in a pump-style format, but the fragrance could be divisive.
I didn't mind the refreshing ginseng scent.

It seems to be used even more than the consonant count.
It is used by applying a small amount for the purpose of retaining moisture.
It was fine to use it in appropriate amounts even for oily skin.

Personally, as an intellectual,
I use skin toner in the morning and lotion in the evening.

A faint ginseng aroma and
a slightly burdensome price point

It's moisturizing and not greasy.
Since I have oily skin, even a little excess oil can cause blemishes to appear.
But when I apply it generously, it's still moisturizing and great.

Knowing your skin type accurately seems to be the key. Visit a nearby cosmetics store and get help from the staff to discover your skin type. When buying products, look at a lot of reviews and choose the ones with the most reviews.

It's a pity, but it would have been better if it was a little cheaper. In the case of the essence, the button I pressed broke, so I couldn't use it and had to throw it away. (It was a sample, but it's a shame.) The lid doesn't come off either.

I tried using the set as a gift, and the spreadability and absorption were really good. It felt like it was filling from the inside. I think it would be good for both dry and combination skin types.

When my skin wasn't sensitive, I didn't know, but these days when my skin is a bit sensitive, it doesn't help with the dryness and stings, so I can't use it. I'm coming to write a review right away.
It's good to filter out good and bad cosmetics when your skin is sensitive, but after using up this bottle, I don't think I'll repurchase it as it's a product with poor cost-effectiveness.

I'm not sure what the good points were...
It seems like it's a bit complicated. I'm not sure what I should write.

While it's not heavier than the pre-renewal version, it's still too heavy for oily skin like mine. The current product is not worth my money.

I received a sample and tried it out. Looking at the date, it seems to be from the right side of the back of my hand. It's estimated to be the pre-renewal version, and it's more dense, but the spreadability is similar, and it's definitely more moisturizing and nourishing, but not heavier. The pre-renewal version had a dense skin and a thin lotion, but the renewed version has a thin skin and a dense lotion.

I usually pump it out twice and apply it all the way down to my neck, but I'll try doing it three times from now on.^^;;

Estée Lauder Micro Essence - Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum - Estée Lauder brown bottle (evening)/Tory Derm Dive-In Serum? (morning) - Sulwhasoo Moisturizer

Anyway, when I use this combination, I do find it a bit drying.^^;
If I do a sheet mask at night, the next day I don't feel any dryness at all, but from the day after that, I start to feel it again.
It doesn't seem to be the lotion's fault (before this, I used the same combination but with Physiogel Daily Moisture instead of this lotion), so I guess my skin is just really dry.

1. Reusable glass bottles
2. Smooth application

Sulwhasoo actually takes back the used bottles at their stores. It seems they reuse them, which I think is great - using reusable glass bottles instead of environmentally harmful plastics, and having a system in place to collect them at the company level.
It's really hard to find products that aren't packaged in plastic these days, but at least with Sulwhasoo products, I can worry about that a little less.^^;;

The texture is kind of milky, I'd say. It has less moisture and oil than the Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum, but it applies smoothly and absorbs quickly.

There's not much to complain about, but if I had to pick something, it would be that it's a bit too thick in texture. I wish it could be a bit more lightweight while still maintaining the great moisturizing properties.

This is perhaps the best lotion I've ever used. Although I have oily skin, this doesn't feel too greasy, and it provides excellent hydration even in the winter when I use it alone without a separate toner. I just use this lotion without worrying about the toner.

It may be too heavy for normal and oily skin types.
It absorbs well into dry skin, but the price range is quite steep...

It's lighter than a skin, but still has a substantial feel to it.! 
The pump format works well, and it's a great gift for dry skin.

I like to use the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum along with other products from the line, as it provides great hydration and helps prevent neck wrinkles. When applying it to the face, I also make sure to massage it upwards onto the neck area, which I believe helps improve the appearance of wrinkles!

The only downside is that the packaging feels a bit heavy and the price is on the higher side.

When I think of Sulwhasoo, I used to think it was only popular with older adults, but as a 20-year-old, I find that Sulwhasoo suits me the best😊 Among their products, the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum is especially great - the texture is light and lotion-like, so it doesn't feel heavy when applying. After using it, my face becomes radiant and deeply moisturized! Highly recommended!

This would be a good option for those with dry skin.

I don't recommend this for people with oily skin. While I personally enjoy the fragrance, others around me have commented that it smells like my mom's makeup.

Although it's marketed as an adult basic skincare product, it works well for me as a 20-year-old. I've been using this product for a long time.
