FIRST CARE WATER ESSENCE

Moisturizing

Pleasant Scent

Refreshing

Easily Absorbed

Effective for Inner Dryness

Removes Sebum

Lightweight

Just spritz it on right after showering or cleansing, and your face won't feel tight even while you're tidying up the bathroom.

It's not exactly budget-friendly, so I wish they'd run promotions more often.

It's lightweight and not overpowering in scent, so you can spritz it multiple times without feeling overwhelmed. Even with just a light mist, it seems to create a thin moisturizing veil, giving your skin that coveted 'egg-shell glow' without any tightness. I use it right after cleansing.

If you apply it after exfoliating, you'll feel the product filling your pores more effectively. For quicker results, try applying it in multiple layers, allowing each layer to absorb.

The price point is a bit high, and I think it might be a little drying during the winter months.

I bought a sample, but they gave me a full-sized bottle, so I'm leaving a review after using it for about 3 months.

First, I loved that it came with a separate mist spray bottle, making it convenient to carry around. The absorption was refreshing, which I really enjoyed. For those with very dry skin, it might feel a bit drying during seasonal changes or winter, so I recommend following up with thorough skincare after applying this product. For those with oily skin, it absorbs without leaving a rich feeling, so your skin should feel comfortable. I didn't experience any blemishes, so it seems like a good option as a simple toner.

The price is a bit steep, but I'm planning to use up the whole bottle first. If I'm satisfied with the results, I'll stock up during a sale.

I've been using it for just over a week, and my skin texture has really improved. My sister bought it too, and it seems to suit her skin well. I've decanted some into an empty mist bottle to keep at the office, and it's absolutely fantastic!

Putting it in a mist bottle and spraying it on is really convenient and great!

I have combination and slightly sensitive skin. At first, there was a slight burning sensation, but it was fine except when my skin was particularly sensitive.

I usually don't prefer watery products, so I rarely used water essences. But when I put this in a mist bottle and sprayed it on, it was so convenient and amazing! Sometimes I just sprayed the water essence alone, and I didn't feel any dryness. I ordered it as a sample, but it came as a full-size product. I've been using it consistently, and it's great for summer weather. Plus, they even wrote my name and included instructions and benefits, which made it easier to use. I'm definitely considering repurchasing! But it's already sold out...

I haven't found any drawbacks yet. If I discover any after using it more, I'll update my review.

This first essence has a water-like consistency. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it great that even applying just this essence alone didn't leave my skin feeling dry, especially now in summer. I decanted some into a mist bottle and kept it in the fridge - it feels so refreshing and seems to calm my skin quickly when sprayed on a flushed face. It's only been a week, but I feel like my sebum production has slightly decreased compared to before using this essence (individual results may vary!). I'll continue using it and update my review.

It's great as a mist! Spraying it immediately after cleansing helps maintain hydration without any deep dryness post-cleanse.

There's nothing particularly disappointing about this product. The detailed explanation of the production process that comes with it really helps justify the price, showing the care put into its creation.

It's perfect to use right after cleansing. It absorbs into the skin instantly, just like a water essence. The texture is incredibly refreshing, and the scent is reminiscent of phytoncides or a forest, which is quite uplifting. You can even use it as a toner by applying it with a cotton pad - it effectively removes any remaining impurities without irritating the skin! They thoughtfully included a spray bottle, allowing for versatile use, including as a mist.

I don't have any complaints right now. And I doubt I'll have any in the future either!

Written from the perspective of someone with extremely dry, atopic-prone sensitive skin!

I absolutely love this mist! They thoughtfully included an empty spray bottle, so after refilling, I can spritz away. The spray power is excellent, and it instantly provides a burst of hydration. It's wonderful because it doesn't cause any skin reactions and doesn't evaporate immediately like some mists do. The packaging is also sleek and clean-looking!

The price point is a bit wicked. It's a shame that it costs over 40,000 won.

It's fantastic to apply right after washing my face. I used to have constant redness flare-ups, but the soothing ingredients in this seem to really work wonders. I've tried all the highly-praised products from Pi*, MediCu*, and Jang Young*, but nothing worked for me. Oily formulas don't usually suit me, but even though this has a slightly slippery texture, it's actually quite nice. Definitely recommend it! Some people mention a strong herbal scent, but I don't find it particularly noticeable. You don't need to stick your nose in it, so I didn't really notice any smell when applying.

If you soak cotton pads or those mask sheets from Daiso with this and use it as a mask, your skin absorbs makeup better. It's even more effective when it's cool!

There's nothing particularly bad, but when I recommended it to my family, they found the herbal scent a bit strong. It's not an issue with the product itself though.

I'm using this as both an essence and toner. It's lightweight yet deeply hydrating. I love using it as a mask by soaking cotton pads - it seems to moisturize deep into the skin. Also, thank you for the empty bottle you sent along. I'm using it to decant the product.

Although it's called an essence, you might find it easier to think of and use it as a regular toner/skin for your skincare routine.

There wasn't really anything I disliked about it. Personally, I enjoy herbal scents, and while this one is subtle, it might be a matter of personal preference for some.

I really liked this versatile product that works as both a toner and essence. They even included an empty mist bottle, so I could use it as a spray or apply it directly to my skin for deep hydration. When I checked the Hwahae app, I found no concerning ingredients, and it felt gentle on my skin.
