I thought it must be a lightweight product due to its lack of viscosity. Application: It absorbs quickly into the face because it's so light. When touching the face, there's a slight stickiness left. Scent: Personally, I detect a chemical smell? I think I understand what others mean by a vinegar-like scent. It's a matter of personal preference, but I found this level of fragrance acceptable. Considering the product's effectiveness and various aspects, it's a decent product overall.
ConsProduct Container: Considering the small 20ml volume, the dropper is designed to absorb only a small amount. This makes it really inconvenient. There's a certain amount I want to apply, but with each press of the dropper, only a tiny bit comes out, which is frustrating.
TipReview: Honestly, I think it's better to try various products on the market in this price range and find one that suits your skin, rather than focusing on this product's effects. If this product is suitable for your skin and you have the financial means, you might consider using it. Personally, I didn't feel the necessity to use this brand at this price point. Nowadays, with such a wide variety of cosmetics available, products are formulated with gentle ingredients to suit consumer preferences, and we can exchange diverse information. I hope you make a rational choice.

It was perfect timing as I needed a lightweight ampoule for my summer skincare routine when my skin was lacking moisture. What I love is that it instantly fills in pores and provides a burst of hydration. This is great because when skin is dehydrated, pores become more visible.
ConsThe scent is slightly off-putting, reminiscent of saliva, which can be a bit bothersome. However, because it's so lightweight and absorbs well into the skin so quickly, the smell disappears once it's fully absorbed!

It's perfect for adding a light layer of nourishment in this weather. However, those with dry skin might want to layer it with additional moisturizing products. - It seems to be really effective at evening out skin texture! It didn't cause any additional blemishes on my skin, which is great. I'm quite satisfied with the results.
Cons- I also found the packaging a bit disappointing. The amount included in the dropper was quite small. - Since it contains fermented ingredients, those with super sensitive skin should do a patch test before using it. - The price compared to the amount... that's probably the most disappointing aspect.

When I first received this product, I wondered how it differed from the Estée Lauder brown bottle essence I used to use. The texture is incredibly watery and light. Compared to the brown bottle essence, everything from the color to the consistency is much lighter. Since it's summer, I've been avoiding sticky and heavy products, so I really liked how this one is lightweight and absorbs quickly without feeling burdensome. The scent is what I expected - similar to the brown bottle essence. Some might find it off-putting at first, but I didn't mind it. I applied it as the first step after cleansing. I usually use a very watery hydrating essence first, but while using this product, I skipped that and finished with a light emulsion. After using it for about a week, I noticed my skin feeling smoother right after application. In the mornings after cleansing, my skin feels noticeably softer. I used to have visible pores in my T-zone due to the summer heat, but after using this product, I feel like my pores have become less noticeable. I didn't expect significant results after just a week, but the improvement in softness and smoothness is definitely noticeable. I'll keep using it consistently.
ConsThe downside is that the 20ml size is quite small, and it seems to run out quickly for the price. Given its very thin consistency and quick absorption, I feel like I'll use it up really fast.
TipIt seems more effective when used for night care rather than day care. I feel great in the morning when I cleanse and do my makeup because my skin feels so smooth.

This product has a lightweight, watery texture that absorbs well. I love how quickly it sinks into the skin, and its refreshing feel makes it perfect for summer use. When I apply a generous amount before bed, I wake up with a subtle Inner Glow that's so satisfying. Plus, it's gentle and non-irritating!
ConsThe scent is a bit tangy, which I personally don't care for. I also feel the price might be a bit high for the amount you get.
TipRather than slathering on too much, it's better to apply just enough for your skin to absorb properly!

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.ProsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin, I've come to dislike heavy, oily formulas. This one, however, is incredibly lightweight with a water-like texture that flows effortlessly. It absorbs completely into the skin, leaving a refreshingly clean finish. Those with dry skin might find this alone isn't quite enough hydration. I was initially concerned about how to control the amount, given its high price point. But I'm pleased that each pump dispenses just the right amount, as shown in the fourth photo - perfect for covering the entire face! The description claims it helps reduce redness, and it's absolutely true. It effectively calms any flushing, giving your skin a sense of balance and stability. This is my first time using such a premium product, and I can see why the brown bottle line is so popular. I'm tempted to switch my entire skincare routine to this line, though my bank account might not survive the change!
ConsThe scent: At first, I was startled by what seemed like a saliva-like smell. This scent lingers on my face for a while after application. While I'm still not used to it, the product's effectiveness is enough to make me overlook this issue. And then there's the price. Yes... it's expensive...

It absorbs quickly, allowing for a second layer without any pilling. After applying it before bed, I woke up to find my skin texture refined and feeling plump and bouncy! There's definitely a noticeable improvement in skin condition. It also works great under makeup, absorbing well into the skin.
ConsThe scent is a bit odd, but tolerable. If the price wasn't so steep, I'd definitely buy this with my own money. It's the kind of product I'd love to gift to my parents.
TipFinish off with a light moisturizer after applying this product!

For a 'night' product, the texture is surprisingly light, and I was initially skeptical about its effectiveness due to its lightweight feel. However, when I woke up in the morning, I noticed a subtle Inner Glow and my complexion looked more refined, confirming its efficacy. Additionally, it has a barely-there scent - 98% fragrance-free with just 2% vinegar scent that you'd have to sniff closely to detect. Once absorbed, there's no vinegar smell at all, even if someone's right next to you. I prefer this subtle scent over added ingredients for complete fragrance-free formulas. 2. As someone in their 20s without many wrinkles, I appreciate this product for its preventative approach to skin aging. It's packed with beneficial ingredients, and I even apply the excess to my neck without any blemishes appearing, feeling a noticeable firming effect. 3. It's not sticky even when applied during summer nights. As mentioned earlier, the lightweight texture and feel made me question if it was truly a night product. However, the results were surprisingly good. I wonder how it'll perform in winter. Though I haven't tried it in colder months yet, judging by how easily it absorbs, it seems the brand focuses on the power of ingredients rather than making empty promises to consumers.
Cons1. The price point is quite high, which can be off-putting. I was fortunate to try it through The Hwahae Testers, but if not for that opportunity, I probably wouldn't have purchased it due to the cost barrier. Moreover, considering the price-to-volume ratio, it can be burdensome to repurchase for long-term, consistent results. While it's understandable for a quality product to command a premium price, it's worth noting that it comes out to about $6 per ml. 2. The dropper's volume control is somewhat disappointing. The amount dispensed doesn't correlate with how hard you squeeze the dropper. Even when trying to get more product by pressing harder, the amount is less than expected. If this is intentional to prevent overuse due to the small volume, it could be seen as a positive. It's more of a minor inconvenience rather than a significant issue.
Tip1. Applying it too thinly in an attempt to conserve the product might not yield significant results. It seems that using an adequate amount is necessary to wake up with that subtle glow and refined complexion.

It's incredibly light, with no heavy feeling at all. It feels like you're wearing nothing, yet it's there. I haven't experienced any blemishes while using it. While I'm not sure about its effect on redness, I feel it's a product that gets better the more you use it. The essence has a thin consistency, making it suitable for both women and men without feeling burdensome. I'm impressed by how quickly it absorbs into the skin!
ConsThe dropper is more inconvenient than I expected... For the price, the quality of the dropper isn't great. It doesn't provide much hydration... It's so light that you might wonder if you've applied anything at all. As expected with Estée Lauder, you're paying for the name.

Ingredients: I usually opt for products with minimal concerning ingredients, so the formulation was slightly disappointing. However, there are no major allergens or high-risk ingredients, so it should be fine for those without super sensitive skin. Texture: The consistency is somewhat thin and has a light, slightly slippery feel. Due to its fluid nature, it absorbs well into the skin, which I appreciate. Effectiveness: I only use it in my evening routine, but even with just this one product, I notice a significant boost in hydration. As a result, I find myself using less of my regular moisturizer. It hasn't caused any blemishes, and I'm enjoying using it. The overall packaging feels luxurious, and considering my skin looks good even when I'm not feeling my best, I think it has good soothing properties too.
ConsThe downside is that while the dropper design looks premium, it's actually harder to control the amount compared to a standard dropper. Also, the price point is quite high, which is disappointing.
