Color: It has a slightly reddish tint, which might be challenging for warm skin tones to use. Scent: There's a subtle herbal-like fragrance that lingers. Overall: Is this really an essence? It's not the easiest essence to apply.
ConsI believe that for any cosmetic product to be worthwhile, it should be something you reach for easily. In that regard, this one's a bit of a miss. While it does have brightening effects, it has a reddish tint and feels quite greasy, making it difficult to apply regularly. I probably wouldn't purchase this for personal use.

This product seems perfect for those with dry skin. The adherence is pretty good too, and right after application, it gives a healthy, beautiful glow. It also seems gentle as it doesn't cause any blemishes.
ConsIt's inconvenient having to shake it before each use. Also, the coverage isn't great - it mostly just evens out the skin tone and slightly covers dark spots. It doesn't really conceal blemishes well. I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types in summer - it gets quite shiny over time, and if you try to set it with powder, it tends to cake up later. By the afternoon at work, my makeup had started to break down, and a coworker even asked if I was tired today! I was feeling perfectly fine, so that comment caught me off guard!

It's not sticky at all, so even with my acne-prone skin, it didn't feel heavy. I'm shade 22, and this was a perfect match for me. I also liked how it gently brightened my complexion. I tested its longevity by applying foundation over it and wearing it for 7-8 hours. Despite some inevitable summer wear, it faded gracefully. I'm happy there was no darkening. If you already have good skin, you could probably achieve a gorgeous foundation-free look with just this product.
ConsAs I have extremely sensitive, acne-prone skin, I noticed some redness after cleansing in the evening. (It didn't cause breakouts, just a bit of flushing.) Since it's a glowy product with some oil content, I found it made my T-zone quite oily. I'd recommend this more for dry skin types. The SPF is too low to use as a sunscreen replacement, which is disappointing. The packaging gets dirty very quickly, possibly due to the product itself. I have a lot of blemishes, redness, and acne, so I found the coverage to be insufficient, which was disappointing.
TipI found the coverage wasn't enough on its own, but when I applied this after skincare and followed with foundation, my skin looked absolutely gorgeous! For quick outings, you could just apply this alone. It provides some tone evening and SPF, which is convenient.

Even with a sheer application, it naturally brightens your complexion, which I really liked. In terms of coverage, it's perfect for those times when you want to step out looking a bit more put-together than bare-faced. As a base product, it focuses more on evening skin tone rather than heavy coverage, but it still manages to conceal minor blemishes and dark spots. The scent is a subtle, inoffensive powdery fragrance that should work for most people without causing any issues.
ConsFor my combination dehydrated skin, it was too greasy to use on its own. After some time, my natural oils started to come through, and it felt like the product was mixing oddly with my skin. If you're planning to wear it for more than a short period, I'd recommend setting it with a fixer after application, or following up with foundation and powder for a more lasting finish.

But it's absolutely amazing! The application is fantastic (with over 80% skincare ingredients, the texture isn't heavy and feels like applying a serum). No blemishes (my skin is quite sensitive and usually reacts quickly to unsuitable products, but I've had no issues so far). It's incredibly convenient (personally, I prefer lighter products in summer as thick ones feel stuffy, so I just use toner to prep my skin and this product instead of serum or sunscreen).
ConsWhile everyone's skin is different, I tend to get quite oily in my T-zone and forehead. Since this product is very hydrating, it does seem to increase oiliness a bit.

Even when applied by hand, it doesn't noticeably settle into pores. It doesn't make you look excessively pale either. I usually avoided sunscreen because it caused blemishes, but this one doesn't cause any issues. It evens my complexion naturally and feels great!
ConsIt might be slightly rich in texture... But it's not enough to be bothersome.

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.ProsThe slightly runny texture makes it easy to apply, almost like a hydrating sunscreen. It brightens and evens skin tone nicely. I was worried it might look yellowish on my fair skin (I'm a shade 21 or lighter), but it actually creates a radiant base that allows for a sheer, natural-looking makeup application. Even after hours of wear, it outperforms bare skin - I didn't need to touch up nearly as much as I usually do! As someone with very dry skin, I found it worked wonderfully when applied over a good skincare routine. I'm really satisfied with the results.
ConsThe product has a bit of an oily feel, so it might not be ideal for those with oily skin. The runny consistency can make it tricky to control the amount and application in some areas.
TipA pro tip: Mix a pea-sized amount with your concealer and dab it on areas you want to cover. It provides a natural-looking coverage that works wonders.

The coverage is minimal, but it goes on thin and natural-looking, which is to be expected.
ConsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it feels too oily. Within an hour or two of application, it gets shiny, making powder a must-have. I probably won't reach for this in summer. Also, perhaps because I applied it with my fingers, it seemed to sit on top of my skin rather than blending in seamlessly.

As described, it has low coverage, similar to a brightening moisturizer with SPF. It gives a glow but doesn't have high coverage or longevity. For my combination dehydrated skin, it became too oily after application. The shade was too light for my shade 23 skin. As someone with combination dehydrated skin in shade 23, I wasn't satisfied with either the color or the feel of the product. #Price & Quantity 30mL, retail price 69,000 won, lowest price on Naver 38,000 won. Considering drugstore foundations are around 30,000 won for 30mL (discounted to 20,000 won), this product is on the pricier side. #Packaging Glass container with a pump dispenser. #How to Use The packaging instructs to shake before use and apply 2-3 pumps. #Scent & Texture Not unscented, but has a sweet cosmetic fragrance. The scent is noticeable during and after application. #Color Definitely has a pink base. As someone with shade 23 skin, the base was too light, creating a disconnect and giving my skin an ashy appearance. #Application & Coverage True to its name 'Glowing Essence', it has a fluid, essence-like texture that applies and finishes with a dewy feel. However, being an essence-like product, while it does provide some coverage, it's only about as much as a brightening moisturizer with SPF. The first photo is before use, the second is immediately after application, and the third is 6 hours after application. #Longevity Being a glowy product with minimal coverage, it doesn't last very long. Especially after wearing a hat for about 20 minutes, it completely rubbed off on my forehead. It also mostly rubbed off on my cheeks where I touch my face often. For my combination dehydrated skin, I felt it became too oily over time. #Recommended Skin Types Shade 21 cool tones, dry skin types, those who don't need much coverage and prefer a glowy complexion
Cons#Oiliness Too oily for my combination dehydrated skin. #Color Too light for shade 23 skin, creating a disconnect and a strange ashy tone after application. #Longevity This is somewhat unavoidable, but due to its non-setting glowy formula, coverage was almost completely gone after 2-3 hours.
TipWhile the instructions say to shake before use and that 2-3 pumps is the recommended amount for one application, I found that even one pump was sufficient.

As a woman in her mid-30s who used to wear makeup regularly since my 20s but gradually got tired of it, I now mainly use BB cream-like sunscreens. That's why I found this product particularly appealing. First off, the ingredients seem really gentle. I have sensitive skin due to allergies, so even products with good ingredients can sometimes cause itching or redness. The fact that my skin tolerated this well for 3-4 hours without any issues means it's a good match for me. Of course, compared to foundation, its coverage and staying power are lower, but I'm still satisfied with the product's effectiveness at this level.
ConsBecause I have oily skin, products that are a bit greasy tend to make my face look overly shiny. I find that I need to apply powder on top to make it less noticeable.
TipIt seems important to make sure the product is fully absorbed.
