I definitely felt my skin's hydration levels increase. 2. The price is incredibly affordable. 3. The ingredients are high-quality. 4. The design is simple - some might call it old-fashioned, but I'd say it's classic. 5. For those struggling with dehydrated skin, this product seems like it could really boost their skin's moisture content.
ConsRight after applying this product, it felt like my skin barrier completely collapsed. My skin became extremely irritated with an intense burning sensation... It's similar to contact dermatitis. While I can't definitively say this product is the direct cause, I want to alert others that I experienced issues. (Update) This product was indeed the problem. Changing my rating from 4 to 1.
TipAfter application, follow up with a rich moisturizing cream to lock in the hydration.

It's so light that you need to layer it a few times to get that deep hydration.
ConsOn the second use, my skin started itching and turned red. The cream gave me the same reaction. Sigh.

The gel I usually use doesn't absorb quickly or deeply. It feels a bit slippery and takes time to sink in. That's why when I tried the Somi essence, I felt its absorption was really good. Hydration: I tend to have deep dryness, but I didn't feel dry with this. Of course, those with dry skin can't rely on just one gel essence to combat dryness. If you manage hydration well in other steps, you can use this without any issues. A while after applying, I noticed tiny water droplets forming on my skin. I'm not sure what causes this, but I liked the feeling of moisture on my skin's surface. Gentleness: I have super sensitive skin, even among those with sensitive skin. There are very few cosmetics that work for me. Even when a product has simple ingredients that I've used before in other products, for some reason - maybe due to the formulation - it often doesn't suit me. This happened with Etude's Soon Jung line and Cynic's The Simple line. The Somi essence was similar. Despite its green-grade ingredients and relatively simple formula without any particularly concerning components, it didn't work for me. However, separate from it not suiting me, I think it's a gentle product! I believe those without overly sensitive skin could use it well.
ConsAs mentioned above, unfortunately it didn't suit me well. It didn't cause a severe reaction, but after wearing it all day, I came home to find my skin red and irritated. A couple of blemishes also appeared. I had hoped to replace my current gel with this, but it's disappointing! I often find that many products don't work for me, so it feels like I'm giving a harsh review to a well-made product. Please note that this is a review from someone with a very rare skin type, so take it as just a reference.

After using it for a week, the most impressive aspect was how refreshing it felt! There's absolutely no stickiness, and it's like a concentrated toner. It absorbs well without leaving any residue on the skin. 2. It also has a cooling effect that helps soothe any warmth on your face when applied. 3. I appreciate that it's fragrance-free. This makes it easy to layer with other products without any concerns.
ConsIt's slightly lacking in terms of hydration during winter. Also, after using it for a week, I noticed a small blemish on my face. Could it be because of this product? I'm not entirely sure.
TipFor winter, it works well when mixed with a richer cream like Nivea. This product seems perfect for summer use. It's also great to apply before using a sheet mask.
