Gentle formula with mild ingredients - Low irritation makes it suitable even for sensitive skin types. - The overall gentle formulation makes it ideal as a daily serum. Quick absorption - Absorbs rapidly into the skin, making it excellent for layering with other skincare products. - Doesn't cause pilling under makeup, so it's perfect for morning routines. Good quality for the price - Offers solid basic hydration at an affordable price point. - A satisfying choice for those seeking a cost-effective serum.
ConsSomewhat lacking in long-lasting hydration - While initially moisturizing, some may find it less hydrating over time. - Those with dry skin might prefer using it in conjunction with a cream rather than alone. Limited additional benefits - Beyond basic hydration, it doesn't offer significant brightening or firming effects. - Better suited for light, everyday use rather than intensive treatment. May run out quickly (As seen in the photo, it was nearly used up after about a month) - The thin consistency may lead to using more product. - Daily use morning and night might give the impression of rapid depletion.
TipFor enhanced moisture, apply a generous amount of serum after smoothing skin texture with toner. For extra dry days, try layering the serum twice before finishing with a cream to boost hydration longevity. A satisfying choice for those seeking a cost-effective daily serum.

ConsI couldn't really notice any special benefits. There's no soothing or brightening effect to speak of. The only thing it somewhat does is moisturize, but I had to apply it two or three times to feel properly hydrated.

Being fragrance-free, it's suitable for everyone!
ConsUnfortunately, it doesn't have much effect on blemishes or brightening. It's a bit too runny - I wish it had a thicker consistency. Applying it just once doesn't provide enough hydration.
TipIt works best when you layer it 2 or 3 times.

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 a lucky winner of The Hwahae Testers program, I've been using this product consistently and I'm here to share my thoughts! - Texture: While not completely watery, it has a slightly viscous, hydration-packed formula. When you apply a generous amount to your cheeks and let it absorb, you can feel the moisture deeply penetrating your skin. - Consistency: It's not overly runny, but has a nice, moderate viscosity! I found that even when applied liberally, it absorbs without feeling heavy. - Scent: Completely fragrance-free. - Ingredients: There are no harmful components, and the hydration-rich formula makes it feel trustworthy! I love that the excellent ingredient list allows me to apply it generously without worry.
ConsI don't have any complaints about this serum as it focuses solely on hydration! However, it's worth noting that since it's entirely dedicated to moisture replenishment, it may lack other benefits like brightening or anti-aging effects. Despite this, it's such a gentle product that I'm satisfied using it both morning and night with confidence.
TipApply it generously and you'll see your skin transform into a hydration-packed complexion!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsTexture: I thought it would be as runny as water, but it's not that fluid! It's more on the thin side rather than being thick, but it's not too watery and has a slight viscosity to it. Absorption: Since it's on the thinner side, it absorbs quite well. It sinks into the skin without leaving any residue after patting it in a few times. No greasy feeling at all. Hydration: Some products with this type of texture can feel like you haven't applied anything, but this one provides a decent level of hydration while still feeling lightweight! While it's more focused on providing a moisturizing effect rather than an intense, rich hydration, there's a noticeable difference in skin tightness between applying it and not. I think this level of hydration would be sufficient for those with oily skin. Recommended for: If you have dry skin, it's great for summer use. For oily skin types, it could work year-round. I'd recommend this to those looking for a product that provides a good level of hydration with a light texture, rather than one that offers intense moisture with a rich consistency. Since it's a Hwahae product, it's formulated with great ingredients suitable even for sensitive skin, so I highly recommend it for those with combination dehydrated skin who are also sensitive!
ConsIf you're used to heavier serums, this might feel too light for you. For those who experience skin tightness often, I'd recommend using this in summer. This product focuses solely on providing hydration, so don't expect additional benefits like brightening or pore tightening.
TipIf you have sensitive skin and are hesitant to use functional serums, but still want to try some active ingredients, try mixing this Hwahae Essential Serum 1:1 with a functional serum. It really helps reduce the potential for irritation!

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.ProsI'm personally very satisfied with this product! Skin type: I have dry skin, but not extremely dry. It's the kind of dry that's never really felt moisturized. I used to have acne-prone skin, so my skin is sensitive. If I use a product that doesn't suit me, my face starts feeling itchy within an hour, and sometimes blemishes appear the next day. I prefer lightweight products over heavy ones, and I lean towards hydrating products rather than oily ones! Product: * Packaging The design is really simple. From the bottle to the dropper, it's about 10cm long. It's compact and light, which would be great for traveling. Being plastic, there's no risk of breakage. The dropper part is also decent, with no inconveniences in use. The amount of serum that fills the tip is generous. Please refer to the 5th photo! * Texture It has a colorless, odorless, light water-like texture. It's not completely runny like a water toner, but it has almost no viscosity, making it very lightweight. This results in a fresh finish when applied, with almost no stickiness. * Functionality This serum is really focused solely on hydration. Unlike popular serums like the carrot serum or vita serum, this is a daily serum concentrated on hydration. So it's suitable for everyday use, and because it's light, it doesn't cause pilling when applied before makeup. * Personal experience I was really satisfied with this product! Since my skin is sensitive and prone to blemishes, I couldn't even think about trying the whitening or spot-treating functional serums on the market. My skin type doesn't seem to handle those well. So I prefer light, hydration-focused products, and this Hwahae serum was perfect for me! Just using toner and cream left something to be desired in terms of skin hydration, but this serum solved that perfectly. And it's really gentle. Usually, when I try a new cosmetic product or switch to a different one, there's a 2-3 day adjustment period where my skin feels itchy, but with this product, there was none of that. No additional acne appeared either. I've tried various products over time, but because my skin is so picky, finding a suitable serum was really difficult. Hwahae has achieved this for me.. Even the Well*ju ampoule, which is said to be gentle, didn't suit me. It's so mild and gentle that I think I'll reach for it often!
ConsI didn't have any issues, but it might be disappointing for these types of people: 1. Those looking for functional serums Whether it's for brightening, spot removal, collagen replenishment, or acne relief, there are many functional serums out there these days. I wouldn't recommend this to people looking for those effects. This serum is suitable for those who think, 'My current skincare routine seems a bit lacking in hydration! Is there something that can fill this gap?' It's for lightly topping up hydration as needed! 2. Those who prefer heavy, rich textures As it's a light, water-like hydrating product, it has almost no oiliness. As a result, it doesn't have that feeling of locking in moisture, so I don't recommend using it alone.
TipRather than using it alone, it would be good to apply it between toner and cream. It's too light to use on its own. Make sure to apply a cream after the serum to lock in the moisture!

It feels like water mixed with just a drop or two of oil. I apply one drop each on my forehead and cheeks. It doesn't absorb instantly, but rather needs a few gentle pats to slowly sink in. Despite its thin consistency, I was surprised to find that the hydration lasts longer than expected. It leaves a moisturized finish without any stickiness, so you don't have to worry about your hair getting stuck to your face. While I didn't notice any significant blemish improvement, I think it would work great as a light serum to apply in the morning before makeup, rather than as a night treatment.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that this is just a daily serum without any specific acne-fighting or brightening properties.
TipThis seems like it would be more suitable for summer use than winter!

It's basically a straightforward, no-frills ampoule that does the job. The best part? It doesn't cause any blemishes, which is always a relief! Unlike some ampoules that tend to spill when tipped over, this one's design is fantastic. Plus, it provides great hydration.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that it doesn't offer any brightening effects or help with blemish control.
