Due to puff issues, I used a different puff - the Too Cool for School Fixing Nude puff. The shade is around 22-23, giving a calm and clean look. Being a BB cake, it has a slight grayish tint which worked well for my redness-prone skin. Considering its thin texture, it covers redness well and looks natural. When applied to textured areas, it covers well without feeling thick or heavy. The flexible formula blends easily when patted after initial application. As a moisturizing compact, it's suitable for dry or combination dehydrated skin types, especially during drier seasons.
ConsThe scent is too strong! It's like an artificial floral smell mixed with an unidentifiable ingredient odor. Personally, I think it would be better without any fragrance. There's also some darkening of the product. Without a primer, it tends to get oily, so those with oily skin might want to avoid it. When I checked the puff, I noticed some strange bluish-green color on the edge, which made me uncomfortable. So I used my own puff and couldn't evaluate the included one. Just by touch, the original puff felt soft and squishy. The case was also disappointing. It's not easy to attach the refill, and personally, I found the design lacking in elegance. While the product itself isn't bad, I think it would be better if they removed the fragrance and changed the puff and case colors to something cleaner and brighter.

Compared to cushion foundations, it's easier to control the amount, and the puff is soft yet firm, providing excellent adherence to the skin.
ConsMy skin tends to be quite yellow and on the darker side, so even shade 23 is light for me. Because of this, I noticed that it seemed to emphasize the darkening effect when applied, which was quite disappointing.
TipI found that applying a darker foundation as a base, then using this Essence Pact to highlight areas that need brightening like under the eyes, nose bridge, and chin works wonderfully as a finishing touch!

Those with oily or combination dehydrated skin would likely find this satisfying, especially during the summer months.
ConsThere's a strong alcohol scent right from when you first open it. Unfortunately, it also tends to darken the skin, giving a yellowish tint...

I just tapped it on a few times after my skincare routine, without concealer, and it covered well. It applies thinly and allows for a natural-looking makeup, which I love. The feel is like a BB cream transformed into a cream-balm compact with added sun protection. As someone who doesn't wear much makeup, I find it incredibly convenient and great. Having super sensitive skin, I usually stick to gentle skincare lines. I tested this product gradually, starting with small amounts and expanding the area, and it didn't cause any blemishes - it's working out well!
ConsThere's a very slight greyish darkening, but it's fine once you apply powder and blush.

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'd rate it around 3.8 out of 5, to be precise. First off, it absorbs really well. It goes on incredibly smoothly and thinly, without feeling heavy at all. It's like applying a slightly richer sunscreen? Right after application, there's a subtle glow that makes your skin look fantastic. It's particularly great for covering redness and blemishes.
ConsOn the downside, the packaging design is quite unappealing. It tends to darken a bit over time, and for my oily skin, it seems to wear off in a somewhat messy way. It also accentuates dead skin cells around the nose. While those with dry skin might find it more suitable, it doesn't completely prevent deep dryness. Moreover, with only one shade available, it looks a bit dull on my cool-toned 19-20 complexion. (For a similar price, I'd suggest trying something else...)
TipIt could work well for those with oily skin for short outings. However, for longer periods, you'll need to touch up frequently!

I always look for this type of compact, and the hydration level suits my skin well (I'm currently using XX20). As the name suggests, it contains essence, so if you're looking for something more hydrating (especially if you have severe dehydrated skin), this could be great. It has a pink base tone. +++ Update after more use: It's too drying... You can see it's hydrating, but my skin feels like it's cracking.
ConsI think the shade matches me, but it seems there's only one option available. The design... I want to put it in a different case. It looks so outdated that I don't want to take it out with me. After a few hours of wear, it darkens... reminds me of old, dull BB creams. +++ My skin feels extremely dry underneath I didn't notice before because I never wore it for long periods, but these past few days when I used it for longer, the dryness was unbearable. There's no oiliness, just visible moisture on the surface... I'm not sure if that moisture actually absorbs into the skin because it feels so dry.

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 tested this product in various scenarios to give it a thorough evaluation: 1. Using it alone as a base 2. Applying it for touch-ups over other foundations 3. Reapplying after quickly cleansing my face while out The glow is incredible: From the moment I applied it, I felt a cool, hydrating sensation. But the real magic happened right after application, and especially as time passed and my skin's natural oils came through - the glow was absolutely stunning! Beautiful shade: The 21 Cool tone was perfect for me! It brightened my complexion just right, giving me a radiant look. At first, I wasn't sure if it had made a difference, but under good lighting, I could see how beautifully it enhanced my skin tone. (Note: The skin photos were taken under very warm lighting, so they're not entirely accurate. In reality, it looks even more beautiful and radiant.) Easy to apply: Unlike other cushions or bases where amount control is crucial, this one's naturally hydrating formula makes it forgiving even if you apply a bit more. It doesn't feel heavy and creates a thin, skin-like finish. The application method - gently spreading rather than patting - makes it even easier to use. However, I did notice that the center of the cushion might wear down faster, so I made sure to use product from the edges too. Great for touch-ups: Building on its easy application, this product layers beautifully. It's perfect for touch-ups, with each additional layer blending seamlessly. Overall: While it works well on its own, I think this product truly shines as a touch-up tool over other bases, especially if you're in an environment where you can reapply frequently.
ConsDarkens quickly: My job requires me to wear makeup for long hours (11-hour shifts). Even so, this product darkens unusually fast. Many recent cushions tend to just fade away, but this one noticeably darkens over time. Low coverage: While I expected this given it's a hydrating cushion (and it's a common trade-off), those seeking high coverage might want to look elsewhere. Product depletes quickly: This might be due to my inexperience with compact formulas, but I felt like I was using it up very fast. The first photo shows it when I first opened it, and the second is after just a week and a half of use.
TipDue to the compact formula, or perhaps this product's specific texture, it applies best when you spread and fill in rather than pat it on.

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 best part was when I pressed it firmly with my hand, it felt incredibly hydrating, likely due to its essence-packed formula. This made it very comfortable for my sensitive skin, without feeling heavy or burdensome. I loved how it applied smoothly without settling into pores or fine lines. As someone who usually wears shade 21, I found it neither too dark nor too light, making it perfect for a natural daily skin makeup look. At first, I was surprised as it seemed to sit separately from my skin tone, but it quickly adhered and blended in naturally. It's so lightweight, making it convenient to carry around. With its high SPF, I didn't need to apply sunscreen separately. I could just apply this right after my skincare, reducing my makeup steps which was really convenient. The scent is a mild soap fragrance, not overwhelming, and reminded me of Diptyque's Lys scent. Importantly, the scent doesn't linger after application.
ConsThe built-in puff didn't apply the product well, which was frustrating, so I ended up using my fingers instead. This method provided much better adherence and application. When my skin condition wasn't at its best, especially if I had some dead skin cells, it tended to emphasize these imperfections, which was a bit disappointing. If you're looking for something to use on days when you want to 'put your best face forward', it lacks the coverage and soft-focus effect for that. It's more suited for daily, natural wear. There is a slight darkening effect. When I first received it, I was a bit disappointed to find a lot of dust on the case, and some of the product inside was smeared.

However, it can't fully conceal large pimples, so I recommend using it with a concealer. Lightweight: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ It adheres thinly and lightly to the skin, with good absorption. Skin Appearance: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This product really enhances your complexion! The formula applies thinly rather than thickly, making your skin look delicate. It gives a nice glow, making your skin appear smooth.
Cons1. Hydration Contrary to expectations, it wasn't as moisturizing as I thought. It might be suitable for dry skin types in summer, but could be challenging in winter. 2. Scent I found the slightly artificial cosmetic scent a bit off-putting. If you're not a fan of cosmetic fragrances like me, this might not be for you. The scent lingers a bit on your face after application. 3. Longevity Being a moisturizing balm-type product, its staying power isn't great. You'll need to check for darkening and touch up throughout the day. 4. Design Personally, the design is a bit... well, I suppose it's a matter of personal taste.
TipIf you're using this in winter, make sure to apply a thorough base skincare routine! Rather than patting it on like a cushion foundation, it's better to gently spread it across your skin!
