Try a sample first before using the actual product!!

Oily sensation. Excessive oiliness. Oily sensation!!!
I have a combination-type, seasonal dry skin.
These days, I've become sensitive due to sudden breakouts after using cosmetics.
The ingredient composition of the existing cosmetics I used was not good.
I wanted to use this product to reduce the number of cosmetics and make my skin feel more comfortable.
After using the cosmetics, my skin became sensitive, so I used the sample before using the main product.
The essence toner was very watery and the scent seemed to be from the main ingredients. It was good even on the first use after cleansing.
However, despite the title 'essence', it fell short in terms of relieving dryness and refining skin texture when applied repeatedly.
Moreover, the oiliness and oily sensation are too much.
The inside is dry, but the outside is oily, making the usage experience very unpleasant, and it's burdensome to layer it.
Interestingly, when first applied to the skin, it feels relatively powdery, but the oily sensation immediately takes over.
After application, my hands become greasy, so I have to wash them before applying the next step.
The cream with the same composition also had more oiliness than moisture, so it didn't work well for me.
The sample size was really small, and after using it, small bumps appeared, so I stopped using it.
For me, the oiliness was too much, and it didn't work, but if you have dry skin, it might be okay to apply it after thoroughly hydrating the skin.

The relatively small number of ingredients, the advantage of fermented extracts being the main component and the absence of harmful ingredients, as well as the ability to reduce the toner or essence step, were the appealing factors.
I chose the fermented essence type because it suited me very well, but the best part was being able to try the samples first.

비건발효 수분결 원액 에센스

As time passes, the oil rises to the surface, and it seems that my skin may be transitioning from extremely dry to oily. My skin seems a bit unusual. Haha.

I accidentally bought and used a sample, and it was really great.
First, my skin changed from oily to extremely dry.
So I used an oily skin lotion, but after cleansing, my skin peeled and flipped over, so I was looking for an extremely dry skin lotion and tried this product, and after cleansing, not only did the peeling go away, but my previously dry skin became moisturized without any dryness.
I'm glad I tried the sample well. I used up the sample and am now using the full-size product. I'm using it really well.

There is not a single regrettable point. It is highly recommended for dry skin in the Hwahae.

The product has excellent spreadability and exceptional absorption.

The first step is to apply this essence, and then using one more essence can create a good synergy.

It would have been fine if it had been released with a slightly smaller capacity.

So far, this seems to be the best of the first-stage essences I've tried! It absorbs well and I've noticed a significant improvement in my skin condition since using this!! My complexion also appears brighter^^

It would be nice to hold events more often. It's a bit of a pity that the prices are a bit high though.

The moisturizing feel is nice. It's a shame you're not famous, haha.

After cleansing, apply this as the first step and pat it in thoroughly.
In the evenings, apply it in 2 or more layers!! Highly recommended 👍

After purchasing it on Wadiz, I asked when it would be re-released. I waited with bated breath!!! But now I see it's being sold on the Naver Smart Store, so I'll wait for the Wadiz funding (I wish they had opened it before the bottles ran out...).

Among the essences I've tried, the one with the best balance of oil and moisture was the best. It has a clear oily yet nourishing feel (not stuffy or sticky). In the evenings, I apply it in 3 layers, and after applying it, my face doesn't feel dry at all, even without using a separate cream. It really absorbs deep into the skin!!!!! It's perfect for those with severe internal dryness and oily skin!!!!! It's truly amazing. I'm on my 3rd bottle of this. The next day, my skin texture is incredibly soft and supple~ It has a watery formula, but it doesn't feel like a water-based product - it has a nourishing feel.

I loved this product so much that I've been recommending it to everyone around me.
I will definitely be repurchasing this.

My skin has become very dry lately, and I've been dealing with a lot of roughness and flakiness. But after using this product, my skin texture has improved so much!
When my skin gets rough, I find that heavier, more nourishing formulas work better for me than light, watery ones. This product really helps to smooth and plump up my skin.
I'd highly recommend this to anyone with dry, dehydrated skin!

As someone with dry skin, I found it great. But those with oily skin might feel it's a bit too dewy. I'd recommend using it during the winter season.

The package design is really appealing to me. The glass material looks luxurious, and the box has an eco-friendly feel. The texture is not too thick or too thin, which makes it easy to layer. After application, it definitely gives a polished and refined look. And the subtle glow that comes through is something I really enjoy!

I also tried using the sample cream I had received, and when I mixed the two, my skin looked radiant and really healthy. It works great when mixed with other creams as well!!!

Since I haven't been using it for too long, I'm satisfied so far, but I'll need to use it more to see the full effects.

First of all, my skin condition has been quite problematic lately, and no matter what I apply, it just doesn't seem to absorb well. Yesterday and today, I did a primary cleansing with this product and then used a cotton pad soaked in it on the areas showing signs of seborrheic dermatitis. Even after some time, there was hardly any flakiness, which is a huge relief for me!!! And the areas with dermatitis didn't feel irritated or anything, so it seems to be a gentle formula. The reddened parts have faded significantly, and it's definitely moisturizing and calming.

The moisture retention is excellent, so it seems suitable for use throughout the seasons. You may even be able to skip using a toner, as the hydration and moisturizing effects are sufficient.

There may be some ingredients that could be irritating for sensitive skin, so it's best to do a patch test before applying it to your face.

• Skin Feel
From the moment it touches the skin, it's soft, comfortable, and the moisture texture is amazing. You can feel the skin being plumped up with hydration, and it has a bouncy, supple feel. It finishes feeling moisturized yet refreshing.
It seems to have been effective on my rough skin.

• Texture
It has a milky appearance and is watery with a slight thickness, gliding on smoothly.

• Fragrance
The fragrance is very subtle, to the point where you can barely smell it, so it would be suitable even for those with sensitive skin.

Personally, I prefer a more refreshing feel, so I think it works better for me to use this before my lotion. Using it as the final step can make the finish feel a bit heavy. When I used this before my lotion and used lighter, more refreshing moisturizers, I found the overall routine felt much more lightweight and pleasant.

Being an essence, it left more of an oily feeling than a moisturizing one. Since I prefer very lightweight formulas, this felt a bit heavy. And this essence had a watery texture, which is quite rare these days - most essences I've seen lately have been more lotion-like or cream-like in texture. This one had more of a serum-like feel. So I think it would be better to use it in the middle steps, before applying a moisturizer, rather than as the final step. It would have been helpful to have some guidance on the best way to incorporate it into my routine.

I received the product a little late, so I was only able to use it for 3 days.
First of all, the texture was not sticky, which I liked. It felt more smooth than moisturizing. The scent was also an inoffensive cosmetic fragrance. It was not completely unscented, but it was a subtle, pleasant fragrance, not an overpowering one.

Although I only used it 3 times, I found it more helpful to apply it before bedtime rather than during the day. I didn't notice any drastic changes, but I did feel like my skin texture was somewhat improved the next day. I think this product will be even better with consistent use!!

The bottle is also made of glass, which gives it a premium feel. These days, there are a lot of plastic products, so this felt more special and environmentally-conscious.
