It feels like a clear, nourishing essence (not heavy or sticky-slippery). In the evening, I layer it three times, and even without applying cream afterwards, my face doesn't feel dry at all. It feels like it's deeply absorbed into the skin! Perfect for those with deep dryness or combination dehydrated skin! It's truly amazing. I'm on my third bottle now. The next day, my skin texture feels incredibly soft. Despite its watery consistency, it doesn't feel like a simple toner but rather a nourishing essence.
ConsAfter purchasing it on Wadiz, I asked when it would be restocked. I waited eagerly for so long! But now I see it's being sold on Naver Smart Store. I'll wait for the Wadiz funding campaign (I wish they had opened it before I finished my bottle...)
TipApply it first after cleansing and pat it in several times. In the evening, layer it at least twice! Highly recommended

It feels like it helps with deep hydration. I love that it's fragrance-free, colorless, and gentle on the skin.
ConsThe glass bottle is quite heavy (though it's pretty and probably better for the environment). It feels a bit pricey at full retail price.

While it's called a water essence, it has a slightly thicker texture. It's a real gem that tackles deep dryness for my combination dehydrated skin! When I apply this vegan product before makeup, it absorbs beautifully without any pilling. The scent is almost non-existent, making it suitable for most people, even those with super sensitive skin. I've noticed a significant difference in my skin texture when I apply it generously at night. During this seasonal change, I'm absolutely certain I'll be repurchasing!
ConsAny downsides? None that I can think of. This has become my holy grail product without any drawbacks.
TipOn days when you need your makeup to last, try using it as a skin pack. It really helps create a flawless, long-lasting makeup look.

Layering it on and letting it absorb was perfect for this season. My skin was particularly dry and rough, but true to its name, this product quickly made my skin feel soft and smooth! It was amazing to see the transformation while using it. Especially during these seasonal changes when my skin tends to get visibly dry and rough, this product really helped improve my skin texture and noticeably reduced dryness. It truly lived up to its name in terms of effectiveness! I definitely plan to keep using it in the future.
ConsI was a bit disappointed with its skin-soothing abilities. The immediate calming effect wasn't as strong as I had hoped.
TipLayering it on works wonders! Great for improving skin texture!

But using very light products leads to deep dryness and tightness. However, this Isamu Ai essence strikes the perfect balance - it's not too heavy yet deeply hydrating, reducing that tight feeling! Best of all, it made my skin texture incredibly soft.
ConsAs someone with oily skin prone to blemishes, I didn't see much improvement in that area. Also, the glass container is heavy and inconvenient to use, plus I'm always worried about dropping and breaking it. Many brands now use recycled plastic packaging which is more eco-friendly. I think switching to a plastic container would make this product much more user-friendly.
TipInstead of applying a lot at once, try layering the product. Apply a thin layer, let it absorb, then repeat. This method results in even better hydration.

It absorbs well and quickly. • The product is nearly fragrance-free!
Cons• The glass container feels a bit heavy. Other than that, I have no complaints!

It was so good that I'm considering purchasing it myself in the future. One of the main benefits was how it solved my deep dryness issues. Using it as a first essence after cleansing, I applied the Isamua Vegan Fermented Moisture Essence, and I was impressed that this single product increased hydration and tackled deep dryness without needing multiple serums or essences. Secondly, my skin texture improved significantly. I was intrigued by the #TextureCareComplete hashtag on Hwahae before requesting the product, and after using it morning and evening daily, I noticed my rough winter skin becoming clearer and smoother as spring approached. The texture care effect was undeniable. Thirdly, it gave me a beautiful Inner Glow and allowed for prettier makeup application. Previously, due to deep dryness and rough texture, my makeup would often look messy or break down quickly. After using the Isamua product, the increased hydration meant I didn't need a separate primer, my makeup lasted longer, and even matte foundations gave me a subtle, beautiful glow. Lastly, I appreciated that it's a gentle, vegan product. Despite having some acne, I experienced no irritation while using it. Checking the full ingredients list on the Hwahae app, I was reassured to find no potentially harmful components, making it a trustworthy choice. Isamua was a new brand to me, but after trying it as part of The Hwahae Testers, I was so satisfied that I hope it becomes widely known.
ConsThere weren't any particular downsides. The glass bottle might feel a bit heavy to some, but I didn't find this to be a significant issue during use. Overall, there were many more satisfying aspects than drawbacks.
TipIt worked well as a toner substitute too. By applying 2-3 layers every morning and evening after cleansing and letting it absorb into the skin, I saw improvements in skin texture, increased hydration, and a glowing complexion.

If the oil and moisture balance isn't right, my chin whiteheads worsen and I get blemishes. After being selected for The Hwahae Testers and using this product morning and night for two weeks, I haven't noticed major changes yet. However, I've felt a slight reduction in chin whiteheads compared to before, and no new blemishes appeared during use. My deep dryness has also improved somewhat. The water-like texture was easy to apply by patting it onto my palms, and being fragrance-free, it didn't cause any aversion. I also like the clean design of the glass bottle. If I continue to see improvements as I use up the product, I plan to purchase it again.
ConsSo far, I haven't experienced any drawbacks. If I notice any areas for improvement later, I'll update my review.

It's great for improving skin texture and deep hydration. You can use it after toner or even as a toner replacement. ➡️ With 87% fermented extract and Korea's first triple vegan fermented essence, I found myself reaching for it often. It provides excellent hydration without feeling sticky. ➡️ Free from concerning ingredients and having passed low-irritation tests, it's also great as a soothing mask. ➡️ I love the case design - it's pretty and allows you to see the product inside clearly. ➡️ The scent is reminiscent of high-quality medicinal herbs.
ConsThe container is a bit heavy, but honestly, I don't have any real complaints.
TipIt works great for layering morning and night, even as a toner substitute.

It's a lightweight, fragrance-free water-type essence with no stickiness that absorbs quickly. I loved how it instantly hydrates without any tightness after cleansing, leaving the skin feeling fresh and moisturized. It seems to help create a subtle glow and lively complexion. As someone with deep dryness, I was impressed that it provided long-lasting hydration rather than just a fleeting moisture boost.
ConsThe glass bottle was slightly heavy, which was a tiny bit disappointing, but overall I didn't find any major drawbacks.
TipSince I tend to have deep dryness, I found that applying two layers of the product helped maintain hydration for even longer.
