It absorbs well and I've noticed a significant improvement in my skin condition since using this!! My complexion also appears brighter^^
ConsIt would have been fine if it had been released with a slightly smaller capacity.
TipThe first step is to apply this essence, and then using one more essence can create a good synergy.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAmong 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.
ConsAfter 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...).
TipAfter cleansing, apply this as the first step and pat it in thoroughly. In the evenings, apply it in 2 or more layers!! Highly recommended 👍

When it first touches the skin, it feels slippery or heavy, but when you spread it out, it absorbs lightly. :) Among the moisturizing products, sometimes the ones with too much moisture feel drier after absorption or too oily, but this Samuae has a great combination of moisture and the oil-water balance of the essence. ✔️Your skin tone brightens. After using it for about 3 days, it seemed to brighten, and I thought it was just my imagination, but after using it with a friend on a trip, I realized it was not an illusion. My friend, who has relatively darker skin, noticed her skin tone brightening in just two days, and she was amazed and satisfied that her skin remained moisturized even in the morning. She also took a photo to buy it.👍🏻 ✔️It's fermented but non-irritating. I'm sensitive, and when I use cosmetics containing alcohols, floral extracts, or fermented extracts, I often feel a lot of irritation, redness, and even breakouts. However, Samuae did not cause any of that, and my skin felt comfortable, which surprised me. ✔️Considering animals and the environment Nowadays, it's impossible not to think about animals and the environment, and I was so pleased to receive this product as it is vegan, and the packaging, including the bottle and box, seems to be environmentally friendly. Sometimes, there is excessive packaging that is disproportionate to the product contents, or the box is too large and sloppy compared to the product, but Samuae is packaged just enough, and the simple glass bottle without a pump is so nice. (I'm not sure if Samuae does this, but it would be great if they offered points or discount coupons for returning the glass bottles, as it would encourage recycling.)
ConsIt would be great if we could hold our own event so that many people can try it out. :) And if you offer a discount event when purchasing multiple bottles, I think people will continue to use it.
Tip✔️Moistening cotton pads and using them as a pack is the best for moisture and whitening management! (I really wish I could make a mask pack as well🤗) ✔️You can layer it 2-3 times, and it can substitute a mask pack.(To be honest, I use this method more often because I don't want to waste the moistened cotton pads.) ✔️You can use it as a mist instead of a spray bottle by dividing it, and it can perfectly maintain the moisturized skin due to the heater. ✔️There is a cream that synergizes when used together, but I'm not sure if I can publicly share a brand other than Isamuhae, so I can't disclose it for now. I'll share it later if I can.

Cons• The glass container feels slightly heavy. Other than that, there's nothing else I'm unhappy about.😅

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst of all, the ingredients are really good. Not only are there no harmful ingredients, but all the ingredients are excellent ones. Compared to other fermented products like Seomxx and Pitex, this product is vastly superior. The application and absorption are very smooth. Fermented products can sometimes be too watery or runny, but this product has the right viscosity and is quickly absorbed into the skin. There is no tightness. My skin used to be oily, but as I've aged, it's become slightly dry, and the tightness has become more severe. But with this product, there is no tightness right after application or even 30 minutes later, so even those with oily skin can use it comfortably. There is no artificial fragrance, and it's close to being fragrance-free, so there is no unpleasant odor. At the same time, it doesn't have that typical chemical cosmetic fragrance, so it's non-irritating and comfortable. I highly recommend this product. I want to purchase and use other products from Isamwae as well, that's how good this product is!
ConsThe bottle is slightly heavy, but most cosmetic products have thick bottles, which seems to be a characteristic of cosmetics. Other than that, there is nothing disappointing about this product.
TipThere's no special tip, like applying it right after cleansing. The product is simply too good!

Before using it, I thought it would be as light as a toner, but the texture is on the watery side. However, I could feel the nourishment and oil content, so I knew it was an essence. It absorbs quickly, so it was convenient to apply before doing my makeup when I was in a hurry. Patting it lightly makes it get absorbed fast while providing hydration. I liked that it's fragrance-free. While it has a watery flow, the nourishment and oil content make it suitable for use in the winter and transitional seasons.
ConsThose with oily skin would likely find this more suitable for use in the winter.

The product opening was well sealed with a cap and came in a clean, sealed condition. Texture - The texture is watery as shown in the photo. I thought it would be a thick essence, but it was lightweight, moisturizing, and quickly absorbed with a hydrating feel. There was no stickiness. Effectiveness - It was like a clarifying serum, making my skin feel smooth and clear immediately after application. With continued use, my makeup applied better and my skin became more supple. Fragrance - The fragrance is almost unscented.
ConsSince it is a moisture essence with a thin texture, it seems more suitable for use during the transitional seasons rather than winter. Also, for dry skin types, using the serum along with a cream would likely provide better results.
TipAs someone with severely dry T-zone combination skin, I've found that layering the essence two to three times and then applying a cream works well for me in this weather!

The slightly viscous texture was great, and it didn't feel like a typical toner or skin. It's amazing how it can replace multiple essences while still keeping the skin moisturized. The scent is also very subtle and pleasant, not overpowering at all. The packaging and container are also very nice and appealing to me.🥰
Cons🟡 There's really nothing I dislike, but if I had to nitpick, it would be the volume. At 150ml, it's a bit smaller than some other toners. However, since it can replace multiple essences, that's not necessarily a bad thing... Anyway, it'll get used up quickly if you use a lot, haha.
Tip🔴 I use Ismuae right after cleansing, like a skin, but using it as a cleansing oil would be such a waste. I did try it once, but cleansing is better done with a dedicated cleansing product or toner. It's too precious to use that way...😅 And I love applying Ismuae generously at night, followed by the Cica Barrier Cream. In the morning, my skin looks and feels amazing after this routine.

The product's appearance and packaging are very high-end. The product is bottled. It has a watery, thin texture. It absorbs well, and after application, a subtle glow appears, and my skin feels moisturized.^^ I've been undergoing laser treatment lately, and it didn't sting at all when I applied it. It absorbed well into my dry skin, and my skin felt moisturized even after application. This is a truly well-made product! Good! It's fragrance-free, so anyone can use it without worrying about the scent.
ConsThe glass bottle makes the product heavy. Some may dislike the weight, but I prefer bottle-packaged products as I think they better preserve the freshness of the product. I generally prefer bottle products, like sesame oil drinks.^^ I wish the product dispenser could be improved a bit. Tapping the palm to dispense the product doesn't seem very hygienic, and the product getting stuck in the dispenser isn't very neat.
TipMy eye area is quite dry, but after soaking a pad with the essence and placing it on my eye area, and then applying the rest of my skincare routine, my skin felt wonderfully moisturized.^^
