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.
ConsAs 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.

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 👍

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.
ConsThere 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.
TipThe 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.

It has a refreshing fragrance. If you have oily skin, applying it in the evening may be effective for moisturizing.
ConsIf you apply it during the day when you are active, it may feel a bit heavy on oily skin. Other than that, there are no inconveniences.

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.

It's thinner than you might expect for an essence! If it's too heavy, there's a stuffy feeling, but it provides good moisture while having a refreshing finish, which I liked~ ✔️ Usage Experience I was extremely satisfied with the usage experience! It doesn't make my face feel sticky, and it gives a subtle yet radiant glow, making my skin look really nice! I usually use a high-coverage foundation, so there's sometimes a dull finish to my makeup, but using this, that problem was gone, and I really liked that! ✔️ Packaging While using basic skincare products, I've never really thought about or paid attention to the packaging, but the Isamu Ae cosmetics have such a clean package design that it just makes me feel good when using them☺️ Personally, I liked the color scheme and the matte finish of the container.
ConsI didn't have any issues!! However, since it's a fermented product, those who don't do well with fermented products should be cautious!

As someone with dry skin, I have to apply toner right after cleansing and then essence almost immediately to prevent my skin from feeling tight. But the Asamune essence doesn't leave my skin feeling tight even 5 minutes after application! (I tried waiting a few days to see) My makeup also applies really well after finishing my skincare routine. If you have dry skin, I highly recommend this product!👍
ConsI'm using it without any issues! The bottle design is sleek and premium, but it does feel a bit heavy.

ConsAs I have oily skin, breakouts are always a concern, but I didn't see much effect on them. 😭 Also, the glass packaging is heavy and inconvenient to use, and I'm worried it might break if I drop it. 😢 Nowadays, even plastic packaging is often made from recycled materials that are environmentally friendly. I think it would be better if the packaging was made of plastic to improve the convenience.
TipIt's better to apply the product in multiple layers, absorbing it each time, rather than applying a large amount at once, to make your skin more moisturized!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis was my first time using a fermented essence, and the next morning after using it, my skin felt softer than usual. The moisture was certainly better than regular toner, and for my oily skin, this product alone was sufficient to provide enough hydration in the toner-essence step, which I was able to skip. I was very satisfied with the results.
ConsAt first, the moisturizing feel was nice, so I layered it on twice, but it ended up feeling a bit oily. It might be a bit heavy for oily skin types, so you'll need to be careful with the amount you apply. And like most essences, using it with a cotton pad means you end up using a lot of product, which is a bit of a shame.
TipPersonally, I'd recommend applying it with your hands to absorb it directly, without using a cotton pad.
