The glass bottle quality is so good! ๐๐๐ Although some may say it's heavy, the thick and substantial glass bottle is the reason for its weight. I commend you for using such a high-quality glass bottle. ๐ 2. What does "Isamu-ae" mean? The original meaning of "Isamu-ae" is that the fundamental nature and its manifestation are not two, but one, and they exist in a relationship without obstruction, depending on each other. Therefore, all beings exhibit equality within differences, and equality within differences. It encapsulates the "search for the beauty of all harmony and moderation" in the name "Isamu-ae". It's a truly beautiful philosophy embodied in the name. I love the philosophy of the middle way/moderation, and to have that reflected in the high-quality cosmetics, along with the elegant glass bottle and the profound meaning of the name, is just wonderful. ๐ The packaging copy is also beautiful and conveys a sense of luxury. "Isamu-ae" embodies the philosophy that the ideal of the skin is not different from reality. Isn't that just wonderful? ๐ In simple terms, it means "You become beautiful as you dream." ๐๐๐ 3. The balance of oil and moisture was great. ใ ใ If you use it regularly, you'll find your own personal oil-moisture balance is achieved! Those with dry skin or oily skin will be particularly impressed when they try it. ๐ 4. With just one use, I was satisfied with the quick absorption of both oil and moisture. 4. The moisturizing effect was so great that it made me smile every time I used it. ๐ 5. At first, I felt the deep, surging moisture, and with daily use, I could visibly see the radiant glow. ๐ 6. The most satisfying feeling for me was the moisturized and soothing sensation! As I used it daily, my skin's oil-moisture balance was restored. I'm glad it helped maintain a healthy skin condition! ๐ 7. If you apply the "Isamu-ae Vegan Fermented Moisture Essence" right after cleansing your skin, before it's completely dry, you'll experience even more intense moisturization. ๐ 8. I didn't use any cotton pads! Gently pressing it into the skin with your warm hands will make your skin feel incredibly comfortable. Use your right hand only, and your right hand will become beautifully smooth. Alternate between your left and right hands, using the warm temperature of your hands to absorb the essence. I really enjoyed this process. ๐ 9. Even when using a generous amount, I didn't experience any trouble at all! As I used it daily, my trust in the product grew, and I experienced lasting moisture. ๐ 10. This product is not a toner, but an essence - a Vegan Fermented Moisture Essence. The texture is a flowing, watery type. The name "Essence" is accurate, as it's not too watery, and applying it with the warmth of your hands feels just right. ๐ 11. They said the deep moisturizing power reaches down to the 20th layer of the skin, and I could truly feel the difference in the skin's sensation. 12. The volume is generous - 150ml. Compared to the usual 30ml essence, this is a substantial amount. 5. It's 5 times the usual volume of 30ml essences, which is really impressive. I wanted to commend this as well. ๐ 13. At first, I felt more oil than moisture when applying, but the final skin texture felt more moisturized and comfortable, rather than oily.๐ 14. The absorption is really great! The soft, silky texture was very satisfying. As the name "essence" suggests, it has a serum-like, viscous initial feel [with the oil sensation first], then becomes soft and smooth. ๐ The finish is refreshing. 15. The feel on the skin is incredibly soft. ๐ It's a flowing, watery texture, so you can just scoop an appropriate amount onto your palms and gently press it into the skin. It has a essence-like, juicy feel.๐ 16. This is a first essence that can be used in place of a toner! The "Isamu-ae Vegan Fermented Moisture Essence" opens up the moisture pathways while fully replenishing moisture. I was highly satisfied with it throughout the testing. ๐๐๐ 17. This essence is vegan-certified and has passed skin irritation tests. I didn't experience any trouble at all while using it. It's non-irritating! ๐ 18. The triple vegan fermentation is a technology that allows the skin to absorb the optimal moisture over 720 hours. It's a collaboration between renowned manufacturers, Cosmax and Labo. This is why the credibility has significantly increased. ๐๐๐ 19. This is the first essence in Korea to use the patented triple vegan fermented ingredient, which is 87% fermented rice extract, effective in boosting skin's moisture levels. The fermented rice from Jeju Island is responsible for deep hydration and creating a supple skin texture. The "Isamu-ae Vegan Fermented Moisture Essence" is made with this Jeju rice extract. The Jeju rice can deeply root itself and draw in moisture, even in the island's harsh land. Imagining this moisture being absorbed into my skin was a big part of building my trust and belief in the product. 20. There were so many great aspects to the "Isamu-ae Vegan Fermented Moisture Essence": ๐ธ The moisture-storing power of the Jeju rice that can deeply root itself even in harsh land ๐ธ The maximized delivery of effective ingredients through the long-awaited triple vegan fermentation process ๐ธ The moisturizing boost as the first step in hydrating the skin ๐ธ The conditioning of the disrupted skin balance with the abundant minerals from Jeju volcanic rock water and probiotic ingredients ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ
Cons1. It stung my eyes when I applied it. I wanted to apply it generously around my eyes, but I had to be careful. 2. Two weeks ago, I found it being sold on Naver for around 30,000 won, but today, March 18, 2024, I couldn't find it anywhere. I wish more people could try this "720-hour vegan fermented moisture-binding essence" soon. I hope the company can expand their sales channels to help increase their sales.

I've been using it for about 2 weeks and I'm really satisfied with it! ๐ I had been struggling with about 3 months of inflammatory acne on my chin and had kind of given up on functional products... Whenever the product felt a bit heavy, I would get that stiff, acne-prone feeling, so I was just using a niacinamide serum or something. โ๏ธ Appearance The appearance is so pretty - it has a porcelain-like feel, and even from the moment I opened the packaging, I was like "Ooh, this is so nice!" If your vanity is white and wood, this would look like a little decorative piece. โ๏ธ Texture I thought it might be a thicker skin-type, but it's actually a water-based skin. โ๏ธ Fragrance There's really no fragrance at all. If you stick your nose in, you might get a faint cosmetic smell, but that's it. I'm glad there's no strong fragrance, since skincare products with heavy fragrances sometimes unexpectedly cause me to break out. โ๏ธ Review - It doesn't exacerbate acne This was a huge relief. Since it's a lightweight product, it doesn't make my existing acne worse or make it feel stiff. If anything, it feels a bit soothing. - Skin texture This is amazing! I'm trying a fermented essence for the first time, and I guess it really agrees with me. I've been using only matte products lately, so I kind of gave up on that glowy look, but after about 3 days of using this, my skin became so supple, and even after makeup, there's a beautiful, subtle glow, especially on my forehead, brow bone, and cheekbones. Nowadays, after my skincare routine, I get this lovely glow on those areas that I really love. ๐ซถ - Review photos The 3rd photo is just the basic camera, rear-facing, no filter, and you can see the glow. I cropped it to just show the clean skin. But all over my face, there's this inner glow when I absorb it. The 4th photo is after makeup! I use a double-wear foundation, and you can see this beautiful glow that doesn't get wiped away. :)
ConsIt doesn't get overly moisturized, but it provides a moderate amount of moisture to the skin. Since it's a lightweight skin, those with very dry skin may not be fully satisfied with just this product. The runny texture means that when I first applied it to my face, some got into my eyes, and wow... it stung. I immediately washed my face with water. I don't feel like it's particularly burdensome on the skin, but something in it makes my eyes sting, so I apply it carefully around the eye area.
TipI didn't use a cotton pad, but instead scooped it up with my hands and patted it gently onto my skin. If you apply it thinly about 2 times, your skin will become really soft and radiant! Instead of using a cotton pad, you can gently pat and press it into your skin.

It seems suitable for those sensitive to fragrances. ๐ซIngredients It appears to be composed of very gentle ingredients, perfect for sensitive skin. ๐ซAbsorption It has a typical essence texture, but if you gently pat it in with your hands, it absorbs quickly without leaving any residue on the face. ๐ซMoisturization Using the essence alone may not provide sufficient hydration, but when followed by a lotion, it effectively locks in the deep moisture.
Cons๐ซPrice Although it's not yet on the market, the suggested retail price seems a bit steep. It might be worth trying if it's discounted. ๐ซSensitivity The ingredients are great, but it was a bit irritating for me. It stings if it gets in the eyes.

Moisturizing Although it was labeled as a moisture essence, it surprisingly filled my inner moisture needs. It feels like it captures moisture while also replenishing inner hydration. When I layered it 2-3 times thinly and then applied a moisturizing cream, it was just perfect. 2. Whitening & Anti-Aging Functionality Since I usually apply a barrier-improving cream or a hydrating product after toner, I was very pleased that this first essence had whitening and anti-aging functions. 3. Fragrance-Free This may vary for each individual, but personally, I prefer fragrance-free cosmetics as fragrance gives me headaches. This one is truly fragrance-free, making it easy to apply without any burden. 4. Vegan & Aesthetic Packaging The brand's philosophy and the nature-friendly packaging complement each other very well. Especially the bottle design that looks like an objet d'art ๐ซถ Even the essence cap has been designed to convey a natural feel.
Cons1. It stung a little when it got in my eyes.. Be careful not to get it in your eyes ใ ใ
Tipโจ๏ธ You can layer it thinly to fill your inner moisture and hydration needs!
