But when I rub it with my hands, it melts away quickly and leaves a moisturizing feeling, then it quickly absorbs into the skin. The chemical or artificial smell is unpleasant, so I don't use it much, but the peach scent is not overpowering and has a subtle fragrance, which I like.
ConsI have a complex and dry skin type, but I tend to use a face mask once a day. When I apply this product, it absorbs quickly and leaves a supple feeling, which I like. However, it may lack sufficient moisture for dry skin types. (If you generally dislike products that leave a residue on the surface, especially for combination or dry skin, I would highly recommend this!)

It arrived in a Bbia box, which surprised me at first, but I guess it's a new launch. Though it says 'peach' on the packaging, there's not a hint of peach scent. I was worried about that typical glutathione smell, but surprisingly, it's quite pleasant! No unpleasant odors at all, just a fresh scent. Practically speaking, it's a gel-type essence, but I'm using it as a toner. When you rub it in, it becomes dewy like little water droplets. You might think you've applied it all, but there might be a gel bead or two left - just press those in with your fingertips and they absorb perfectly with your body heat! I have dry skin and was worried about dryness, but there's no stickiness and it's actually really good. It helps with deep hydration, so I've been using it as my evening toner daily. Once I finish this bottle, I'll definitely repurchase! Bbia is turning out to be a hidden gem!
ConsHmm... While it might not be completely satisfying for extremely dry skin in winter, it provides a decent level of hydration that would be great for other seasons. It's not entirely gentle though.

The round lid makes my vanity look adorable! 2. My skin is super sensitive and usually turns red and tingles when I use harsh products, but this essence causes no irritation at all. It's so gentle, I'm very satisfied. I'll probably repurchase this when I run out! 3. I love the subtle and delicate fragrance. 4. I have extremely dry skin, but this essence leaves my skin feeling hydrated without any sense of dryness after application. It's not overly rich, just pleasantly moisturizing. 5. The gel texture provides a cooling effect when applied, which is great. It's especially nice in summer when skin is irritated by UV rays, as it helps lower skin temperature a bit. 6. The container is fairly transparent, so I can easily see how much essence is left. 7. The shelf life is incredibly long.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about the product quality... But if I have to come up with something to critique, I wish the product name on the container was written in large Korean characters rather than English.

It's moisturizing and when applied to the face, it seems to melt and absorb quickly like water, gliding on smoothly. After absorption, it feels light as if you've applied a water-rich hydrating cream. Scent: While the soothing houttuynia cordata version in the same essence line has a subtle cica scent, this one was expected to have a fresh peach fragrance. However, it has a typical, mild feminine essence smell. It's slightly disappointing that the peach scent isn't noticeable. Features: It boasts a combination of niacinamide, glutathione, and PHA/LHA in appropriate amounts, along with a proprietary formulation. As someone with oily skin, I really appreciate its fluid essence texture. It brightens the skin, locks in hydration, and isn't sticky at all. It's a winner for oily skin types and perfect for the sweltering summer heat.
ConsThe round cap might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it grows on you and becomes quite attractive with use. It's actually a plus for an essence bottle. However, the round caps on their cream products, which can't stand upright, might be a bit disappointing for some.
TipFor both products in this essence line (houttuynia cordata and niacinamide), which have a water-rich jelly texture, try storing them in the refrigerator. It feels incredibly refreshing on your face!
