It gives a smooth, silky feeling. 2. It's gentle with no strong scent, so I can apply it comfortably both at night and in the morning. 3. A perfect essence for dry skin types, even in sticky summers! 4. It's not sticky, so I can apply it before makeup without any issues.
ConsThere's a slight scent similar to SK-II essence (not strong, but noticeable). While there are no major drawbacks, it's disappointing that there are no standout benefits either.
TipMy skin type: Dry (In summer, my pores tend to enlarge, and I sweat a lot, making my skin prone to heat)

The lightweight texture absorbs well whether applied with hands or cotton pads. Using it morning and night, I noticed a reduction in sebum. When I applied it generously at night, I woke up to smooth skin and a brighter complexion the next morning. My combination dehydrated skin is prone to reactions from incompatible ingredients, but I experienced no blemishes or irritation with this product.
ConsYou'll notice the ampoule running out quickly with twice-daily use. I wish it came in a larger size. The scent is quite unique - it's reminiscent of antiseptic, which might be polarizing. It would be great if it also came in a pad format.
TipFor a soothing and brightening effect, try using it as a cold mask with gauze or cotton pads!

Its watery consistency makes it ideal for those with oily skin. After application, my skin felt noticeably softer and smoother, with improved texture. As a booster serum, it works best when followed by an ampoule or cream. The water-like formula absorbs quickly without causing makeup to pill. Applying it with a damp cotton pad felt soothing and refining on the skin. It was gentle enough to use even when my skin was blemish-prone and sensitive.
ConsThe scent was slightly disappointing, reminiscent of Atomy emulsion or liquid slime.
TipIf you have oily skin and enjoy water-like, lightweight serums, I highly recommend this. Try applying it with a damp cotton pad as a mask - it soothes and refines the skin beautifully!

As summer approached, I was concerned about white sebum appearing around my nose and forehead after removing makeup. But thanks to the BHA ingredient, after applying it at night for about 3 days, I could noticeably see a reduction. The results are top-notch! ✅ The texture! It's almost as fluid as a toner, making it super light. It feels like the perfect starter for summer use, which I'm really satisfied with! ✅ With great ingredients, excellent effects, and a reasonable price for the amount, I absolutely recommend this product!
Cons☑️ Due to its lightweight, runny texture, you need to quickly pat it in with your hands when you drop it on your face with the dropper, otherwise it might run down to your chin. ☑️ If I had to nitpick, maybe the scent? When I tested it on the back of my hand, there was a slight artificial or silicone-like smell that I couldn't quite place, which was a bit disappointing. However, I didn't notice any scent when I applied it to my face!

Texture: It has good fluidity, but not as watery as a hydrating serum. 2. Application: It applies smoothly and feels moisturizing when dropped on the face and spread with hands. 3. Absorption: It absorbs into the skin incredibly fast. As a serum applied right after cleansing, its absorption speed is truly remarkable. (I was surprised by how quickly it absorbed, as my skin usually rejects heavier products and requires multiple pats to absorb.) 4. Dead skin cell management: After gently massaging it on problem areas, I noticed a reduction in skin texture. 5. Enhances absorption of subsequent skincare steps ⭐️⭐️⭐️: The finish is slightly tacky, but this tackiness actually improves the absorption of the next skincare steps. (I really felt the difference in toner absorption with and without this product.) Applying toner after this serum seemed to lock in the moisture, elevating the overall hydration to another level! 6. Starting with a serum to lock in moisture seems particularly beneficial for combination dehydrated skin! (I have combination dehydrated skin that tends to feel tight with minimal skincare, but I didn't experience any tightness after using this!)
Cons1. Regarding absorption: The instructions suggest massaging problem areas, but it absorbs so quickly that I experienced slight irritation from the skin friction while massaging. 2. About the tacky finish: While the tacky finish enhances the effectiveness of subsequent products, it might not play well with heavier products, potentially causing pilling. 3. Scent: The scent is a bit... It has a medicinal smell similar to Madecassol.
Tip1. I recommend using a hydrating toner for best results. 2. As I have oily skin in summer, I layered products in this order: Hwahae Serum > Toner > Hydrating Serum > Soothing Cream (Even with multiple layers after the Hwahae Serum, there was no pilling and it worked well!)
