I feel like they've slightly diminished.
ConsIt stings a bit when first applied, kind of like a 'little shot' sensation. My eye area is sensitive, and it gets itchy after using this. However, it didn't actually cause any blemishes or other issues.

ConsIt's oily and causes blemishes. My skin gets itchy with redness appearing. After using it for a few days, I immediately ordered Esnature again
TipIt runs like a toner, so you need to control the amount carefully. I've tried applying both small amounts and layering it, but there's no real hydration

Here's my honest review, but please keep in mind that it includes my personal opinions. Skin and Test Information: Skin Type: Dry Test Period: 7 days Product Information: Brand: Primay Product Name: Triple Effect Synergy Serum Volume: 50ml Main Purpose: Skin soothing, hydration, improving elasticity Texture and Packaging: Texture: Light water-essence formula with a slight oiliness Packaging: Hygienic pump bottle with a clean design Scent: Reminiscent of cucumber soap Caution Ingredients: None POSITIVES: 1. Absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling fresh. 2. After use, skin tone appears more even with a slight improvement in elasticity. 3. Non-sticky (There's a slight oiliness, but it's not bothersome). 4. The light texture makes it easy to apply gently to the skin.
ConsNEGATIVES: 1. For dry skin, this product alone isn't enough - a cream is necessary to pair with it. 2. The pump is stiff, and due to the watery texture, it tends to splash when pumping. 3. My skin experienced some redness and mild itching. 4. The scent might be bothersome for those sensitive to fragrances. Personal Evaluation: When using this product, I appreciated how it made my skin feel overall lighter and smoother. While not perfect, it did help somewhat with dryness, which was nice. However, it seems my skin might not be compatible with it, as I experienced some redness and itching, so I probably won't use it frequently.
TipHelpful Tips: 1. Make sure to shake the bottle 3-5 times before use. 2. For enhanced hydration, follow up with a light moisturizer after applying the serum.

I applied it in thin layers after a light toner, followed by a light emulsion to finish. Despite being oil-rich, it absorbs well and instantly gives amazing glow and elasticity! Usually I layer multiple moisturizing products in winter, but with this serum I only need a light emulsion on top. The radiance is truly remarkable. The scent is mild and not bothersome. Being vegan and gentle, I felt comfortable using it liberally.
ConsWhile it was fine for me, a friend with blemish-prone skin felt a slight itching right after application, though it subsided quickly. If you're prone to blemishes, I'd recommend patch testing first before applying to your face.
TipAfter applying retinol, I gently pat this serum on in 2-3 thin layers, then use a sheet mask - the results for elasticity and glow are incredible! Perfect for special occasions. For those without extremely dry skin, one application should suffice. It's ideal for winter, but I plan to use it year-round except summer (thin layer in spring/fall, 2-3 layers in winter). Make sure to shake the bottle vigorously to fully mix the oil layer!

Scent: A natural, grassy or watermelon-like scent? Could be polarizing. Texture: Clear, water-like consistency (Dual-phase, needs shaking before use). Due to its runny texture, it's best to pump it onto your palm. Absorbs well and quickly. Contains a bit of oil, but not sticky at all... Feels lightweight. After application, there's a subtle glow and it feels like it creates a thin moisturizing barrier that locks in hydration. It doesn't feel dry at all, making it great for skincare before makeup. Works well for daily use in dry weather. I'll need to use it longer to see if it helps improve pores.
ConsNot recommended to use with other functional products. When layered with other products, I felt a slight burning and itching sensation. Not sure which product it didn't mix well with. It was fine when used alone or with a pure moisturizer. Compatibility with your other products seems important.

When applying the product, it has a bamboo scent, but initially, I thought it had a subtle cucumber-like fragrance. I love the scent of mugwort and cucumber! So, I really enjoyed this product as it fits my preference for skincare with herbal ingredients like mugwort and omija. The serum has a mysterious purple oil in it, which made me fall in love with its beauty while applying. Remember to shake it 3-5 times before use, as the oil is separated in two layers and needs to be mixed before application.
ConsWhen I first used it, my face felt a bit tingly - perhaps I overdid the cleansing beforehand. From days 2-6, I used it without any issues. The oil in the product creates a barrier that prevents moisture loss, so it worked well for me! However, on day 7, after a gentle face wash and application, I experienced some stinging and itching. While I don't have super sensitive skin, it didn't agree with me twice. Instead of using it daily, I think it would suit me better if I used it once every 2-3 days.

Cons<First product I haven't given 5 stars to> 1. When I use this product alone, it stings so much! It's also a bit itchy. It feels exactly like applying hand cream to extremely dry hands... I've never experienced anything like this with skincare before. I'm not sure why, but I'm hesitant to use it again... 2. Absolutely not recommended for oily skin. It's extremely greasy. The oiliness doesn't give a moisturizing feeling AT ALL. Instead, it feels heavy and uncomfortable due to excess oil. 3. I wish it had a dropper-style applicator instead... The current pump-style dispenser is inconvenient because the product flows out too much. When you pump it, the formula splashes everywhere! 4. There's also a noticeable scent that might be polarizing.
Tip* A patch test is absolutely necessary before use. * The inconvenience of having to shake it 4-5 times before use + skin irritation + high price = I'd rather not use it, honestly.

It seems to provide both hydration and moisture in one bottle. When I apply this essence in the morning, I definitely notice less deep dryness throughout the day! Texture: While it has a separate oil layer, it's not heavy at all. It feels like a very light essence-toner with just a touch of oil! The texture is bouncy yet watery, full of hydration, and comfortable to apply morning or night without feeling burdensome. Scent: The scent might be perceived as artificial by some, but I find it to be a very subtle, sweet fragrance! It's not overpowering or off-putting at all, which I actually quite like. Volume and Price: For 50ml at this price point and with these ingredients, I think it's excellent value for money. Satisfaction: I've been very satisfied with Frimay's sheet masks before, and this is my first time trying their essence. I'm equally impressed! I've finally found a new essence I love. Even my husband took a look at the brand after trying it once!
ConsI don't usually have sensitive skin and had been using this product well, but one weekend day my forehead became unusually itchy. I'm not sure if it's because I'm pregnant or due to this product, but since this essence was the only change in my routine, I suspect it might be the oil content. I'd recommend using it when your skin is in good condition.
Tip1. Recommended for use in cold autumn and winter rather than spring and summer 2. Recommended for combination dehydrated skin types (not suitable for oily skin)

It's best applied after other skincare steps to lock in moisture. You can definitely feel the hydration and firmness right after application. As mentioned on the product box, I noticed the most improvement in elasticity once it dried. It absorbs incredibly fast, and its moisturizing properties make it perfect to use after toner. As someone sensitive to fragrances, I appreciate that the scent is mild, reminiscent of watermelon and cucumber. Bakuchiol, being gentler than retinoid-based active ingredients, seems safer for daytime use and less irritating, making it great for light application in winter. I love that it's vegan and has a low-irritation rating, which gave me peace of mind while using it.
ConsThe pump dispenser is a bit tricky to use, making application challenging. As a layered product, it requires thorough shaking before use, but the layers don't mix easily, demanding extra effort. The extremely thin, water/oil-like texture makes it inconvenient to apply directly to the face as it tends to run. When I tested it on my hand, it felt slightly itchy. The next day, I noticed a blemish on my cheek. Those with combination dehydrated skin or super sensitive skin should definitely do a patch test before purchasing. Even with an excellent rating, individual reactions can vary.
TipIf you have sensitive skin or are prone to blemishes, do a patch test before buying. Be careful not to over-apply, as its rich formula might clog pores. When using with other products, it's best not to layer too many items. As this is a bakuchiol serum (similar to retinoids), it's crucial to apply it in the evening when there's no sun exposure. Be aware that it could potentially cause freckles or dark spots if not used carefully. Tips: Apply moderately after toner, use in the evening, and it's especially recommended for winter use!
