For dry skin, immediate hydration after cleansing is crucial, and this essence is amazing because it instantly absorbs into the skin, balancing oil and moisture, which reduces dryness!
ConsIt's perfect for those with dry skin types, leaving nothing to be desired!
TipFor those with extremely dry skin, try layering a small amount of jojoba essence two or three times right after cleansing for even better results!

I used this product thoroughly from the 19th to the 29th. I have thin, dry skin with some minor blemishes, and I'm shade 19. Recently, my skin has been struggling with the sudden seasonal changes, but using this right after cleansing helps absorb quickly and effectively combats deep dryness. I think it's because of the perfect ratio of oils in the formula. It helps smooth out dead skin cells, making my skin texture super soft. Despite containing oils, it feels lightweight and fresh, not interfering with the next step in my skincare routine. (Layering it twice might even be enough to skip moisturizer!) The packaging is beautiful and clean, making it a great gift option too!
ConsIt might seem a bit pricey, but you only need to use a small amount each time, so the product should last quite a while!
TipFor regular use, shake it once, tap twice onto your palm, rub your hands together, and then apply. On particularly dry days, soak a cotton pad with the product and leave it on for about 5 minutes as a mask pack for extra hydration! If you have thin skin like me, it's better to pat it in with your hands rather than using a cotton pad for absorption!

Lightweight feel Despite being an oil, it doesn't feel greasy and can be used with a refreshing sensation!! I love how it absorbs without feeling heavy, leaving a non-sticky finish that's just perfect~~ It's definitely changing my preconceptions about oil essences! 2. Hydration powerhouse I've been using it as a moisturizing mask with cotton pads! Soak a cotton pad generously, leave it on for about 5 minutes, and voila - you'll reveal skin that's brimming with hydration! My skin texture has become so beautiful, and I'm thoroughly satisfied with the results! The packaging is so pretty that I felt like I was receiving a gift when it arrived! I'm definitely considering repurchasing!
ConsA pump dispenser would have made it more convenient to use. Having to soak the cotton pad each time is a bit of a hassle...
TipIt's the ultimate hydrating mask

I was worried about the 20% oil content since I have combination skin and never used oils before, but it wasn't greasy at all, just nicely moisturizing. Texture - The water-based essence at the bottom blends well, and it absorbs well into the skin. Packaging - The luxurious packaging makes it feel like it was designed for gifting. It has that high-end cosmetics vibe which I love.
ConsScent - This might be a matter of personal preference, but there's a slightly nutty scent, reminiscent of jojoba oil. It's noticeable when applying but doesn't linger. Absorption speed - Probably due to the oil content, it takes a bit of time to fully absorb. If you apply cream immediately after, it might pill slightly, so I recommend waiting a bit before layering. Note: Not ideal for very dry skin in winter. As someone who doesn't usually use oils, I found it perfect for this season. If you have dry skin, I'd recommend using this in summer.
TipI used this right after toner at night. My skin tends to get small bumps when it's dry during seasonal changes, but after using this product, my skin looked smooth and glowy even in the morning. If you're looking for a non-greasy, non-slippery option with just the right amount of hydration, this is the one to pick!

My skin typically has very low absorption and adhesion, causing oil-based products to sit on the surface. I usually avoid using anything except creams, but this product absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling clean and hydrated without any pilling. I'm quite satisfied. Personally, I appreciated the subtle scent - it's a faint, herbal aroma, different from the typical jojoba oil fragrance.
ConsIt's a bit unclear at which step in the skincare routine this product should be applied.
TipIf you only shake it lightly, the oil and essence won't mix well, as shown in the photo. Make sure to shake it thoroughly to blend the components properly before use.

That's why I love that this essence contains oil, eliminating the need for a separate oil application. It's great for simplifying my skincare routine. When applied, it feels moisturizing, with a slightly oily finish at night, but not overly greasy. It absorbs well into the skin, leaving a protective layer that feels like a perfect balance of oil. This seems to help prevent moisture loss.
ConsThe scent is really not for me. I'm not sure if it's the jojoba oil fragrance or a blend created during formulation, but I just can't get used to it no matter how many times I smell it.

Texture This essence has a dual-layer structure with separate oil and water layers. You need to shake it before use, and watching the layers mix is so beautiful! The oil and water layers blend well, resulting in a fluid consistency. Once mixed, it has a slight viscosity, but it absorbs lightly into the skin without any stickiness. 2. Packaging It comes in a transparent 80ml bottle, and it's gorgeous to see the separated layers inside. The dispenser controls the amount well, so you don't end up with too much product. 3. Application Due to its high oil content, I found that 3-4 drops were sufficient. It absorbs well, instantly sinking into the skin. I think even those with dry skin will be satisfied with this. 4. Effects Thanks to the jojoba oil, it feels like it's deeply hydrating the skin and creating a moisture barrier. I especially noticed that when my skin was rough due to dryness, using this made it feel much smoother. True to the brand name 'Gyeolharusu', I felt my skin texture improving.
ConsAs it's an oil-rich essence, it might not suit those with oily skin types.
TipTry using this as a step before applying a modeling mask. It provides deep hydration right to the core of your skin.

There's hardly any scent, and it absorbs well. I loved how it provided instant hydration upon application. The packaging is also pretty and sleek, which I appreciate.
ConsSince it's an essence with oil, even after it's fully absorbed, there's an oil film left behind which might feel a bit heavy. It can be slightly inconvenient to shake before use.
TipWhen your skin feels dry, pat this on and you'll immediately feel the hydration. Even a small amount provides excellent moisturizing effects. After applying the essence, instead of using a heavy cream, just use a light moisturizer. This way, it absorbs well and doesn't make your skin feel congested.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsIt's not as oily as I expected. The well-balanced formula makes it moisturizing and absorbs well, so it doesn't feel heavy. It forms a protective layer on the skin that prevents moisture loss, keeping it hydrated for a long time. It even has a cooling effect, which isn't just because of winter, but actually lowers skin temperature momentarily. If you don't have extremely dry skin, this essence alone might be sufficient.
ConsThe scent might be a bit divisive. I personally didn't mind the jojoba fragrance, but it's worth noting that it's not unscented.
TipIt's convenient to use gua sha after absorbing the product and layering it on the skin.
