I layer it about 3 times before moving on to the next step in my routine.

No matter how much I apply, my skin still feels dry.
I received this as a gift, but I have no intention of repurchasing.

Even though my skin tends to be very dry, this absorbs well.
It has an incredibly watery consistency.

바이오제닉 에센스 블렌디드 포뮬라

Oh, the scent is really... intense. It's the kind of smell that makes you think you shouldn't be applying it to your skin.

It absorbs well and goes on smoothly. I'd say it's decent overall, and it seems to work for more than half of the users.

As others have mentioned, the scent might be a bit unpleasant at first, but it dries quickly so it's not a major issue.

It absorbs well and you can feel your skin becoming more hydrated! Since it's 100% liquid, I recommend applying it with a cotton pad.

First off, the fragrance is too strong... And since the scent really isn't to my liking, I find myself reluctant to use it. For my combination dehydrated skin, the texture was too light.

The texture applies lightly and absorbs quickly! It seems perfect for summer use. I stopped using it for a while due to the scent, but I'm giving it another try now, and it's definitely worth enduring the smell! My complexion is gradually becoming more even and healthier-looking. I'm amazed at how much my skin has improved - it feels somehow softer, and I even used it on my body, which now feels smoother too. I recommend other users to persevere with the scent and apply it consistently for 1-2 weeks.

However, don't worry too much as the scent mostly disappears after a while.

Hmm, the most disappointing aspect of this product is definitely the scent. I have a sensitive nose, and the smell is not to my liking at all - it's rather unpleasant.

I've been using this product for over a month now! (The photo was taken when I first received it for review purposes.) My skin is slightly sensitive, but I didn't experience any tingling or irritation at all. I loved how hydrating it was and how well it absorbed. There was hardly any stickiness too.

For a real boost to your skin's condition, try mixing it with Acnes medical mist in your base skincare routine. You'll notice visible improvements in your complexion.

Initially, you might find the fermented whiskey scent a bit off-putting. However, the smell dissipates quickly once applied to the skin and doesn't linger when the cap is closed. I received this as part of a promotion, but I find the regular price a bit steep for what it offers.

I've been using this product consistently since receiving it on November 19, 2024. It's the first step in my skincare routine, with a water-like consistency that flows easily without any stickiness. While it can be tricky to dispense just the right amount, the large size is generous - even after two months of liberal use, I still have over half the bottle left.

My routine is to apply this right after cleansing to maintain a comfortable skin condition. I've used over half the bottle, and I can feel my skin becoming more refined and smoother. People have been complimenting me on my improved complexion. I'd really like to recommend this to everyone!

The watery texture initially made it feel like it evaporated too quickly. If I had to nitpick...

I won this product from Hwahae and tried it for the first time. My skin is combination, with some areas being extremely dry. At first, I was a bit skeptical but decided to give it a try. The scent was slightly musty, which wasn't my favorite, but it dissipated quickly so it didn't bother me much. The texture is like water, very fluid, but it absorbs well into the skin. I applied multiple layers to ensure thorough absorption. The more I applied, the smoother and more refined my skin felt, so I'm planning to continue using it.

I think the scent might be divisive for some people.

▶️ I'm a man with dry skin!

▶️ This should be applied during the pre-care step. It penetrates deep into the skin and absorbs extremely well.

▶️ The texture is like a watery toner that absorbs quickly.

▶️ In the dry winter, most products evaporate quickly, but this one locks in moisture effectively, providing great hydration.

▶️ The key ingredient from Celllab (Clebbs?) is perfect for tackling my biggest concern - deep dryness!

🔴 The scent is somewhat sweet yet subtle to my liking, but I think this could be a matter of personal preference.

🔴 Given how good the product is, it feels a bit pricey.

Using this first after cleansing maximizes the absorption of subsequent products!

Keep it in the bathroom and apply it about 3 times after cleansing to let it absorb well!

The price might be a bit steep for some. Also, the fermented scent is quite strong, so those with super sensitive skin might not find it suitable.

I love using this before leaving the bathroom as it really helps with deep dryness! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I feel like it even reduces the appearance of dead skin cells.

Nothing to add. I'd like to know if it works for others

I can't see any results. It doesn't seem to have improved anything at all. My pores are still the same...

I've been using this for 6 months and it doesn't irritate my skin, but I'm not sure about its effectiveness

The smell... It's truly the worst among cosmetics I've tried. It has a vinegar-like scent that's so strong, I have to hold my breath when applying it all over my face. I was really taken aback as I've never experienced anything like this before. Usually, the smell dissipates quickly, but this one lingers even until I apply the next ampoule, which is quite shocking. Despite being a watery toner, it doesn't provide any cooling effect. I'm not sure what the main ingredients are. It claims to enhance the absorption of other skincare products, but I'm skeptical. While it doesn't pill under makeup, I don't find that to be a particularly strong selling point.

The packaging? It looks luxurious with its sturdy feel. The product seems to absorb well. It has a watery toner texture, so when applied before makeup, it doesn't cause pilling.
