At first, I thought it might be sticky, but once absorbed, there was no stickiness at all. As someone with super sensitive skin, I felt a slight tingling sensation when I first used it, but it was fine with continued use
ConsDue to its unique texture, it doesn't absorb quickly, and there's a bit of richness to it, which was slightly disappointing

Skin type: Sensitive, Combination Ingredients: No concerning ingredients from a list of 20 common irritants, and no known allergens. This made it suitable for my sensitive skin, providing a gentle and satisfying experience. Hydration: In this windy and dry season when deep dryness is common, this product provided both surface and deep hydration. On an extremely tiring day, I only applied this after toner before sleeping, and didn't experience any dryness at all. Fragrance: Fragrance-free Vegan: As many people now seek vegan cosmetic products, I appreciated that this is vegan-friendly. Soothing 5 daily skin stressors: True to its claims, it seemed effective in instantly hydrating and soothing irritated skin. Formulated to meet infant skincare standards, it appears safe for use from infants to adults, including those with sensitive skin. Throughout my use, I experienced no skin issues related to this product.
ConsStickiness: Due to the product's formulation, which includes glucamine (similar to the protective mucus secreted by snails, yams, and mushrooms), those sensitive to texture might find it a bit sticky. Richness: After application, there's a slight rich feeling that those who dislike oiliness might find excessive. Fragrance: Personally, I prefer products with a pleasant scent over fragrance-free or those with a raw ingredient smell, so this aspect was slightly disappointing for me.
TipFor nighttime care, layering 2-3 basic products including this one left my skin feeling sufficiently hydrated the next morning. On extremely tiring days when I wanted to minimize my skincare routine, using just toner and this product was enough to prevent dryness. In our busy modern lives, having a product that works this well with minimal effort is truly a blessing.

Takes it to kindergarten and applies frequently. Appreciates the fragrance-free formula even more. After a week of use, it calmed down eczema and unexplained rashes. (Only applied Lidomax twice during this period)
ConsPersonally, I'd prefer if it had a slightly richer feel. Consider making the container a bit lighter and increasing the product volume
TipSince it's non-irritating, feel free to reapply as often as needed

But this ampoule was amazing to apply without any irritation. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, it's incredibly hydrating and has just the right amount of richness, making it perfect for winter. However, I wouldn't recommend using it before makeup as it can cause pilling. The volume you get for this price is truly a bargain. There's honestly no reason not to use it, really...
ConsI'm not exaggerating, there are no real drawbacks. However, if you have oily skin, the rich texture might potentially cause blemishes. But for my combination dehydrated skin, it was absolutely perfect.

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.ProsEven with a small amount, it applies smoothly and instantly refines skin texture! It feels cooling when applied, reducing any heat sensation. The product absorbs quickly and doesn't feel sticky even when layered, leaving a fresh finish. As someone with normal skin, I think I could use this year-round! It's moisturizing without being drying. Despite having super sensitive skin, it didn't cause any blemishes and was incredibly gentle.
ConsWell... it's not heavy at all, but there's a slight rich feeling. However, rather than feeling greasy, it seems to balance oil and moisture, which I really liked. Still, I wouldn't recommend it for very oily skin except in winter. Also, it feels a bit pricey for the amount you get. But the pleasant user experience somewhat makes up for it. Additionally, for some reason, it felt a bit drying to me? It seemed like the hydration evaporated quickly.
TipIf you layer it several times, your skin becomes moisturized with a glow, achieving that coveted Inner Glow. Just make sure to seal it in with a cream at the end, as if you're creating a protective layer!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsPoints I was satisfied with: I was originally using VNA essence, but after winning this from The Hwahae Testers, I've been using it as a makeup base and daily for quite a while. It's indeed quite versatile. The quantity is generous too. Compared to what I was using before, it has a thinner consistency, so I was worried about stickiness, but it absorbs well, resulting in less sticky finish. It's quite surprising - it really feels like it's coating your skin with a moisturizing barrier. In the photo, I deliberately dimmed the lighting to show the glow after application and absorption. To be honest, VT's Real Shot didn't suit me, but among the products I've tried from The Hwahae Testers, this is my favorite. I've also used it as a makeup base, and it's a solid choice. There's some slight flaking of dead skin cells, but given the harsh winter weather, it's not unbearable. For reference, my makeup base routine is: Toner - Essence - Ampoule - Emulsion, in this order!
ConsAs for downsides, there's nothing significant enough to mention regarding blemishes. I used it without any issues, but for extremely dry skin, using this alone might not provide quite enough hydration. For oily skin, it might be a bit much to use in the peak of summer. I have combination dehydrated skin leaning towards oily, and I feel it might be borderline too rich in summer. It does have a slightly rich feel! The consistency is somewhat runny, so when dispensing, it tends to drip or smear a bit.
TipThere's a feeling that when you apply this, it creates a moisturizing barrier! If you apply it after soaking your skin with toner and liquid-type ampoule, it seems like it would lock in the hydration really well.

My desk is directly in the path of the heater, so my skin was always dry and irritated after work. But after applying this product, I noticed a significant reduction in dryness and redness. The essence has a nice viscous texture that makes it easy to spread and pat onto the face.
ConsAs someone with oily yet deeply dehydrated skin, I felt the product was a bit too rich for me. When I applied it in the morning, by lunchtime my skin felt overly oily. I think I'll use this more as part of my nighttime routine instead.

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.ProsI started using this product as soon as I was selected as a Hwahae Tester! VT says they created this essence inspired by the protective mucus secreted by snails, yams, and mushrooms. I mention this because the texture is mucus-like and drips down, as you can see in the second photo. The best feature in my opinion: It balances oil and moisture beautifully. After absorption, it leaves a powdery finish like a protective film on the skin. The hydration lasts incredibly long, which was very satisfying for my combination skin. VT's Glucamune Essence page mentions that it soothes 5 types of daily skin irritations (heat, physical, chemical, temporary itching from dryness, and UV). For me, the most noticeable soothing effect was on 'itching caused by dryness'. As someone with combination, sensitive, and blemish-prone skin, I sometimes get unbearably itchy on my cheeks and butterfly zone. Scratching would lead to redness and blemishes. But in the two weeks I've been using this product, I haven't felt that itchiness at all. It might be psychological, but I'm very satisfied with this aspect.
ConsThe biggest drawback for me is this: As I mentioned earlier, I have combination and blemish-prone skin. While this product does balance oil and moisture, I still felt it was a bit rich for my skin. In the third photo, I used an oil blotting sheet after absorption... As you can see, there's quite a bit of oil (it felt even more excessive to me!). My skin is very prone to blemishes when oil remains on the surface, so using blotting papers was a must for me.
TipThis essence seems perfect for those with dry skin. However, since it's effective for deep hydration and improving skin dehydration (and I saw results too!), I think it could work well for combination, oily, and combination-dehydrated skin types as well. Here's how these three skin types can use it effectively: 1. Apply the essence to your cheeks and forehead, then use the remaining amount for your chin and nose (portion control). 2. Allow sufficient time for absorption (absorption time varies by skin type). 3. Gently press an oil blotting paper on your cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. 4. Finish with a light moisturizer and let it absorb. *Try to avoid burying your face in your pillow while sleeping as much as possible.

Those who dislike heavy textures will appreciate this. It absorbs well! When applied, it sinks right into the skin without feeling sticky or causing makeup to pill. Highly recommended for super sensitive skin! It's gentle enough for babies, so it won't irritate eyes or skin. Being fragrance-free, it's great for those sensitive to scents.
ConsWhile it's easy to apply, don't expect intense hydration or a rich feel from this lightweight formula.
TipThis product alone may not provide all the hydration you need, but when used with a moisturizer, it seems to effectively lock in moisture!

Product Introduction VT Cosmetics Glucamune Essence is a product that helps strengthen the skin barrier and provide hydration. It aids in soothing the skin and maintaining a healthy complexion. 2. How to Use After cleansing and toning, apply an appropriate amount to your hands and gently pat it into your skin for absorption. It can be used both morning and evening, and works well with other skincare products in your routine. 3. User Experience - Texture: The essence has a lightweight, gel-like consistency with a watery feel that absorbs easily into the skin. It's not sticky, leaving your skin feeling refreshed after application. - Effects: Immediately after use, skin feels more hydrated and dryness is significantly improved. With consistent use, I noticed my complexion brightening and a reduction in blemishes. - Scent: It has a subtle fragrance that makes application enjoyable. The scent isn't overwhelming, making it suitable for those with super sensitive skin. 4. Overall Assessment VT Cosmetics Glucamune Essence excels in providing hydration and soothing the skin, making it highly recommended for those with skin concerns. It's particularly suitable for those looking to strengthen their skin barrier. I believe it offers excellent value for money in terms of performance.
Cons1. Results may vary depending on skin type: Despite its lightweight texture, those with very oily skin might feel a slight richness left on their skin. 2. Product size: Some may find the volume of the product a bit on the smaller side. Using it twice daily, morning and night, means it tends to run out quickly. Some users might feel the amount you get for the price is a bit lacking. 3. Individual differences in effectiveness: It doesn't guarantee the same results for all skin types. Those with super sensitive skin may experience allergic reactions to certain ingredients, so it's advisable to do a patch test before full application.
