Easy to Apply

On days when you don't apply a face pack after toner, you can just wipe with toner once and then immediately apply an essence, and it will make your skin just as moisturized as if you had used a face pack!

It would be great if a larger capacity version was released. I love it so much that I use it every day, and it's a shame that it runs out so quickly.

I used the Hwahae Trial Reviewers product for 2 weeks, and it had great spreadability, a nice and creamy texture, and excellent absorption. It didn't dry out my skin, leaving it feeling moisturized and supple. It was easy to use, and the size was not too large, making it convenient to carry around.

Every morning and evening, after cleansing, I applied it first, and then used the other products. Despite its viscosity, it does not seem to interfere with the absorption of the other products, which I like!!

If I had to pick, the quantity is rather small compared to the prices of the retail products.

I prefer gentle products as I have sensitive skin, and I was especially cautious now as my skin has become more sensitive (with issues like peeling, dryness, etc.). But I found this product to be completely non-irritating and gentle. In fact, I noticed my face looking brighter just 3 days after using it morning and evening. The 30ml bottle lasts me about 2 months, using just 3 drops at a time.

It has a serum-like, slightly viscous texture, and is meant to be applied right after cleansing, before toner. I would definitely repurchase this product.

This review is being posted a month later, as I had to use a different phone due to a screen issue.

When drying, it's a good idea to apply in two or three layered coats.

It was difficult to feel my skin dramatically brightening.

I have a combination skin type (dry + oily).
I've been applying it morning and evening for about 2 weeks!
The formula is not too watery or too thick, it's a comfortable formula.
It absorbs quickly and leaves a refreshing feel.
I think I can recommend this to people with normal skin types.🥰

It is an essence, so the moisture content is abundant and good, but the feeling of protected skin barrier and nourishment is relatively less.
I am applying another serum along with the essence. The two have slightly different characteristics, so the complementary use works well.

This product gives a strong sense of applying moisture to the face. The fragrance is a subtle citrus that is not overpowering, which I found to be good. The product felt heavier than expected given the level of moisture it provides, but I found it to be better for application.

When applied properly and absorbed, there is no such feeling, but it's a pity that the finishing touch is slightly sticky.

I was glad that it was a vitamin product that could be applied regardless of morning or evening, and I was worried that the inclusion of blueberry extract might be irritating, but it fits me very well without any such issues, and I'm really enjoying using it!

Especially when applying a moisturizer containing ceramides, it seems to be well-suited and keep the skin hydrated even in the winter.

Right after application, there is a slightly tacky and sticky feeling, and absorption is quite slow. 😟 I applied 4 drops using 1 pump of the dropper, and it took about 10 minutes for the product to be fully absorbed across my entire face. Even after absorption, the application is not entirely even, and there are some shiny spots in certain areas.✨

Vitamin C has shattered the prejudice that it is irritating: 
As it was the coldest time of the year in early February, I started using it when my face was already flushed. It was blotchy... 🥹 My skin was sensitive, so I had been avoiding other vitamin C products for a while. 🥶 I had experienced a burning sensation or breakouts when using vitamin C products before, so I was hesitant, but it was very gentle!!! 💗

It's gentle for sensitive skin that is allergic to fragrances and other additives:
The color is almost colorless and transparent, and the fragrance is very mild. A light soapy? scent, but refreshing. 🧼

It absorbs completely and doesn't peel or sit on the surface:
It has a slightly viscous and glossy texture, so it absorbs completely after a while (refer to the product image), and even when I apply a moisturizing cream or lotion on top, it sinks in smoothly. It doesn't clump or peel when layering other products, making it easy to layer. 🧴

It calms redness and evens out skin tone:
While calming is not its main function, it unexpectedly evened out my skin tone very well. 💖

My skin looks brighter:
Since my skin is already quite fair, the product didn't make me look whiter, but it made my skin look more radiant and even-toned. 🌞

The applicator's durability is weak, and it has been a short time since it was used, so it has separated and I'm using it like this haha... Also, the absorption power is a bit lacking for my skin...!

The function as an essence is good, I think. The skin texture improves the next day.

The severe dryness was alleviated by mixing the Cha-en-Pak ampoule and applying it, then following up with the application of the Physiogel cream, which left my skin feeling moisturized and pleasant.

In the drying season, it's not extremely moisturizing, so using it alone can be difficult, but it would be good to apply a cream on top.

I've been using it for a week.
As I've reached my mid-30s, my skin is combination in the summer but dry in the winter.
I've been experiencing dryness, redness around my nose, and flaky skin, but after using the Cha-eun-bak ampoule and then applying the Physiogel, the flaky skin has improved.
This is the second time I'm using this ampoule, and it's lightweight, not greasy, and absorbs quickly.
I didn't feel any clogged pores, and while it was a bit sticky at first, it became less sticky as it absorbed.
I used this ampoule along with the Cha-eun-bak ampoule and the Physiogel, and my complexion seems a bit brighter.

2.12 additional content:
A friend told me that my skin looks bright and smooth, and the only new product I've added to my routine is a vitamin C item.

Those who use multiple ampoules and serums should not use the first one.
It ends up feeling sticky, and the skin has difficulty absorbing the products applied afterward.

I used it from 1/27 to 2/10.
Skin type: combination
It has a bit of viscosity but spreads well.
When I used the night care routine of serum + Nordic essence + moisturizer, it was quite nourishing and moisturizing, so my skin felt a bit overloaded the next morning.
Switching to serum + Nordic essence / Nordic essence + moisturizer worked well. 👍
I was hoping my skin would brighten up due to the vitamin content, but I didn't notice a significant difference in 2 weeks, so I think I need to use it for a month to see the results.
The scent is a typical refreshing citrus fragrance of vitamins.
The scent is not unpleasant and feels natural, which I liked.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the natural glow and skin tone improvement, but in terms of cost-effectiveness, it's a bit disappointing!

⚠️ Disappointing aspects (downsides)

1. Lack of moisturizing power: During the dry winter season, using it alone was not sufficient for moisturizing, and additional moisturizing products were needed.

2. Variation based on skin type: As a person with sensitive skin, I experienced a slight stinging sensation when I first started using it due to the vitamin C ingredient. It was more of a tingling feeling than a burning sensation!

3. Price range: The price may feel a bit high compared to the product volume. 😢

4. Limited short-term effects: Immediate skin changes were not as noticeable, and consistent use was required. However, after using it diligently twice a day for 2 weeks, I could perceive a subtle brightening of my skin tone. This was the result of taking daily photos and closely observing the changes.

1. Rapid absorption: The lightweight formula is quickly absorbed into the skin, leaving a refreshing, non-sticky finish.

2. Radiance: After using it consistently for 2 weeks, I noticed that my skin appeared more luminous and glowing, though I can't say for certain if it's just my imagination.

3. Natural ingredients: With cloudberry and vitamin C, it is said to be gentle on the skin and provide excellent antioxidant benefits.

4. Skin tone improvement: With continued use, I felt that my skin tone became more even and uniform. I truly felt that my complexion looked brighter.

5. Subtle fragrance: The pleasant, non-overpowering scent was enjoyable.

The product is moisturizing but the effects need to be observed further.
The moisture content is good, but the radiance effect is minimal.
When applied, it definitely feels moisturizing and refreshing, but the noticeable radiance or skin tone improvement effect was not as significant as expected.
The absorption is quick, but it can be slightly drying.
The moisture content is decent, but when used alone, there is a lingering dryness, so a moisturizing cream must be applied together. For dry skin, it should be used with a hydrating product! By the way, my skin is extremely dry!
Overall, the gentle and lightweight feel is good, but if you were expecting immediate results from the vitamin C, the product may be somewhat disappointing.
However, 30ml for 4.5 is quite expensive. Please provide more discounts so I can consider repurchasing.

✨ Soft, fresh, and fragrant Vitamin C essence! ✨

I was worried that Vitamin C products might be too irritating, but this product is really gentle and absorbs moisturizing. The lightweight and refreshing formula absorbs quickly and smoothly without any stickiness, so I can use it comfortably even in the morning.

👍Moisturizing & Radiant Effect
After using it, my skin is definitely more hydrated and glowing. With consistent use, my skin tone also seems to have naturally brightened.

👍Gentle and Soothing Texture
Even with my dry, sensitive skin, it didn't cause any troubles or irritation. It feels comfortable and non-irritating, so it's great for daily use.

👍No Pilling Under Makeup
Thanks to the fast absorption and soft, moisturizing finish, my makeup applies smoothly without any pilling or lifting.

I'd recommend this to those who find Vitamin C products too harsh, as well as anyone who wants brighter, more radiant skin. ☀️💛 The scent is especially lovely - a fresh, orange fragrance. 🍊🍊🧡🧡
