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.
ConsIt 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.
TipOn 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!

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

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.
ConsThose 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.

Cons⭐️The artificial orange fragrance was bothersome (I don't like fragranced products, so as soon as I opened it, the artificial orange scent spread and it was a bit disappointing when I applied it..but it was okay since the scent didn't linger when I applied other ampoules or lotions on top) ⭐️The ingredients weren't that great, so I was a bit concerned when absorbing it into my skin ⭐️It caused skin troubles (I'm not sure if it was because I used it with other products or because I applied something I don't normally use, but I started getting pimples and blemishes, so I ended up using it for only about a week before stopping) -This review was written as part of the Hwahae Trial Reviewers program-
TipThe ampoule has a texture that is not watery, so it's fine to squeeze it directly onto your face and apply it.

It has a slightly orange-like or vitamin-like scent that I find pleasant when applying it. While my skin is somewhat sensitive, I didn't experience any irritation or breakouts when using it. I mainly use it as part of my nighttime skincare routine, and would recommend applying it in the evenings rather than mornings.
ConsThe formulation is somewhat sticky, so if applied excessively, it can leave a tacky feeling not only on the face but also on the hands. Therefore, if you prefer a lightweight essence texture, this product may not be suitable.

First, the texture is dense and the color is colorless, and the fragrance is fragrant and nice! In fact, I was worried that the fragrance might not suit me as I have sensitive skin, but in the end, it turned out to be a good match! The first reason I recommend it is the moisture. My skin is stressed by sensitivity, dryness, and redness, but after applying this serum, not only did my complexion improve, but it also felt moisturized and great! The moisture was replenished, and my blemishes also subsided a lot! The second is the lack of irritation! While vitamin serums tend to sting a little, even if not significantly, this product was absorbed smoothly and moisturized without any irritation ☺️ (Of course, it may vary from person to person, so I recommend testing it out first before using it!) The third is the design! The package looks luxurious, so I thought it would be a nice gift for a friend at a reasonable price ☺️ The matte orange bottle with a white dropper cap is very pretty! Since I have a skin that breaks out in partial rashes when I apply products that don't suit me, I'm quite sensitive when it comes to choosing cosmetics. But I'm glad I could get the vitamins and moisture without any irritation.😆
ConsThere were no particular downsides! I wanted to write something, but there's nothing. It's not that I saw an incredibly impressive effect, but I think I saw the maximum effect possible without any irritation! Ah, it may be a bit heavy for those with sensitive skin!
TipThe formula is dense and moisturizing, so it's best to use just a couple of drops dispensed from the dropper. Even for those with oily skin, the right amount should provide good results!

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.ProsI have combination skin with frequent blemishes, so I've been interested in whitening products but was worried that using the wrong ones would cause breakouts, so I was anxious about it. So I tested the product on my neck and the back of my hand first to see if there was any stinging reaction, and ended up using it. As a result, there were no breakouts on my face, and as the name suggests, the Glow Boost Essence is incredibly hydrating and leaves a radiant glow after application. I'd recommend this to those with dry skin and uneven skin tone.
ConsThe formula is almost as sticky as glue, haha. The scent is orange citrus, and it seems to be quite polarizing, but I personally liked the refreshing fragrance (though it doesn't last very long).
TipThe formula is sticky, so it's difficult to apply in the final step. However, if you apply it in the ampoule step and then finish with a cream or other product, the stickiness will be reduced and absorption will be better. I usually apply it at night, but since it contains vitamin C, it would be good to finish with sunscreen if applying during the day.

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 was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and had the opportunity to try it out. ⭐️The fragrance seems to be a bit polarizing. The strong citrus scent was not to my liking. ⭐️After using it for a week, my skin's inner dryness was alleviated, and my face had a subtle inner glow. My overall complexion also appeared brighter. ⭐️I had a few small bumps on my forehead, but when I used it along with an acne ointment and powder product, the bumps significantly reduced! It seems to have helped balance my oil and moisture levels. ⭐️The vitamin C is a functional cosmetic ingredient, so it may sting a bit when first applied, but I personally did not experience that. ⭐️The texture is like a runny serum that flows down easily. It's more viscous than other essences, so a little goes a long way. Layering is not necessary as it hydrates sufficiently on its own. ⭐️I found that gently patting it into my skin and then applying a moisturizer made my face look brighter the next day. ⭐️Personally, I would recommend using it in the evening rather than the morning. If using it in the morning, be sure to apply it lightly so it doesn't interfere with makeup application.
ConsThe price is too expensive and the citrus scent is a bit nauseating. Those who dislike a slight stickiness are not recommended. No matter how diligently you absorb it, the stickiness never goes away.
TipIn the morning, just apply a light 5 drops and let it absorb, and your makeup will apply well! In the evening, layering with a refreshing moisturizer is enough!

I have dark and sensitive skin, so I can't use just anything. But this one was great because I could experience an immediate skin tone improvement right after application! Wow, it's amazing! I have no regrets. It also helps with inner dryness to some degree, improves skin tone, has a nice scent, and is non-sticky, so I'm very satisfied.
ConsIf there is a slight disappointment, it is only because my skin is a bit sensitive..after continuous use, there is a slight stinging? sensation.. it's not too severe, so I'm just continuing to use it^^ However, I'm satisfied in other aspects.
TipI applied the skin - the essence I usually use - the Nordic C essence - and the moisturizer. It's great, with no dryness until morning. Just drop a little on your face, gently massage, and then pat it in - it absorbs right in♡

When I apply this essence and add something else on top, my skin becomes incredibly moisturized and feels great. The fragrance is not an artificial cosmetic smell, but rather a fruity scent, so I can apply it without any aversion. Since it contains vitamin C, after using the product diligently for almost a week, my skin that was tanned from a trip to Thailand feels like it has recovered to some extent.
ConsPersonally, I enjoy a clean and refreshing finish, but I'm a bit disappointed by the sticky feeling.
