Pros
I've been using this for over three months, and it's both rich and gentle. Even though I have combination skin, I hardly felt any dryness when applying just this product.
Cons
I prefer a fresh finish, so at first I didn't like it because it felt a bit sticky. However, it gets better as time passes.

Pros
I've been using this consistently for about two weeks. The packaging, both the box and the product, is incredibly simple and minimalist. I appreciate that it's not excessive packaging that generates a lot of waste. While it's called a calming serum, likely due to the panthenol content, I found it functions more as a hydrating serum. Thanks to various glycerin ingredients, it provides excellent hydration despite being a serum. For those with oily skin, this product alone might provide sufficient hydration in summer. The scent is supposedly unscented, but for some reason, there's a very faint, sweet coconut-like aroma. The texture is slightly thicker than a typical runny gel-type toner. Since it's not a lightweight water-type serum, it moisturizes well but doesn't absorb super quickly and has a slight stickiness. In conclusion, I'm very satisfied. I especially recommend this for dry skin types needing a viscous, highly hydrating serum.
Cons
There weren't any major disappointments, but the slightly sticky feeling that lingers after application was a bit of a letdown. However, its excellent hydrating power makes up for it.
Tip
For those with oily skin, this could work great as a summer moisturizer on its own.

Pros
After using it daily for 10 days, here's my review! I apologize for the slight delay in posting - I was traveling. This product exceeded my expectations by far! Recently, with winter here, I've been applying a lot of moisturizer. However, when applied before makeup, it often pills and feels heavy. This serum, on the other hand, doesn't pill at all and feels much better. I tend to have severe deep dryness, and my skin usually feels tight if I don't apply skincare immediately after washing. But with this, I didn't even need to use a separate cream, and there was no tightness at all - it was amazing! I'm so satisfied that I'd repurchase it with my own money. While it might be a bit rich for those with oily skin, I think it's great for all skin types as a light-weight option. There's absolutely no irritation, and what I want to emphasize most is that the scent is totally my style! I've encountered many products that work well but have disappointing fragrances. This serum has a coconut oil-like scent that I just want to keep smelling. Some people might not care about fragrance, but I find it quite important. This product checks all the boxes, even the scent! I think I'll be using it frequently in summer too.
Cons
I'm not sure if it's incompatible with the products I apply before this serum, but it did feel sticky at times. It wasn't a major inconvenience though, so I think it's fine overall.

Pros
After using this product for two weeks, I found it to be quite decent. I appreciated that the texture wasn't watery like some others, which made it easier to apply without dripping. It really shines when applied to dry skin, effectively tackling dryness. It's not an 'oh wow, super hydrating' feeling, but more like 'hey, the dryness is gone?' My skin didn't feel heavy, which was great. I'd recommend it for normal, combination, and dry skin types. Those with very dry skin might prefer something more hydrating.
Cons
There's a slight stickiness after application, which can be a bit uncomfortable, but it's fine once you apply cream over it. I felt the quantity was a bit small for the price. When I tried mixing it with a dry concealer, it didn't blend well and seemed to separate, unlike other serums. If you're planning to mix it with a dry concealer, you might want to reconsider.
Tip
Surprisingly, when I applied this serum and then put on base makeup without using cream, it worked wonderfully! The makeup adhered perfectly. If you apply this before putting on makeup, you can achieve that flawless, well-prepped skin look.

Pros
• Texture It has a lightweight, water-based serum texture with a hydrating feel! It's fluid but has a slight viscosity to it! The serum is transparent in color! While most people might not find the scent bothersome, it was slightly off-putting for me at first. However, you get used to it over time! It's very similar to the scent of the toner and toner pads from the A'Solution brand at Daiso! It's a natural fragrance from the product ingredients, not artificial, so it was okay! • Application When first applied to the skin, it spreads easily with a moisturizing and light feel! It absorbs well - just a few gentle rubs and it's quickly absorbed into the skin! • Hydration & Finish As it's a soothing serum, it's very moisturizing and the hydration is quite good! However, rather than feeling fresh, there's a slight rich feeling and a bit of stickiness after use, leaving the skin looking slightly dewy! But being a hydrating soothing serum, it's more of a dewy richness rather than stickiness! • Skin Reaction I have dry, sensitive skin prone to occasional blemishes and redness when irritated, but I experienced no irritation after use, so I think it's safe for sensitive skin types! I didn't develop any blemishes after use! It seems great for adding hydration, especially for those with sensitive or dry skin like mine! • Efficacy & Results This product definitely seems to provide good hydration to the skin! I've used it for exactly 10 days since it was delivered, and while I didn't see much effect in the first few days, from day 7-8, I noticed my skin texture became noticeably smoother! It seems to prevent blemishes from appearing, and my makeup applies very well too! As it's not a product with immediate effects in just a day or two, I recommend consistent use! • Value for Money & Repurchase Intention I received this product for testing, so I didn't actually pay for it, but honestly, at 21,000 won for 30ml, I might consider other products... There are many products on the market that are cheaper than 20,000 won with larger volumes... However, since I saw results with this product, if I'm not in the mood to research other options extensively, I could definitely see myself repurchasing it!
Cons
Personally, I'm not a fan of sticky and rich textures, so I'm a bit disappointed that the finish leaves a slightly rich feel on the skin. If there isn't a significant price difference, I might consider purchasing other well-known products instead.

Pros
The transparent serum has a slight viscosity, giving it a gentle feel on the skin. As a product that has completed sensitivity and low-irritation tests, I felt comfortable using it between my usual toner and cream without any concerns. Apart from a slight stickiness, it was generally a well-rounded serum.
Cons
While I prefer products with a bit of viscosity over watery ones, I found the lingering stickiness a bit disappointing, possibly because my current toner is already quite viscous. Also, even though it's made with recyclable materials, I believe small containers aren't actually recyclable, and 30ml seems like a very small amount.
Tip
Instead of using an emulsion, I apply a generous amount of serum after toner and finish with a cream.

Pros
I used this for 7 days after my evening cleanse. The rich texture spread smoothly on my face and effectively combated dryness. I expected it to be slippery because it's soothing, but this soothing formula was different from others!
Cons
I have partial redness and sensitive skin, but the calming effect was minimal - perhaps because I used it for too short a period. Also, if you don't follow the absorption method shown on the product page, it can feel sticky and sit on top of the skin.
Tip
Applying a generous layer of serum followed by a calming, cooling modeling mask results in deep hydration and excellent soothing effects. It's truly fantastic!

Pros
First off, there's absolutely no irritation. No eye stinging or tingling, and the scent is quite subtle, which should appeal to those who dislike artificial fragrances. The consistency is a slightly thin gel texture that feels firming when applied. After a while, it leaves a slightly powdery finish. Given its good ingredients, it seems worth using consistently to see the results.
Cons
For me, this product has more drawbacks than benefits. Due to its thin gel consistency, it doesn't spread easily, making it difficult to moisturize the entire face with just one pump. For the same reason, you need to use about two pumps, which makes the volume feel insufficient. After application, it feels sticky for a while. It takes about 5-10 minutes for the stickiness to subside and for a slightly powdery feeling to set in, but areas where it's applied thinly can feel a bit tight. This could be due to the winter season. The lid seems like it might become loose or break with use, so that's an area that needs improvement. Absorption is not particularly fast by my standards, so it's best to apply a mist or toner before using this. If applied without a toner base, it can feel tight on the skin.
Tip
Because of its gel texture, it doesn't spread quickly, so I apply one pump over the entire face and then use a small additional pump on areas that are particularly dry.

Pros
Skin type: Dehydrated sensitive skin Lately, perhaps due to winter, my skin seems to be leaning more towards the dry side. So while I can't avoid makeup in the morning, I'm diligently layering and caring for my skin at night. As this was a brand and product I hadn't heard of before, I carefully read the detailed description before using it. Since madecassoside is an ingredient that suits my skin well, I didn't experience any blemishes while using it. As you can tell from its transparent soothing formula, it absorbs well into the skin.
Cons
I use Well** hyaluronic acid ampoule and thought this would have a similar texture, but it's actually a bit thicker. Because of that, when layering multiple times, it feels stickier than my usual product. While I didn't have any particular skin issues, I can't say my skin dramatically improved either. Considering the price-to-volume ratio, it seems like I can't use it liberally for multiple layers.

Pros
This lightweight water serum texture quickly absorbs, providing just the right amount of hydration that lasts. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but at least it doesn't cause blemishes. After applying it a few times in a row, I feel it provides sufficient moisture, so when I'm feeling lazy, I just layer this on a couple of times.
Cons
One disappointing aspect was that after layering it on several times, the final finish becomes sticky. When lying on my side, it would get tacky, causing my pillowcase to stick to my skin and then peel off, which was quite frustrating. However, I must admit this happens with most of my other serums when I apply multiple layers, so it's not necessarily a flaw unique to this product. All in all, to maintain the best user experience, it's probably best to limit application to once or twice.
