While this one feels like it's mostly oil-based for my skin, it's not extremely heavy or oily like applying pure oil. Looking at the texture, you might be fooled into thinking it's a hydrating gel with lots of moisture. But that's not its main claim, so that's okay. Texture: It's totally a gel! Not quite jelly-like, but it doesn't run and stays put, which is great. The color and texture make me want to eat it! Container and design: Just looking at the exterior, it could pass for a hair product! It's more my style, though. The pump for the essence is the best I've used - smooth, dispenses well, seems like they invested in quality. Packaging: The paper packaging holding the skincare product might be the thickest single-layer I've seen? It feels sturdy and somehow leaves an impression. At a glance, the box really looks like a hair product, with that coil design and the name 'Fit Root'!
ConsAfter applying this product, I always end up with a few small blemishes. They're tiny but develop yellow pus. It doesn't seem to do much for my skin either. A constant drawback is that you can't see how much product is left inside the container.
TipThe product absorbs slower than expected. It's a bit tricky to use as a final moisturizing layer after applying other skincare products - it feels insufficient.

The non-runny consistency made it easy to apply, and I loved how quickly it absorbs! 🤍 Hydration ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I found it moderately moisturizing and the hydration wasn't bad! It's okay for deep dryness, but it doesn't give that intense skin-quenching feeling 🤍 Finish ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I thought the jelly texture might be sticky with a poor finish, but it wasn't sticky at all and didn't cause my makeup to pill, which was great 🤍 Fragrance-free ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's not just close to being fragrance-free, it's completely unscented, making it really comfortable to apply without any worries! 🤍 Packaging ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love the feeling when you press it! It dispenses just the right amount with one press and cuts off cleanly
Cons🖤 Blemishes My face felt slightly itchy right after application. I applied acne prevention ointment just in case, which might be why I didn't break out. Thinking it could be due to something else, I consistently applied it morning and evening daily, but it definitely kept itching. After stopping the test and using only my regular skincare products, the itching went away... So I think it was because of this product
Tip💛 Apart from the skin itching, I liked everything else about it, and there were no allergy-causing ingredients in the formula... I recommend everyone test it on their skin before purchasing!

The packaging is super cute, and the best part is the pump dispenser. Some pumps can be messy or hard to use, but this one is great - it's easy to control and dispense just the right amount without overdoing it. That's its biggest advantage! The texture is truly jelly-like. When you first squeeze it out and it touches your skin, it feels moisturizing without being too thick or runny, making it easy to apply. Surprisingly, it glides on the skin smoothly and absorbs quickly! It feels softer on the skin than it does in your hand. It's not too drying and provides just the right amount of hydration, making it suitable for use year-round without any burden. There's no significant irritation, so I'd recommend it as a solid daily item. However, it might feel a bit dry in the depths of winter! I've been using it every day, and I like that it doesn't absorb immediately after application. I generally prefer slightly runny textures. Oh, and it's fragrance-free!
ConsMy skin is combination with some deep dryness, and on the second day of using this, I got a small blemish. If you have super sensitive skin, it might not be a bad idea to start with a small amount and give your skin time to adjust.

When you roll the serum between your hands, it gives a cooling effect as it absorbs into the skin. The product doesn't run like water, but it's not a formula that absorbs quickly either. The pink serum, infused with pure vitamin, imparts a subtle glow to the skin, allowing for a vibrant and healthy complexion.
ConsThis product was much more disappointing than I expected. Before I could even verify the various effects mentioned in the product description, blemishes appeared on my face in less than a week of use. Afterwards, the itchy sensation intensified, so I couldn't continue using it. I wanted to write a review comparing the product description with real-life results after personal use, but since the product didn't suit my skin, I couldn't use it for more than a week, leaving me with regrets about this product.

After being selected for The Hwahae Testers, I used the Fitroot Jeom Pil Serum daily instead of my usual serum and wrote this review after careful use. <Usage period: 8 days from 4/8 to 4/16> Application: It applies smoothly without irritation. Compared to the watery serum I used before, this feels more like a bouncy gel. The color is pink, which might make you expect a sweet scent, but it's actually almost fragrance-free. It's my first time using a skincare product with this color, so I was hesitant at first, thinking it might be sticky (just my personal impression). Absorption: It absorbs evenly but slowly. The bouncy texture remains even after a while, and there's a bit of richness that might feel heavy for those with oily skin. Packaging: The container is user-friendly with a pump dispenser instead of a dropper, making it easy to use. Effects: It claims to have brightening and firming effects. I felt like it worked on my cheeks - they seemed more plump than before.
ConsMy previous serum had a transparent bottle which I liked, but this product has an opaque case, making it really hard to gauge how much is left. On my oily forehead area... I got one blemish and several small bumps. I wanted to keep using it, but being naturally sensitive-skinned, I got worried and gave it to my mom. I guess it just doesn't suit me, which can happen due to individual differences.

ConsCons: - Recently, my skin was in good condition, so I applied it all over without patch testing. However, hard blemishes immediately appeared on my cheeks. If you have super sensitive skin like mine, please make sure to do a patch test before use - For those with oily skin like me, applying one layer should be sufficient rather than two or three
TipTips: - Make sure to patch test - Try applying mainly in the T-zone for a more comfortable experience

When applied to dry skin, it provides an instant cooling effect along with immediate hydration.
ConsAfter use, it feels extremely sticky and causes an unbearable, unpleasant itching. I tried using it a bit longer, but I had to stop when I developed small bumps all over my face. Right after application, the hydration felt abundant, which was nice, but this feeling quickly disappeared. It seemed to draw out even the deep moisture from my skin, leaving it feeling even drier. I only used it for 3 days, so I'm not sure about its effects on elasticity. I might try using it on my neck instead.
