I have sensitive skin with some redness and blemishes. I also experience a bit of deep dryness. The texture is somewhat watery, so it absorbs well. It's fragrance-free, which didn't cause any issues for me when using it! I used the product for about two days, but I started getting some blemishes and felt a tingling sensation, so I stopped. After letting my skin recover for about three days, I tried it again, but the same thing happened. Unfortunately, I couldn't continue using it regularly, so I didn't see any significant results. The hydration is a bit weak, so those with dry skin should definitely follow up with a cream! I applied a hydrating ampoule after letting this absorb, which helped reduce the dryness a bit. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinMay 22, 2025
Overall impression after use: This essence has a lightweight formula with a hydrating texture, perfect for use any time of day. While it may not deliver dramatic brightening effects, it does an excellent job of refining overall skin texture. Application (★★★★☆): It's a genuinely clear, water-like formula with zero stickiness, making it ideal for those with oily skin! If you have dry skin, you might feel a slight dryness immediately after application due to its almost water-like consistency. This makes it perfect for light summer use. Hydration (★★★★☆): While it's not devoid of hydration, there's hardly any noticeable difference in texture compared to the Witch Factory toner. The toner leaves a slight slip to prevent moisture from evaporating, whereas with this essence, you can definitely feel the hydration dissipating. Blemishes (★★★☆☆): After consistent use morning and night for two weeks, I experienced some blemishes around my nose and forehead during the first week. A few acne-like spots appeared, but once my skin adapted, the breakouts stopped. I'm not sure which ingredient caused this, but I continued using it as my skin adjusted. Despite the temporary blemishes, I didn't experience any itching or tingling sensations during use. Brightening and skin improvement (★★★★☆): I'm not sure if there are dramatic brightening effects, as the results aren't immediate. My freckles and dark spots are still visible, but my skin texture has definitely improved. Of course, I apply a moisturizer and makeup after the essence, but the texture refinement is so good that there's hardly any flaking when I apply my base! Scent (★★★★☆): I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, but this seems almost unscented. I didn't notice any particular scent while using it, nor did it bother me, so it's safe to say it's practically fragrance-free. The ingredient list doesn't include any added fragrances, which is a plus! While it wasn't a constant issue, I did experience some temporary blemishes during the adjustment period after switching to this essence. Those who are sensitive to breakouts might need to be a bit cautious when using this product. The essence has a very watery consistency, which can make it tricky to control the amount dispensed from the dropper. The dropper seems designed for direct facial application, but I prefer to dispense it onto my palm before applying. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinSensitive SkinMay 21, 2025
Oily skin review The lightweight texture makes it easy to spread and apply quickly. It absorbs pretty fast too! I didn't notice any particular scent. It left my skin feeling smooth and silky. For me, using just the toner and serum was enough to prevent dryness. Since I only used it for a short time, I didn't really notice any brightening effects. For the first few days, my skin texture improved, but then I started noticing small bumps appearing... I immediately stopped using it, and after a few days, they disappeared. I guess there must have been some ingredient that didn't agree with my super sensitive skin. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinMay 21, 2025
I've been using this product morning and night for a week. My skin type tends to be on the dry side. I really liked that the texture wasn't sticky, and I feel like if I use it consistently for a longer period, the results will be even more noticeable. About three days after I started using it, I noticed a few blemishes appearing. While it might not be the best match for my skin type, I did feel that aside from the blemishes, my pores seemed smaller and my skin texture improved. It's important to note that everyone's skin reacts differently to products. If you have super sensitive skin or are prone to blemishes, it might be a good idea to do a patch test first. Remember, finding the right skincare routine often involves some trial and error to discover what works best for your unique complexion. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 18, 2025
The formula was watery with a slight moisturizing effect, making it easy to apply lightly. during use, unknown grains appeared, so i had to discontinue using it ㅠ
