It seems perfect for a light summer application. I love how refreshing it feels! For winter use, it might be too lightweight. You'd probably need to layer it with additional essences or serums. This product appears to be ideal for the warmer months when you want something that absorbs well without feeling heavy on the skin. Its light texture makes it great for hot, humid days. However, during the colder seasons, your skin might need more hydration. To combat deep dryness in winter, consider pairing it with richer products to maintain your skin's oil and moisture balance. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinJun 7, 2025
The transparent container makes it convenient to check how much product is left, which is great. It's lightweight and absorbs quickly, so I'll likely keep using it. I haven't found any notable drawbacks yet, but I'll add an update after using it consistently for about a month. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJun 4, 2025
This essence is an upgraded version of the original Galac Essence. It contains niacinamide, a powerful brightening ingredient that helps achieve a clear and radiant complexion. With 3 times more potent 3rd generation active galactomyces, it works to improve blemishes, dark spots, and skin texture from the surface to deep within. I thought the original essence was already light and refreshing, but this upgraded version takes it to another level with an incredibly lightweight formula. It has an ultra-watery consistency that glides on effortlessly. You'll want to apply it quickly with gentle circular motions to prevent it from running. As expected from such a lightweight texture, it absorbs instantly upon application. Even with multiple layers, it maintains that airy, barely-there feeling. I typically layer the Niacin 3.0 Essence at least twice, yet it still feels as light and fresh as if I'd only applied it once! After using it consistently for several days, I can definitely notice my complexion evening out. With summer approaching, I was looking for a way to get a head start on brightening my skin tone. Thankfully, this refreshing essence seems perfect for maintaining my skincare routine even in hot weather. I can't say I've noticed dramatically visible results with continued use. - Hwahae UserDry SkinMay 29, 2025
I've been using this product morning and evening for about two weeks now. What I'm most satisfied with is how well it absorbs. Being a water-based formula, it absorbs into the skin much faster than essence products with a runny consistency. It feels great when it quickly sinks into the face. Despite my extremely dry skin, this water-based essence didn't cause much deep dryness. I've used products that make my cheeks feel tight, but this essence, despite its light texture, keeps my skin hydrated and less prone to tightness. There aren't any downsides I've noticed yet. I haven't experienced any blemishes, and I haven't had any issues while using it. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinMay 23, 2025
I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of The Hwahae Testers, so here's my honest review! First off, my skin type is combination and prone to blemishes if a product doesn't agree with me. Let's start with the product design - it's really sleek, and since the formula is lightweight, the packaging is nice and portable too. Texture: It's almost water-like with absolutely no stickiness! Results: After using it for a week, I have to say the brightening effect was subtle... I think it might take about a month of use to really see a difference. The application experience was great - the lightweight formula felt just like a water serum. Hmm... the price might be a bit steep for some. Also, it's not the most hydrating product out there. Pro tip: Use this alongside a vitamin C product for amazing synergy! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 23, 2025
Among Manyo Factory products, this line is famous and one I've used before. Comparing it to the pre-renewal version, while the absorption is lighter, it's much more satisfying functionally and has great hydration! Brightening - My complexion tends to have redness and unevenness, which stresses me out. After using this, rather than just lightening my skin tone, it made my skin look clearer, which I'm extremely satisfied with. Pores - To be honest, it's difficult to see effects on pores in a short time with skincare products, so I'll need to use the whole bottle to compare! Hydration - The lightweight texture makes it perfect for summer use. You might worry about hydration, but even though my skin tends to develop small bumps with even slight lack of moisture, I haven't had any blemishes during the two weeks of use. My skin remains clear so far! Price - The price is reasonable for the amount you get! Considering that recent product launches are often in the upper 20,000 won range for 30ml, this Manyo Factory product offers double the amount for a similar price, which is quite budget-friendly! There's nothing I'm dissatisfied with. There's nothing I'm dissatisfied with. There's nothing I'm dissatisfied with. When applied as a base after morning cleansing and before makeup, its light texture and skin-clearing combo prevent makeup from pilling and make your skin look beautiful! - Hwahae UserOily SkinSensitive SkinMay 23, 2025
Recommended skin types: Very oily, oily, combination The texture flows like water! It's so light and non-burdensome, you might mistake it for a toner. This essence is perfect for those who want to use a functional product even in summer without feeling heavy on the skin. The product description mentions improvements for blemishes, pores, and skin texture. While pore improvement is difficult to see quickly and isn't an easy area to address, I can confidently say that I noticed improvements in skin blemishes and texture within just 3 days! The bumpy texture on my skin disappeared, leaving it smoother. This essence is great for summer use. Well... there wasn't anything particularly bad, but since it has a water-like consistency, applying too much could potentially feel heavy later on. Using the right amount shouldn't be a problem. This lightweight essence absorbs well into the skin, making it an excellent choice for layering in your skincare routine. Its watery texture allows for quick absorption, which is ideal for those with oily or combination skin who want hydration without added richness. The fast-acting formula works hard to improve your complexion, targeting blemishes and uneven skin texture. For best results, incorporate this into your daily skincare regimen, especially during the warmer months when your skin craves hydration without heaviness. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinMay 23, 2025
For those with combination dehydrated skin, this product offers a lightweight feel with excellent brightening effects! As the weather gets warmer and my face tends to heat up, I found that thanks to the niacinamide, it even helps control oil production. What a win! There are truly no downsides. Not only is it non-irritating, but it also provides hydration. This made me realize why Manyo Factory is so popular. For those with combination dehydrated skin, try this: Soak your face with a hydrating toner first, then layer this product on top. It's absolutely fantastic! - Hwahae UserNormal SkinMay 23, 2025
I've tried the previous version too, and the overall feel seems pretty similar. It has a very watery, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly into the skin. But don't worry, it doesn't leave your skin feeling dry at all. Rather than a whitening effect, it gives more of a brightened complexion look. While the glass bottle does give it a luxurious feel, I can't help but think it's probably driving up the price. Compared to Manyo Factory's earlier products, this one feels like it's in a higher price range. The new formula maintains the quick-absorbing, hydrating qualities of its predecessor. It's ideal for those looking to even out their skin tone and achieve that coveted Inner Glow without the heaviness often associated with brightening products. However, the premium packaging might be reflected in the higher price point, which could be a consideration for budget-conscious skincare enthusiasts. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAcne SkinMay 23, 2025
The unique packaging made opening it an exciting experience. I was captivated by the beautiful brand story inside - it really caught my eye! The formula has a water-like consistency, flowing smoothly without any stickiness. It might take some getting used to at first, but I've developed a technique. I apply it in small amounts, layering it multiple times! I love how lightweight the formula is. Even when layering it multiple times, it never feels heavy on the skin. It absorbs well into the skin, leaving a refreshing feeling. I'm quite satisfied with this aspect. Rather than saying it improves blemishes, I'd say it makes your skin look clearer! It gives a brighter appearance to the complexion. I have combination dehydrated skin, so I pay a lot of attention to hydration. My skin leans more towards the dry side. Because of this, I don't think this product alone can provide dramatic moisturizing effects. I find it works best as the first step in my routine, followed by additional hydrating products for a synergistic effect. Overall, I'd say it's a pleasant, lightweight product that's easy to use. The scent is also very neutral - neither love it nor hate it! I've been using it for light skincare before applying makeup. I also noticed it helps even out my skin tone! Those with super sensitive skin should carefully check the ingredients as they might not suit everyone. As for me, I'm very satisfied with this product!
