For skin flakiness, blemishes, and troubles, try using this as a skin pack! It's truly amazing!

There is a slight warming sensation, but it's not too intense. Since my skin is quite sensitive, I sometimes experience this even with face masks.
It may be due to the alcohol content from the fermentation process, but it doesn't lead to any skin troubles for me.
Even with my atopic dermatitis, I often use this as an emergency skin treatment.

True to its name 'Skin Power', it's great for when your skin is fatigued or damaged.
While there is a slight warming sensation, it's not a concern as I can see my skin recovering faster.
It's much more moisturizing than other regular watery toners.
Compared to the typical water-like toners, this is significantly more hydrating and affordable.
When dealing with atopic dermatitis and flaky skin, using this as a skin pack is like magic - it's unbelievable how it calms everything down.

스킨 파워 오리지널 퍼스트 에센스

The Cynic product, which is a more affordable option, doesn't have the concerning ingredient that the Missha one has...So I'll just buy the Cynic product during sales. Right now, I'm using the Missha one and the Cynic product together.

I've tried SK-II, Missha, Cynic, Secret Key, and Missha First Essence. Out of those, I've repurchased the Missha one the most. The price is similar to Missha and the feel is also similar. The ingredients are also good...The best advantage is that when they have sales, I can buy it at half the price with 1+1 or 50% off. With Missha, the maximum discount is only 30% even during sales...So I buy 2 bottles every time they have a sale and use them. The SK-II, Missha, and Missha products are similar in color, fragrance, and usage feel, so Missha is the best in terms of price-to-performance ratio. It's a bit more concentrated than Cynic, and it's almost fragrance-free.

I bought it cheaply on Coupang, and the rocket delivery was a bonus.

Since my skin is dry, it doesn't seem to suit me. When I apply it, my skin feels too irritated and constricted, and in the end, I had to stop using it altogether.

I purchased it because the price was reasonable...
And the ingredients are also quite good.

There's a bit of an issue where my face doesn't feel that moisturized. Sometimes I have to apply it twice. But I'm still using the Mizoon products well since the ingredients in the toner are all good.

Also, I have to twist the cap open every time I use it, and there's only one hole, so I have to flip it over to get it out. It's a bit of a hassle every morning... A pump would be better.

Spreadability: It's not completely watery, but has a very light viscosity. When applied to the face, it seeps in smoothly and absorbs well. I'm really satisfied with it.
Moisturizing power: The ingredients are good, but as someone with dry skin, I do feel like it's a bit lacking. I tried the Boh one at Olive Young, and this one seems a bit weaker than that.
Price: I bought the Innisfree fermented firming essence or something like that, and since the volume is large and the ingredients are good, I returned it and bought two of these. Very satisfied!

It's cheaper to buy it on sale or from other shopping sites like Jisik Shopping rather than Mizon.

It didn't quite suit my skin ㅠ There was also a slight stinging sensation..

It is moisturizing and can be applied well with the hands, and it is good to use instead of toner.

Although my skin is well-suited for fermented products and I have been using a fermented essence for over 3 years, this cosmetic was the first one that felt so irritating.
There are quite a few reviews mentioning a feeling of heat on the skin after use. At first, I thought this was how the product was designed to make the skin feel, so I inquired with Mizon, but they said it's not the case and that it varies depending on skin type.

This is a typical first essence without any stickiness.
I used it as a wiping toner, soaking it in cotton and applying it. The only advantage is that it can be purchased at a discounted price through the official homepage.

I'll have to use it more to really know
There don't seem to be any downsides yet ㅋ
The galactomyces ferment filtrate may not agree with everyone, and some people might even experience breakouts...

I was able to purchase it at a great discounted price.
Although the Mizoon brand was unfamiliar to me, I just went ahead and bought it.
It was delivered today and I tried it for the first time. I had to go out, so I applied it and immediately did my makeup.
Everyone kept telling me that my makeup looked great haha. When I looked in the mirror, my skin was glowing and looking so fair, even I thought it looked pretty.
