Pros
It's great to use a first essence instead of a skin. It helps refine the skin texture and makes the skin feel soft.
Cons
I tried this product as a sample when purchasing from another brand's direct sales. The watery, runny texture requires careful application, and the moisture level seems a bit lacking. It might be due to the dryness these days, but it should be fine until fall.

Pros
While there is a sense that the effects diminish the more you use it, the first 2 weeks were a revelation. It seems to work better when used before bedtime rather than during the day. It helps with dryness, has a nice application, and leaves the skin feeling moisturized and soft the next day. Most importantly, it has really helped improve my skin texture. I can feel my skin getting better day by day, and I've definitely noticed a regenerative effect as well. Despite being a thin formula, it feels very moisturizing and nourishing.
Cons
Those who don't do well with fermented cosmetics should avoid this. Overusing can cause itchiness, and I ended up with a bunch of small bumps on my forehead, T-zone, and cheeks. When applying with your hands, it's too thin and runny, so you have to quickly pat it in before it drips down to your neck. After absorption, it feels sticky and stuffy. Using it in the morning during the summer and then feeling sticky and uncomfortable in the afternoon was really unpleasant.

Pros
I have sensitive skin that is prone to irritation. About 5 years ago, I started developing skin inflammation and was suffering, but then a friend recommended this product and I've probably used it for over 20 bottles now. It helps control the tightness and makes my skin texture smooth. I know fermented products can be divisive, but I've been using this very well.
Cons
The runny formula sometimes causes it to drip from my hands.

Pros
I've been using this for 7-8 years now. It's so great because it absorbs well and doesn't feel sticky at all~! After using this, I can't seem to use any other essences anymore ㅎ
Cons
Since it's so watery, adjusting the amount can be a bit tricky ㅎ

Pros
The more I used it on my dry skin, the more I felt my skin getting better. It's a life-changing item!!
Cons
It has a runny toner-like texture, so I end up using too much. ㅠㅠㅠ

Pros
First, after applying it for a week, I felt that my skin became more supple and had a radiant glow...Since then, I've been using it regularly! It's a bit expensive, but it's good. In fact, like all cosmetics, you may lose the sense of excitement over time, but since there's nothing bad about it, I'm still using it. I'm on my second bottle.
Cons
The formula is too watery and runny, so it gets used up too quickly...

Pros
I've been using it for about 10 years since high school. Along the way, I've tried other essences (SK-II, Bobbi Brown, etc.) and switched between them, but nothing compares to this one, so I always come back to it. It's not that it's incredibly amazing, but my skin just stays supple and smooth when I use it.
Cons
The only downside is that it's quite watery, so I tend to go through it quickly.

Pros
The product is gentle and has good absorption. I usually use it as the first serum after cleansing, and it makes my skin feel soft without any burden. After using it consistently for over a year and then stopping, I noticed a slight feeling of internal dryness. It would be a great deal if they released a larger size.
Cons
The packaging is a bit inconvenient. The formula is on the runny side, but it would be better if it fell off cleanly without flowing to the sides.
Tip
It's best to scoop out an appropriate amount of the product onto your palm, and gently press it into your skin to help it absorb.

Pros
I started using it because of my millet-like acne, and now it's a life-saver. I don't need to apply anything else, just this.
Cons
The formula is a bit runny, so it's difficult to apply. I have to accept that it drips down, but I've been using it for quite a long time. That's how good it is.
Tip
I'm using the product with a dropper. That makes it a bit easier to apply.

Pros
The skin feels moisturized from deep within. It absorbs without being sticky, with a just-right supple texture. I would consider repurchasing.
Cons
There are no major downsides. The thin consistency can be prone to spilling, so one should be careful when dispensing the product.
Tip
Be sure to gently pat the product in after applying.
