ConsSlightly lacking in long-lasting moisture: May feel dry when used alone in winter or on dry skin types Potential for blemishes: Some users report that fermented ingredients can trigger breakouts Mixed opinions on texture: Very watery consistency may make some users feel less of an effect Fragile bottle: Glass container could break and may be inconvenient for travel

It's been 2 weeks since I picked it up again after finishing my other products. I even use it with cotton pads by pouring it into an empty bottle (inspired by Director Pi's video). It's amazing for dead skin cell removal, evening out skin tone, and improving skin texture. It's still my holy grail product! The scent is barely noticeable, it's not sticky, and it's not drying either - just perfect! The large volume and frequent sales make it even better. I really hope they don't change the formula during any 'renewals'. (I used to love Mi*- The First***, but after they kept changing the formula, it became sticky and didn't suit me anymore.) I plan to keep using COSRX in the future!
ConsThere's nothing I dislike about it. I just hope they don't change the ingredients. And please, please don't discontinue it!

ConsThe glass bottle makes it heavy to use. I wish the container was lighter. Also, due to the fermented extracts, I wouldn't recommend it for those with sensitive skin
TipIt's great to use as a mist by transferring some to a spray bottle, or you can even use it as a mask

But since I'd bought it, I kept applying it after my 3-step toner routine to use it up quickly. After about 3 weeks, my skin texture and complexion improved dramatically. Now it's become one of my absolute favorite products that I can't live without!
ConsIt takes a bit of time for your skin to adjust to it. Of course, this might vary from person to person.
TipI apply it generously all over my face and body without holding back.

I've heard that the fermented ingredients help form proteins on the skin. The formula is gentle, and the price is affordable, so you can use it without worry. Though it's called an essence, you can think of it as a toner with extra hydration. I keep this product in my bathroom and use it right after washing my face. I've gone through more than 4 bottles, and people have told me my complexion has brightened, so I'm satisfied with the results.
ConsI've heard that fermented ingredients might not suit everyone's skin. They say the neck skin is most similar to facial skin, so it might be best to test it there first before using it on your face.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAfter just a few days of use, my complexion brightened and my skin texture became incredibly soft. I used an exfoliating toner, did some clay masks, and even tried sheet masks.
ConsThe issue arose when, after about 3-4 days of use, I noticed signs of potential blemishes. I wasn't sure at first, but I continued using it since my skin tone and texture had improved. However, after about a week, I definitely developed blemishes on my chin and cheeks. It's disappointing... This skin product just doesn't seem to work for me. On the bright side, my husband has super resilient skin, so I passed it on to him.

My skin feels clearer and more radiant.
ConsEven though I have sensitive skin, I've been able to use this without any blemishes. There's nothing I dislike about it.

In the morning, I applied about two layers as an essence after using an exfoliating toner. In the evening, I used it mixed with other products after the exfoliating toner. There was no irritation and no blemishes. I used it for almost 6 months, and while the effects weren't dramatic, I feel it has contributed to a healthier skin barrier.
ConsI'm writing this review after using up two bottles. I used it daily for over 6 months. While the effects were good for the first week, I didn't notice much of a difference after that.

It definitely improves skin texture and makes your complexion brighter.
ConsEverything about it is great, really great, but when I use this, I feel like it's making facial hair grow? That's the sensation I got. So I'm deducting one point for that.

Great for sloughing off dead skin cells and balancing your skin tone. The generous amount means you can use it liberally without worrying about running out anytime soon.
ConsWhile it may not produce miraculous results, consistent use definitely makes a difference. Your skin feels more organized and refined compared to when you don't use it.
TipTry applying it both morning and night, then decide if you prefer using it only in the morning, only at night, or keeping up with both. Adjust your routine based on how your skin responds.
