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

However, I repurchased this product thinking of the one I bought a few years ago, and it doesn't seem to have the same level of hydration as before.
ConsThe packaging was so poorly done that the cosmetic container arrived all dented... When I contacted Hwahae, they told me to reach out to Scinic directly, which was a hassle... But after filing a complaint, I promptly received a normal product. The shipping packaging seems to need some improvement. The product container also tends to spill quite a bit each time I use it, so I've transferred it to a spray bottle for convenience.
TipSince the cosmetic container is large and tends to spill when used, it's more convenient to transfer it to a spray bottle or another smaller container!

It has a thin, watery texture, so I patted it in gently for absorption. It absorbs well and provides adequate hydration.
ConsI didn't expect significant results, so it's hard to notice a difference before and after application. However, since it doesn't cause irritation, it was fine to use consistently.
TipI applied multiple layers. Since it absorbs quickly, layering it made a noticeable improvement.

The other ingredients are gentle and lightweight, so I apply it after my toner and then again. It's great for my combination dehydrated skin - it provides good hydration without irritation. Highly recommended!
ConsThe bottle is a bit heavy, which can be inconvenient when traveling. However, the overall feel of the bottle itself is quite nice!

It's a decent all-around toner substitute. The ingredients are gentle and mild, so I keep using it.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about it, but it's just... average? To be honest, since I'm using it as a toner substitute, I can't really pinpoint anything exceptional about it.

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.

However, this product is a game-changer! Once a week, I generously soak a cotton pad with it, leave it on for about 10 minutes, and voila - it gently exfoliates dead skin cells without any irritation!
ConsThere's nothing bad to say! The packaging is lovely, the price is great, and it doesn't feel sticky at all.

TipAfter showering, apply this product instead of toner, then follow with your moisturizer

It has great ingredients and a friendly price. I'm pleased that it didn't cause any blemishes or irritation.
ConsI can't really think of any downsides. The glass bottle is a bit heavy, but I believe they use glass due to the ingredients.

Non-irritating feel. Doesn't cause blemishes even on acne-prone skin. I've been using this toner for about 5 years and still haven't felt the need to switch to something else. It even helps with removing dead skin cells to some extent.
ConsThere's nothing bad to say, but they're asking for 20 characters... The hydration might be a bit lacking, but that's unavoidable given its watery consistency...
