It felt like my complexion became more translucent. There was also a slight improvement in my skin texture.
ConsI bought this for deep dryness, but it had absolutely no effect. After using it for a week, I suddenly woke up one night with a burning sensation and intense itching on my cheekbones. When I looked in the mirror, my skin was extremely red with tiny bumps all over. The next day, I went to the dermatologist who said it was contact dermatitis. After stopping use for a few days, my skin returned to normal.

ConsIt feels moisturizing at first, but once it's fully absorbed, my skin feels dry and itchy. I kept using it thinking it might get better, but it only made my blemishes worse.
TipIt might be a good idea to check if fermented ingredients suit your skin before purchasing!

If I had to find something, maybe that it comes in a glass container?
ConsWhoa, within 3 minutes of applying this, my face started itching like bugs were crawling all over it. Then I immediately broke out in a rash. I had to wash it off and use a clay mask to calm my skin down. Even now, my face is still a bit red. This is the first time I've had such a quick and severe reaction to a cosmetic product.

ConsMy face gets itchy when I use this alone. Seems like the ingredients don't agree with me. I had high hopes when I bought this product, but it's disappointing.
TipIt's great that you can buy it cheaper than the regular price on the Amore Pacific mall, and they offer free shipping too.

ConsI'm not sure if it's because I have super sensitive skin, but I occasionally experience some itching after application

Usually, essences have a runny texture, but this product has a water-like consistency, making it perfect for daily use without feeling heavy. After using this, my deep dryness disappeared. I didn't layer it, but instead applied it by patting it into my skin with a cotton pad soaked in the product! As a functional skincare item with brightening properties, I was very satisfied. After absorption, my complexion seemed more even and radiant. It seems to focus on brightening and improving skin texture. Since functional products require consistent use over time to show results, I'm satisfied with its performance so far. It's the best essence I've tried. Initially, I saw many Hwahae reviews mentioning fermented ingredients, so I called the store to check. The staff confirmed there are no fermented ingredients, making it suitable for those who don't react well to fermented products. Overall, the product is very gentle on the skin.
ConsI used it happily for a week, initially unaware it was causing issues. I had switched my entire routine to Primera, so it was hard to pinpoint. On the first night, after applying toner, emulsion, essence, serum, and moisturizer, I felt a tingling sensation on my face as I lay in bed, like insects crawling. This sensation intensified over time. However, I didn't worry as there were no visible blemishes. About a week later, I woke up with reddish acne-like blemishes, tiny whiteheads, and heat on my cheeks. The symptoms were identical to when I previously had contact dermatitis and folliculitis. I stopped using everything except my dermatologist-prescribed medication, and it subsided in two days. Then I remembered experiencing itchiness with the Seed and Sprout Energy Mask Milk Thistle I received as a gratis. When I inquired at the store, they mentioned some people don't react well to functional skincare. Checking Hwahae, I realized the mask also had brightening properties. Initially, I thought it was an ingredient issue, but it turns out functional skincare products in general don't suit my skin.
TipIMPORTANT!!! For those who might be sensitive to functional skincare products like me, it's crucial to patch test before purchasing. This can help avoid potential skin reactions.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsIt's incredibly gentle! I have sensitive skin that reacts quickly to incompatible products, but this one was fine. While there weren't dramatic changes at first, with consistent use, I noticed a reduction in deep dryness and, most importantly, my complexion seemed to become more even and slightly brighter overall. Before, my face looked dull, but lately, even my bare face looks presentable! Some people say they prefer mild products with subtle effects, and as someone with sensitive skin, I've tried products with minimal ingredient combinations like Mamonde Sensitive line and Scinic Simple Calming. However, those had no real effect and felt insufficient no matter how much I applied. This product, on the other hand, definitely provides hydration and seems to work well for me. I plan to keep using it consistently.
ConsThe price... it's the price that's the issue. It's too expensive! Since I like to apply multiple layers, I use quite a bit, and the cost adds up quickly. Also, because this product worked so well for me, I thought I might have good luck with sprouted ingredients (different from fermented ones) and bought Primera Sprout Serum. However, after using it once, my face became itchy and broke out. Just a heads up that not all sprouted ingredients are the same, even if they work well in this product.
TipUsing it with the provided cotton pads wastes too much product. I use this more like a toner than an essence, and I find that patting it directly onto the skin with my hands works best. Even without using cotton pads, the product alone was sufficient for evening out my skin texture.

Also, it's free from phenoxyethanol.
ConsI love Primera as a brand so much, but this product just doesn't agree with my skin. It's my first time trying something with fermentation or yeast, and after using it for two days, I developed something like contact dermatitis on both cheekbones and some small bumps on my cheeks. It's still itchy now. Those with super sensitive skin should be cautious!

I'm so glad it comes in a large size, so I can apply it generously. I honestly don't understand why everyone isn't using this!
ConsWhen I first used it, I experienced a slight tingling sensation.
TipHmm, a pro tip... It seems to work really well with cotton pads. I soak three cotton pads thoroughly with the essence, cleanse my face, and then use it as an essence mask while drying my hair. This keeps the moisture locked in and leaves my skin feeling super soft. To be honest, I started using the essence as a mask because buying a separate toner for masking seemed expensive. Also, even though there's a daily usage guideline marked on the bottle, I can't seem to use up that much in a day even when I'm generous with it. The large size is supposed to last 50 days, but I think it might stretch to about 80 days for me. It's also great to warm it up in your hands before applying. I don't know if it's just me, but when I press my fingers into my skin while absorbing it, I feel like little water droplets are bursting and being absorbed... It's like the hydration is exploding into my skin! Well, anyway, that's my experience!

It gave me a sense that my deep dryness was disappearing.
ConsThe disappointing aspect was that I didn't see dramatic results considering the price. I know it's a fermented product, but it might not suit my skin as I felt itching within 1-2 minutes of application. The next day, I noticed small blemishes appearing on my face. I bought this after carefully reading Hwahae reviews and spending a good amount of money, but I'm very disappointed as my experience differs from the reviews. Even though I tried to filter and research the reviews thoroughly before purchasing, I'm still let down.
TipThere are many drugstore or affordable options that offer better benefits than this one, so I hope others won't be swayed by the brand name and reviews when making a purchase.
