Purchase Motivation I bought the large size because the product was recommended by YouTubers I follow, such as Ria Yu, and other cosmetic reviewers. 2. Ingredients I used this product without any concerns about the ingredients, as it is from an Amore Pacific brand, which I trust more in terms of cosmetic ingredients. Thanks to the good ingredients, I did not experience any skin troubles while using it. 3. Essence Usage It has a very slight viscosity, like water, so I could use it comfortably every day without any stickiness.
Cons1. Absorption and Moisturizing Although it felt moisturizing right after application and for a few minutes, there was always a sense of it not being fully absorbed. I often had to pat it in with my hands, more so than with other essence products. I used it consistently for over 6 months, hoping to see the effects, but I couldn't really tell if there were any improvements. It just seemed to maintain my skin condition, without any noticeable brightening. Since it only contains a small amount of niacinamide, it did not provide much help in terms of skin brightening. 2. Price Given the above reasons, I didn't feel the need to pay more for this essence over the many affordable options available at drugstores.
TipWith the abundance of cosmetic products and aggressive marketing, it's not a good idea to purchase based solely on high sales numbers or reviews from people with very different skin types than your own. It would be wise to check what proven ingredients are suitable for your current skin condition and also read reviews that mention the downsides before making a purchase. The brand also sells cotton pads, and using solid products on the skin long-term can weaken the skin barrier. Since an essence is meant to nourish the skin, it's better to apply it gently with your hands rather than using cotton pads (which may absorb more of the product). If you still want to buy this, I recommend looking for it on direct sales platforms or discount sites to get it at a lower price.

The high embryo extract content is an advantage.
Cons1. The formulation itself does not absorb into the skin and just sits on the surface, feeling like a layer. But if you apply it sparingly, it feels dry. After use, there is a sense of rapid dryness. 2. Skin troubles occur.

The scent is almost odorless, and when you first apply it, it's a bit sticky, so you should pat it in to help it absorb. It's one of the essences that you can apply in the morning without any issues. The product was fine and didn't cause any trouble, but the slightly sticky finish made it less appealing to use.
ConsThe product itself is really good, but you have to pat it in for a while to help it absorb. Otherwise, it can feel a bit sticky on the face.
TipI use it after cleansing and apply it twice, so I don't need to use anything else and my skin feels moist and soft. You'll need to use it consistently to see the whitening effects.
