Why I bought it I purchased the large size after seeing it recommended by beauty YouTubers I follow, including Lia Yu and other cosmetics reviewers. 2. Ingredients I used it without worrying about the ingredients, as it's from one of the Amore Pacific brands that I trust for cosmetic formulations. Thanks to the good ingredients, I didn't experience any blemishes while using it. 3. Essence texture It has a water-like consistency with just a hint of viscosity, not sticky at all, so I could use it comfortably every day.
Cons1. Absorption and hydration It feels moisturizing when first applied and leaves a slightly firm feeling even after a few minutes. However, there's always a sense that it's just sitting on top of the skin, and I constantly questioned whether it was actually absorbing. As a result, I had to pat it in more times than with other essences. To see the effects claimed by the company, I had to become my own test subject and use it consistently for over 6 months. But I couldn't tell what, if anything, had improved. It seemed to just maintain my skin's original condition rather than enhance it. Perhaps due to the minimal niacinamide content, it didn't provide much help with brightening either. 2. Price For these reasons, I didn't feel the need to spend this much money on this product over the numerous other essences available from road shops.
TipWith so many cosmetics on the market and overwhelming marketing, it's not ideal to make purchases based on cumulative sales numbers or reviews from strangers with completely different skin types. I think a wise consumer should check how proven ingredients will work on their current skin condition and read reviews that mention drawbacks before making a purchase. -It was sold with cotton pads, but using solid materials on the skin can weaken the skin barrier in the long run. Since this is a nourishing essence, not an exfoliating toner, it's better to pat it in with your hands. (The cotton pads seem to absorb more product anyway...) -If you still want to buy it, I recommend looking for it through door-to-door sales or various sale sites to get it a bit cheaper.

The high content of embryo extracts is a notable advantage of this product.
Cons1. The formula doesn't absorb well into the skin. Instead, it sits on the surface and pills like dead skin cells. Using less product leads to dryness, and there's a feeling of deep dryness after use. 2. It causes blemishes to appear.

The product absorbs well.
ConsAs I have combination skin, it seems to sit on top of my skin. Even after applying toner and using the seed essence on a cotton pad, it still doesn't absorb properly.
TipIt's great to use after keeping it in a skincare fridge.

ConsWhen applied after toner, it doesn't absorb immediately. It takes a bit of time to sink in, spreading slightly before full absorption

Might be great for oily skin types.
ConsUnfortunately, the scent is... sigh. I'm not sure about its hydration properties. It feels like it sits on top of the skin. Not ideal for super sensitive skin, as it may cause itching.

The scent is almost fragrance-free, and it's a bit sticky when first applied, so make sure to pat it in for better absorption. It's one of those essences I use casually after washing my face in the morning. While it didn't cause any blemishes and was generally a good product, the slightly sticky finish made me less inclined to use it regularly.
ConsThe product itself is really nice, but you need to pat it in for quite a while to absorb properly. Otherwise, it feels sticky and sits on top of your skin without sinking in.
TipI use this after my exfoliating toner, and when I apply two layers, my skin feels so hydrated and soft that I don't need to use anything else. Keep in mind that consistent use is necessary to see the brightening effects.

While I can't pinpoint any extraordinary benefits, I definitely noticed fewer blemishes during the time I was using it.
ConsI didn't notice any significant brightening of my complexion. The product doesn't seem to absorb well into the skin, and there's a slight feeling that it sits on the surface.
