  Pros

  1. 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.

  Cons

  1. 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.

  Tip

  With 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.

  Pros

  It's great that it's gentle. I use it like a toner, not an essence. It's trouble-free, fragrance-free, and absorbs well - I really love it.

  Cons

  The formula isn't suitable for use as an essence. Considering it as a toner, the price is a bit high.

  Pros

  This is a well-balanced hydrating toner. Even after using a mildly acidic foam cleanser, my face doesn't feel tight, so I've been using this watery toner consistently. It's fragrance-free and a transparent water-based toner. There are no issues with breakouts or anything negative, it's quite nice.

  Cons

  It doesn't really have any distinctive features. There's nothing exceptional about it in any particular area, nor does it have any trouble-calming properties. Compared to relatively inexpensive alternatives, it doesn't seem very competitive.

  I've been using it well for more than 10 bottles without any trouble~ I'm glad I found an essence that suits my skin.

  Cons

  I'm using it as both a toner and an essence. There's nothing particularly disappointing about it~

  Pros

  It's not sticky and it's moisturizing. It doesn't particularly cause any trouble or anything.

  Cons

  Since it's an essence that you use by soaking in cotton, it seems to get used up quickly.

  Pros

  I have sensitive skin, but I don't have any blemishes and my face looks brighter, so I'm happy about it. I've already used five bottles and I don't think I'll be able to use anything else.

  Cons

  The formula is a bit thin, so one application is not enough. I have to apply it three or four times before my skin feels moisturized, so it gets used up quickly. Other than that, there's nothing else I'm particularly unhappy about.

  Pros

  It really does create a gorgeous, radiant skin! It absorbs quickly and after absorption, it glides smoothly across the skin... making the skin look so transparent and refined. I can even just wear sunscreen and go out, as my skin looks so polished. I've been using it for 2-3 years now, and apart from the occasional small pimple, I don't get any breakouts at all - it really replenishes the moisture balance perfectly for my skin. I just scoop a generous amount onto my palm and apply it a couple times, then follow up with a firming water, and my skin stays hydrated all day! The Primera brand is the best, and this is a great large-sized product.

  Cons

  There's really nothing bad about it... If I had to nitpick, maybe the fragrance? But I personally didn't find it bothersome at all.

  Tip

  I keep it in the fridge to use as a soothing treatment, and it feels so refreshing and nice. I've also used it as a face mask before, and it worked great.

  Pros

  I bought this based on a YouTuber's recommendation, and I feel like it's worth the price. It's non-irritating and I haven't had any particular trouble because of it. When applied, it immediately feels moisturizing and has quite good lasting hydration.

  Cons

  The only downside is the price, I suppose? It has a toner-like feel, but I'm not sure if I would buy it again at this price.

  Tip

  Adjusting the amount to use is a bit tricky, so it's best to put your palm over the opening and dispense it that way!

  Sensitive and dry It's a smooth and gentle product that doesn't cause any trouble. I've been using it consistently for over 5 years.

  Pros

  After using the cleansing water, gently pat it in and then apply the next essence - it makes the skin feel so moisturized The lightweight formula is not greasy at all and is gentle, so it doesn't cause any breakouts Overall, my skin tone looks brighter and more transparent

  Cons

  Compared to other essences, it's difficult to expect dramatic effects for the price

  Tip

  If you put a generous amount of the cotton pads from Primera on your skincare routine as a finishing step, it seems to help control any mid-day dryness
