Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Hwahae Trial Reviewer's Yehwa-dam Watery Plum Essence is my absolute favorite essence and I'm currently using it by the bottle. It's the only product that has truly stuck with me in my skincare routine...! It's so jelly-like, soft, moisturizing, and it really takes my skin's radiance to the next level - it makes me feel like my skin is beautiful on its own. Even though I have extremely dry skin, I've tried other essences that are supposedly good, but I always come back to this one after testing. It's a product I strongly recommend to anyone with dehydrated skin! Have you ever found an essence that can tackle dehydration so effectively? I really think you should give this a try at least once - I feel so lost without it and I'm constantly repurchasing it. Please don't discontinue this amazing watery essence!โก
ConsThe only downside is that such a great product only comes in a 45ml size... They sometimes have 75ml available during special events, and whenever that happens I make sure to buy the larger size and stock up. The 45ml size is a bit small and the price is a bit burdensome...(I wish the company would make a 75ml version regularly!)
TipYou don't even need to use a separate toner, as this essence effectively tackles dehydration. You can just use this essence right after cleansing and it works great!

The scent is also to my liking, and there are no particular skin troubles. It's functional, and the price is not overly burdensome, so I use it comfortably and it's the best. Living abroad, The Face Shop is really great - it seems to suit Asian skin well! It would be good for people in their 20s and 30s to use.
ConsIn the past, The Face Shop was reasonably priced in Korea, but here, since it's imported, it doesn't seem as affordable. If you buy it as a set, it's around 200,000 won.
TipBe sure to use it generously along with the cream ๐

I bought the full-size version after trying a sample, and it was so good. It's expensive, but the mild ingredients and good absorption make it worth it.
ConsThe essence is highly concentrated, so it can stretch out a long time when you divide it up to use. It's hard to describe the feeling, but it's not exactly cream-like when you dispense it onto the back of your hand. Other than that, there's nothing else I'm really unhappy with.

The basic formula is quite dense and a bit heavy, which seems to work well for the dry season! I'm not very sensitive to scents, so I don't mind much, but it does have a bit of a 'mom's cosmetics' smell to it haha While this is a functional product, my skin was already in pretty good condition, so I'm not sure if I've noticed any significant effects. Looking at the ingredients, they don't seem particularly great either. It claims to target wrinkles and whitening, but there are no whitening ingredients. However, I didn't experience any breakouts or issues while using this product. The moisture level right after application was decent, and I didn't experience much dryness. Over time, it did start to feel a bit drying, but I think that's also because I've been using a lighter cream. The hydration was generally okay. There aren't any major downsides, and there aren't any standout effects either - it's been a fairly average experience using this product!
ConsWhen I first received it, the packaging seemed really large, so I checked if it was actually a large-volume product, but it turned out the packaging was just big. Since it's opaque, it's hard to check how much product is left, which is a bit of a downside.

I was worried it would be heavy and sticky, but when I applied it to my skin, it spread out softly and moisturized well. It also absorbs quickly, leaving a refreshing finish. You can get sufficient moisture with just a small amount!
ConsThe only downside is that the scent is a bit too strong ใ ใ It has a strong, adult-like fragrance..
TipThis is a combination dry/oily skin type. Just pump out two pumps and apply, and you won't need to use a separate moisturizer! (Based on summer conditions)

It works well as a finishing step after using a more hydrating product upfront. It leaves a plump and firm finish. The product has more of an oily feel than a hydrating one.
ConsThis product has more of an oily feel, so it may be better suited for dry skin types rather than oily/combination skin.

ConsIt might be too nourishing, as I've had a few pimples on my chin. You need to use it in moderation.

After application, my skin feels soft, smooth, and brightened. I love it so much! It doesn't feel heavy or sticky on the skin, and the absorption is great. A small amount (1-2 pumps) is enough to cover the whole face. I highly recommend this to dry skin types!
ConsThe ingredients are a bit concerning ๐ข It's such a great product, but I wonder why the ingredients are like that... It's good, but hmm... ๐ข (Pretending not to see it)

Haha I was worried it might feel sticky, but not at all! There's this amazing absorption and sinking-in sensation when you apply it to your skin! It really glides on like a soothing gel, without any stickiness or greasiness, and the scent is just divine. It's totally my kind of thing... I just can't stop sniffing it. Magic ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ซ I think I'll have to get some for my mom and grandma too. This essence is a first for me, but it's incredible.
ConsHmm, I tried to use it but nothing was coming out? I opened it up and there's no plastic wand? Maybe that's why I had to press it down a few times to get it to dispense. But the amount that came out was just right for my face, even though I don't have a very small face.
