I'm currently using the 30cc complimentary size, and I have a very strong intention to repurchase. LOL. It has a layered separation, so when you shake it before use, it becomes a lovely pink color. Upon first use, it was as potent as the * pink bottle toner, haha. It's a toner-type essence. The fragrance is also very nice.
ConsThe sample is for free, but the actual product is surely the same. I'm using it diligently and am very satisfied with this essence!!! The essence is light yet moisturizing, which I like.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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 product has a two-layer structure, with an emulsion layer and a toner layer. When shaken up and down, the layers blend together as shown in the attached photo. It provides deep hydration, and doesn't feel heavy even in the middle of winter. The product has good elasticity - even before using it, my skin felt quite dry, but after using it, the skin elasticity improved significantly. The high emollient content in the first essence helps easily boost the hydration level, and the moisture retention is excellent. The product has a cozy rose scent that feels light and luxurious, which is the most satisfying rose-scented cosmetic I've encountered so far. As someone sensitive to scents, I was impressed by how well-crafted the fragrance is. I wish there was a body lotion with a similar scent. The narrow dispenser allows for controlled, small amounts to be dispensed, which is an important feature for a hydrating blended formula. The generous gift set, including a knee blanket, also provided good value for the price. The product is highly moisturizing and suitable for use in winter, especially for dry skin types. However, it may not be suitable for oily skin types, and combination skin types may want to use it only in the cream step during spring or fall. The product contains premium ingredients like evening primrose oil and soy polypeptides from the first step, which is a nice feature.
ConsThe absorption is not particularly fast, but it slowly fills the skin. If you use too much, the absorption rate will slow down significantly, so you need to adjust the amount properly. If you fail to adjust the amount, it will appear glossy on the skin like a water-based product. However, this product has a formulation that makes it difficult to perfectly control the amount. It drips out of the narrow outlet, and since it has almost no viscosity, the amount control is not perfect. As for the transfer, if you apply it directly by inverting the bottle, the solution may spill around the outlet as shown in Photo 2. Of course, it's fine to wipe it off with a wet wipe, but the inconvenience of having to do so is a slight drawback from a hygiene perspective. (The photo was taken without wiping the residue around to show the surrounding residue.)
TipYou need to manually shake the two-layer formula to blend it, as simply turning it can cause a major disaster with leakage. Even if you've tightly closed the lid as usual, I recommend turning it all the way to the end and holding it in that position while shaking. Actually, if you try this method, you'll feel a click when it reaches the point where it's fully closed. Blending it this way ensures the formula never leaks out! This product is especially recommended for those who love a glowy look and those with dry skin! The unique blending process required with each use may be a pro or con depending on the person. For those who want to quickly go through their skincare routine, the inconvenient mixing step could be a downside, while for those who enjoy activities and need exercise, it could be a preferred feature. Additionally, the glass packaging makes it heavier, further emphasizing this characteristic. We used 'Lithospermum Root Extract' to achieve the strawberry milk-like pink hue of the emulsion layer formula.

ConsIt's a bit burdensome to use in the summer~ It's a complex product, but I use it well in the other seasons~

It's a peculiar(?) cosmetic product that I find myself reaching for again every winter. Even though I have oily skin, it seems to be the only base product with oil that I end up using. When I used it, it didn't give an incredible glow, but on my friend who uses the same product, her face had a radiant shine. Anyway, it's moisturizing, and seems like a good product for oily skin to use in the winter. But once the weather gets warmer, I can no longer use it..^_ㅠ And my husband likes it even more than I do, so he keeps stealing it from me.
ConsThere's nothing specific. The scent is not too strong, but rather subtle and pleasant. It seems suitable for both men and women to use.

I have dry skin, but I can feel the moisture filling up after using it just once. I'm not sure what type the pink color is, but I shake and mix it before using. The subtle rose scent is so nice.
ConsThe container is made of glass, and when shaken and mixed, the contents keep spilling out from the container and my hand. It would be better if it were a spray type.

When applied, it seems like it will be moisturizing. The longevity is not too short.
ConsThe sticky and greasy feel is inconvenient, yet the moisturizing power seems to be lacking.

ConsConsidering the significant difference in the spreadability compared to the previous Primera products, you should keep in mind that the formula is quite watery.

ConsFor combination skin (oily T-zone, dry elsewhere), the dry feeling can be noticeable during seasonal changes, so it's recommended to apply a rich ampoule or cream well.
TipThe mini-size is convenient to use by shaking it, and it often helps with touch-ups, so I often carry it around as a portable option.
