  • Good for all skin types – Product reviewers of different skin types attest to the effectiveness of the product in hydrating their skin.

  • Perfect all year round – This skin essence draws in moisture and retains moisture, ideal for summer and wintertime, respectively. Apply it on damp face and let your skin absorb it for a minute for best results.
  • Hybrid product – Hanskin Real Complexion Hyaluron Skin Essence is a toner, treatment, and moisturizer in one. You can use this for these three steps of the Korean skincare routine. It is also said to help the face better absorb other products of your skincare routine.
  • A little goes a long way – A handful of reviewers has claimed that one bottle will last for months—one mentioned hers last almost 10 months even after using it twice daily! Only two to three drops of the essence are needed per use hence a bottle will last for months.

Things you might not like

  • Has more viscous consistency compared to other essences – Some reviewers describe the product as slimy.
  • Possible side effects – It might cause redness when applied to very damaged skin (e.g., wounds).
  • Inefficient bottle design – A few users mentioned that it should have a pump for easier use. Meanwhile, some commented that the bottle is heavy and bulky, which is not ideal as a travel companion.

Recommendations
