Cosrx Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence

Today, I want to talk about this essence from Cosrx. I've been using it every day for the past week in my PM skincare routine and I really enjoy it.
Cosrx is a brand that focuses on using minimal ingredients for maximum function.

Claims
"Cosrx Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence is a daily power essence that nourishes deeper inside the skin and promotes moisture retention. With Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate 4,000 ppm) as the key ingredient, it enables the skin to increase its water retention so as to help with reducing wrinkles and treat dry and damaged skin.
Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence helps to create smooth skin texture and does not contain harmful substance / chemicals that can irritate your skin (does not contain paraben, artificial fragrance and coloring, mineral oil, etc)."

Ingredients
Hippophae Rhamnoides Water (sea bucktorn water), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Ethyl Hexanediol.

As you can see, this essence only contains seven ingredients and none of them are parabens, artificial colorants and fragrance which makes it perfect even for sensitive skin.

Noticeable ingredients
Sea Bucktorn Water (84,8%): The Sea Bucktorn fruit is full of vitamins and antioxidants.
Sodium Hyaluronate (4,000 ppm): Sodium Hyaluronate is derived from Hyaluronic Acid. It has the same benefits but Sodium Hyaluronate is absorbed more easily. Sodium Hyaluronate can hold 1000 times its own weight in water which is why it has amazing moisture-binding abilities.

The packaging

This essence comes in a box. On the box, there are claims, 'how to use' and ingredients list in both Korean and English.

The packaging of the bottle is classic Cosrx: Simple. The bottle contains 100 ml. product and it has a pump dispenser so it's easy to control the amount of product. It comes in a see-through bottle so you can see how much product you have left. There is a label on the bottle where there are claims written in English.

Texture and color
It's not easy to see the essence on the spatula but it's there. The essence is clear. I was surprised by how watery it is - it's thinner than Cosrx Advanced 96 Snail Mucin Essence but it's still thicker than toner. It spreads out easily on the skin.

Smell

I can't describe the smell of this but it's barely noticeable. 

How to use

"After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount on your entire face. Gently pat using fingertips to aid absorbtion, and then go forth with your moisturizers."

Effects

Once applied, this essence absorbs quickly into my skin without leaving any sticky residue.

It leaves my skin feeling so hydrated and smooth.

Since I've only used this for a week, I haven't seen any longterm results but I do feel like my skin is more hydrated and looks more plump than before I started using it.

Pros

- Short ingredients list.

- Practical pump bottle.

- No noticeable smell.

- Does as it claims to do.

Cons

I can't think of any cons. 

Would I recommend?

Sure. If you're looking for a hydrating essence, this is perfect and due to it's short ingredients list and lightweight texture, I think it will fit all skintypes.

Repurchase?

I haven't used this enough to decide whether to repurchase this but it's not unlikely.
