What it is
This new desert emulsion tackles the most arid environments. It focuses on the fact that dryness and UV rays cause moisture loss, leading to shriveling of stratum corneum cells and loss of firmness. Learning from the sleeping midge, which survives even in extremely dry environments, this emulsion utilizes three hydration approaches to replenish stratum corneum cells that shrink as the skin dries, maintaining moisture even in dry, desert-like environments. It leaves skin feeling hydrated and firm, just like after a lotion mask. ◆ Three types (M, B, L) to suit different skin conditions ◆ Formulated with est's proprietary ingredient, Ectobiosis (moisturizing: ectoine, diglycol guanidine succinate, trehalose, glycerin) ◆ Rich, rich texture with a cohesive, enveloping feel (feel varies slightly depending on the type) ◆ Aquatic floral scent. *This product is a refill; the original bottle is not included.

I used the lotion and it was so good that I decided to buy the emulsion as well. It's moisturizing but not sticky, which is great! The scent is nice, and after using the emulsion, I felt like my skin was plumper and my pores were less noticeable.
It spreads very easily and feels moisturizing on the skin, which I really like. It also has a subtle, pleasant scent. I'll be buying it again in the hopes that I'll see some changes in my skin with continued use!
I liked the feel of the sample, so I decided to buy the full product. Until then, I'd usually finish my routine with a primer, then lotion, then serum, then cream, but adding emulsion between the serum and cream feels like it completely plumps up my skin. Cream feels like a protective oil, while emulsion delivers essential oils deep into the skin, creating a fluffy, puffy feeling. For those who suffer from dry skin, I recommend using both emulsion and cream! Even when used in the morning, it blends in smoothly and leaves no sticky or slimy residue on the outside, so it doesn't interfere with makeup application. Emulsion is a must-have for me! This product was a must-have for me. Since it's winter and dryness is a concern, I chose the "L" type, but I'd like to try the other two types (there's also a whitening type!) in the spring and summer. By the way, using it together with the same est lotion was amazing, so I'd like to get that lotion as well!
In the winter, if I sleep with the air conditioner on, my skin gets dry in the morning, but after using this emulsion, my skin feels moisturized in the morning. This time I only purchased the emulsion, but I'm thinking of buying the lotion as well!
I heard that M has a high moisturizing power and is a little sticky, so I chose this one. It doesn't cause any problems when applying makeup afterwards, and it doesn't feel dry even without cream, which is great.
