A great choice for oily acne-prone skin; a few moisturizers fit it even better.

## Why this fit

- Highly suitable for your oily skin, this essence provides excellent hydration and plumping with high concentrations of Sodium Hyaluronate and Saccharide Isomerate, balancing moisture without exacerbating oiliness.
- While it offers general hydration benefits, it lacks specialized ingredients to effectively target your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate.

## What reviewers say

This essence is widely celebrated for achieving the coveted Korean "glass skin" look, effectively treating dehydrated and dry skin conditions with deep, layerable moisture. Users consistently report that the fragrance-free formula plumps fine lines and restores elasticity without irritation, though it is primarily a hydration booster rather than a complex anti-aging treatment. This summary is based on a very large amount of data and should be definitely taken into account.

- Liked: Lightweight & layerable (often mentioned)

Sources: [The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28163068/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35796638/)

### What does Glycerin do for oily acne-prone skin?

Glycerin helps keep oily acne-prone skin hydrated without feeling heavy. It draws moisture into the skin while supporting the skin barrier so it stays soft and balanced.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this essence with retinol by applying it before your retinol product to help keep your skin hydrated and calm. It is unlikely to cause irritation because it has gentle, soothing ingredients, and using a hydrating step first may help your skin tolerate the retinol better.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin?

Hanskin Hyaluron Skin Essence is unlikely to cause irritation or breakouts on oily skin, as it has an excellent safety profile without harsh ingredients, though a small number of reviewers have reported breakouts. It balances moisture without making your skin oily, but it lacks specialized ingredients to target your acne.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41211697/)

### Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?

This essence is safe for the thin skin around the eyes and body because it has a very gentle formula with soothing ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate. It provides good hydration, though a product for the body or eyes also needs targeted rich moisturizers or firming ingredients for those areas.

### Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
