HYAAH Licorice First Essence Review

Product Description
Hyaah Licorice First Essence is a soothing essence formulated with Licorice Extract and Hyaluronic Acid to enhance skin hydration, while soothing irritated or acne-prone skin with powerful anti-inflammatory effects. Infused with Allantoin to further help calm irritated skin, reduce redness and inflammation, while enhancing skin texture. Has a fast-absorbing texture that seamlessly delivers deep hydration without stickiness even with multiple layers.

I received a set of Hyaah products as part of a Stylekorean collaboration. After emptying Hyaah Synergy Mask Padthe product I found myself reaching most was the HYAAH Licorice First Essence. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

HYAAH Licorice First Essence Texture


HYAAH Licorice First Essence comes in a 200ml bottle with a pointed nozzle, making it easy to control the amount dispensed despite its runny, watery texture. The lightweight consistency spreads effortlessly across the skin and absorbs quickly with a hint of tackiness. Scent-wise, it carries a subtle herbal fragrance, which feels calming and soothing during application, making it especially pleasant for daily use.

How To Use:
1) Apply as the first step of your skincare routine.
2) Layer as needed depending on your skin condition.

Performance and Ingredients

HYAAH Licorice First Essence is formulated with Licorice Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, and Allantoin, a soothing ingredient blend designed to calm sensitive, irritation-prone skin while reinforcing hydration at the very first step of skincare. Licorice extract helps to comfort and balance the skin, while Hyaluronic Acid delivers lightweight hydration and Allantoin supports skin soothing and resilience.

In terms of performance, the lightweight, watery texture absorbs quickly and hydrates effectively without feeling heavy though it has a hint of tackiness. It layers beautifully, making it easy to adjust the hydration level based on my skin’s needs. On days when my skin feels especially dehydrated, I simply apply additional layers for an extra boost of moisture. 

For my combination skin with surface dehydration, I prefer applying three layers after cleansing before sealing everything in with a moisturiser for optimal comfort and hydration. You can add in a serum but I prefer to keep my routine simple. 

I usually use my palms but you can also use this first essence like a toner while patting or wiping with cotton pads or use as toner packs/lotion masks ( pour first essence on thin cotton pads and layer on skin like a mask )

Adding on, there's only 7 ingredients in the list.

The key ingredients are....

Licorice Extract : Soothes redness, calms sensitive skin and supports skin conditioning for a clear, healthy appearance

Allantoin : Gentle soothes irritation, protects the skin barrier and supports smooth, comfortable skin

Sodium Hyaluronate : Deeply hydrates by binding moisture to the skin, keeping it plump and refreshed throughout the day

Purified water, licorice extract (20%), propanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, allantoin, ethylhexylglycerin, sodium hyaluronate

With its soothing blend of Licorice Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, and Allantoin, it helps calm irritation while delivering lightweight, buildable hydration. The watery texture absorbs effortlessly, making it easy to layer without overwhelming the skin.
