Thoughts: Etude House Age Defense Essential Emulsion

I went from an easy, hurried, low-maintenance facial cleaning ritual to trying out the Asian 10 step skincare routine. Being raised in New York City has damaged and polluted my skin; I'm now repairing and focusing on anti-aging.
I want to buy and use products from a broad number of brands, I didn't just want to stick with one brand, I shopped around and compared all. I will try to write reviews each month, one which will be a list my skincare routine products, sharing my experiences on each product.

Etude House Age Defense Essential Emulsion

Etude House Age Defense Essential Emulsion 130ml

I'm still not a fan of this brand after using two products, both from the total repair line.

I think Etude house is a brand along with Laneign and Missha where you can't mix the usage of other brands in your skincare routine.

Yes, this product smells nice, sticking with the princess feel, but it doesn't absorb nicely, and it packs onto my skin and leaves my skin looking oily. I guess this product is more for people with dry skin.

I can't use this product between my Mizon essence and Mizon snail repair cream because I get "little balls of lint" on my face due to chemical imbalance with the Mizon brand.
So combination skin+mizon+Etude house= unhappy customer.

I will use this product as a daytime cream right after cleansing if I'm in a rush and don't have time to apply toner and essence.
