I really like using this product as it provides a cooling step to my skincare routine , however it’s safe to say that essences don’t necessarily do anything more than just damping your face in water. I haven’t noticed any improvements and if I use it on damp skin it tends to foam up which’s annoying since it’s recommended to use on damp skin. Anyways if you don’t mind spending some extra money for a product that isn’t going to do much for you besides temporarily hydrate your skin then go ahead and purchase it.
