I heard lots of people say this was a dupe for the SKII essence but a lot more affordable obviously. I personally wasn't wowed by it. Its not easy to layer, I found that once I did more than 2 layers my face become super shiny. It's good if you only do one layer and continue with the rest of your products. It comes in a glass bottle which makes the experience feel fancy.
As a first skincare step, this essence provides nice moisture back to skin and brightens the tone. Dark spots faded slowly and it also boosts hydration of whichever you use next.
For me I didn’t notice a change in my skin, I have very dry skin or at least some parts of my face are very dry. Every time I applied this my skin just sucked it all up so I would do the 5 step toning tip idk what it’s called but pretty much apply toner/Essenes 5 times to increase the moisture in your skin. I think then this product was good to me. But in my opinion idk it’s overly hyped or atleast I didn’t notice a change in my skin. I have large pores on my nose only so like I said didn’t notice a difference but I don’t have anything negative to say it’s just probably not my skins favorite product.
I've tried other essences in the past but I keep coming back to this one. I use it after double cleansing and applying toner, it absorbs quickly, helps brighten, and preps my skin for other skincare.
I found this as a great alternative to SKII. It leaves the skin soft, so much so that my skin feels strange if I skip this step. Will CONSTANTLY be repurchasing this.
It is high quality. Especially good for those that hates heavy moisturiser but just need a nice and light moisture on the skin. This essence has some weight to it (slight viscosity) compared to a toner. I am currently using it in Spring and it suits cold dry weather as well as on a hot/humid day
No essence has been able to give me the same results as this one. I've been able to keep my youthful skin because of this product, so I always recommend it to my friends as my skincare secret.
First of all, the packaging of this product is wonderful. It feel very luxurious, and it is. I thoroughly enjoyed this product. It was light, hydrating, and refreshing. My skin did not feel sticky at all after using this. I would definitely buy this again if it was on sale!
