This essence makes the skin glow! I don't notice if its very hydrating, however, I do quite enjoy how it layers with other skin products and it achieves the glassy glory skin look.
so i'm usually skeptical of hype because i feel like it's just hype to be hype with no real results. but this one is a rare one that truly lives to the hype. it's the first product i use after washing my face at night. you can literally feel the gunk as you work it into your skin. i then actually rinse my face afterwards and then proceed with the rest of my skincare starting with toner. would purchase again definitely.
