Jury's still out
Unlike the toner from the brand, this essence is not too tacky to use on the visage despite being on the thicker and more viscous side of the spectrum. It's fragrance-free so should suit most people. The INCi list is impressive. However, I have yet to figure out whether I truly like it or not. It's a nice enough product and adds hydration, but thus far I am on the fence about another bottle after this one.

What I needed but too pricey
What I noticed immediately with this essence is how it evens out my skin tone and makes texture disappear. But most of all, the skin looks more hydrated since I’ve started to use it. I see how the moisturizer and oil get absorbed by the skin immediately lately. It’s the one step that I never knew I needed. I would give it 5 stars and repurchase it without hesitation if the price wasn’t hold me back.but the price is holding me back. It’s too pricey considering that it’s one of the few brands that are always excluded from any sale.

Luminosity and Hydration
This essence gives me the most hydrated and dewy looking skin, calming any sensitive patches and I’m very happy with it. It’s like a luminosity shot and one can notice a difference with the first application already. The only remark to make is the high price. There are numerous K-Beauty essences that cost much less and I wonder if the big price difference is justified or if it’s a product made for the occidental market and therefore more expensive. It would be interesting to compare the ingredients. Besides the price tag, it’s a wonderful product that gives immediately results and feels good on the skin.

Amazing product - but a bit too expensive
I repurchased this essence a minimum of 5 times (which I rarely do, I like to switch between brands) - but this is painfully expensive. That aside, great ingredients, great for my skin, evens it out, makes it hydrated

Great essence
This essence has an impressive ingredients list, many of them fermented. It has a little bit of body to it providing both hydration and moisturization. It sinks into the skin easily and I think it improves absorption of subsequent products. If you’re not into k-beauty or don’t want to put the effort into researching and trying it, this is a great addition to a skincare routine, after cleansing. If you’re into k-beauty then there are several good alternatives at a fraction of the price.
