I love this product on bare skin under makeup. It is not sticky, hydrates well and does indeed firm the skin. I really really like it but the spray is not great. I recommend spraying it onto the palms and then apply to the face. It is pretty expensive and otherwise it is quite wasteful.

As always cheap/expensive is very subjective. Works? Kind of. Are there cheaper alternatives as good as this? Yes.

The best essence ever and my favorite product from SR. Plums your skin and controls pores on the face. I continue to re-purchase it again and again. 

One of my favourite essences. A bit expensive, but packed up with some great ingredients. Sinks in well in the skin.

This is a mist, so if you’re like me, you’ll thing it won’t do much but it’s a little miracle! I have a sensitive, red ruddy complexion that is quite textured on the lower cheeks due to a keratin deficiency I had since birth, this pink liquid is so calming and really smooths the texture without adding an obvious layer of anything. Plus I got it half price! Next time it goes on offer, I’ll be stocking up! I recommend you spray into your palm rather than directly on the face as it will go further that way and you’re not wasting it in your hair, on your walls etc. if you’re thinking about it, get it!
