It’s a sort of surprising product, I ignored the first versions of it when it was launched a couple of years ago because I have used similar types of essences, toners or lotions for years, call them w...Read more

Overall, I really like this product. I splash it on my face in the AM and PM, after thoroughly cleansing. Some have compared the smell with saliva, and I'd say that's very accurate. (While that may no...Read more

It's my life-saver. When I get any irritation or redness, I always apply this on my skin. For the result, it soothes as well as strengthens my skin. I'm now using the third bottle. It's so worth to in...Read more

It is a good essence, however I didn’t feel much effect and I had to use it a lot for my entire face to feel saturated and soaked in it. Therefore I ran out of it with less than 2 months. For the pric...Read more

I've never been entirely "sold" on the whole idea/value/need for "essences" - it just seemed like one more bit of snake oil sales that the cosmetic companies were trying to convince us that we "need"....Read more

This product is nothing like I've used before and is my go-to product now. I'm very on and off with products in general, so that says a lot for me. I use 2 or 3 drops in the morning and evening after ...Read more
