I wanted to love this because the mist is so refreshing but it made my pores look humongous and my face and décolleté became glaringly shiny and sticky. It's possible that my skin wasn't...

This is an excellent hydrating toner. I apply after washing and it brightens and retains moisture/plumpness for a dewy, young look. I received this as a gift, but wouldn't repurchase due to the...

I bought in Korea and for 150 ml it costs only $50 meanwhile at my home place, it's being sold for more than $100! How ridiculous! But since I bought it in Korea, I thought it's a great bargain....

I have been using SKII essence and don't like it at all. Does nothing for my skin. Missha is so much cheaper, more moisturising and better value.

I didn't have much luck with the SK-II Essence (it basically did the opposite of what it claimed to do for my skin), so I had very low expectations for this one, but decided to try it out after...
