    This does absolutely nothing, it's like spiked water. Any cheap asian toner will be better than this. I got this as a gift, used about half then tossed it, I could not justify a spot in my regimen...

    Not a fan! Felt more oily than watery on me. I’ve used this for a month and didn’t notice a difference. More oily than the Lancôme one but not in love with that one either.

    This Essence has some nice ingredients but I wouldn't buy it again. It helps the ANR and other serums absorb a little better, and it has an initial effect of feeling like you have sandwiched...

    For years I was an avid SKII essence fan until it suddenly broke me out. I'm allergic to parabens, it seems. I bought this out of desperation and to my surprise it worked. After about a week my...

    This is a nice toner-essence. The essence is gentle on my skin and makes my skin smooth (as in fewer bumps and smaller pores) and balanced (in terms of fewer zits). I've no idea what Estee Lauder...

    I received a small 15ml bottle as a gift from estee lauder and have been using this for a week day and might. Despite being called a 'lotion', it really is more of a toner with extra stuff in it. I...

    If you're okay with thin oily layer on your face you might love this essence. But I hate oily feeling it gives and it badly broke out my skin. I haven't changed anything else in my skin care...
