My skin has this beautiful glow, but it's not from being oily. It's more like a smooth, polished look that stays even after washing. My complexion is so silky and soft, I can't stop touching it all day. This is... revolutionary!
ConsIt's way too sticky, I just can't tolerate this. They used to have 50% off sales, so I could buy it for $15, but now they only do 30% off. That's just not fair!

If you use it regularly while exfoliating, your skin texture improves dramatically. When I don't use it, my skin feels less firm. Pros: - Great ingredients: Simple yet effective formula. I've noticed significant improvements - my skin feels incredibly smooth and firm, which also helps makeup apply better! - Versatile application: Absorbs well whether applied before makeup or at bedtime. It doesn't cause pilling. There's a slight tackiness initially, but I've gotten used to it. It disappears when you layer other products on top anyway. - Pleasant fragrance: I personally enjoy the scent. - Excellent value for money! Hard to find a substitute. I also use The Body Shop's DOY serum, which has similar effects but is much pricier. The Witch's Potion brown essence sometimes stung and was too watery without matching this product's effectiveness. For smoothing skin texture, this essence is my top pick. I often buy it with a 30% discount during The Face Shop's online-exclusive sales!
ConsThere aren't many downsides, but if I had to mention one, it's that the texture is a bit sticky. However, I've gotten used to it, so it doesn't bother me. Another 'con' is that I use it up quickly because I love it so much and tend to apply generously! Also, it's disappointing that they used to offer 50% discounts, but now even 30% off is rare.
TipFor best results, gently massage it into acupressure points like facial contours, under the eyebrows, and below the chin while applying. It helps improve skin tone too! Additional note: I'm also using the Bifida toner from the same line. It's very hydrating and has a nice scent. However, I've noticed occasional itchiness, and it turns out it contains ingredients that can be irritating for sensitive skin. While the essence is fantastic, I wouldn't recommend using the toner and essence as a set if you have sensitive skin.

I'm really satisfied because it definitely locks in both hydration and oil to prevent my face from feeling tight, while not being sticky at all. Plus, with consistent use, I've noticed my skin texture has become noticeably smoother. I bought it from an online shop at a 1+1 deal, so I'm happy with the price too. Using at most 6 drops a day (about half a dropper?), this amount is plenty sufficient.
ConsThere's not really anything I'm disappointed about. If anything, I just hope to see a larger size at an even better price in the future.
TipIt seems to have similar effects to a first essence, but when mixed with other creams or oils, it feels like it doubles the hydration.

ConsI've heard that people whose skin doesn't agree with the yeast ingredient might experience blemishes. Fortunately, it worked well for me and I didn't have any issues...

First off, I liked that both have over 96-97% bifida content. Also, after use, my skin texture becomes smoother. Unlike other essences where water and glycerin are listed first (making me think there's barely any good stuff in there), these bifida essences are different, which I appreciate. Another plus is the affordable price point.
ConsBoth have a similar scent, but Yuri Pibu's is stronger. Yuri Pibu also seems to have a thicker consistency, while The Face Shop's feels a bit more watery. Neither absorbs quickly, so you'll need to wait a bit after application.
TipHowever, I noticed that Yuri Pibu Bifida made my skin feel smoother, had a higher concentration, and a more noticeable scent.

This is truly my holy grail! It's slightly rich and deeply hydrating. From the first application, you can visibly see how it smooths out your skin.
ConsAfter prolonged use, there might be a brief period where your skin seems to 'adjust'. However, it's definitely worth continuing to use. I always keep a stock of this and even gift it to others.

It's wonderfully hydrating. With pricier products, I tend to use them sparingly, but with this one, I can apply generously. It makes my skin feel incredibly smooth. Considering the price, I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be repurchasing!
ConsUnfortunately, it's not available for purchase in physical stores...

Whether it's toner or essence, irritating products immediately cause tingling and a burning sensation, so I often change my skincare routine. Application: Smooth like oils, feels like creating a protective layer by patting several times. After use: Planning to repurchase. When applied after cleansing, the hydration lasts long and my face feels light. Even if I forget to apply moisturizer before bed, my skin feels soft and supple the next morning.
ConsI've seen reviews mentioning that some people don't react well to products containing bifida or yeast derivatives.

Despite having sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes when using this. It applies smoothly and feels refreshing. Even though my skin is super sensitive, I noticed it made my skin feel smoother after use.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing about it. Just keep in mind that since this isn't a cream, you'll need to apply a moisturizer in winter for extra hydration.
TipAfter applying, gently pat it into your skin to help it absorb well.

Compared to those two, this one seems to offer incredible value for money! It helps with blemishes and improves skin texture. My skin feels smooth and healthier.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad... If I had to nitpick, maybe the fact that you can only buy it online?
TipIt's great to purchase during the 50% off sales
