The formula absorbs quickly without any sticky or slippery feeling. Its lightweight texture makes it perfect for use as an exfoliating toner. After application, your skin feels noticeably smoother.
ConsThe product contains phenoxyethanol, PEG, and BHT. While I usually don't have issues with fermented ingredients, I occasionally experienced a tingling sensation on my skin when using this product.

After trying it, I'd say it's pretty good.
ConsI wish it were a bit more affordable, and it might be a bit heavy for summer use.
TipWhen mixed with my regular cream, it gives a sensation of quickly calming the skin.

I love applying it to my face, neck, and décolleté right after showering, gently massaging it in. The natural-like scent is so refreshing! However, I find that the Microessence suits my skin a bit better. The Kombucha Essence feels slightly over-nourishing yet somehow lacking - it's sticky to apply but doesn't provide that deep hydration I'm after, so I probably won't repurchase it. That said, when my body feels extra dry, I'll apply it all over before my body emulsion. It leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and supple. If money were no object, I'd love to use this as a body moisturizer!
ConsI had no idea Fresh products were in this price range. The main drawback is, without a doubt, the price.
TipBefore stepping out of the shower, I generously apply it to my face, neck, and décolleté, massaging along my skin's contours. It really helps reduce puffiness. It's a great way to end the day feeling refreshed before bed.

I absolutely love both the scent and how it absorbs into my skin.
ConsFresh products are usually on the pricier side, which can be a bit disappointing. However, if you buy this in a larger size, it lasts quite a while and seems reasonably priced!

There's a refreshing yet slightly rich aroma. It's not exactly unpleasant, but I wouldn't say I love it either. It's somewhat similar to black tea, and while it's not amazing, it gives the product an essence-like feel, which isn't bad. Texture - It's a slightly slippery water-like consistency. The fluidity is so watery that I thought it might be a toner, but when you touch it, there's a subtle silky feeling. It's not an unpleasant slipperiness, but more like a lightweight essence. Application - I enjoyed the light essence-like feel. I absolutely hate sticky essences, but this one starts off like a toner and finishes like an essence, making it comfortable to use. Of course, the price is a bit burdensome... Effects - As you use it, your skin starts to glow. I have extremely dry skin, so it's less noticeable for me, but when someone with normal skin tried it, there was a visible glow. It's not an oily shine or a hydrated glow, but more of a silky radiance as if a thin protective layer has formed on the skin.
ConsApplication - Thanks to the aforementioned silky feeling, it really gives off an essence vibe. It absorbs moistly, but there's a very slight, almost imperceptible coated finish. It definitely addresses deep dryness and seems to try to maintain hydration with its subtle coating effect, but for an essence, the hydration/moisturization is slightly lacking.
TipIf you're going to use it, don't be stingy. Using it sparingly because it's expensive will result in zero effectiveness.

It's also non-irritating. When layered, it provides quite good hydration.
ConsI wonder if it would be easier to apply if it came in a mist form?
TipI transfer it to a mist bottle for use. It's convenient to use after an exfoliating toner.

It has a slightly more noticeable fragrance compared to a toner. After using your toner, when you apply this to your face, it glides on incredibly smoothly and absorbs quickly, as if it's spreading and sinking right into your skin. Unlike typical water essences that absorb rapidly like regular toners, Fresh Kombucha has an exceptionally silky feel. Often, water-type essences can leave your skin feeling like the hydration has evaporated, but this product maintains its moisturizing effect while leaving a subtle, hydrated glow on your skin! It's reminiscent of that radiant look you get after a professional facial treatment. The softness makes you feel like your skin texture is improving significantly. My skin genuinely became incredibly smooth and supple. It hydrates your skin well without feeling greasy or oily. Despite being an essence, it's neither sticky nor heavy - the lightweight formula doesn't feel suffocating at all. You can definitely feel your skin becoming more hydrated and firmer! The hydration is so good that you could get away with using just this product alone.
ConsWhile it's on the pricier side, I'm extremely satisfied because after using this essence, my complexion seems a bit clearer, and my previously dull and dark skin tone is gradually improving.

ConsNo major drawbacks, but it absorbs quickly so it might feel a bit dry. It's not particularly hydrating.

It's excellent for refining rough skin texture. The essence absorbs quickly, leaving minimal stickiness and feeling fresh yet moisturizing. With frequent use, I noticed it seemed to tighten my skin texture and pores, which I really liked. The scent isn't artificial or overpowering, making it very pleasant to use. Following the instructions to layer it three times really showcases its exceptional moisturizing power. It effectively combats deep dryness, so I've been using it all winter long. Being gentle, it didn't cause any blemishes on my super sensitive skin.
ConsAfter trying the sample and loving it, I looked into buying the full-size product, but the price is quite steep. Moreover, the ingredients... PEG is my least favorite, and it's right there. As someone with extremely sensitive skin, I'm unsure about purchasing the full-size version.
