It's a shake-before-use product that's pretty standard. I haven't noticed any particular improvements since using this product. It's just an expensive toner, really!
ConsRecommendedIt has a lingering scent! I usually apply toner with my hands and cup my face to help it absorb, but even my hands retain a subtle, persistent fragrance afterward. I won't be repurchasing this! For the price, I can't find anything particularly good about it.

I love the scent too. I'm really enjoying using this product.
ConsRecommendedThere's not much to dislike, but if I had to pick one thing, I wish it was a bit thicker. It keeps dripping when I pour it into my hand.

In summer, I always use this essence as it's refreshing while providing hydration.
ConsRecommendedThere's not really anything to complain about. The only thing might be its heavy body - if you drop it, it could crack your sink!

With consistent use, you can really feel it addressing that deep dehydration.
ConsRecommendedThe scent is a bit off-putting. It's hard to describe, but it's somewhat reminiscent of... saliva? There's a hint of that kind of odor. Still, the effectiveness is so clear that I tolerate it and use it regularly.

It's great for acne-prone skin as it doesn't cause additional blemishes and really locks in moisture. When applied before makeup, it smooths out dead skin cells, helping your makeup go on beautifully.
ConsRecommendedIf you're not a fan of sticky textures, you might not enjoy this. Apart from providing hydration, I can't say I noticed any particular soothing effects or other special benefits.

When I apply it, my skin feels soft and smooth. It's great how it makes my skin feel silky. I noticed it had a calming effect when I was dealing with seborrheic dermatitis.
ConsRecommendedIt's on the pricier side, but it lasts a long time. I go through about 1.5 bottles a year. The scent is slightly reminiscent of cucumber...
