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.
ConsIf 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.

Surprisingly, I noticed my foundation stopped settling into pores and my complexion became more even. It's an essence that works wonders for pores and is absolutely fantastic for managing dead skin cells.
ConsIt can be slightly drying, and I felt a mild tingling sensation at first, but that disappeared with continued use.
TipOn days I wear makeup, I use it on a cotton pad for toning after cleansing. On regular days, I pat it in gently to help it absorb. I wouldn't recommend toning daily as it might irritate the skin.

Surprisingly, it suited my skin better than the full-size Thermal Water Essence! As I used it, I noticed it helped refine my skin texture, seemed to calm dead skin cells, and effectively combated deep dryness. With its water-like texture, this might be better for oily, blemish-prone skin, especially in summer. Plus, the bottle looks refreshingly cool and pretty!
ConsI already use an exfoliating toner, so using an essence with a wipe-off formula feels like I'm rubbing my skin too much. While the 200ml size is generous compared to other essences, the watery texture and wipe-off method mean it gets used up quickly. It's easy to accidentally pour out too much. Also, having to shake it before each use is a bit of a hassle. And like many products, it can cause some irritation until your skin adapts to it.
TipI layer it multiple times using Silcot cotton pads.

At first, I wondered if applying it with my hands would be effective since it's more of an essence than a toner. But as I kept using it, my skin has improved so much! When I dispense it onto my hands and spread it on my face, it initially feels a bit slippery but absorbs quickly. Layering it provides great hydration too. It definitely calms dead skin cells, and I notice my complexion is brighter the next day. I usually prefer layering affordable skincare over expensive products, so I hadn't tried this until I received it as a gift. I was thrilled to get it - the packaging is beautiful, and it felt special to use a gift. But now that I see how clear and clean my skin has become, I understand why people splurge on pricier items. You can get it at a good price during Biotherm's official website sales, and they give lots of samples too! I received so many samples that I've been using them for two months and haven't even opened the full-size product yet!
ConsWhen I first used it, there was an odd scent - kind of like damp laundry? That unpleasant smell made me hesitant to use it. I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, so I stopped using it for a while. But since my husband bought it for me, I persevered and kept using it. In the end, I liked it, but if you're sensitive to scents, you might be put off at first!
TipI apply a thin layer of the light, water-based toner with my hands, patting it in gently. Then I shake the Biotherm essence, dispense a small amount onto my hands, and apply it the same way, patting it in. Before it's fully absorbed, I layer it once more. I finish with a moisturizer, and after a good night's sleep, I wake up to find my dead skin cells have calmed down and my complexion looks brighter.

It brightened my complexion and, most importantly, didn't cause any irritation. It seems to have exfoliated my dead skin cells, leaving my skin looking smooth. My skin feels plump and bouncy, and it seems to have eliminated that deep dryness I used to experience.
ConsThe hydration might be slightly lacking? To be honest, I can't really think of any significant drawbacks.
TipI recommend soaking a cotton pad with it and gently wiping your face in sweeping motions.

It has a moisturizing finish, so there's no dryness when wiping it off or applying it like an essence. I especially feel like it's helped alleviate my deep dryness. With consistent use, I notice it seems to calm down dead skin cells too. It feels like a product that's suitable for daily use without any major irritation.
ConsThe price point seems a bit high compared to the amount you get, which can be a bit burdensome. Also, the scent might be polarizing for some people.

Unlike other dead skin cell and pore care toners that often dry out the skin due to alcohol content, this product contains soothing ingredients. It gently refines dead skin cells daily, leaving the skin hydrated and silky smooth without any dryness.
ConsOn days when my skin isn't at its best, it can suddenly feel quite tingling. Despite this, it works so well for me that I keep stocking up and using it, though it is admittedly on the pricier side.
TipFor areas with a buildup of dead skin cells, soak a cotton pad generously and leave it on like a mask for 3-5 minutes before wiping. It works wonders!

If I apply a cream after using this, my skin feels quite hydrated.
ConsAs I usually only use gentle products, this essence caused severe blemishes on my first use. While I'm prone to acne, I've never had my entire face break out in tiny white pimples before. This is the first time a skincare product has completely upset my skin.

ConsThe scent is like baby vomit masked with perfume. At first, it seems okay, but the underlying smell becomes quite noticeable in the end. Those with sensitive skin might experience tingling or a sudden burning sensation with this toner!

Great for daily exfoliation of dead skin cells. 2. My complexion has become brighter.
Cons1. The biggest downside is the price, unfortunately. It wears down faster than expected - I've used about 70% in just a month. 2. There was a slight tingling sensation at first. I looked it up online and found others had experienced the same. Since it was just a tingle without any other issues, I continued using it and was pleasantly surprised by the results. 3. I have typical combination dehydrated skin, and since it's a clear essence, I anticipated some tightness. However, it caused more deep dryness than I expected.
TipTip: Use cotton pads that don't absorb too much toner. After wiping your entire face once, use the other side to gently pat in the remaining toner. You'll feel a thicker layer of hydration forming.
