  Pros

  First off, it's incredibly lightweight with amazing hydration! This is definitely a must-buy product during buy-one-get-one-free or discount events.

  Cons

  The volume feels a bit small. Since the formula is quite thin, it runs out quickly. I wish they'd make a larger size version.

  Pros

  It seems this product has been discontinued... It might have been rebranded as a moisturizer or renamed, but since I have the hydro version, I'm leaving my review here. This product sits somewhere between an emulsion and an ampoule. Its standout features are its light texture and fresh feel when applied. Since it's water-based rather than oil-based, I think it could be great for summer and oily skin types.

  Cons

  As someone with combination dehydrated skin, this product does make my skin feel hydrated, but it doesn't seem to address deep dryness very well. There's this subtle, almost imperceptible feeling of dryness underneath. After reading other reviews, I wonder if it's a matter of quantity. I'll try using more and update my review if I see any improvements.

  Pros

  The biggest advantage is how incredibly lightweight it feels! I tend to layer multiple products, so I really dislike when a single heavy product feels like it's not absorbing. This one sinks right in, which I absolutely love!

  Cons

  The pump dispenses such a tiny amount with each press. Since it's so lightweight, you end up using more... which means you go through it quickly!

  Tip

  This is a great product for summer use. If you prefer richer formulas, you might want to look at other options.

  Pros

  Texture: True to its 'Water Bank' name, this product is packed with hydration. It applies lightly, absorbs quickly, and has a satisfyingly bouncy texture that effectively combats deep dryness. I'm very pleased with both its absorption and moisturizing properties. User experience: I opened this in January or February when it was still winter-cold. After cleansing, I'd apply two pumps, and it would absorb instantly, leaving my skin feeling naturally moisturized from within (not that artificial moisturized feeling you sometimes get). I'd follow up with a moisturizer, adding an extra thin layer on drier areas. Even after applying sunscreen and finishing with powder foundation, there was no dryness or flakiness at all! Now that the weather has warmed up, I still use two pumps after washing my face, followed by just one application of moisturizer. My skin feels natural and comfortable, with no greasiness or dead skin cells showing. It really seems to balance the oil and moisture well. Since COVID, I haven't been using foundation, so I can't speak to how it works with that. But since it's great for deep hydration, I think it would work well if you adjust the amount to your skin's needs. Despite having somewhat sensitive skin, I've never experienced any blemishes or irritation from this product. Scent: It has a cool, slightly sweet, and subtle fragrance that doesn't linger long. I actually quite like it. Packaging: The pump dispenser is convenient to use. I find two pumps perfect for initial application, and one pump is just right when I want to add a bit more. (It's always a bit tricky to do half-pumps.) Also, I really appreciate the tinted but transparent bottle - well done!

  Cons

  The price point is quite high. Even though I'd like to use it again, the cost is prohibitive, which unfortunately means I won't be repurchasing.

  The lightweight formula applies effortlessly and absorbs quickly. It leaves the skin feeling hydrated.

  Cons

  While it feels light, the essence has a noticeable volatility. The presence of phenoxyethanol and fragrance is a drawback.

  A lightweight essence with no sticky feeling~ I've been repurchasing this ever since it was released, every time I run out

  Cons

  It would be great if the price was a bit lower, but I'm still quite satisfied with it as it is

  It absorbs well and feels light on the skin! It's great to apply gently after your toner and emulsion in your skincare routine.

  Cons

  If your skin is extremely dry, this might not be enough. I didn't notice any effects beyond basic hydration.
