Despite its watery texture, it's surprisingly good at moisturizing! Compared to other essences, the quantity seems generous. The water-based formula makes it easy to use without feeling heavy on the skin!
ConsThe glass container is quite heavy, though it looks pretty. The price is a bit steep, which can be a bit of a burden. It's on the richer side, so it might not be ideal for summer use!
TipYou can apply it instead of toner, and then again as the last step in your routine to lock in both hydration and moisture!

Just by adding this one product, my makeup applies so much better.
ConsThe price is undeniably steep. However, I still end up buying it because it's so effective for deep dehydration.

When my skin feels a bit off, applying two layers works wonders. On particularly dry days, it even works well as a skin pack.
ConsWhile the purple glass bottle is pretty, it's quite heavy and a bit inconvenient to use. The finish feels slightly heavy on the skin, which makes it difficult for my combination skin to use year-round. I only used it for a few months during the peak of winter, so it was hard to finish the whole bottle before it expired.

Though it's called an essence, I used it like a toner/skin. It has a nice viscosity. ✔️ Recommended for normal and combination skin during seasonal changes I think even oily skin types could use it (depending on what products follow) ✔️ Hydrating without feeling heavy ✔️ While I'm not sure about its boosting effects, it works great in synergy with moisturizers applied after
ConsThere's not much to complain about... Well, I wish they'd offer bigger discounts. It's quite pricey..
Tip✔️ If you feel your current essence lacks hydration, try switching your toner to this one ✔️ If your home environment isn't too humid or hot, and your skin doesn't feel tight 5-6 hours after applying just this product, you likely have normal skin

Despite its thin consistency, it doesn't run like water. It provides just the right amount of hydration before applying ampoules or creams, making it perfect for my morning routine.
ConsThe price doesn't quite match its performance. For me, it's too rich for summer, so I can only use it during the winter months.

Usually, water-based toners can actually make my face feel dry, but this one doesn't have that effect.
Cons- Insufficient moisturizing power While it's more hydrating compared to other toners, the product itself isn't particularly moisturizing. It is an essence after all. Compared to typical essences, it's not hydrating at all. It's in an awkward position - too expensive to use liberally as a toner, but not effective enough to use as an essence. - It irritates my eyes I was using it since I had already bought it, but whenever I use this product alone, my eyes feel irritated. At first, I thought it was just fatigue, but when I don't use it, my eyes don't sting. It's definitely because of this product.
TipI recommend it as an alternative if you're looking for a hydrating toner.

This is my go-to savior whenever my skin feels rough and parched. While those with oily skin might find it a bit rich, it's perfect for dry skin - moisturizing without being too heavy. It helps dead skin cells adhere smoothly and replenishes hydration, resulting in a brighter complexion. The watery texture absorbs quickly while providing ample moisture. Depending on the season, you can use it alone or layer with an emulsion or cream - it's truly a year-round staple. When my body feels dry, I mix it with a body emulsion, and my skin improves dramatically!
ConsThe glass bottle is quite heavy, unfortunately. It would be great if they could release a smaller size version.

When the weather was hot, I felt it was too moisturizing to use alone, but now that there's a cool breeze, it's just perfect. My mom, who has drier skin than me, uses this product as a toner and loves it so much that I bought another bottle. It has a gentle feel, hydrates well, absorbs cleanly, and above all, it's great for improving skin texture. I'm not sure about acne reduction, but I haven't noticed it causing any blemishes.
ConsEverything's good, but I wish it came in a pump bottle... A recyclable pump bottle would be ideal.
TipIt absorbs quickly and the hydration lasts long, making it great for body use too. When you're too lazy to apply cream, try splashing this on instead.

However, it's a bit tricky because you use this as a toner and then still need an essence. It's not quite moisturizing enough to replace both toner and essence in one go. Still, it's a solid choice that doesn't cause blemishes and is easy to use without any fuss.
ConsI didn't really notice much of a 'boosting' effect. The glass bottle makes it a bit heavy, if anything.

It creates a protective layer on the face, keeping the skin from feeling dry. As someone with oily skin, I found it sufficient to apply this product generously during summer when I'm too lazy for a full skincare routine.
ConsAlthough the formula is water-like, it has a slippery feel that creates a film on the skin. This might feel a bit greasy... Those who dislike this sensation might find it disappointing.
