I bought it to use as a toner alternative in summer since I have oily skin. It seems slightly thinner than the tea tree gel from the same company. Personally, I preferred the tea tree gel. It absorbs quickly, and I love the subtle berry scent when applying it.
ConsNo real downsides, it's just basic. Can't really tell about the brightening effects though.
TipThis hydrating gel seems to work well for oily skin types, especially in warmer weather. It has a light texture that absorbs rapidly without leaving any sticky residue. The pleasant berry fragrance adds a nice touch to the application experience. While it's a solid product for basic hydration, those looking for significant brightening results might want to explore other options. Overall, it's a decent choice for anyone seeking a simple, fuss-free addition to their skincare routine.

Despite its rich texture, it's actually a gel that absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling firm. The cooling effect is fantastic - it really helps reduce the heat and inflammation caused by study-related stress. It has an amazing calming effect! At first, you might feel a slight tingling and warmth, but that's just the initial reaction. The more I used it, the more I realized what a great purchase it was! It has a subtle blueberry scent that gently fades after application. There's absolutely no issue with the fragrance!
ConsSometimes when I apply too much, it can pill like dead skin cells. I'm not sure how to handle this issue. Other than that, everything else is fine.

What's more, the volume is absolutely incredible! I love it so much. It's an essence I use with confidence, knowing it's made with clean, high-quality ingredients.
ConsThere's nothing I dislike about it. If I had to nitpick, maybe that it's only available for purchase online?
TipBecause there's so much product, I don't just use it on my face. If I feel like I've gotten a bit of sun, I'll apply it to my hands and body too. It absorbs so well, which I absolutely love.

Now I have combination skin, but back then I had oily skin! It was a gentle and refreshing product that worked well for my blemish-prone, oily skin. The biggest advantage of this product is that it's a low-irritation formula with safe ingredients you can trust! It leaves your skin feeling incredibly fresh. The hydration and cooling sensation when applying are great. It also has a pleasant, subtle berry scent and absorbs extremely quickly! Therefore, I think it's an excellent product for very oily, blemish-prone skin! My boyfriend has oily, acne-prone skin and most skincare products give him pimples, making it hard to choose basic skincare. However, this is the only product that doesn't cause that reaction, so he's been using it for over 2 years! Also, since he has oily skin and doesn't wear makeup, he finds that this product alone is enough to keep his skin from feeling dry (he says even when he applies sunscreen over it, his skin doesn't feel dry).
ConsWhen I used this product, even though my skin was very oily, this alone wasn't enough! For those with dry to oily skin who wear makeup or use matte sunscreens, you might need to finish with an emulsion or cream after letting this absorb! Also, a downside was that when I applied makeup or a sunscreen with base coverage over this product, it would cause dead skin cells to flake off. So for my current combination skin, it's not really a necessary product (I now use a skincare routine of toner-cream or (toner)-essence-cream).
TipThis seems like the perfect product to use in summer! While it doesn't offer much moisturization, it provides great hydration and a cooling effect!

It's perfect for applying lightly before your moisturizer and absorbs well into the skin. I've been using this for years, briefly switched to another essence, but recently came back to this one. Within a few weeks of switching back, I started receiving compliments on how much brighter my skin looked. I can personally feel my complexion becoming more radiant while using this essence! What's even better is that it's not just filled with water - it contains 90% acai berry extract, which I think makes it even more effective.
ConsThere's honestly nothing to dislike, but if I had to nitpick, maybe the hydration? It provides a suitable level of moisture for an essence, but if I'm being really picky, just a touch more hydration would make it absolutely perfect. That said, I'm already extremely satisfied and will likely use this as my holy grail product for life!
TipIt's great for applying lightly in your skincare routine before your moisturizer.

The amount is generous, and it has a refreshing fruity scent. It's as hydrating as a toner, making it easy to use, and for a gel texture, it absorbs well. It has just the right consistency to hold its shape when squeezed.
ConsWhile I didn't experience any blemishes, when applied on areas with a lot of dead skin cells, it pills and flakes off. Also, it stung a bit when applied after exfoliating. I noticed many other reviewers mentioned a tingling sensation during initial use, even without blemishes - I guess this is what they meant. I'll update my review if I find it puts any stress on my skin with continued use.

With consistent use, it seems to make the skin clearer and brighter. Even for sensitive skin, it didn't cause any blemishes. It's a great opportunity to try a product with good ingredients at an affordable price.
ConsIt lacks richness, so using it alone might be a bit challenging. It works well when used in combination with other products.
TipWhile there weren't any dramatic effects, I noticed my complexion brightening with consistent use. If you don't experience any blemishes, I recommend giving it a try for a while!

In summer, I found that applying just this after toner was enough to prevent any deep dryness. It's not too heavy to layer with an emulsion afterwards, which is why I've repurchased it.
ConsSo far, I've been using this without any major blemishes. However, if you have dry skin, you might need to follow up with an emulsion or cream to avoid feeling tight.

It's subtle, but otherwise it's fine. The hydration is good, and I think it's even more soothing than the Tea Tree Essential. The scent is pleasant, and it absorbs exceptionally well. The absorption rate is decent too.
ConsSince it's a brightening product, I'm concerned that using it for too long might not be good.

One of my family members is using it with me, and they haven't experienced any blemishes at all.
ConsThis product might not be suitable for me... I get a lot of blemishes even when I only use this product.
