The shea butter content adds a rich feel. Its lightweight texture absorbs well and spreads easily.
ConsThere's a subtle herbal and floral scent, but it's not particularly pleasant though not overpowering. While the website recommends it for oily skin, I wouldn't suggest it due to the shea butter content which can make skin look shiny.
TipLayering 2-3 times builds up hydration beautifully! I recommend this for dry or very dry skin types lacking both oil and moisture balance, especially those needing deep hydration.

As someone with dry skin who typically applies multiple products, I found that using just this followed by toner and moisturizer was perfect.
ConsI've been using this product since it first came out. Initially, the price was quite steep, and even though it's come down significantly, it still feels a bit on the expensive side.

The generous amount means it'll last a long time!
ConsAs someone with oily but dehydrated skin, using this alone wasn't quite enough. So I apply it twice after letting it absorb thoroughly.

With a good mix of hydration and richness, it's an excellent product for your basic skincare routine. The texture is light and absorbs well. It's perfect as a base for those with dry skin. Even on super sensitive skin, it didn't cause any blemishes.
ConsThe price is a bit on the higher side, which is slightly disappointing. While it's great for winter use, it might feel a bit heavy for summer.
TipIt's ideal as a base product in winter. You can achieve a complete basic skincare routine by applying just this essence without toner, and finishing with a cream.

It also seems to help control slight dryness, so my makeup doesn't look as cakey when I use it before applying.
ConsThe finish could be polarizing - it has a slightly oily feel to it. While that might work well for dry skin types, it may not be ideal for those with oily complexions.

ConsApart from the price, there's really nothing else to complain about!! If the price is reasonable, I'd recommend trying it out for dry skin
TipIt's great to mix with a watery toner and use as a mist!

It provides a refreshing moisture boost and a subtle nourishing effect, leaving the skin feeling lightweight yet hydrated for an extended period. Applying it on the back of the hand reveals a luminous, nourishing and moisturizing effect. When used as the first step in the skincare routine, it visibly nourishes the skin, making it appear healthier and effectively locking in moisture. For those who prefer an even more hydrating experience, you can layer on multiple applications as the formula is well-absorbed by the skin. The good ingredients and generous volume are great, though the short expiration date is a bit disappointing. Lately, I've been quickly applying it after toner in the morning, and sometimes using it for an essence mask in the evening. This definitely helps resolve any tightness or dryness. The nourishing yet non-sticky texture, and the ability to hydrate sensitive skin without irritation, have been very satisfying. This is a nourishing first essence that absorbs completely with no heaviness or stickiness. The moisture and nourishment start off strong and continue to deeply penetrate the skin over time. If you want the hydration to last even longer, you can add an extra layer after using a mask. While the 6-month expiration date is a bit of a letdown, it's understandable given the gentle ingredients. I have a lot of current products, so switching right away would be wasteful, but I'll definitely repurchase the Bonajour Golden Time Essence once I've used up my other essences and ampoules - it's been a very satisfactory product for me.
ConsThe 6-month usage period is the main downside. However, considering the high-quality ingredients, it's a trade-off I'm willing to accept. I'd recommend purchasing it during a sale period to get the best value.
TipFor even deeper hydration, I suggest layering the essence. Using a cotton pad to generously apply it as an essence mask works great.

Although I haven't used it for long, it absorbs well.
ConsWhen using this alone, it can be a bit dry, and you'll need to apply a lot of oil or cream.
TipWith oil~ In the photo, I only applied the essence~~^^
