It feels like thermal spring water. There's a unique scent that reminds me of hot springs, which I absolutely love. It's as if the sensation of bathing in thermal waters lingers on your skin. 2. When it touches your skin, there's a soft, velvety feeling that remains for a while. The sensation of smooth, silky skin is simply delightful. 3. While it absorbs, if you give yourself a gentle self-massage, it's amazing how much more alive your skin texture feels.
Cons1. The price is a bit steep. 2. It's currently challenging to take advantage of duty-free opportunities. 3. I wish it came with a pump or dropper for easier application.
TipRemember to shake well before use.

Effectiveness - While I haven't tried an enormous number of essences, this product definitely ranks in my top 3 for effectiveness among all the cosmetics I've used. The change in my skin texture was noticeable the very next day. My complexion became clearer, my skin felt smoother, and my pores appeared more refined. I was truly amazed. 2. Hydration - I loved how it provided deep hydration, not just on the surface but from within. It layers well without feeling heavy, and when paired with a compatible sleeping pack, the results were fantastic. It maintains non-greasy hydration for a long time, so I always woke up with my skin in top condition. 3. Surprisingly generous amount - Despite the glass container not looking particularly large, I was pleasantly surprised by how long the product lasted.
Cons1. Effects don't last long - While the initial benefits were dramatic, the changes I mentioned earlier didn't persist. In my case, the effects lasted about a month, after which my skin gradually returned to its original state. Thinking my skin might have developed a tolerance, I switched to other products for about a month before trying this again, but the results were the same. Currently, I'm using different products. 2. Price - I received this as a gift, so I wasn't aware of the price initially. When I looked it up later, I found it's on the expensive side for essences. If the effects had continued consistently, I would have kept using it, but at this price point, I'm not inclined to repurchase. Still, it might be worth trying once. 3. Packaging - The glass container with a scoop-out design looks luxurious, but it's not very convenient or hygienic. Inevitably, my hands came into contact with the opening, potentially contaminating the product. At one point, I noticed some hard particles in the essence - either from contamination or perhaps the inside of the container chipping. These were hard enough to scratch my face if I hadn't noticed them. Since then, I always check carefully before applying.
TipIn my routine, I find this essence works particularly well after I've done a deep cleanse with cleansing oil to remove sebum, followed by a modeling mask for soothing. I like to use this essence both with the modeling mask and again after removing the mask. It doesn't cause irritation and seems to reinforce the skin's foundation. On days when I'm not looking for any special effects and just want to focus on hydration and calming, I use this essence with a modeling mask.

It feels moisturized as soon as I apply it.
ConsThe scent was a bit too strong for my liking. It's almost like a musty smell...
TipI apply it right after cleansing, like a booster essence.

ConsIt's fine now, but the unique scent might take some getting used to at first.

There's a noticeable softening effect, which is why I decided to purchase the full-size product after trying the sample. It really leaves your skin feeling velvety smooth when you apply it! Since I have oily skin, I don't use a large amount - just enough to maintain hydration before bed.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad yet... Oh, except the price. It's really quite expensive. But I don't feel it's a waste since I can feel my skin improving!
TipFor those with oily skin, I'd recommend using this only in the evening and in small amounts, making sure it's completely absorbed - that's the golden tip. However, if you notice any blemishes appearing, it's always best to stop using any product immediately, regardless of what it is!

It strikes the perfect balance - not too light, not too heavy - truly optimizing the oil and moisture balance. It leaves your skin feeling deeply hydrated from within, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my complexion. I'm writing this review after finishing an entire 75ml bottle!
ConsIf only the price were a bit more affordable... that would make it absolutely perfect.

This product is incredibly hydrating and has really improved my skin texture.
ConsWhile applying, you don't really notice it, but after it's on, there's an unbearable smell.

I've tried so many essences and ampoules to combat dehydration, but this one nails both the feel and the deep hydration. The texture is similar to a runny toner, striking a perfect balance among essences - not too light, not too heavy. It absorbs quickly without any stickiness. If you've found other deep hydrating essences too heavy for summer, this one might work year-round. Not only does it feel great, but it's amazing at resolving deep dryness. Just by switching to this product, I don't feel dry at all until my evening cleanse. With my deep dryness addressed, I've noticed a significant reduction in small blemishes on my cheeks and forehead. Of course, it hasn't helped with my hormonal acne, but that's to be expected. This is the priciest essence I've used so far... but after trying it, I can say it's worth every penny! + June update: It feels a bit rich in summer, making my skin a bit oilier, so I've paused using it. Planning to start again in autumn.
ConsThe price? But considering the generous amount you get, it actually lasts quite a while.

Whenever my skin is in poor condition, I always return to the Biotherm Plankton Essence. When I use this product, my skin texture becomes smoother, and while it feels light, it actually gives my face a glow when applied. Despite feeling like a concentrated essence, it doesn't feel heavy at all when applied before makeup. However, it still manages to lock in deep hydration. After using this product, my blemishes have significantly improved, and most importantly, my complexion has become clearer, which I love!
ConsI must admit, that peculiar scent is a bit off-putting. Until now, when choosing skincare products, fragrance has been the most important factor for me, so I've generally selected and preferred unscented products. But with this product, the scent is honestly a bit of a hurdle. And then there's the price. It's not exactly budget-friendly, so it's not really a product I can settle on using regularly, unfortunately.

It's a must-have that I can't give up because it deeply hydrates, absorbs instantly, and soothes my skin. Texture: It's a water-like essence. I use it as a toner substitute, patting it in for quick absorption. Just applying it makes my skin feel more refined. Since using this product, my complexion has become much clearer! While there might be other factors, this is my observation after emptying 5-6 jumbo-sized bottles. I have sensitive skin that sometimes gets inexplicably red and irritated due to allergies. Since using this product, my sensitive skin feels much calmer, and I haven't experienced any flare-ups.
ConsThe price! Because it has a watery consistency, it gets used up quite quickly. I used to stock up on it at duty-free shops, but since the pandemic hit and I can't access duty-free, buying it domestically really makes me feel the higher price. Still, I just can't give it up!
