I was looking for a product focused on improving elasticity, and I noticed a difference between nights when I applied it and nights when I didn't. The hydration lasted until the next morning, which I found to be a huge plus! It seems to create a better base for makeup when applied beforehand. The ingredients are also gentle on the skin.
ConsI'm not quite sure about the elasticity benefits yet. I'd like to use it for a longer period to see more results.

That was a big plus. I loved how it absorbed completely overnight without feeling like it was sitting on top of my skin when I woke up. The stick format makes it easy to swipe on, and it's perfect for touch-ups throughout the day, especially for those who go foundation-free or don't wear makeup. While it's not overly rich, it's not completely oil-free either. So if you have deep dryness or very dry skin, applying this stick after hydrating your skin can help lock in moisture, preventing that tight, dry feeling throughout the day. I have atopic dermatitis, and even when I apply emulsion, my neck area tends to dry out quickly. But when I used this stick over the emulsion, it seemed to keep the moisture in for quite a while (though it's not incredibly hydrating on its own). It's ideal for sealing in moisture rather than providing hydration. If you dislike the greasy feel of sunscreen sticks, you might really enjoy this. My mom, who usually needs to mist her face after lunch due to dehydration, said she didn't feel that tightness on days she used this stick under her makeup. Also, as someone with super sensitive skin that easily gets red, itchy, and tingly with even slightly irritating products, I didn't experience any of those issues, so it seems to be truly gentle on the skin!
ConsAs mentioned earlier, it's really just for locking in moisture. To be honest, I can't tell if it's actually good for wrinkles or firmness. As for the glow, you need to apply it multiple times and then put on cushion foundation to see any effect, but then it can look quite shiny. If you want a glow with just one application, it's only possible when you're not wearing makeup. You might want to skip this step when you're in a hurry. If you try to apply it quickly like you would with other skincare steps, it tends to pill.
TipFor those who want a slight glow when wearing makeup, I recommend applying your moisturizer first, letting it absorb completely, and then applying this essence stick! Otherwise, it can cause your cream to pill and potentially make your makeup look cakey.

Thank you so much. My skin is in its mid-30s, sensitive and combination dehydrated. I've moved past the extremely oily phase of my 20s to a more balanced oil production, but I still feel a bit of dryness after cleansing. I used to have frequent blemishes, but now I only get major breakouts when I'm very tired or during the peak of summer. - Application: As it's a stick format, it glides on smoothly like a lip balm. The purple stick peeks out and applies gently to the face. Being solid, it's not super creamy, but has that characteristic softness of a stick product. - Absorption: It's not a greasy formula, so it absorbs well after a few gentle pats. - Scent: There's a light scent reminiscent of strawberry or berry bubblegum. It's not overpowering, which I personally enjoy. - Moisturizing: It's supposed to provide a glow and specialize in wrinkle reduction, so my expectations were high. However, the effects weren't as dramatic as I'd hoped, especially for my eye wrinkles. Even though I don't have dry skin, I found myself reapplying 2-3 times. It absorbs quickly, but the lasting hydration wasn't as impressive, leaving my skin feeling dry soon after. - Recommended Skin Type: This would work well for oily or combination dehydrated skin types in summer who want to avoid excess shine. For dry skin types, even with multiple applications, it might not be enough - it could leave the skin feeling parched.
ConsWhile results may vary by skin type, I was disappointed not to see significant improvement in wrinkles. It might be okay if used frequently throughout the day, but with my routine of applying once before work and once after evening cleansing, it fell short in providing adequate hydration.
TipIf you're part of the oily skin club and looking for a lightweight anti-wrinkle stick for summer that won't feel sticky, I'd recommend this. My top tip would be to reapply multiple times throughout the day for best results.

You can easily carry it around and apply it whenever you need. • Despite being a stick, it's not too soft but firm, which makes for good application. • The fragrance is pleasantly subtle, not overpowering at all.
Cons• As it's a firming and glow product, it offers absolutely no hydration. It's extremely rich in oils, so I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types. • The firm stick format can be a bit limiting when trying to apply it all over the face. • I feel the price is a bit high compared to its actual effectiveness. However, this could be because I've only used it for two weeks. I'll update my opinion if it changes later!

Glow: Applied as the final step in skincare before makeup, it beautifully enhances the skin's natural glow. Scent: The subtle, natural fragrance is pleasant and uplifting during application.
ConsAs I haven't used it for an extended period, I can't comment on its anti-aging effects. It seems like consistent use over time would be necessary to see results.

It's especially amazing when applied over retinol or vitamin C serums - it keeps your skin from drying out better than any moisturizer! Other stick essences felt like I was slathering Vaseline on my face due to their high oil content, but this product is great for deep dryness and much less greasy. I'm 100% going to repurchase.
ConsI've only been using it for two weeks, so I haven't noticed a significant improvement in skin elasticity yet. However, I'm sure it contains beneficial ingredients for firmness, so I plan to continue using it.
TipFor those using products with active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, or glycolic acid, I highly recommend applying this stick essence on top. It helps soothe any tingling sensation and prevents skin from drying out.

I swipe it on my forehead when going out and wearing a mask. Before bed, I apply it to my forehead, nasolabial folds, and neck lines.
ConsI'm not sure about the supposedly amazing lifting effects or wrinkle improvement claims. The scent isn't to my taste.

Although it didn't suit me, I'm revising my review because my mom says it's moisturizing, has a nice scent, and seems effective! #Fragrance While it has a cosmetic scent, it's pleasantly subtle #Firmness It doesn't melt excessively in summer like some products The solid texture makes it convenient to use #Portability, Convenience Being a stick format, it's great for quick application on-the-go
Cons#Effectiveness Haven't used it long enough to notice any wrinkle improvement #Excessive shine? Oiliness? Feels slippery after application... Was shocked by how much came off on an oil blotting sheet Stopped using it because I got some blemishes on my forehead Won't repurchase I'll have to give it to my mom...

Cons1) Unexpectedly sticky, attracting hair, dust, and other particles 2) Feels a bit uncomfortable to use outdoors on days with high air pollution 3) Lacks that firm, bouncy feeling after application 4) Disappointing absence of brightening ingredients, especially for use around the eyes 5) Crucially, it doesn't deliver the dramatic effects promised in the product description After a week of use, it's too early to draw final conclusions. But if asked whether I'd spend my own money on this? Well, I'm not quite ready to say yes...

The standout feature is the product's emphasis on luminosity and radiance. It imparts a subtle, not overdone glow that's just right. I think it would be comfortable to wear in any season except the height of summer. Also, while stick products often attract dust and debris, this one stays clean, allowing you to use it hygienically right to the end.
ConsWhile the luminosity and radiance are strengths, I'm not so sure about its effectiveness on firmness and wrinkles. It might be because I've only been using it for two weeks, but I can't really tell any difference in those areas yet.
TipI've found that applying this product as a base layer just before using a matte foundation results in less dryness and reduced skin tightness. It works hard to keep your skin feeling comfortable!
