However, there's one small issue...
ConsWhile it's moisturizing, it tends to run and makes my skin itchy. It also causes little bumps to appear all over.

It's an eco-friendly brand with vegan certification, so you can use it with confidence. I've been using it without any blemishes.
ConsIt's as thin as a toner, so it tends to drip when applying. I tried a sample first.
TipGently pat it into your skin to help it absorb. Your complexion will feel smooth when you're done.

Heavy products make my skin feel suffocated and can lead to breakouts in the long run. I'm not a fan of sticky textures and love a fresh, almost powdery finish. My go-to routine involves a light water-based toner, layering essences or serums, and finishing with a lightweight hydrating ampoule. This product applies incredibly lightly on the skin. While it feels slightly sticky right after application, it absorbs quickly, leaving a soft, matte finish. It has a watery consistency that flows easily when dispensed, making it perfect for multiple layers without feeling heavy. After using this product for about a week, I noticed an improvement in my skin's oil-moisture balance. Even my oily T-zone and dry U-zone felt more balanced, with just the right amount of hydration.
ConsThe watery texture, combined with the lack of a pump or dropper, made it tricky to dispense the right amount at first. I ended up wasting product until I got used to it. While it might work well with a cotton pad, for those who prefer to apply directly, a different type of dispenser would have been more convenient. Although I've only been using it for about a week, so it's not definitive, I've noticed some small bumps appearing all over my face. I've been using this in place of my usual ampoule, keeping the rest of my routine the same. While it hasn't caused inflammatory acne, these tiny blemishes are a concern. I'll continue to use the product and provide an updated review on this issue later.
TipMorning routine: After toner, apply 1-2 layers all over the face. Then, cup your hands and fill them with the essence, focusing on the dry U-zone for 1-2 more applications. Finish with sunscreen. Evening routine: Similar to the morning, but with more emphasis on hydration. Apply 2-3 layers after toner, then finish with a moisturizing cream.

I used it both as an exfoliating toner and for layering, and its hydrating formula worked great either way - it's like a light emulsion when layered! I felt I could use it alone without my face feeling tight, no need for a separate emulsion. The texture is very fluid, just like a toner. I prefer using lighter products first in my skincare routine, as sticky essences can hinder absorption of subsequent steps, so this product was perfect for me as a first-step toner/essence in my routine of toner-serum-emulsion, going from light and fresh to richer and more occlusive. It didn't cause any blemishes, and actually helped reduce redness on my sensitive skin during seasonal changes, so I've been using it frequently lately. The scent reminds me of cypress water, which makes it so pleasant to use before bed or in the morning! The eco-friendly bottle design is absolutely gorgeous - I want to keep it on my vanity to take photos. The packaging color suits the brand well, and I really love the weighty glass bottle design.
ConsThe opening is like a toner bottle, so it tends to spill and leak if you try to dispense it into your hand instead of using a cotton pad. While I appreciated the eco-friendly paper packaging, there was a plastic part at the bottom that was very difficult to separate. To be more true to the brand image, they should either switch to fully paper packaging or minimize packaging altogether. As you can see in the photos, it doesn't provide an intense hydrating effect or create a dewy glow on the skin. However, I actually preferred this lighter, fresher feel!
TipI recommend this as a summer skincare option for those with combination dehydrated or oily skin types looking to cool down and replenish moisture!
