With this product, I first patch tested on my neck and hands to check for any tingling sensation. Thankfully, when I applied it to my face, it didn't cause any blemishes. True to its name 'Glow Boost Essence', it's incredibly hydrating and gives an amazing glow after application. I'd recommend this to anyone dealing with deep dryness and uneven skin tone.
ConsThe texture is quite sticky, almost like glue! The scent is a fresh orange citrus, which might be hit or miss for some, but I found it refreshing (though it doesn't linger long).
TipDue to its sticky texture, it's a bit much to use as a final step. It works better applied in the middle of your routine, like during the serum stage, then followed up with a cream or another product to reduce the stickiness and improve absorption. I mostly use it at night, but since it contains vitamin C, if you use it during the day, make sure to finish with sunscreen.

Once applied, there's a slight tackiness, almost as if an ultra-thin film has formed. Of course, it's not actually creating a film, it just feels that way. Absorption: It absorbs well without sitting on top of the skin. After a short while, the initial tackiness disappears, and it feels like it naturally becomes part of your skin, making it comfortable to use. Hydration & Longevity: While it provides decent hydration on its own, I found it works much better when used with my regular emulsion or cream for longer-lasting moisture. This combination definitely extended the hydration effect. Ingredients & Skin Reaction: I have somewhat sensitive skin, but I've never experienced any breakouts or blemishes after using this. I previously had issues with other vitamin C products causing slight redness, which made me avoid them altogether. Surprisingly, I could use this product without any such concerns. Skin Effects: While I didn't notice any dramatic changes in a short time, I felt my skin becoming slightly more refined. With consistent use, I expect it might bring out a clearer complexion. Conclusion: Overall, it was satisfactory, and I was particularly pleased that even sensitive skin could use it without any issues.
ConsScent: Personally, the scent reminded me of a cheap fruit air freshener. However, the fragrance isn't overpowering and naturally fades after a short while. If you're very sensitive to scents like me, you might find it a bit bothersome at first.
