It gives a nice hydrating boost but I didn't see much difference, so I'm still stuck with the first bottle after 4 months.
It stings sometimes so I wouldn't repurchase it again.
🎀Update: I gave this product another chance to see if it works since the ingredients were too good, so I used it as a toner for 15 days and I loved it.
Not only did it hydrate my skin, but it brightened my old acne marks and face in general.
But it was my mistake using it with the Anua toner as it burnt with it.
sorry for judging too early 😭 and I think I would repurchase it.

love this!!! <3 i got this about a year ago and it helped my skin a lot, it’s so hydrating for me and gives me a nice glow without being oily. it also has great ingredients! i have very oily + blemished skin but also sensitive and can get dry patches and this never breaks me out. i stopped using this after a while and tried other things but have gone back to this as it’s the best for my skin. it reduces sensitivity and helps brighten my dark spots from old spots and helps heal new ones :)

My new HOLY GRAIL
I have super sensitive, reactive, combo skin. This makes finding products that don't irritate me a real challenge. This essence is amazing. No harsh ingredients, no fragrance (my biggest irritant!!), just a super refreshing, cooling, and soothing product. The directions say to use after cleanser and toner; however, I use this in place of toner and layer it with my moisturizer. This is a new staple in my routine and I will be repurchasing!
