Ingredients Side-by-side
Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Arginine is an amino acid that is important for human development. Your body uses is it to produce hair keratin and skin collagen.

I heard some reviews that this product might be better than the Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner, and had better brightening effects, however personally I think I have fairly sensitive skin and the ferment ingredient in this product was too strong and caused me to get closed comedones almost immediately which resulted in a cystic acne breakout for me. I did notice better brightening effects in various areas of my face but unfortunately this product just didn't work for me.

i got the small size from this essence as a sample not too long ago (probably 2 weeks) and have used it up tonight and can give an actual opinion on it. i'm liking this essence very much!! it's my first rovectin product and i'm positively suprised of this magical product. with a thicker viscosity and not really water like consistence, it felt super hydrating. my skin was really dewy and looked really good under makeup and layered well with my toners, serums and other skincare products. there was so greasy or oily residue or layer on my skin and didn't freak my skin out. i dunno if i'm just gaslighting myself into thinking this, but it helped with evening my skin texture and post pimple marks which had me shocked in a way. overall, i can say that this product is amazing and good for any skintype and skin concern to hydrate it well. i will try to get my hands on this once i see it being on sale or being sold for a good price!! i would give this product 4.4 out of 5 stars
