So slimy and soothing! Very moisturizing! I can literally feel its going deep into the pores bc its liquid
i wanted to try this to soothe my acne but this just broke me out. so i think it’s safe to say my skin doesn’t like mung bean !! hopefully my skin likes the centella asiatica essence more 🥹

IT'S EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH THE MONEY!!!!
I'm the kind of person who is willing to go all out and drop some money for good skincare if I know I will use up every drop and love it.

Peach Slices have a similar texture while Show more
good product, but i don’t notice a difference between this and the much cheaper COSRX option.
