A lightweight essence that boosts glow, smoothness

I was excited to try this essence and it truly feels like a high quality skincare step. The texture is very lightweight and watery, which makes application easy and pleasant. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any sticky or heavy feeling. After consistent use my skin looks smoother, more balanced, and has a healthy natural glow. I did not experience any breakouts or irritation, and my skin actually feels calmer and more hydrated. It layers well with serums and moisturizers and helps the rest of my skincare absorb better. Over time I noticed my complexion looking clearer and more even. The quality of this product really stands out and it feels like a luxury treatment for the skin.

The only essence that matters

Before trying this I was just curiously exploring the very popular at the time “12 step Korean skincare” regimen and trying to fill in each of the mentioned steps with a product. Essence was not something I’d heard of before and it seemed unnecessary and just an extra step to spend money on. Well, right during this time Sk-II BLEW up as an expensive but luxurious brand everyone had to try and I now understand why. I couldn’t initially justify the price but after I splurged I realized that this brand is worth every penny. This is the only essence that actually provides SIGNIFICANT added benefits to any skincare routine. It’s so thin and almost watery but omg, it makes your skin sooooo soft and supple from the get go of your routine an genuinely amplifies the effects of all your other products. Think of this as the primer (like you use for foundation) but for your skincare routine.

Gentle for any skin types

The only treatment that don’t break me out. Very gentle for any type skins. Quick absorption to the skin. Use it for as least 5 years. Use 2 times a day.

Rolls Royce of Essence

This product as we all know is an investment but I can't tell you how many times I've strayed away from it, and upon returning it back into my routine my skin levels up because of this essence-- now I've committed it into my forever routine because it's proven everytime why it's an HG product for so many people.

Holy grail product

I’ve used countless bottles of this. Been purchasing the big 11 fl oz bottles for years. I’m currently almost done with this bottle. I use the everyday twice a day. Can’t live without it. Absorbs to my skin without leaving any residue. My skin can tell when I skip a day. It doesn’t feel as hydrated.
