This essence is pretty straightforward and for someone who does not have many skin problems, the effects of this aren't that noticeable. However, this is very hydrating and I feel like my skin is a little more plump now. I have noticed a slight difference in my under eye creases and my under eye area in general is now very soft all day.

One pump is usually enough for my entire face. The texture is slippery (not necessarily slimy in my opinion) and it glides onto my skin quickly without any excessive tugging or rubbing. It takes a few minutes to absorb after patting it into my skin and, in the meantime, my skin feels a little sticky. For someone with oily skin, sometimes I feel like I can get away with wearing only the CosRX 96 and no moisturizer. I'll definitely continue to use this and, so far, I think I'll repurchase it.
