Age: late twenties
Skin: combination
I've been using the essence for the past two weeks and I really like it. The consistency is more gel-like, but quite light and not too runny. Works perfectly after cleansing and toning, but does not give enough hydration on its own, so you really need a moisturiser after it. Many reviews say it's terribly sticky, but this is not a problem at all! Yes, it does get sticky, but the stickiness goes away really quickly. Also, the essence goes really well together with my vitamin C serum , but again, I need one more hydrating layer after it. I really recommend the essence for extra hydration and skin plumping!
