I got this to see if it would be a dup for my Missha First Treatment Essence which in itself is a dupe for the SKII essence as they both have the fermented glactomyces that this has. It works similar to it but is not the same. The Missha onoe is more watery and so is a grwat first step after toner and before layering on products, it's like your skin really eats it up. This has a bit of a more thicker texture and you can feel it on your skin afterwards as it takes a lot longer to fully absorb compared to the missha, which can be an issue when layering products as you want them to really absorb before going to the next so your face doesnt feel to heavy and weighed down.

However I do like this and the ingredients list is better. I think the missha is better for daytime but this one is great for night time because it is thicker and you have a bit more time and arent worried about a heavy face under makeup. Also this is a lot cheaper. Ill probably repurchase this and use it ontop of my Missha one in the night time as another layer/step
