My last essence was nice but I wanted to try something different so I ordered the Real Barrier Essence mist. It had a reasonable price so I was tempted to try it out and I wasn't disappointed. It's moisturizing and refreshing for drier skin but at the same time it's not suffocating at all. So I like to use it during the day when my skin feels a little dry. It comes in handy when I'm traveling or at work, I just keep it on my desk and use it once or twice a day.
