I am going to be honest with you guys, I lost/ threw away the box that this product came in so I can't really comment on the packaging of the box. And I have been using this product for at least 7-8 months so I can't recall how the box looks like. But talking about the bottle of the product, it is not like the etude malgem one where it is plastic that got moulded to look like glass. This product actually got put into a glass bottle, I was totally surprise by that, oh it makes me feel like I am using a luxury product XD.

This product has a thick watery consistency, is probably similar to the consistency of serums.  Once again it sinks into your skin pretty fast (but not as fast as products i have previously mentioned) , it might feel slightly sticky (the stickiness it gives is different to the innisfree green tea pure skin) when first applying it,  but it is actually perfectly fine after you let the essence settles. As always etude house product have really nice scent to their product, this time the product have a citrus like scent to it, I actually quite enjoyed it when using it :D

after leaving it for approx 1-2 minutes

After applying it onto the face it definitely hydrate and moisturises my skin, I didn't get any breakouts from using this product and my pore actually minimised after using this product, maybe it's because it increased the production of my collagen or perhaps is because it penetrates into the deep layers of my skin keeping it dewy and healthy, therefore my pores have reduce in size! This product definitely brighten up your face, because my face use to be kinda dull, but now it looks more glowy.

I will definitely repurchase this product and I recommend all of you to buy this product. This product does fabulous job !!! There is not a single thing I dislike about this product. This is definitely one of my "holy grail" products!
