No surprise, this is another product famous for being the dupe of the SKII treatment facial essence.

Directions: 
Smooth an appropriate amount over cleansed face. Wet cotton pad with essence and pat to allow formula to fully absorb into skin.

Size: 80ml and 150ml
Price: 80ml= 22,000 KRW
           150ml= 35,000 KRW

The texture of this essence is really viscous, is even more viscous than the SK II treatment facial essence, but I honestly prefer this over the SK-II because it is odorless unlike the SK-II which actually smells like some kind of stinky water, actually SK-II treatment essence smells similar fancl products at first than after oxidization it turns kind of smelly (And also this is much cheaper than SK II haha).

 When first apply on to the face, it does feel sticky but as you let the product sink into your skin the sticky residue goes away. I find it interesting and enjoyable to use, because as I am  patting this product around my face to let it sink in, the thick viscosity of the product causes it to create a stringy effect, similar to when you use snail products :D

The product does do what it claims, after finishing using the 80ml product for over 2 months, I see a significant results, and my skin is less bumpy and dull looking. A lot of my friends have complimented as to how healthy my skin looks, so I must say this is my holy grail product :D

However the only downside of this product is that, I cannot use this product on consecutive days as it causes me to have breakouts, so I only used this product for a maximum of 3 times a week. And also, I won’t use this product during summer season (in humid places e.g. Hong Kong), unless I am under an air condition environment overnight, because as I have stated this product can be sticky when you first apply onto your face. Other than that I enjoy using this product :D

This summer they have launched a new version which is specially made for summer, it is the soybean energy essence light version, personally I haven't tried it yet, so I couldn't give you guys a review on it.

I love the packaging, it looks kinda luxurious because the bottle looks like glass but in fact is only plastic, so is not heavy and less prone to breaking :D

Will I repurchase this product?
Yes I would, perhaps I should say I just got myself a 150ml version of this product. (To be honest there is a such a big difference in size, comparing the size of the two bottles is so shocking haha)

Overall rating:

Texture 5/5
Smell 5/5
