Things you might not like
- Has more viscous consistency compared to other essences – Some reviewers describe the product as slimy.
- Possible side effects – It might cause redness when applied to very damaged skin (e.g., wounds).
- Inefficient bottle design – A few users mentioned that it should have a pump for easier use. Meanwhile, some commented that the bottle is heavy and bulky, which is not ideal as a travel companion.
Recommendations
- It works best layered. Users advise applying the essence a layer at a time with intervals of a minute or two.
