I bought this about 2 weeks ago and am back for a second bottle (my first is about half empty). The essence is nice and it has pleasant smell. It leaves no residue, no stickiness, nothing at all. Makeup glides on with no weird reaction. I use different foundations day-to-day, depending on the weather, what I have to do that day and so on, and I haven’t had any problems with any of them when used over this essence. To me, this is evidence that it has actually soaked in to my skin, and isn’t sitting on top at all. I have acne prone skin and this did not irritate my skin at all. I use it right up to my eyes, on my eyelids, and it’s never bothered me in the least. Does it make me look younger? I don’t know, maybe. I can tell you that I don’t need to use a primer under my makeup with this. I think it’s plumping my skin just enough to shut my pores. If you only use it on your face, your bottle will probably last you longer than mine is lasting me, because I use it on my neck too! REBECCA LIM 32, Ipoh, Perak – November 8, 2016
