Why we like it
The formulation is mostly active ingredients and not fillers. It contains a high percentage of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate – a known effective ingredient for brightening, clarifying, building resilience, and moisturising.
It is similar in composition to SKII’s pitera miracle water and Missha’s Time Revolution First Treatment Essence and has been hailed as a more affordable alternative for the two skin must haves.
This essence is most effective for Wrinkle care and brightening. In addition it also hydrates, clearing skin, firming, soothing and controlling oil production.
It is suitable for all skin types. Sensitive skins can try is because it does not contain: parabens, animal oil, dye/colourants, mineral oil, alcohol, benzophenon.

Just received this a couple of days ago, and I am already obsessed! My skin feels so hydrated and I look forward to applying this each morning and evening. Its a bit too soon to state for the other benefits but can’t wait to see results within a month or so.

Love the glass bottle. There is no scent, very hydrating. My sensitive skin loves it and soaks it up. No reaction. Skin is brighter and love how well it absorbs into the skin. Exceeded expectations. Love it.

Love this product. My skin loves this product. Absorbs well, skin is left hydrating and glowing. Complexion has improved and redness on my cheeks has gone. Great for my dry sensitive skin. Has a slight and pleasant scent. An underrated product.
