First time trying an essence and I was really amazed by this.  Sinks into the skin really quickly, so you don't have to wait long to move on to your next skin care step.  After a little while of using it, I'm already noticing differences, my skin is softer, smoother and dewier.  Don't expect this to get rid of acne, you'll need more targeted products for that, although I did notice a clearer skin during less hormonal times of the month!
