This review is after using it for almost a year. I've used it because originally i wanted the SKII essence but read about and researched a lot about it and found this to be a good dupe, especially considering the ingredients. I pour a bit on my palm, put my hands together and pat it on my face and repeat until I feel Ive evenly got it on my face. I use it every morning after toning and at night on days I'm not using vitamin C

My skin after using this has become so much better. It's smoother, more hydrated, less oily, and less pigmented. Mind you I did use Vitamin C on days I didnt use this (make sure you don't use this and vit C together because the ingredints cancel out). I feel like this attributed more to make my face smooth that less pigmented but overall my face is brighter. Honestly, I can't remember the last time my face was this smooth.

It will take some months to start seeing drastic results so hang in there but I honestly can't see this not being part of my routine anytime soon.
