However, it’s not very hydrating on its own, and the watery consistency causes it to run down the face, requiring more product and leading to a quickly emptied bottle.

This lightweight essence is infused solely with Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, an ingredient that brightens, firms, and reduces the appearance of dark spots and fine lines. Its ultra-fluid texture absorbs quickly into the skin without feeling greasy or sticky, making it ideal for layering with more hydrating products. While we didn’t love it initially, it grew on us over time. Affordable and simple, it’s worth considering, though we still prefer the Centella Asiatica essence from this brand.
