I love Korean beauty and skincare. As an indian with a darker neck and chin area, I found this product a bit disappointing. Been using it for about 6 months, there's a very small difference. It might be more effective on lighter skin tones with reddening issues.
Product definitely was very moisturizing, however it was very sticky and felt almost soapy upon application. I felt that it didn't really do anything more then moisturize, not a terrible product, but not amazing either.
I think this is great essence for those on a budget. I've had the bottle for about 6 months and I'm almost halfway done with it. To say the least, it lasts a pretty long time. It has helped me reduce my extremely stubborn acne scars.
