I am first introduced to this detoxifying essence while I was in Seoul buying my first batch Laneige products..As I am not sure if their skincare is suitable for me and I do not wish to buy so many at one shot, I have given this essence a miss then..
After months of using those skincare from them, I know that their products are suitable for my skin and that makes me regret even more for not getting this detoxifying essence in Seoul cause SG did not carry this product yet!!
But luckily one of my gal frenz happen to be going to Seoul last month and she is very nice to agree to get it for me despite her tight schedule there.. I got hold of this product about a month back and has been using it ever since..
This is how the packaging of the essence looks like..
and this is the texture of the essence..
According to the salesperson who introduced me this product, she said that this essence helps us to detox and revitalise our skin from the harmful toxin which is the main reason why our skin still looks dull and tired even though we have a good night rest and failed to see any results despite using those brightening and expensive skincare..
That is the reason why I am so adamant in getting this essence cause I can totally relate to what was mentioned above!!
The texture is similar to the Water Bank Essence but a little more watery.. Like those Laneige products I have, absorption is fast and it has a pretty refreshing scent.. This is the first product to use after toning your face..
During the first week of usage, there are slight breakout ( 2-3 pimples) on my forehead and chin area.. I think this is the detoxifying effect of the essence to purge out the toxin inside as I did not change my skincare regime during that period.. Things started to get get better as I continue to use the essence..
Right now, I am in my 4th week of using the essence and I can feel that my skin is slightly brighter and glowy ( it is not as dull as before). I am attributing my slightly glowy skin to the use of the essence as I mentioned nothing has changed apart from the additional of this product.
I will continue to use this product and monitor my skin condition as it goes. Will update you guys again.
UPDATES:
I have been using the booster for close to 2 months and I still have around 2/3 bottle left. My skin radiance & condition remains the same after my last review. It could be due to my late sleeping habits and diet these days but I think I will not be purchasing this product after I finish this bottle.
Pros:
- Easily absorbed into the skin
- Nicely scented
- Great Packaging (Can see the amount left inside)
- Watery, light texture
- Slight dewy, radiance after 1 mth of usage
- Not pricey ( Cost $40 in Seoul )
Cons:
- Slight breakout during first week
- Cannot get in SG
