  • Doesn't clog up pores 


Con

Rating 

I would recommend this product to someone with dry skin who is looking for extra hydration and moisture. 

However, I do not recommend this for someone who is looking for a product to help with acne and the fading of dark spots and pigmentation. 

I will be giving this essence 2/5 stars as it doesn't have any effect on my skin except the only benefit of it being more supple and soft whenever I use it.
