   I decant this into a spray can and use it twice a day . I have combi skin and this does not add moisture but makes my skin look less red and even as I have a lot of red marks from past acne that show up if I skip sk2. I have used sk2 for years and this is not exactly a dupe, as sk2 gives me overnight wonders in terms of calming my skin and making the complexion bright and clear but this is a very close substitute. No irritation, not acne causing, less drying than sk2 and effects are slower but the same as sk2, at a way cheaper price . Loving it as it is almost water like, rather than gel like ( which is known to cause me irritation) and is so much cheaper

   Sometimes you don’t know what’s good until it’s gone.

   Though this one didn’t have a moisturizing/hydrating feel to it when you apply it to your skin, it definitely gave me a fresh & ready-to-prep feeling on my skin. It feels just like plain water and is unscented. I use this product both day and night to prep my skin. $64 w/ facial cotton included.

   Method:
   I applied this product in two different ways – as suggested using the facial cottons included with purchase to wipe on my face and by dispensing into my clean bare hands and patting it onto my face. The only difference I noticed was the product absorption time. With the bare hands method, it takes longer for the product to absorb into the skin. However, with the facial cotton method, I felt like I was wasting product by letting a cotton pad absorb the product.

   Packaging:
   It was hard for me to part with the frosted glass bottle. I was trying to think of possible ways for me to re-use it, but alas…I had to just toss it in the bin. I’ve dropped this heavy bottle before on a hard stone floor and it didn’t crack. Definitely could bruise someone on their head with it if they pissed you off.

   Overall, my skin has gotten brighter while I used this product, but can’t say the brightening is the result of just this one product. However, once I stopped using the product for a few months was when I noticed a difference. I see that my dark spots are more visible and I feel my skin overall is dull again. Until I try a few other first care essences, this may be the one I go back to if all else fails.

   I really want to love this it did help with my combination dehydrated skin especially my super dry cheeks and flaky patches. The con was it does contain Nicotinamide a form of niacinamide that can cause dilated blood vessels, flushing and redness. I thought that with a different form of niacinamide it would not do that but this did cause redness. I already have redness from acne scars, broken blood vessels and get redness easily this made it look worse. After I stop using it a couple days later the flushing dilated redness went away. I would purchase it again if it did not contain nicotinamide.

   Got this so called ” Korea Miracle Water” = Korea’s SK 2 equivalent for KRW60000 during my korea trip.

   The SA was selling this product saying its a cheaper alternative to SK2 ( definitely).

   It promises a brighter and smoother skin to be applied after toner and before moisturizer. I do like it that product does not have a super strong scent unlike SK2 which I really think it stinks.

   Much cheaper compared to SK2. I do think product does work in brightening up my skin.

   Packaging wise. Its quite heavy as its a glass bottle. I would prefer products to be in plastic to save weight when bring back home.

   Overall would buy again .
