In my skincare routine I rarely include the ‘essence’ step. I did use them long time ago from the famous #SKII First Time Essence to #Missha Time Revolution FTE Intensive Moist. Many beauty enthusiasts said Missha is a dupe of SK-II, so I gave it a try. Long story short, after a long vacuum of using essence then I got a chance to try 𝘓’𝘖𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘊𝘳𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘪𝘤𝘳𝘰 𝘌𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦* @lorealindonesia @getthelookid. Actually, i've been using them since end of last year, so it's -umm yeaa- pretty an overdue review. Woops ⁣🤭⁣So, i added this into my skincare routine and use them every morning and night right after cleansing and cleansing toner (PM). It has watery consistency and gets absorb very quickly. Besides, it's also lightweight and no tacky feeling eventhough I apply 2 layers on my skin. ⁣⁣This essence is formulated with salicylic acid as the active ingredient which work deeper into layer of skin that helps to refine pores as well as smoothen the skin texture. The other star ingredient is centella asiatica which have soothing and healing properties for irritated or inflamed skin. It also contains alcohol (they didn't mention type of the alcohol) which listed on the first line and benzyl alcohol on the bottom lines.⁣⁣I think all the Essences I've tried have the same packaging, in dove clear glass botttle, just like this one. I was surpised and a bit bothered at first with their strong scent, but then i get used it.⁣⁣After few weeks of use, I feel my skin more radiant and smooth. It also accelerates in fading blemishes and helps me on healing acne when i have some. What i don't feel as the result from their claim is the hydration, eventhough i already use 2 layers. ⁣⁣Do you use essence in your skincare routine? Share me what is your favorite essence, so it can be as my reference for the next.⁣⁣*𝘗𝘙/𝘎𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘥⁣𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.⁣⁣ #lorealparisindonesia #cathyangreview #clozetteid
