A lightly hydrating essence.

This essence has a lightweight gel cream look that just melts into the skin. It is lightly hydrating on its own but I feel that it helps absorb my serum and moisturizer even better leaving me with plump, healthy looking skin. Like all other products from the water bank line I have tried I find it has a light, fresh, clean smell but it dissipates quickly. I am very pleased with this product and I will definitely buy it again.

I picked this serum up due to the price point at Sephora. I was a little hestitant at first, because I know it's a Korean based product and often times I find Korean skincare not hydrating enough for my particular skin type. Immediately I fell in love with this product. It gave me just the right amount of hydration and my skin appeared to be more plump. After a few days use, I noticed my foundation applying much smoother than normal. I only use this serum during the day time as it does have silicone In it and I don't really see the need for silicone in my nightly routine.

Something I did notice is the price when up drastically. I first purchased this serum when it came out at 28 dollars. The second time I repurchased it, it was at 40. Now I have purchased it a couple days ago and it's 46...geesze! The price point of the serum was originally was drew me in, if it gets any more expensive I probably won't be repurchasing it.

I got to try a sample of this and I thought I put too much of it on as it is called a serum and not a moisturizer. It was very moisturizing on its own. I did wait a little while so that it would soak in and then did add a light cream to follow up. Again I didn't think of it as a moisturizer because of the word serum. Definitely is good hydration.

I have an oily tzone and super dry, red cheeks and am always searching for newer and better moisturiser. I had been eyeing this for quite a while and knew I had to have it, but it's $46CAD so I kept putting it off. Well let me tell you this was sooo worth it! It's so moisturising and hydrating. My skin feels supple and smooth. My primer, concealer, foundation, etc. goes on like a breeze! I use this after I wash my face at night, and also when I'm getting ready in the morning and I've noticed a huge difference in such a short time. A must have for dry skin!

I think if I brought this item from Korea, then the price would be way cheaper. The product is really good!!! And that's pretty much true for all of the lines in Laneige skin care, but the big factor is price and where I can buy it. I don't like the fact that I would need to buy it online to get it cheaper, in Sephora, it's available but wayyyyy more expensive than sold in Korea!

I think this is a great product. Currently I use this as my night serum in the winter. It is so incredibly moisturizing. It's light weight which is why it surprised me in hour hydrating it is. The good thing is, is that it's not heavy on the face or sticky either. It absorbs quite quickly. I like the scent, it's floral and not too overwhelming. Honestly it goes away after prolonged use. But if you're sensitive to scents it can be bothersome. Overall a great product and I will definitely repurchase once I run out.

Very refreshing and moisturizing. Feels light and hydrated afterwards. Nice light fragrance.
