Soothing Face Moisturizer Essence Serum 5.07 Fl Oz | Dry Sensitive Skin | No Greasiness, Natural, Moisturizing | Facial Toner Serum with Ceramide | Korean Skincare Skin Care | K Beauty

This is my favorite thing that I put on my face. I ordered it when I started a 10-step Korean beauty routine (which has already been INCREDIBLE). To be clear, this is an extremely subtle product. When I first started using it, I was like, "Is this even doing anything?? Am I basically just putting water on my face?" The ingredient list is liquid gold so I wanted it to be amazing but I wasn't sure. Here's the thing - THIS product alone isn't going to massively transform your skin. It doesn't have any "actives" in it that are going to radically reduce your wrinkles or make your acne go away or magically even out your skin tone. What it does have is a ton of skin FOOD, and I didn't fully appreciate it until about 2 weeks after I started using it when I introduced Matrixyl, Retinol, and Vitamin C to my skin. Cue absolute skin freakout. I was using them as directed but I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin and it got to the point where my skin was absurdly painful and ANYTHING that touched it - any moisturizer, any serum, even my tears one night when I cried LOL - made my skin BURN... except this. This and only this felt like cool silk on my skin and gave me incredible relief, even though its purpose isn't even relieving irritation. My skin is adjusting to the rest of the products in my routine and is less irritated now (most days) but even on a great skin day, this essence feels amazing. The fact that it has important ingredients like niacinamide, licorice root extract, etc and still behaves like a relief mask is so impressive to me.Some tips:1. You need way less than you think you do. I started out just slathering it on and feeling annoyed and frustrated when it was sticky and tacky, especially with my other serums layered on top of it. I now only use about a pea sized amount and my skin literally just drinks it until there's no residue whatsoever but my skin is left really bright and happy.2. Pat it in. This is in combination with the tip above. Patting it makes the smaller amount go farther and makes your skin absorb it faster so you can move onto the next step in your routine without your face still being sticky from this one. I put the product in the palm of one hand and dip my fingertips in it from the other hand, then use those fingers to pat it in in 4 zones: cheek from ear to nose, other cheek from ear to nose, chin to upper lip, and forehead/temples/top of nose.3. Use it as an essence. The name of the product suggests it could be a toner, essence, or serum, but it really can't. The reason differentiating between these is important is because in a routine, you want to apply the thinnest (usually water-based) products first and the thickest last, because a thin product can't penetrate a thicker product to reach your skin. This essence is VERY vaguely like a super watery gel, but it's still too viscous to be a toner, which basically has the texture of water. It's too thin to be a serum and also doesn't behave like a serum; it isn't an intense fixer product, it's just like the product that enhances all of the other products.My skin is still transitioning right now and not that nice so I'm gonna hold out on posting pictures but if I remember I'll come back and update the review. It's definitely brighter, healthier, and WAY more moisturized with this in my routine, and it is the only product out of the 18 in my routine right now that I absolutely do not ever skip.A couple of side notes: I don't know why people were mentioning a scent. It is TOTALLY unscented. There is like an almost smell to it, but it isn't a fragrance - it's fresh the way cucumber smells fresh (but it doesn't smell like cucumber) and it's almost nonexistent. My nose, like literally everything else, is painfully sensitive and this barely makes my radar. Second, the bottle is nice because it's a heavy frosted glass and looks pretty on my counter, but it's a little annoying to get the product out because you can't squeeze - you just kind of have to shake it quickly 1-2 times and it drops out into your hand.I'm constantly looking for new versions of my products to replace old ones and try out new things; this is the only one that I probably won't EVER consider changing. I'm in love.

Use like a toner for my sensitive combination skin. It works well to balance & calm my skin . Quality product I like it .

I bought this a month ago, and have been using it regularly to review the results. I’d been considering purchasing SKII, which I believe this product has been compared to, but I wanted something lighter in price. First of all, the seller sent some wonderful samples of other products, which I LOVED, as well as some important information. The texture is watery yet thick, but very nourishing to my skin. I love how it makes my skin feel and look. I have combination/oily skin, and it has not caused any issues. It lasts all day, and my skin feels incredibly hydrated and supported. I will absolutely repurchase this item again!

I follow creditHINK on Instagram & I love the products they post,this was one so I decided to come to their Amazon store. I was surprised it even came with a box of the best beauty pads. But the essence has the best ingredients. Especially for aging & dry skin. I love that they explain they are not promising immediate results but you will find results with consistency in applying the essence on a regular daily use. Which I absolutely have, my skin is moisturized,hydrated glowing- I'm finding that the other skincare products in my skincare regimen are working better because this essence is prepping my skin properly for my next products. It does have a scent but it is light, I like scented products. I also have the Jin Jung Sung Serum which is also incredible. I am really into korean skincare & beauty care and have tried many brands also have been gifted many products by companies to review & post on my Instagram,I can honestly say this essence/toner by ENS Jin Jung Sung is right up there at the top. I love the way it absorbs & there is no problem with seperation with makeup or other products I have used over it. Great Product & Great Brand. I love that Jin Jung Sung means Sincerity!

I like a lot, not sure if it’s Love. I do love the ingredient list, beautiful stuff—I think my perception has been a little hijacked by two other things; a company with initials HL that really does the plumping thing to the skin, and Essence by an influencer G, which is just fantastic (but expensive for me). JJS is not sticky, as advertised, which the others ARE, and nor does it plump my skin quite as much. Also it does not sink in as fast as I’d like. I got it because I wanted something to kind of fake the G Essence, but that could get me further for the $$$, so I got this and Beauty of Joseon ginseng toner and do several “skins” of each day and night. My skin is definitely nice and good, and the products do seem to be of quality. The drawbacks are that JJS takes a long time to sink in, each layering, and spreads really far because of that. It slows my skincare routine down considerably. This is probably linked to the non-stickiness, and it does feel like it sinks in more completely than the stickier ones, but it is slow. I will probably purchase another bottle, it’s worth it.
