Although an essence is not a compulsory step in the skincare routine, I enjoy using them from time to time. Here are some of my favourites.

It is clinically proven to improve tone, texture, and moisture within 14 days of use. And I have to say this is my second bottle. I like to use it more during cold days as it provides dense moisture to the skin. Es super hidratante Fortalece la barrera cutanea

🫧 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐳𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐨.3 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 Highlights: • Contains Niacinamide, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, and 50 fermented extracts. • Has a refreshing scent of lemon. • Clinically tested and proven to improve radiance by 52.89%. Features: • Claims to assist in improving skin tone and texture. • Gives a nice radiant finish. • Fragrance-free, Alcohol-free and Non-comedogenic. Effects or Benefits: • Deeply hydrates locks in moisture, and balances the skin • Gives the skin a smooth and plump effect. Texture and Packaging: • The essence toner has a fairly thick consistency yet absorbs nicely onto the skin. On the other hand, the packaging of this product is in a plastic bottle and soft enough to gently squeeze, making dispensing convenient and easy to do so. How to use: • It is definitely a hydrating moisturizer and I like to double-layer it after warming it up in the palm of my hands. It leaves a smooth, glowing finish and my skin feels soft, hydrated, and plump. Thoughts and Impressions: Upon using this essence toner, I noticed an improvement in my skin as it became softer and more radiant. If you are looking to add some ferments to your routine, this is an amazing option! On the other hand, in terms of the scent of the product, I am not a big fan of its strong citrusy fragrance. The ingredients list of this essence toner is very impressive and I find it to be unique.

This particular essence contains TWO ingredients that has been patented by @brtc_skincare: ✨Fermentox (95.3%): A complex ingredient containing yeast extract from fermented brow rice, green tea, and taraxacum platycarpum helps to enhance skin's elasticity and leaves skin vitalized and healthy. ✨Blue Phyto Complex: BRTC's proprietary ingredient containing ECOCERT-certified lavender water. It alleviates skin stress, dryness, itchiness, and softens rough skin. I love this product especially for it's soothing effect( it contains GREEN TEA LEAF EXTRAXT 🌿) my skin feels nice and plump, I noticed improvement in hydration and my face looks radiant after applying this product. The scent is extremely faint so I would even recommend this to those who are sensitive to smells. 🧖I use it twice a day by puoring it directly into my palms and then applying on the face. I think it's the best way because you don't waste cotton pads and all healthful ingredients go straight on your face. ✓ sooths the skin ✓ has hydrating effect ✓ absorbs very quickly and doesn't leave any sticky layer ✓ VERY efficient ✓ glass packaging Overall I reccomend this product to everyone, no matter what type of skin you have! Essence is a little treat to boost your skincare routine 😉

CKD Guaranteed is a wonderful brand. I'm really enjoying using their products. Their products main ingredients are collagen and retinal. The essence and the ampoule are great. Main actives in their products: Collagen (55%): hydrates and moisturizes, reduces lines and wrinkles, plumps and firms the skin for a youthful appearance. Retinal (0,1%): vitamin A form that is directly converted on the skin to retinoic acid for effective wrinkle reduction. Hyaluronic Acid: hydrates and moisturizes the skin. Elastin: hydrated, plump and smoothens the skin texture. Squalane: moisturizes and softens the skin, smoothes its texture. Cholesterol: protects and moisturizes the skin surface. Aspartic Acid: an amino acid that will help with the build up of collagen. Peptides: regenerates skin cells and promotes collagen production.

Oily/Resilient

This product is one of liah yoo's holy grail toner/essence, and I'm really eager to try this product but it is so pricey here in ph but thank God there's one seller in an online shopping sell the sample size of this product for 170+ pesos so I bought two 50ml. 🌾 Highlight Ingredient: - 93% Lotus seed extract (but in a reformulation I think it is not 93%) - 2% niacinamide 🌾 Texture/scent: - the texture of this is slightly viscous like most of essence. - the smell of this is like a faint flower scent. 🌾 My experience: The moment that I try this product I said "ok, nothing special" it feels like a normal toner to me. But as I use it for straight week I see how it hydrates my skin, it slightly brightens my complexion, in that point I already knew why this product is a holy grail for some. And I even more appreciate it when I try to use other products and it really irritates my skin the next day, and when I apply this essence on my irritated skin it immediately calms my skin, as in the moment that this essence touch my skin, ughhh I feel relieved. And as I continuously using it, it strengthen my skin barrier, giving me a healthy looking skin but sadly, the sample size where I bought this, is not available😭. 🌾Final thoughts: I have nothing bad to say to this product, because it is sooooo good! I really enjoyed using this product. It also suits to all skin types. And I want to repurchase it, as soon as I have extra money, well, this product is too pricey for a poor like me. Hahah. 🌾 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

I wanted a more cost effective product versus the Sk 2 and Tachta products that I loved so I discovered this. I love the texture of this product and the price is excellent. It makes my face just glow.
