Bioessence - shafatc review for 24k Bio Gold Water

When I tried this product for the first time, I was actually a little confused about whether it was a toner, serum or an essence, because the packaging only says "gold water". I noticed that the consistency is too thick to be used as a toner and some people consider this gold water to be an essence, so I use it after toner and before moisturizer. ✨ Price : Rp 110.000 for 30 ml ✨ Packaging : packed in a 30 ml transparent glass bottle and a gold-colored lid that makes this product looks luxurious. As the name implies, the box is also dominated by gold color. It's not travel friendly because the bottle is made of glass. I'm afraid that it will break if we carry it around for traveling lol. Btw the hole to get the contents out is reaaaally smol, so sometimes the gold extract can't come out through that hole. ✨ Texture : As I mentioned above, the texture of this gold water is thick and has gold extract. Even though it's thick, but it's very easy to absorb. So we don't need to wait long to get to the next skincare step. If I look at the ingredients, they have fragrance, but so far there is no strange or unpleasant smell. In fact, there tends to be no smell at all. Maybe because the fragrance level is low(?) idk ✨ Claims : brighten skin, reduce the appearance of pores, maintain skin elasticity, anti aging, moisturize skin, fresh skin. ✨ Personal experience: At first, it didn't really affect my skin. But when I use it regularly and half a bottle already runs out, it makes my dull dry skin look healthier & glowing, even though at that time I only used my usual basic skincare + this gold water. So far, the claim of this product which had no effect on me is only the brightening claim. Overall nothing bad from this product. I love it. Just... the price is not friendly for a mere student like me 😭 But if i have money, imma repurchase it considering that it gives long-term effects, such as anti-aging.
