Important: this product can trigger allergies in people who are allergic to certain types of house dust mites. If you don't know whether you have that allergy, it is recommended to do a patch test (e.g. on the inner part of your elbow, or on your wrist) and leave for 24-48 hours to make sure your skin is ok with this product. (To be honest, patch testing is a good idea before using any new product for the first time, especially ones containing actives!)
Generally a nice product but doesn't live up to the overhype that this product has earned on social media. The purported "glass skin" effect shown in many videos is actually when you first apply the product on soaking wet skin, before it dries. It does dry nicely though, it absorbs well and doesn't leave a horrid sticky feeling. Tip, best results if you put it on wet skin. Either splash your face with a bit of water before and after, or use a spray, i like to use a few sprays of melvita rose water before applying and then another couple of sprays after. The product helps retain moisture in the skin.

Excellent product! I have very poor wound healing on my face, which means that open pimples sometimes don't heal for weeks. I have been using this product for about 7 days now and I am thrilled. I see a clear improvement and my skin feels very good. I use it as a second step in my routine (toner, cosrx, moisturiser, retinol, cream). I think it's absolutely worth the price!

I found no disadvantages, of course it does not work miracles, plus I think it is very good value for money. I recommend it

The consistency kind of reminds you of spit (it's sticky). The substance itself is thick/viscous, but once it hits your face, it immediately absorbs in and is so lightweight.
I feel like this step is not mandatory in your skincare routine (optional), but I think this essence step actually helps you achieve the glass skin look (opinions probably vary).
So I wouldn't say it is a must buy product for your skin care since it isn't cheap either, but if you want to try it out, would recommend.
