This stuff is truly incredible, it makes such a difference in my routine. It is single handedly what keeps the cystic zit I usually get during my period at bay. It’s super good for oily skin and under makeup. It deserves way more hype than it gets. I wish they made it in a travel size though!
I guess I am on perimenopause at 39 and my skin is becoming dry, acneic on my chin and with dark spots. This essence has been a wonderful addition to my routine, my skin looks moisturized, supple and dewy. It pairs well with other products and ingredients. Will continue to buy.
I enjoy the product and love how it looks on my skin. The results are nice, but since similar options can be found at a more affordable price. If you can splurge great if not there are definitely alternatives. 
I’ve been using this for a few weeks now and skin looks so bright, even, glowy, less splotchy, less porous, and just generally more youthful. I’m 29 and have been dealing with my skin looking dull, tired, and inflamed, which really accentuates pores. Now I’m starting to feel like I have my skin back, and am confident going makeup-free again!
I've been using the Giving Essence for more than two years as a morning must-have. It's refreshing, hydrating, and full of protective antioxidants. I've noticed brighter, more even, juicy skin over time and immediately after application. The texture has a little body, so it doesn't immediately run off my face, which gives me time to pat it in. There is incentive to leave this review, but I have also raved about it where I originally purchased the Giving Essence without an incentive.
I can't go without this essence. Very hydrating and has helped my skin look less dull. I've noticed a difference in my pores and it's gentle enough when dealing with eczema. If nothing else I always make sure to have this product in stock.
I love this essence!! It's incredibly hydrating and lightweight, absorbing quickly into my skin without feeling sticky. It layers beautifully with other skincare products and I love having this essence at the start of my routine. Would highly recommend!
This essence feels like a drink of water for my skin! It absorbs quickly and makes my skin feel so plump and refreshed. I love the fermented ingredients and how it gives my skin a radiant glow over time. Definitely a staple in my routine!
i absolutely love the texture of this essence and it’s so hydrating for my skin. it also doesn’t irritate and has kept my skin even toned! i use this every day and wouldn’t go a day without it!
