I am in my 20s and I don't like the complicating multiple steps of skincare.
What I like about this essence is that it's very light and it's cream formulation makes it easy for me to apply just this one product after a toner.
I don't like the sticky factor in a lot of hydrating heavy texture creams so when I use other "light" formulation skincare products, it's too dry and makes my makeup application dry.
But this product is perfect for me because it's light, very absorbent and hydrates my skin enough to be able to apply my makeup and still feel very moisturizing.
It's a bonus for me that this contains ingredients for my pores too! Because I am constantly in battle with my pores.
