I went back for this product because I noticed how my skin was WITHOUT it.
I know the price is super high, but I think this is an essential investment. I have been struggling with acne for years now and recently have been concerned with aging/dull skin on top of that (which sucks). My skin type is sensitive combination, and my acne is usually hormonal. I bought this summer of 2018 and finished the bottle nearing the end of 2018, so I think it does last you awhile. I didn't see dramatic changes to my acne while using this product, but it really does an excellent job moisturizing and brightening your overall tone, as well as making your skin very soft. Your foundation will apply much better after using this product. HOWEVER, this product is supposed to be part of a larger regimen (i.e., my routine is toner -> this essence -> moisturizer at the basic level). But this doesn't mean it takes away from the overall effectiveness of the product. This is my second bottle now and I recently bought this again because I noticed my skin becoming dull/dry/uneven again after I finished the first bottle and didn't repurchase right away. Conclusion: price is hefty but your skin will definitely thank you!
