SECRETKEY Starting Treatment Essence, Nourishment & Hydration, Wrinkle care, Contained 95% Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate 5.24 fl. Oz. / 155ml, Natural Ingredients, Essence for Sensitive Skin

I put it in a spray bottle and I spray my face right after shower before I put on the cream. It feels wonderful

This is one of my favorite second step in my a.m. and p.m. winter routine. I have tried many $-$$$$ toners and this is one is the best. I always thought of a toner as a stripping agent or an exfoliant but as I have gotten older realized that it's better to keep your skin barrier protected instead of stripped. This is extremely helpful to help keep the skin prepared to be moisturized and protected particularly in the dry months of winter. I have less negative reactions from retinoids since using as part of my routine. It layers perfectly with other serums. Won't live without.

My favorite essence. This was my very first essence and even though I've purchased others that I've liked this is my go to.This is my 3rd purchase of Secret Key.I usually buy the rose edition but thought I would try this formula.I would highly recommend either of the editions of this essense if you haven't tried it yet.

This is really thin like water but my skin seems to feel softer.

Use after cleansing, and toner, this essence sets your skin up for your serums

It’s okay but I can’t really tell a difference since I started using it.

Before, I never really bothered using essences until I was given a small sample of Nature Republic's First Treatment Essence. I love the results after using it for 5 days straight, so I decided it was time for me to get my very first bottle. I wanted to purchase Nature Republic's essence, but the price was too shocking. Not only that, but other popular essences like Hera, SKII, and Missha essences are over the top. Other brands like Etude House and Tony Moly's essences are still expensive for me to purchase, so when I stumbled upon Secret Key... I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about it. I've never heard of this brand before and the pricing for this essence screamed cheap, yet affordable. I kept this product on my wishlist for over a month constantly debating if I should purchase it or not. Eventually, I gave in and bought myself my very first essence.The packaging was really nice to be honest. The glass bottle made it feel like I've spent a lot on this essence too even though the price is really affordable. Like every essence, it's watery but getting the product out is easily controllable. Just be very careful to not slip the bottle out from your hand because it is quite heavy. Unlike the Nature Republic essence, it has a weird smell.. Kinda like nail polish alcohol. It's not very strong tho, but noticeable. On the other hand, Secret Key essence doesn't leave a sticky residue like Nature Republic's essence. Since it's super watery, it absorbs very well on skin and also hydrating. For added moisture and anti aging protection, I use my Olay Regernist Serum, Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel, and Eurcine Sunscreen.I've been using this essence for a week and I can already see a difference. Not only does it provide anti aging properties, but also whitening properties. Last week, I was breaking out so badly due to raging hormones and I had a lot of scarring from previous break outs. Using this essence not only calmed my skin, but my scars are slowly fading too! My skin also feels softer and more vibrant too. I am considering repurchasing this essence. :)

Been using for months now, and really have not seen any significate changes in skin. However it does feel really nice after a face wash, and doesn't leave the face feeling dry afterwards. Has a nice odor as well
