I’ve been meaning to review this product because of all the many things I put on my face before I go to sleep, this is my favorite!

Where to buy: online sellers
This is my second step when it comes to skin care before I go to bed at night. Essence are similar to toners specially when it comes to consistency. From what I have read, essence makes it easier for the skin to absorb the other stuff like cream.
It contains GALACTOMYCES, which is known to brighten and clarify, increase resilience, help balance skin condition, and moisturize the skin.

I love galactomyces ahahaha!
Secret Key is my most favorite Korean brand. Why? Because their products are amazing while not being too expensive at the same time. So far, I’ve already tried their cushion (the first cushion I’ve ever owned!), gel eyeliners, creams, and now, this essence. Secret Key never failed to impress me.
This Starting Treatment Essence is a dupe of SKII’s and Missha’s Time Revolution Essence. Among the 3, this is the cheapest. As for the effect, I’ve already tried SK-II and Missha Time Revolution (I bought some trial packs from friends who bought the full bottles). And guess what? I did not notice any difference with the effects at all! Seriously! I was thinking that maybe I’d see at least some immediate effects with SK-II since it’s almost 20x more expensive, but there’s none!
Whenever I have skin trouble, I just soak a cotton pad with this essence and leave it on my skin for a couple of minutes. The effect may not be immediate, but I can feel deep within that my skin is being healed. You can even try putting it inside the fridge before using it so it’s cold and it will help you shrink your pores.
Look!! I need a new bottle soon!
By the way, that small puddle is what you need for the entire face
But if you want to use more, it’s ok too! Up to you! Hehehe!
I think if I were to have a tag line, it will be “you don’t have to spend a lot to be beautiful”. In this case, you don’t have to spent thousands for SKII or Missha Time Revolution if you could buy Secret Key’s Starting Treatment Essence 🙂
