The 2 sachets I owned is from a trial kit I bought some time back. Clear in colour, it has a serum-like texure and is slightly sticky. If applied with a heavy hand, it can be tacky on the skin and takes while to sink into the skin.

Yet another product which I brought along for my Greece trip, I use this essence just before its Collagen-Gel moisturizer and feels that it helps the moisturizer to penetrate into my skin better.

The 50ml product retails for $96.
