Beautiful Essence
I brought this essence after having such a good experience with the cleansing balm. I’m very impressed. I’ve only used this product a week and I’ve already noticed my breakouts have calmed down, my skin feels and looks healthier, brighter and the texture has improved. It’s definitely on the more expensive side but I would highly recommend it. I have now purchased the face wash. Very impressed with this brand. The ingredients in this are insane!

Lovely
This is so nice. It's very hydrating but feels very different from hyaluronic acid based hydrating products - not sticky at all. I use it right after cleansing and it sinks right in without leaving the skin feeling tight. It's a 5/5 for me, but I wouldn't pay full price.

Better than most
This is amazing! In 3 days my skin brighter and has a healthy glow. It seems to make my products absorb better too.

A Must To Try in 2021!
Coming from a heavily influenced mind by James Welsh and his whole approach towards skincare, I ended up with this essence in my basket and now, more than a month later, I regret nothing! What made a very good impression to me was the ingredients list, offering unique mix of ellagic acid, polyglutamic acid, ferments, antioxidants…I mean, you just have everything you need for a brighter, strong and healthy skin. The essence is formulated so well that you adapt to it instantly, so gentle, so sophisticated, doesn't irritate, not scented at all and the texture allows you to apply it with your hands and just feel it absorb so perfectly. This is definitely “THE” extra mile you can go with your skincare. I’m already considering other products from the brand, too, because their vision, mission and social presence is mind blowing, honestly, they are doing their best in being present, being engaged with their community and simply leaving a trace in the skincare industry!

Amazing essence
I've been using essences for as long as I can remember in my skincare routine so when I bought this I was very excited but didn't think I would see a huge difference. Was I wrong. After 2 weeks of continuous use, I've noticed my skin is more nourished and hydrated and it also layers very well with my other skincare products. The bottle is also lovely and the ingredients list is superb with a lot of ingredients that aren't mainstream. Love TIMY as a brand and love everything they produce!

Pleasantly surprised
I bought this alongside the Cleansing Balm(which is great) and I didn’t expect it to be as good as it is. It really does brighten the skin giving it a glossy dewy radiance - I’ve noticed a difference since using it. Worth a try!

Phenomenal!
This has been life-changing in my mere 3 days of using it! My skin is no longer oily/greasy and my other products absorb so much better after using this. I don't know whether it's the niacinamide or the ridiculous amount of other incredible ingredients, but this product has me hooked and will definitely remain a staple in my routine.
