@keana1 the acwell has been in my to try list for awhile! I love how they use licorice root - let us know how it goes! 

[quspork]

Great picks, @keana1! Have you used the Acwell before? I'm curious to hear how you like it. 

[keana1]

Thanks @quspork @meou ! I’ve been using the mist once in a while for about 2 months now and I love it! The main reason why I use both now is to maintain an optimal pH for my skin so that the serums I use can penetrate better. As far as the licorice root is concerned, I enjoy it’s brightening effects and since I was an idiot and didn’t start using sunscreen until 2013, my freckles are completely gone and I don’t have dark spots anymore since I’ve been using VitC and other skincare products that contain licorice root extract. I don’t use the toner as a cleanser since I double cleanse every evening but I enjoy it’s pH balancing effect and the benefits of LR extract and the other ingredients it contains. I hope this helps both of you! 💕

[quspork]

That's great to hear, @keana1. I do really like licorice root as an ingredient so this product has been on my radar for a while, just haven't gotten around to trying it yet!

@keana1 I am waiting on my Missha Essence, it should be here sometime next week (I ordered July 18th, the anticipation has definitely had time to build😂). We need to compare notes!!!!

The When made it to Costco up by you??? Awesome!!! 🤞🏼 that means they will be back on their way to the US soon. Nice picks, enjoy!!!

[keana1]

We definitely should compare notes @eshoe ! I hope that the When masks are available soon, do you know if they have different assorted ones in the US or if they change them once in a while? It’s the first time I’ve ordered from Costco. I wish you the best of luck! Sending hugs your way! 🤗

[eshoe]

@keana1 I have ordered from Costco online frequently, and have never had an issue with expiration/inferior products. The When multipacks offered here were different, but were all variations of the biocellulose. I’ve been waiting for them to carry them again, because I am down to a box and a half (maybe 12 masks?). Even though they have alcohol listed high up, I have never experienced ill effects as a result. These are my favorite biocell masks!

My Missha should be here tomorrow or Tuesday. I ordered direct from them, which I’ve never done, and wow-the wait😂 can’t wait to share results with you!!

[keana1]

Sweet @eshoe ! I haven’t opened my MIssha essence, I’m waiting for yours to arrive so that we can start using it at the same time. Tag me or send me a message when you start using it! Can’t wait to try it! 💕

[eshoe]

Ok @keana1 I received mine and tried it tonight! Waiting for your thoughts, I have a couple so far;)

[keana1]

I went to bed early so I haven’t tried it yet @eshoe . I’ll start using the essence today, can’t wait! 

[eshoe]

@keana1 well I’ve used it day and night now for the past two days. I like how it is thicker than toner, but not as syrupy as some other essences. My skin has appeared plump, but tired. Now I just happened to decide to read the ingredients and I could kick myself. On the box it states: “Non-added Formula” with a list full of things I try not to put on my skin🤦🏻‍♀️ I went to the web site and they aren’t listed on the ingredient list there, so I understand the ‘non-added formula’ must mean that those ingredients are not in this bottle. Ha! Was just thinking what a waste of money. Sigh. Thank goodness:)

[keana1]

I can imagine seeing your eyes open wide and your jaw drop when you read the ingredients that aren’t included in the essence @eshoe ! 😳😱😮 I just assumed that it was a poor translation from Korean to English. I wouldn’t have purchased it if it contained these ingredients ( I also avoid them ). I’m loving it so far but it’s too early to notice anything yet. All I can say is I enjoy it’s watery consistency, it absorbs in an instant and smells great ( I was a bit worried about the smell before using it ). No complaints so far! Why do you say that your skin looks tired ? Is it because you’re tired or the essence makes your skin look tired? I’m physically tired but I wish that my brain had a pause button ⏸ ( sometimes only ) 💗

[eshoe]

Oh I haven’t noticed a scent, @keana1 - I am going to have to pay closer attention this morning. Usually I can pick up on at least something😆

I’ve noticed darker under eyes, where this has never been an issue for me. I’m not doing much to address it in terms of covering it up, nor am I attending to them by masking/using anything to de puff. Besides that, I noticed the other my skin just looked kind of ‘flat’ in the AM. Dull might be a better word. Again, though-I’m not doing anything to specifically care for it, which I should probably do!

Looking forward to hearing more about your essence thoughts over time 🙂
