Hydrating and inexpensive!

This is a really nice, easy step in a skincare routine. It is so hydrating! My partner even started using it, to hydrate the skin under his beard. It has a slightly thicker texture than most toners that makes it easy to work with, but it does require a minute or two to dry down before you move onto your next step. I haven't noticed a big brightening effect but I appreciate it for when I need some light hydration.

Pros
  • Love the way my skin feels
Cons
  • Unsuitable for oily or acne-prone skin

Cool and hydrating good for me

This product feels silky and cool as you apply it on a clean dry face. It helps moisturize my skin and I apply it before my serum and moisutuzer. The bottle lasts a long time and is reasonably priced. I love it.

Pros
  • Great moisturizer. Especially for sensitive skin
Cons
  • Contains fragrance which may irritate sensitive skin

Amazinggggg: my feedback

I. Freaking. Love. This.I received an essence in my ipsy bag and the description was "the skin care step you never knew you needed". Yeah, okay ipsy🙄.I tried it and to my surprise, I immediately fell in love and went looking for an affordable essence before I ran out of the ipsy sample.I LOVE ALL ELF PRODUCTS but have never tried any of their skincare before this. The packaging feels very high-end. The essence itself is super nice - lightly moisturizing and a very light but refreshing scent. I

Pros
  • Very hydrating. Has a slight sticky consistency. a little goes a long way.
Cons
  • There is lots of it, but this didn't do anything for me at all and did not seem like anythign special.

Very Hydrating: my feedback

It's super hydrating, i like to use it right after i wash my face, no drying off. It looks the hydration in exceptionally well. It does have a light fragrance to it though, so if that's an issue for you, I'd avoid it otherwise get it. I love the viscosity of it.

Pros
  • light weight exquisite and effective
Cons
  • May interfere with the effectiveness of other skincare products

Cons
  • Leaves a sticky residue

Awesome, amazing product👌

OK, so I've been wanting this elf product forever and I finally got the opportunity to get out and get it.To be honest with you it was the best decision I ever made in my life. Not only does it leave my skin refresh and clean but the smell alone will make me want to use it constantly. I highly recommend hydration water because it does what it set out to do. Again. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Pros
  • Love it make my skin look fresh and it glow
Cons
  • Has a strong chemical scent

Sip Sippy Sup for your skin

Just buy it. Bought this on a whim from the clearance bin. It lasted forever and I used it everyday and after shower before makeup or anytime I felt I needed moisture. It was always the first thing on. It felt like my skin absorbed it and really changed the texture to my face. It just got my skin ready to take on the next layer of my skin regimen. It’s a drink of water for your skin and I don’t mean it metaphorically but literally. I guess thats why they called it ‘essense of water’. makeup or…

Pros
  • Elf products are awesome
Cons
  • Contains alcohol which can be drying to the skin

Great for moisture, not sure if best for oily skin

So moisturizing, but I do have oily skin and it seems to leave my skin with a slight sheen at the end of the day. Maybe good for combo and great for dry skin.

Pros
  • Love the smell. A little goes a long way.
Cons
  • The box this was in was already opened and damaged. but love this product. Works great

It has some viscosity and not sticky at all.

This is the first time I am using it. So far what I was looking for. I have dry and sensitive skin in Winter and normal and sensitive in Summer. It makes me feel helping thicker serum spread better as well as keeping my skin hydrated right after towel-drying my face in Winter time. I am looking forward to see how it will make me feel in Summer, compared to Winter.

Pros
  • Good toner for my dry skin
Cons
  • Does not absorb into the skin quickly enough

Ugh. I really wanted to like it.I did.

I realllllly wanted to love this.but it tore my skin up. I have been working so hard to build up my skin, and I heard about using essence as apart of the Korean face care system. Before I added this product, my skin was literally thriving. I used this product probably twice, MAYBE three times. But my face started feeling dry and miserable. I even started getting these little bumps that I hadn’t had before. I definitely know it is because of this product. My skins simply did not like it. However

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • May not provide enough moisture for harsh winter climates

Perfect for restoring hydration

I love using this to restore moisture to my face after using a harsher anti acne product. It’s perfect because it restore moisture but doesn’t make you oily at all. I use it before my serum and moisturizer.

Pros
  • I love it. It goes on so soft and really hydrated my skin.
Cons
  • No entregado

Dry skin? USE THIS!

I LOVE the smell of this! It’s so clean and fresh.I suffer from sever psoriasis and I use this daily and it’s helped keep me soft and smooth. I use it as a moisturizer before I put make up on, it’s a great base for foundation and the rest.I highly recommend!

Pros
  • moisturizer
Cons
  • May not provide enough hydration for extremely dry skin

Horrible reaction on my review.

Idk what it was in this product that did not agree with my skin. It broke out horribly. As soon as I removed it from my regimen. It was like night and day. I really wanted this to work because of the price point but it didn't. I also only add one new item at a time to my regimen. Trying to work up to 10 steps. So I'll keep searching for an essence that works for me.

Pros
  • e.l.f. Cosmetics
Cons
  • Can cause skin irritation and redness

Burning, itching and sticky

I have relatively sensitive skin, and when I began using this product it was not too bad. It started to sud like soap when I put it on my hands, and it left my face sticky. I did put it under and around my eyes (it didn’t indicate that I shouldn’t) and now my eyes are swollen and burning. I love elf but this product didn’t agree with me

Pros
  • Cheap but effective. Good for all skin types. Hydrating.
Cons
  • Not suitable for those with allergies to certain ingredients

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect consistency and very freshening.

Very good hydrating toner. Not watery at all. Keeps my face feeling fresh, hydrated and plump. So surprised that it's that good at that price.

Pros
  • I have used only for a few days but love that actually hydrates! always find toners to dry my skin
Cons
  • Would not recommend this at all

A little chemically and harsh

Doesn’t seem like it would be, but it’s a little harsh. Leaves my face red and a little splotchy. I can’t tell if it’s working or not.

Pros
  • Light and hydrating!
Cons
  • Expensive compared to similar products on the market

Excellent value - my new review

This is a nice addition to my normal moisturizer. I started following some Instagram influencers who specialize in skincare and I got carried away. Too many new products in a short time. My skin is typically oily but I messed up my moisture barrier. My skin was uncharacteristically dry and sensitive. So I cut out almost every thing and focused on moisture. This helped to calm my skin and nurse it back to health. It's soothing upon application. It feels really nice on. I feel like my skin…

Pros
  • Infused with moisturizing effects of purified water, coconut water, algae, and coffee.
Cons
  • Can feel heavy and uncomfortable on the skin

Why is it foaming? Am I missing something?

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong? With so many rave reviews I expected to love this product. It’s scented pretty heavily, fragrance doesn’t really bug me so I don’t care but it’s definitely not a scent I have to have. It’s decently light but I don’t feel like it does anything for me. The thing I actually hate about this is that it foams on me, I have tried everything, clean dry skin, clean wet skin, skin cleaned with water only, rubbing in, patting in, nothing works it foams every time.I don’t

Pros
  • Love it! this is my second time buying this its so refreshing and nice
Cons
  • I haven’t seen any change. I would give it zero star🙄It’s not worth it. Warning all DON’T BUY IT

Better than my Tatcha essence!

I must say that this cheap drugstore brand essence is better than my high end Tatcha! No joke I use this a lot. Not as much as my favorite Korean essences, but it's great quality for the price.

Pros
  • 609332570467
Cons
  • Contains questionable ingredients that may not be safe for long-term use
