Love this essence!
I haven't ordered this product from Ulta, but I purchased it from elsewhere, but I highly recommend this essence. Please note, because this essence not formulated like a moisturizer, unless it's very humid or hot or you have normally hydrated skin, this will NOT be a replacement for your moisturize...

This is a Staple in My Routine!
I love the silkiness of this essence. After cleansing, I use a toner, then a peptide serum, then this and a hyaluronic serum, and then moisturizer/SPF. At 43, my skin has NEVER been this great. Plus, it's not expensive which is a HUGE plus!
Buy, buy, buy!!
My little sister recommeneded this to me, and I've been hooked ever since! Feels SOOOO good on your skin, and it's gotten to the point where I feel naked without it!
Would buy again
Have added this to my skin care routine. It will last a long time. Feels very good on my dry, very very mature skin!
