Very hydrating, and absorbs immediately!!
I've used a couple of COSRX essences and they're all very hydrating and absorb well. I love this product and use it twice a day. This product works and I will buy again!

Proceed with caution
I used this for a few weeks without any issue, and without warning, it caused a massive breakout of tiny bumps that were itchy and wouldn't go away with the usual acne treatments.

Might be a holy grail product
Ive been using this in the am for about 3 weeks and i can already see a difference in tone and clarity. It makes me not want to put on makeup, since i dont want to hide my glowing skin! The texture is fantastic as well, it soaks into skin in a matter of seconds and is almost like a water gel.
Great product for glowing skin!
I bought this about 3 months ago after some review of products aimed at combatting dullness and adding radiance to my skin. I started using it 2x /day, faithfully, but kind of forgot why I was using it. Then about 2 weeks ago I noticed that I was wearing less and less makeup, (no foundation at all) because my skin was looking so good I didn't want to cover it up. I started to realize that I was glowing, and it must be the GFF since its the only thing I've changed! Never giving this up!!!!
Not For Me
Like a couple of other comments have said, this product was added into my routine and I started getting tiny pimples EVERYWHERE. I never break out so I stopped using this and within two days my skin already started cleaning up. I think this just REALLY depends on whether or not your skin type needs this or can handle it.
