Most Helpful Positive Review My holy grail :-) I love this! My skin is consistently more hydrated and soft since I've started using this. I combine it with an HA-based moisturizer and my skin is so happy. I got it as a 1 oz. sample-sized bottle in an Ulta Beauty Picks bag and I really loved it. My only issue is with the price point, I am afraid I'll run out of it too quickly simply because of how much I use it (twice a day, maybe six "drops" each time). I put "watery/slick" in the cons- honestly, I love the texture and weight, it's perfect for my face and doesn't clog it up, BUT it can very easily spill out of my hands if I tilt them the wrong way before applying it to my face. You could maybe avoid that with a cotton pad but then that'll soak up too much product- decisions, decisions! It also is just a TAD sticky, but that's because of all the moisturizing elements in the essence. Overall, I really love this product. Just be careful with how you apply it so that you don't lose any of it.
Most Helpful Critical Review Far from what it claims to be! I tried to use this for a week straight and had to return before the 7 days were up. I was so confused by the other reviews complimenting how hydrating this product was because it made my face feel so dry and uncomfortable! What's also strange is that glycerin is one of the first ingredient in this product and my skin usually loves products with glycerin. I know that hyaluronic acid needs to be used in a humid environment so I even tried using this product on a slightly damp face which slightly helped. But throughout the day, my face felt so dry that I couldn't continue using this product.

The best. 5
Kim from Bell Gardens
I love using this right after showering and cleansing my face as it makes my skin look so glowy and my skin feels so hydrated too following with the hanskin hyaluron moisturizer adds an extra glow especially when you use a serum before the moisturizer which i like using the glow recipe watermelon dew drops.
Only Essence I use 5
Cynni A from Texas
I use this every morning! My skin feels refreshed and soft. I've been using it for about 6 months and love it! I immediately apply my vitamin c serum and I feel it helps absorb into my skin so nicely. I keep a back up!
Love this essence 5
Amy M from Austin, TX
I love this essence to give my skin a boost of hydration. I use it on damp skin before I apply my serums and notice a difference in my skin when I am consistent with my use of it.

Best toner I've used! My looks great
Amazing! 5
Carly from LA
This is the best Essence I have used!
And affordable
I have tried other expensive brands but this one leaves my skin so soft. I use it after my toner ( F.A.B. Ultra Repair Wild Oat Hydrating Toner, Amazing Too!) and my skin feels so soft!
Definite must have!
Don't use any HA on a dry face 5
MegRob820 from Boston Ma.
I have learned from my dermatologist that when you are applying HA you must have a wet or moist face. The reason is that HA puts water into the skin by grabbing the moisture from the air and if the air is not super moist then it draws the moisture from your own skin and if you suffer from dry skin already like I do then it just makes it much drier! I have read a ton of reviews on HA and people say it dries their skin out and I used to have the same problem til I learned this now it actually works great! I Just figured I'd let people know in case they are having issues.
secret weapon for dry skin 5
Anj from Wakanda
Glycerin is my skin's best friend. This skin essence is just so lovely, especially during the dry, cold months. I use it right after cleansing, or after toner if I Decide to use one. I dont pat my face all the way dry, I leave it a little damp, then apply this essence. It makes my skin soo soft and plump. I'm actually saving my current bottle for this winter since my skin doesn't need it right now. I can't wait to start using it again.
I would Bathe in this 5
Courtney from Atlanta
Hanskin's Hyaluron Skin Essence is a favorite hydrating essence that helps you achieve healthier looking skin. A non-sticky formula that uses hyaluronic acid, Marina extract, and collagen that instantly quenches dryness and restores your skin's natural radiant glow.
I would literally bathe in this essence if I could. It's one of my new favorites in my routine. If you apply more than once (7 skin) then it can become sticky. Two drops onto my fingers is plenty to cover my entire face giving me the softest skin.
PROS:
- Paraben Free, Dye Free, Alcohol Free
- Gentle & Weightless Formula that is fragrance free
- Absorbs quickly. Feels like silk going into skin
- Hydrates my skin well
- Leaves my skin smooth and plump
- Did not cause me to breakout
- Gives me a nice dewy glow
CONS:
- Can be sticky once absorbed
- Heavy on glycerin

Alicia from Wilder
This I can not live without! It feels nice, keeps my skin soft and hydrated. I love how quick it absorbs into my skin. I have tons of bottles I will always use this product.
My go to!!! 5
Leslie W from Wheaton, IL
My skin is dull and so dry without this!!!! I use am and pm. Love that it's paraben free too!
Not a regret but not a must have 3
E from Texas
I was looking for something comparable to the SKN II brand that cost 3 times as much. This is a decent less expensive option. It's great to add to your routine for hydration and you don't want to pile on several different serums at one time.
LOVE this! 5
Shari from Maine
This is the second step I use in my routine at night and first in the morning. I use it after toner at night and it leaves my skin feeling so soft! This is a product you do have to give a couple of minutes to fully soak in before moving to the next step but it's definitely worth it and a little goes a long way so this bottle lasts forever! I'm only 3/4 of the way through my first bottle and have already purchased a backup and will continue to repurchase.
Not for me 2
Di from New Jersey
I bought this because of all the great reviews and totally regret it. My skin feels much drier and not as soft as before. I literally have to drag my moisturizers over it. Will go back to The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 which I totally loved and made my skin so soft and my moisturizers go on smooth.
I love this product. A MUST HAVE in your routine. 5
Gemgirl from Nebraska
Makes my skin feel like silk, easy asorbstion
great for microcurrent device!! 4
trey from San angelo, TX
the product has great slip and not so watery you can't use it as a microcurrent device 😉. you just apply your water based treatments first the use it on the diode , or apply to skin . then pass over with your microcurrent and it seriously activates nerves in skin especially on four head.
Game changer! 5

Super Hydrating! 5
Neenz from Chicago
I love this essence. I use a really tiny amount on my face morning and night. it's super hydrating and dries after 2 min. This bottle can last a really long time.
Absolutely love 5
Lish2777 from US
I got this for my teenager and received a free sample. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. I use this right before my moisturizer and it makes ALL the difference in how my skin feels. I rub the residual on my hands and cuticles lol! This will be replacing my Fresh Beauty Rose Deep Hydration essence.
This + Hyaluron Moisture Cream = Amazing skin! 5
Erica from Knoxville TN
I bought this and the Hyaluron Moisture Cream during Beauty Steals. I will be purchasing again, forever, even at full price. It's that good! I shake out a few drops into my palm and that's all it takes to cover my face. Don't use TOO little, because it sinks in pretty quickly. If you use too much, it feels wet for a minute but then soaks in and leaves your face feeling soft and somehow, even cleaner. It is definitely NOT greasy or oily. I haven't used only this as a moisturizer yet - I follow it up with a tiny dab of the moisture cream (so in love with that stuff!) However, once it gets hot and humid here, I'm betting that this will be all I need if I'm going to be outside. I just love how my skin feels after using this and the cream. Super soft, hydrated but not at all oily... It's a miracle combination! PS, it really takes just a few drops, so this bottle is going to last quite a while!
Not a toner. 1
TLK from Portland, OR
Very thick and left my skin feeling very sticky - had to wait a long time for it to absorb so I could finish my skincare routine.
