UPDATED REVIEW: I had to stop using this due to SEVERE reac

UPDATE Unfortunately, several weeks into using this product I developed a very bad allergic reaction to it. I so badly didn't want it to be this, and I really didn't think it was, but after removing EVERYTHING in my routine and reintroducing things one by one, I finally had to accept this was the c...ulprit. My eyes were nearly swollen shut, my entire face was swollen, and my skin had flaky red patches that eventually connected to each other until my whole face & neck were covered with tiny blisters. It was SO painful and uncomfortable. The rash actually came back at least 4 times over a 3 weeks period because I was ignorantly using this as a moisturizer to ward off the rash. Topical cortisone together with oral prednisone (steroid) did NOTHING to help the reaction. I had to quit using it altogether and simply allow my face to heal on its own.Once I accepted I cannot use this on my face anymore, I tried using it on my hands, hoping it would help with dry winter skin there. And I regret that decision, because a very bad rash with tiny blisters developed there also. I've included photos to show my hands 24 hours after using it. I don't have any photos of what it did to my face because I simply couldn't stand what it looked like. I wanted no memory of it whatsoever .This was just my experience, and I certainly see not many have shared the same one. So, I do hope upon heeding my warning, anyone else who may develop symptoms after many weeks of no issues will know to remove this from their routine first. I'd hate to see others suffer for weeks and weeks like I have, due to a determination to keep using it. I GENUINELY LOVED IT PRIOR TO THE ALLERGIC REACTION. So I do recommend anyone interested in trying it to do so. Idk what ingredient led to my issues, since I have used so many products without incident, but I'm leaning toward the copper since, as far as I know, my other products have never included this.~ORIGINAL POST~ WOW, I didn't expect this to make such an immediate difference to the feel of my skin, BUT IT DOES! I already use great toners, another Korean essence toner, & serums, all which works great. So I thought this would be just another layer. But it leaves my skin SO much softer than all the other layers I use. It's like a velvety soft finish. I LOVE IT so far.I can't speak for the long term affects yet, but I'm considering cutting out some of my other layers & just using this¤". Time will tell if I can part with any of them, but I do know this is a keeper!
