Review: Holika Holika Apple Shine Turn Over Essence

*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

This is one of my favorite products!! My skin is usually a bit tight after I use my toner and it typically feels a bit dry. This essence goes on and it's like a refreshing glass of water on a hot day. It smells wonderfully like a granny smith apple. It's got a gel/lotion texture that I absolutely love. I'm not sure I'd be particularly clear if I said it makes my skin feel new, but it does. I have it on at the moment and if you rub your hand on my cheek, it's completely soft and smooth. It does make my skin feel a bit dry, but after I add my emulsion, it's okay. I would suggest following up with an emulsion or moisturizer. That being said, I'm really glad it's not sticky like another essence I've tried (can't recall the name!). I was worried about the size of the product, since the bottle is quite small, but only 2 pumps are needed to cover my whole face and the bottle has lasted me a while.

Pros

-Smooths skin quite a bit

-Easy to get out of the bottle (pump)

-Not sticky

-Smells fabulous!

Cons

-Leaves skin a bit dry

-Apple scent is strong for those who don't like strong scents (I like strong scents)

-I didn't really notice any "cares of dead skin" happening, but it may be because I wash regularly and this product comes in the middle of my routine.
