Review: Purebess 100% Galactomyces Essence

Volume: 50 ml

Price: RM 30 for 2 bottles

I got this in March because it was selling like hotcakes and the item description on Qoo10 looks really promising. So what is galactomyces? I did some googling and it is Pitera, the main ingredient of SKII's Facial Treatment Essence.

I used this sometimes (because I just have so many things to finish) right after cleansing. The texture is just like water, except that it is a bit 涩. The essence has a very faint smell and doesn't bother me at all.

My first impression: I was highly skeptical of this, because it felt like plain water. It did not make me glow whatsoever, and I felt cheated. I really thought it was plain water with perfume, lol. Nevertheless I kept using it from time to time, just not as frequent.

I just pat this in without using cotton pads. The water does not really gets absorbed, but it is so light I didn't feel anything. I feel that it has merely disappeared(!)

Personally I find some products work well together and some doesn't. When the products work well together, even drugstore brands can give you a highly unexpected result.  I haven't find the perfect match for this, and it doesn't seem to compliment or bring down any products that I used.

Recently I have been staying up late, so my skin gets sallow and dry. I used this more and found out that it helps to reduce the sallowness of my skin. When I don't use this essence, I look like a zombie.

Verdict: I can't really comment much because I'm still very much confused about this product. I'll have to see whether it really is the miracle ingredient Pitera.

Please do share with me your experience with this product. I'm still confused here ;P
