I’ve been intrigued for years about the SKII skin essence but it’s incredibly pricey and I can’t seem to find non incentivized ratings on the Sephora website. Can anyone here who’s not incentivized or paid for promotion tell me what they honestly think about the product after using it? And is it worth it?

Any other skin essence recommendations? Preferably Korean or Japanese skin care brands as that seems to be what works best for me. (I’ve heard the tatcha essence is good)

Current products in my rotation: Clinique gel acne face wash (daily once a day), inkey list niacinimide (daily twice a day) , shiseido beneficence enriched wrinkle cream (once daily) , tatcha rice wash face wash (daily once a day) , tatcha Dewey skin cream (once a day daily) , glow recipe watermelon toner (once a week prior to niacinamide application)
