Cosrx

Very good

For many years, I imported this essence directly from South Korea, because it is the best there is - without ever causing pimples, irritating, or feeling sticky afterwards. My skin was always extremely problematic before I started using this (extremely dry and very acne-prone and easily irritated and rosacea-red and tight and painful), and I really remember what a miracle it felt like when I started using this for the first time - for the first time in my life, my skin stopped screaming. I didn't even know I had been in constant pain in my skin for basically my whole life, before I started using this and the pain suddenly disappeared. It really calms all irritation, and can be used even if you have active pimples on your face - they don't get worse at all, but rather it's like the rest of the skin gets a boost. So I really hope this never stops being made. Holy grail. So nice to be able to buy it in Sweden (and at a reasonable price!) instead of having to import it myself. There is simply a very good reason why I easily give this 5 out of 5 stars - I already knew in 2013 that this was a miracle in a bottle for us with problematic skin, and I have used it almost every day for the last 12 years. If I had saved all the empty bottles I’ve gone through by now, I would probably have 30-40 of them, and that says it all 😉 (I hope Lyko starts selling CosRX’s galactomyces tone-balancing essence too - it’s amazing for making those horrible dark purple scars from cystic acne disappear completely, as if they never existed to begin with! All the stubborn marks left after pimples that linger for a long time heal faster, and the skin becomes smooth and nice. Lyko, make sure to get it! 🥰)

I have bought these two products. Make sure to use it the right way, have a clean face and clean hands when you apply. Gives a nice glow and sits extremely well under makeup
