Essence Cosrx Galactomyces 95 Tone Balancing Essence

Great product! The skin feels soft, smooth, and not sticky. It gradually lightens over time. I have been using it for several years. I highly recommend it.

I decided to try this as a budget replacement for Manyo Galac 2.0, as I have oily and problematic skin. My first impressions were that it absorbs instantly, tightens pores, and gives a radiant glow. However, after a few applications, I had a breakout, but I decided to continue using it. After 2 weeks, the breakouts cleared up. I have been using it for a month now, and I am very satisfied. It provides deep hydration, quickly eliminates post-acne marks, and most importantly, it works on closed comedones! I always had closed comedones, and even with the simultaneous use of Retinol, AHA, BHA, and enzymes, significant changes came from this simple moisturizing essence.

I have been using it for a week and I haven't seen any results. But at least it didn't do anything bad to my skin. Maybe I need to use it a little more to see some effect.

The essence feels sticky when applied. However, it doesn't bother me because I use it in the morning, right after washing my face, as a toner+serum. Then, I apply a lightweight two-phase oil with a massage on top. I don't use it as part of my main morning skincare routine after my workout.

However, in some areas, it causes redness, which I cannot tolerate. I prefer a gentle and non-aggressive skincare routine. Today, I applied a clay mask from a French brand (known for their gentle formulations) on top, and it stung a little. After washing it off, my face was very red. They didn't work well together.

I'm not sure about the lighting aspect (since I'm not prone to pigmentation), but this essence makes my skin perfectly smooth. After application, the effect of flawless skin lasts for several hours.

Given: oily and problematic skin, I have been using this product for over a month.

This essence did not lighten anything on my skin: freckles, redness, and post-acne marks are still present on my skin.

The essence moisturizes the skin, but I cannot confirm its wrinkle-smoothing effects. The elasticity and firmness of the skin have not changed.

I would like to leave a review about using this essence on aging skin. After using it, my skin looks nourished, firm, and radiant in a positive way. I will definitely repurchase it. I follow up with further skincare routine after using the essence, as one application is not enough for me. It lasts for a very long time.

Good essence, moisturizes the skin, adds shine. I have combination skin, and this product suits me well.

I used it for about three months every day without any significant results. Then I decided to switch to essences/serums from other manufacturers, and my skin started to improve visibly. It became clear that this product doesn't do anything for my skin at all. However, I am grateful that it didn't cause any allergies or breakouts, especially after my reaction to their Snail 92 cream. It's a pity, but I guess this brand is just not for me. The only thing that has worked perfectly for me from this manufacturer is their salicylic foam.

I have sensitive, prone to breakouts and oily skin. I use this essence as a basic skincare step after cleansing and toning. It is less moisturizing compared to the oil-free lotion from the same brand, but it works well during hot periods. Unfortunately, it may not be enough for dry skin, so you will have to apply a cream on top. It doesn't cause irritation or new breakouts. As for lightening, I'm not sure because my skin is already fair, but my freckles haven't completely disappeared even though I've been using it for almost a year. It has an economical usage - one pump is enough for my entire face and part of my neck. I apply it on damp skin after toning, and it really reduces the amount needed. It's a decent basic skincare product, but don't expect miracles.
