Reddit reviews Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence Intensive Moist - Kbeauty concentrated essence with moisturizing antioxidants to moisturize & refine - Amazon QR Code Verified for Authenticity

I don’t have one that’s $40 but my total hydration routine is a bit over $50! I’m a broke uni student so being able to replace things at a low cost yet high effect is pretty important to me haha.
My holy grail is the Klairs toner though. I’ve used it as my primary moisturizer before and it works well in that role if you’re willing to layer it 3+ times.
Klairs Unscented Supple Prep Toner for $20.
Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence for $30.
CeraVe PM Cream for $12/ea (I use as my daily moisturizer, not a fan of the day spf version).

This is my carefully crafted list according to friends/reddit and other sources. enjoy

AM

• CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
  
• Paula’s Choice Vitamin C15 Super Booster (I’ve used products that go up to 20% but I haven’t noticed a difference in anything but shelf life so I stick with this one).
  
• Paula’s Choice Retinol 1% (every third day right now, it’s my newest addition)
  
• Benton Snail Bee high content essence
  
• CeraVe AM Moisturizer
  
• Nivea Sun Protect Super Water Gel SPF 50/PA+++ (but waiting on Skin Aqua Super Moisture Gel SPF50 + PA ++++ to arrive)
  
• Makeup (on work days)
  
  PM
  
  
• Jojoba oil
  
• CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
  
• Paula’s Choice 10% AHA (recently increased from the 8% to the 10%, I feel like the 8% wasn’t doing enough for me)
  
• Benton Snail Bee high content essence
  
• CeraVe PM Moisturizer
  
  I am preemptively concerned about dryness since adding PC's Retinol 1%. I really want the benefits of the retinol but know it can be drying so I want to be proactive about boosting hydration.
  
  Which of these hydrating toners and/or essences would you recommend and why?
  
  
• Kikumasamune Sake Skin Lotion High Moisture
  
• Hadalabo JAPAN Skin Institute Gokujun premium hyaluronic solution
  
• MUJI Sensitive Skin Moisturizing Toning Water/Toner, Light
  
• NOONI Deep Water Therapy Dual Moisturizing Toner
  
• MISSHA Time Revolution The First Intensive Moist Treatment Essence
  
  Skin type: normal, can be a bit red or sensitive at times, a little oily / clogged corners of nose and chin at times. My main concerns are texture, brightness, anti-aging.

Looking at your above comments- I agree with the other poster, patch test a little area on your cheek or something with the squalane but honestly you should be fine. It's a great oil, I haven't met a face that doesn't like it! Fun (well sorta fun I guess) fact- the Squalane Oil from TO was the founder who recently passed away, Brandon Truaxe's favorite product. The company gave it away for free with purchases made in stores after he died because he was so passionate about the product.

Ahh hydrating toner recommendations-

Dear Klairs

Corsx essence

Missha essence

Those are the three I see recommend on here the most, like all the time. I use the STUPIDLY expensive SK-II would never recommend this it does nothing that every other hydrating toner/essence does- I have one or two more applications left in the bottle then it's going in the trash. I also use and love the Son & Park Beauty Water it's a huge bottle and it just feels wonderful on the skin!!

​

You'll know things are working trust me. Your skin will look and feel better, glowing and happier!! And yes in a month (??) once your face is plump and happily hydrated the routine you came up with looks good!

I'm sure it's been discussed here before, but why is the pricing for Missha's FTE so drastically different?

It's less than $25 on Amazon and Target

[Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0XSD38/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_3_w)

[Target] (https://www.target.com/p/missha-time-revolution-the-first-treatment-essence-150-ml/-/A-49167517)

But on Sokoglam and Missha it's $49

[Sokoglam] (https://sokoglam.com/products/missha-time-revolution-first-treatment-essence-intensive-moist)

[Missha] (https://www.misshaus.com/time-revolution-the-first-treatment-essence-intensive-moist.html)

Are the Target and Amazon not authentic? Past their expiration?
