Disapointing
Augustinus Bader products are very expensive. I’ve tried the rich cream with good results, so I was excited when I received a few samples of the essence to try it out and decide if it was worth the purchase of a full size. My experience was good but not excellent. The essence provides hydration and has some body that provide some moisturization as well. My sensitive skin took to it well. But there is nothing remarkable with this essence that justifies the price point. It has good ingredients, but many essences (special K-beauty ones) also do at a fraction of the price.
Best Use: Hydrating, Reduce Dullness

Luxury in a bottle
This product is described as an essence toner but its texture leans quite viscous and thicker, closer to essence than toner. Augustinus Bader recommends applying the product either with your hands, like an essence, or like a toner, with a cotton pad. Since this product is so pricey, I prefer to apply it with my hands, so I know there will be no waste by allowing the product to absorb into a cotton pad. You only need about a quarter-size glob, which is about 3 "drops" or "shakes of the bottle" from the opening.The viscous liquid feels very refreshing and extremely hydrating on the skin. It doesn't immediately absorb into the skin and leaves your skin feeling a bit like you've just put on a serum. It's a very plumping and hydrating formula. This product layers so well with all my skincare products from Augustinus Bader and from a variety of other brands.
Best Use: Hydrating, Anti-Aging

Can’t see the fuss
I received a sample of this and I couldn’t really understand what the fuss was about. It all felt a little bit ‘meh’, as they say. I do like the Rich Cream and would gladly buy that if I could afford to, but this seems a little emperor’s new clothes to me - another product I probably don’t need to put in my skin.

We have been repurchasing This essence from Augustinus Bader for the 6th time now, for both my mum and myself. It's hydrating, smoothing and make our skin feel super refreshed after using it. I also use their cleansing balm from their range, and in winter I layer up with their The Rich Cream, skin feels amazing and never peeling again.

Not for sensitive skin
The Essence has a thick texture for an essence feels almost oily and leaves a residue on skin. I have very sensitive skin and have tried using this multiple times as it’s so expensive the last few only on my oily t zone as it was too harsh for my drier cheeks. Every time I use it, I get pimples and my pores look more obvious and the skin around them is slightly red. As this is the only new product I have introduced and it happens after every use it’s definitely due to this essence. I was only using it once a week. I’m not sure if it’s the ingredients or the formulation but I wouldn’t recommend it for sensitive skin or if you dislike a residue. There are much better gentle essences and toners that can be used on sensitive skin
