Love it
I had a generous sample of this essence as part of a goody bag. 10 ml lasted for about two weeks. I applied it as part of my evening routine after cleaning my face and was totally amazed. It is SO pleasant to use. It is very hydrating, it spreads perfectly well and leaves the skin soft and nourished. It didn't cause any irritation on my sensitive skin. I can not speak of any particular results, as it's hard to say and my evening routine is quite rich in active ingredients, but I think that for someone who likes this toning stage of the routine (which is not necessary, of course), it can be a very nice option, the price is quite high, but I believe this bottle will last for a long time and it's a nice buy. I wanted to rebuy it to substitute for the serum stage of my morning routine, but noticed there are some acids in it and not sure now. Totally worth a try!

Nice product
I received a sample of this essence in a recent gift with purchase. It was a little sticky to apply so I reserved using it in the evenings only (with the Augustinus Bader Rich Cream on top). It did not irriate my skin and I definitely noticed a more uniform and radiant complexion.

Subtle Skin Refinement
I'm a big fan of essences, but mainly use them as a morning skincare step. With the AB essence, I like to use this post cleanse in the evening with some fairly generous drops onto clean skin, then follow with a simpler, inactive moisturiser. I noticed a tiny bit of clarity and refinement in the skin and it feels like it's very gentle. When I initially started using this, I was a bit underwhelmed and I was using only a very small amount, but with increased usage and a few more drops, I do see more of a difference.

Lovely but the price tag…
I have combination oily skin that is acne prone. I love AB cream (both versions) which is surprising considering my skin type. So my expectations were high for this essence/toner because I love such multitasking products, especially when travelling. I was left a bit perplexed. In comparison with similar products that are definitely cheaper, I wouldn’t notice anything special. My hair looked after it and it worked well with serums but it didn’t transform my skin like the creams from this brand do.

Unclear what it actually does
I received a sample of AB essence in a recent GWP and used the bottle, but at the same time I was slightly at loss what it did to my skin as one does not really use it on its own, and in a combination with another serum it is difficult to judge the result (although I did not notice changes to the best or to the worst). Did not convince me as a good addition to my skincare routine, but nothing critical to say either (perhaps just the price as this product is quite expensive, especially if one is struggling to see the actual contribution)
