SECRETKEY Starting Treatment Essence, Nourishment & Hydration, Wrinkle care, Contained 95% Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate 5.24 fl. Oz. / 155ml, Natural Ingredients, Essence for Sensitive Skin

Love this essence. Skin drinks it up, and it leaves the skin softer and brighter. People say this is a dupe for SKII. The formulation is top notch, and the price point is great. Try it and see a difference in your skin.

This is my go to replacement of SK2 for its intended functions. The product doesn’t contain Pitera but it does have Galactomyces, which can brightening, hydrating, supports barrier repair. The essence is light and airy like water, easy to apply, and it is not sticky at all.

I would repurchase this toner again and again. Love this stuff. Quality toner, great on my skin, softens it really well and I like the price. No issues with smell or quality of product at all.

I use many essence/first treatment types of facial preparation fluids. I had heard great things about Secret Key so had to try for myself. It is very nice, seems to help with absorption of my following products. Will I repurchase? Uh, not sure as I am always on the hunt for HG which this has not become at least as of yet though I will continue to use and decide on further when I get further down the bottle.

I ordered this after a youtube dermatologist recommended it as a dupe for skII...I like it well enough because the ingredients are good but it leaves quite a residue..its supposed to improve your skin's barrier but it literally dries into a barrier itself if that makes sense so I feel like if I want to use any other skin care products I should use them before this one which feels off because this stuff is so thin, I want to use it first and the thicker serums and creams after but if you do that it REALLY makes a big thick barrier that feels like a mask

I put it in a spray bottle and I spray my face right after shower before I put on the cream. It feels wonderful

This is one of my favorite second step in my a.m. and p.m. winter routine. I have tried many $-$$$$ toners and this is one is the best. I always thought of a toner as a stripping agent or an exfoliant but as I have gotten older realized that it's better to keep your skin barrier protected instead of stripped. This is extremely helpful to help keep the skin prepared to be moisturized and protected particularly in the dry months of winter. I have less negative reactions from retinoids since using as part of my routine. It layers perfectly with other serums. Won't live without.

I like it. I use it as the first step on my clean skin in the morning. It seems to help the serums I use after absorb. This is a repurchase for me.
