I haven't tried many essences, but I really like this one. It has really helped me to lighten my dark marks, and keep my skin bouncy and radiant. It is also nice and soothing. I love to put it on after washing my face from sweat from exercise. 

I love this! Makes all pigment sport disappear! I will definitely rebuy!

This stuff is really effective. I use it every night after my toner and after just one week the places where I applied it became visibly brighter and some red marks from pimples faded away. I would just be careful with applying it to your nose and forehead as I think it may clog your pores.

I am amazed, after using this product only twice I really feel my skin looks a little lighter. I have sun damaged skin and it's already improving my skin!  It's slightly sticky when first applied but absorbs quickly into the skin.  There's no scent, and it's super light. Very impressed and highly recommend.
