My thoughts on Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence
Since it is a starting treatment essence, I normally use this after cleanser, before my toner, as the first hydrating step.
Cleanse - Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence - toner - moisturizer
I bought this over a year ago and as you can see, tak sampai separuh pun I guna. It seems like I can't finish using this sebab I don't really enjoy using it. Every time pakai, kulit rasa kesat and tak best. Like a matte feeling. And I have dry skin. So tak rasa ngam langsung. I want something that is hydrating and brightening for my skin.
As for the ingredients, you might wanna avoid this if you have fungal acne. It's free from alcohol and fragrance so it's okay to use if you have sensitive skin. If your skin senang naik acne, try check if your skin is okay with silicone or not cause this contains silicone and it may clog your pores (depends on your skin). There are few brightening ingredients in this essence.

Bottom line, if you are looking for hydrating product, this is not it. If you are looking for a brightening products, this might be okay, although I haven't seen any major improvement. Maybe I guna tak consistent so I tak nampak lah the effect. If you have acne problems or breakout, you might wanna skin this and focus on your skin issues first.
Thanks for reading!
