Life plankton Essence

Soothing beyond words!!!!

Well I don’t know where to start with this beautiful product . First of all I’ve been using this for many years and was hesitant to try at first due to the price . Glad I went for it as you only need a tiny amount and it lasts for ages . Not been using this every day for about a year because it’s my go to product to repair and smooth after I’ve been using my retinol or accidentally got a bit too much sun . Which leads me to why I’m only just reviewing this product !!! Over the past few days I burned my face with going to hard on the exfoliating products . Was so sore and irritated I started to panic , then remembered that this will fix me and boy from the moment it hits your skin you have relief !!!! I’ve put it on my neck if it gets red from the sun and next day it’s gone . Please don’t hesitate to try this miracle liquid !!!!!!!

must have

Love this im on my 3rd bottle. Helps my dry face get more moisture before i apply moisturizer. I did not have any negative reaction.

Very Soothing and Hydrating plus Brighting

Amazing and very soothing and Hydrating ! Love how quickly it absorbs , great to prepare the skin with this before adding the Serum Elixir from Biotherm, both go very well together and I wake up to soothing Baby soft Skin in the morning plus more supple and Bright

Game changer

I have chronically dry and dehydrated skin. I use this every morning and evening after I cleanse. I then add the biotherm aura concentrate. My skin has never been better. Dewey, and hydrated. I ran out and it took a week before I replaced it. In that time my skin started to get dry and itchy again. I cannot be without it. Game changer for me. I don’t mind the scent but I know some people are sensitive…I’m not one of those people. The bottle lasts almost 6 months so well worth it.

Broke me out

As others mentioned, this product is heavily fragranced, but that doesn't bug me so I decided to try it out. My acne prone skin did not like this at all and started breaking out because of it. I didn't want to waste it as it's a pricer product so I decided to use it on my neck and chest instead- it broke me out there too. I gave it two stars as I do find it very hydrating. It may be better for someone who doesn't have acne prone skin, but it's definitely not for me.

fragranced

Just got a sample of the essence and it's very fragranced. I don't like it cause my skin is too sensitive. I tried it and it feels refreshing. It's only my first application so I did not see any results yet. I don't think I'm gonna use it again because or the fragrance thing. But if you don't mind well go for it :) biotherm has very good products!

best essense I've tried

you only need one or two drops for your entire face and neck. feels very refreshing after. light and not oily at all.

Very fragranced for your skin, be careful!

Very disappointed as this product contains a great deal of fragrance. I don't mind the feeling of the product but it is heavily fragranced and the ingredient list on Sephora is both incomplete and misleading. There are MANY other ingredients than the "Life Plankton™ Essence" including harmful ones that I believe led to irritation in my skin. This is too expensive for what it is and even if it led to superficial benefits in the short-term, the likelihood of this leading to irritation over time is too high. May be beneficial for some people, however my very sensitive, dry, eczema prone skin cannot handle it... Although I don't really think anybody benefits from added fragrance in their skin care. Rant. Over!

My skin is so soft after using this!!!!! Love it, I’m keeping it in my rotation and using every drop

This product made my face super soft. I used it for 1 week and noticed how soft my cheeks has gotten when I wash my face. I would put a few drops in my palm, then pat my face with the essence. Then wait a few seconds, and then use my regular skincare regime. It is quite pricey for an essence. The only thing with this product is the smell. It does not bother me, but there are times I wonder if it has gone bad or not. It is quite strong, and I am trying to stay away from any products that has fragrance. You could see some particles at the bottom of the jar but I think it's from the ingredients they use.

After using Murad’s essence, this seems a bit more watery to me. It’s definitely not enough to go without a moisturizer, but I also believe that essence is not supposed to be a replacement for one. I use it with a variety of products. I do like that it stretches for the $80 you pay, but I don’t see a bih difference with all the other products that I do have. My skin is a bit softer... I’ll give it a 4 because I think it has potential. I just wish that it can enhance the effect of my serums/ampoules/treatments a bit more. Also, having it a bit more watery meant that it’s easy to over pour it on your hands. Using a cotton pad would have you lose product... so I try my best to minimize waste.

Sticky. No benefits. No thank you

I gave this product 2 months to work, unfortunately it didnt. The glass bottle is beautiful, the smell is fresh and pleasant, that's about it. This essence leaves your skin feeling clammy and sticky, and hasnt made any improvements in my skin. I've been using it on my neck and chest as well and it's just leaves my skin such a gross sticky mess. Wont repurchase and wont reccomend
