I purchased this for my mom who has very dry skin. Overall the essence is quite watery and light weight with a nice floral scent. She didn't mind using it but felt like it wasn't hydrating enough for her skin. On the anti-aging side, not much has been noticed for any fine line or spot reduction within 3 months. I'd recommend this towards more combo-dehydrated skin types. Dry skin types may be better off looking for something a little more heavy-duty or be willing to buff it up with some facial oils or use a heavy cream.
