Farmacy Hydrating Essence - Hydrating Honey Milk Toner + Facial Essence to Soothe, Moisturize and Strengthen Skin Barrier - Preps Complexion for Skincare Products or Makeup Application (120ml)

Farmacy is such an underrated brand with exceptional products, and this is one of my favorites! I'm an oily skin gal with mild rosacea, and this hydrating essence has helped soothe my skin and reduce redness. I'm on my 3rd bottle. It's so effective I've started using it in place of a moisturizer lotion during the day! My skin is no longer an oil slick by 3pm, it's just perfectly dewy and supple. Wears great under makeup, and absorbs quickly after application. I also love that it's packaged in glass, which means less plastic in the landfills.

I love pretty much all of Farmacy’s products and this is no exception. I have dry, sensitive skin, but this is super gentle while being ultra hydrating. A little bit of this patted into my skin after cleansing creates the perfect canvas for my serums and moisturizer. Plus, it’s way more affordable than the Tatcha Essence I had previously. I love Tatcha, but I can’t justify the price anymore. Farmacy’s Hydrating Essence is just as good with a much better price tag.

I have tried tons of milky toners, and while there are many good ones on the market as well as in my skincare closet, this one is the queen. It’s the perfect consistency - not too thin or thick, it’s not sticky, absorbs into the skin quickly, and is hydrating. That is every box I need checked for a milky toner as a dry skin girly. It’s the perfect first step in my skincare routine whether on a lazy day off or busy work day. I take advantage of sales so I never have to pay full price but even if I had to, I would. It’s just that good!

So I bought this to use as more of an essence than a toner. I will say its hydrating. It left my skin feeling more supple but it's just missing something that would give it that fifth star. It's fine but not exceptional. I think the best way to describe it is meh.

I cannot say enough about Farmacy. I have used a few products from them, and this is my newest addition. I have been using this for about 6 months now and I absolutely love what it has done for my skin. This targets wrinkles, dryness and redness. I use this after all my toners, and it just leaves my skin dewy and hydrated. I love that this is for Normal, dry and combination skin so my daughter and I share this. We do go through this pretty fast, but I don't want to be without it, especially in the winter months. I will be purchasing this over and over again!

Actually love the way this goes on. I use it morning night, before makeup to prep the skin. Does not have fragrance or peel

I like this product! It’s hydrating and nourishes my skin.

I literally can’t live without this now. I love love love the texture and how it makes my skin feel. It’s so plush and soft and has improved the texture and redness of my face since I started using it. I love it and will forever repurchase.

Works great for improving skin hydration. Have been breakout free since I’ve started using it. Skin feels so soft and wonderful after using.

great product

Game changer for my serums and moisturizer. I add this as my first layer. I let it absorb into my skin until it reaches a slightly tacky then add my serum wait until about 2 mins then add moisturizer. This essence allows my serums and moisturizer to really penetrate. Since starting to use this, when I wear make up it’s visibly noticeable. Skin is more glossy.

Adding this product as a base has been a game changer in my skin care routine. I love the way it moisturizers my skin in the dryer season. Can’t wait to see how it adds more glow in the summer.

After a month of use, together with the honey halo moisturizer, it fixed my dry, dehydrated and damaged skin.
