Now, how do you get the product out from the small outlet?
Just tilt it over and shake it once towards your palm, you'll get 1 drop of sebum essence.


Review on BALANCE Sebum Control Essence
- Has a very refreshing ointment scent
- 3-4 drops is sufficient for whole face application including neck (avoiding eye area)
- The ideal time to apply the essence is after my night bath and morning face wash as they unfavourably alters my skin pH level
- The essence then helps to balance my skin pH level back to the right level (Skin pH level is 5.5)
- Though it is an oil essence, it doesn't feel greasy at all during application
- Essence is being absorbed by the skin within seconds and leaves no greasy traces on skin
- It calms irritation and combat inflammation especially my itchy white heads which I often call them oil spots
- It reduces redness that is caused by my white heads, the redness usually reduces alittle bit by the next day
- By applying the essence twice per day (day & night) on a daily basis, the irritation and inflammation will subside after 2-3 days
- I see tremendous improvement on my skin within a month's time as the sebum level is being maintained at an adequate level, with lesser white/black heads formation
- After using the essence, I will apply moisturiser on top to maintain skin moisture as the essence could sometimes make my skin feels a little bit dry around my laugh lines and near eye area (Areas where its already dry in the first place)
- Recommended to use the essence on areas that easily oil up like T-zone and cheeks
- Recommended to use at only spot area if skin is clear except for a few small spots, and avoid using it on dry areas
- I also use the essence on my chest where sometimes pimples can be found there! O_O" It subsides quickly after a day since skin around chest area doesn't produce as much sebum as the skin on my face
- The essence is able to multi-task by controlling skin sebum level and maintain moisture level at the same time. It doesn't strip moisture off from the inflammation or the skin around it hence the inflammation/pimples don't feel dry at all, unlike the results given by conventional acne creams
I used up 1 bottle of Sebum Control Essence within 1 month+1 week's time, I love it so much that I purchased 4 more essence and was given 1 free! (Promo of Buy 4 get 1 free)
I could feel that the essence does its job really well by balancing my skin pH level at right level and detox-ing my very badly congested and unhealthy skin. Slowly, my skin cleared up after 2 months leaving only minor white heads here and there. My skin tone now looks healthier and refreshed with lesser congested pores.
I would say that the BALANCE Sebum Control Essence works a lot better than using acne/pimple creams. ^_^
Here shows the 4 + 1 BALANCE Sebum Control Essence which I bought. I posted this on my Instagram a month ago ^^

Review on PURE Botanical Soothing Gel
- A nice powdery floral scent
- 1 full pump is all I need for face and neck application
- The light liquid-gel blends out easily and smoothly
- Skin feels very calming, smooth and soft during application
- After the gel is fully absorbed, the skin feels soft & velvety
- Feels very refreshing after the gel is absorbed to skin
- Doesn't feel greasy at all
- Has a velvety matte finish
- Skin doesn't look greasy or glossy at all after application
- It helps keeps moisture within skin for hours
I like the matte finish on my skin after application which also makes my large pores appear less visible and more refined.
