I've used this essence for over a year and I love love it. I think I've purchased 4 or 5 bottles of this essence and I have 2 more coming my way I just like it so much! It has a really light texture no scent at all doesn't cause any breakouts and leaves my normal to combination skin moisturized while controling my oily T-zone. It sinks in a few minutes leaving the skin a little bit sticky but it goes away after I use my cream. It makes all my acne scars disappear (I had some bad ones from 6-7 years ago and after some time using this essence and the toner the scars were gone). I use 2-3 pumps every night and mornig and sometimes one or two pumps more for specific areas where I have a bigger scar or on my smile lines and under the eyes. The only con I can think of is that it might not be moisturizing enough for those with dry skin but using a really good moisturising cream after will do the trick. I will buy this until the day Benton won't produce it anymore (and I hope this will never happen).
