AMORE PACIFIC Essential Fluid
AMOREPACIFIC is a luxury brand that creates high-performance skincare, utilizing the power of Asian botanicals, the core of AMOREPACIFIC skincare. Green tea is grown and harvested by the brand and utilized in its potent formulas, along with other rare ingredients like bamboo sap, pine mushroom, and red ginseng. The key ingredient in the Amorepacific Essential creme fluid is Baby Green Tea leaves. It is the first company in the world to stabilize this sought after ingredient and use it in skincare.
A unique, light weight, silky lotion that has the hydrating qualities and nutrients of a rich cream in a refreshing fluid formula that is fast penetrating, moisturizing and full of antioxidant benefits.

Color, Texture and Consistency
White, light weight, silky, smooth, non sticky fluid that is not too thick. It has a pretty runny consistency.
Scent
Highly fragranced, just like all other Amorepacific products. The floral scent is a bit over powering, but that is fine. Good fragrance doesn't bothers me. I personally like it. It feels very bougie.
Application
I use a dime size product twice a day after my serum. It is very moisturizing, so I don't feel the need to use any creams during the day, but I slather on a sunscreen or sometimes a light, water based moisturizer if needed. At night though I layer a sleeping mask or some facial oil depending on what my skin needs.
Feel and Effect on the Skin
The light weight, thin creamy fluid spreads easily on to the skin and is absorbed almost instantly. It moisturizes beautifully, without feeling heavy and does not leave behind any greasy residue. The skin feels soft and velvety smooth. The product layers very well along with other products that I apply before or after and there is no piling or balling issue. This does not mess with my makeup either. The formula did not clog pores nor did I experienced any breakouts.
I have dry skin and this one does the job of moisturizing it very well without actually needing anything else to layer on top of it. This makes a fantastic day time moisturizer, providing antioxidant protection and moisture to the skin. Add a layer of sunscreen and I am good to go.
Packaging
The packaging is stunning. Comes in a white, opaque plastic bottle, that mimics heavy glass or ceramic bottle and has a pump dispenser. Looks very beautiful and chic on the vanity.
Final Verdict
The texture and formulation is what makes this product different. Even though I am still trying to properly incorporate an emulsion in my routine, I find this particular emulsion replacing the need to add extra layer of moisturizer in form of cream or oil. This may differ depending on skin type and other factors like weather, temperature etc. Very dry skin might need an extra layer and oily to combination skin might be just fine using this on its own. This being super light weight, yet intensely moisturizing, would work for almost all skin types. Personally, the AMOREPACIFIC Essential Creme Fluid makes a fantastic day time moisturizer completely on its own, providing antioxidant protection and moisture to the skin, without being heavy or greasy. All I need is a layer of sunscreen and I am good to go. Highly fragranced just like all other Amorepacific products.
As far as cost is concerned, $98 for 100 ml is pretty steep, but for the amount needed for the skin and the generous amount present in the bottle, the product will last for a while. Not to mention the unique formulation with potent ingredients
