I'm not sure if my skin is getting better, but I like how it feels, how it spreads, and the scent.

The essence is so hydrating. I apply two or three layers at night. Love it. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I've been enjoying using it. It's hydrating. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I stock up whenever it's on sale, then stock up some more. My precious skincare staple. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
Love it, so so much. I've settled on Talitha Koum for my skincare. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
The scent is mild, it feels fresh, and the hydration lasts a long time, so I bought another one to use when I work out. [Naver Pay review originally displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I've found my skincare routine!!! [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
It's hydrating, so I bought it again, haha. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
Gentle and feels nice to use. Fast delivery. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]

The reviews are good, so I'm looking forward to trying it!!! [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
My current toner is running low, and I was trying to decide whether to buy the same one again. Then Talitha Koum Essence Soo caught my eye. I was curious, and the reviews were good, so I bought it.. The price for such a small amount, haha. I guess that means it's that good :) [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
Essence Soo alone makes my skin feel full of moisture, so I'm buying it again! It soothes, hydrates, and seems to brighten my complexion. It's like a nutritional supplement for my skin ❤️ [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I'm not sure if my skin is getting better, but I like how it feels, how it spreads, and the scent. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
It's on the expensive side, but it's that moisturizing and good.. I've gone through several bottles, and I always think it's good. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I was worried because it's my first time trying this brand, but I really like it... [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
It's soft. I bought the cotton pads, too, and I'm going to try using it as a mask. It says it helps brighten skin, so I'll try it this summer. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
My skin feels softer when I use it. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
It helps soothe my skin and seems to make my complexion clearer. It's become something I can't do without :) [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
It absorbs well and makes my skin feel firmer. Thank you! [Naver Pay review originally displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I liked it, so I bought it again. [Naver Pay review originally displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
As I've gotten older, the dryness underneath my skin has gotten worse, so I've bought lots of different products. Now I've finally found one I'm happy with and don't feel the need to keep looking. It moisturizes well, and people say my skin looks clearer. Very, very happy. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I haven't used it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I'm switching over to this brand one product at a time :) [Naver Pay review originally displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
The redness on my cheeks has gone down a lot. It's surprising. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I liked it, so I went ahead and bought lots during the sale. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I use it as both a first essence and a toner. It's gentle. I should buy the bigger size. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
Very happy with it. I'll keep using it. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
Whenever I change my skincare, I always get skin trouble. But this was fine from the first application. So surprising.. My skin feels comfortable. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I'm on my fourth bottle of Talitha Koum Essence Soo. That's how good it is. It's a little expensive, but when I soak the essence pads they sell alongside it and leave them on my skin, my skin feels different the next day. I'm going to keep using it.. ♡♡ [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I loved the cushion so much that I ordered this to use like a toner! I've been getting little bumps lately, and I hope it helps. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
It did sting when my seborrheic dermatitis was bad, but it helped soothe my skin. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I'll have to try it first to see. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
Bought my second bottle. I noticed a difference the first time I used it. After three days, my husband asked if I'd changed my skincare. By the time I'd finished the bottle, my dermatologist was asking what I'd been using lately. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
It's hydrating, goes on softly, and smells nice :) [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
My skin was oily when I was younger, but it's become dry as I've gotten older, especially underneath. I've tried lots of highly recommended serums, ampoules, and essences. Even the expensive ones didn't feel moisturizing. Then I happened to discover Talitha Koum. Someone first told me about the sunscreen, but I tried Essence Soo first. My skin feels less dry underneath and seems brighter. Maybe it'll get even better after a few more days? It seems to absorb better with the essence pads. They're especially thin. I'd suggest buying them together. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
I tried the 100 ml size and it suited my skin, so I bought the larger one! It soothes my skin, feels hydrating underneath, and seems to make my complexion clearer. I think it'll be good to keep using :) [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
This is really good. Sometimes I leave it on my cheeks and forehead like a mask, and my makeup goes on well the next day. Honestly, it is expensive, but it's so good. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
It goes so well with the pads. Love it. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
Really gentle and smells nice. I wish the bottle were just a little lighter. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
This toner essence is so good. I first bought it through a group-buy offer, and I'm going to buy it again! [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
My skin feels moisturized and soft. [Originally posted on Naver Smart Store and displayed on talithakoum.co.kr. Translated from Korean.]
Good to know.
Does it replace my toner?
Yes. Use Soo as your first leave-on step after cleansing, in place of a hydrating toner. Follow with your serum and moisturizer. It is not an exfoliating acid toner.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Soo completed a sensitive-skin patch test in 31 adults with an irritation index of 0.00 under test conditions. It contains fragrance, including limonene, so it is not fragrance-free. If you avoid scented skincare, check the full ingredient list before choosing it.
Do I still need a moisturizer?
Yes. Soo provides a light hydrating first layer. Follow with a moisturizer suited to your skin. When skin feels dry, you can apply two or three light layers of Soo before your cream.
