This was one of the first essences I tried as I could not stomach spending a fortune for the SKII. I was able to get a week's worth sample of the SKII for comparison. Would I say that the Missha Time Revolution Essence is a dupe? Probably not but it is still a decent essence.
I originally did not like this product mainly because I was not using it properly. I had expected this to be my main source of moisture for my skin but I was highly disappointed when that did not occur. I quickly learned that this is not a stand-alone product but rather it serves to compliment other products in your skincare regimen. This alone will not adequately moisturize your skin but rather serves to hydrate it and prepares it to take in more occlusive and moisturizing products.
While I only noticed a minimal difference in my skin while using this, it was only after I stopped that I realized the effect on my skin. My skin was more supple, hydrated and smoother while using it.
This is a good essence to have but I don't necessarily think it's a must-have. There are other essences I have recently tried that also work similarly to this product.

This product is one that I continue to repurchase even after trying other cleansing oils. This is a gentle method of removing makeup including ones that are waterproof which limits the amount of tugging and rubbing on your skin which may cause irritation.
While it is on the pricey end and I often have to purchase this online as only a few stores carry it in my area (often at a marked up price), I still find it worthy to purchase. It is extremely efficient at removing waterproof products, it emulsifies beautifully and rinses easily without stripping your skin of its natural oils. It is olive-oil based and I have had no adverse reaction to the product in the many years I have been using it. This is also one of the few cleansing oils that does not cause stinging in my eyes.
Although pricey, because of its effectiveness, I find a bottle lasts me a while as you only need 3-4 pumps of the product to fully cleanse your face.
