I was lucky enough to be chosen as a tester for Reyena16 CICA Soothing Essence so today I would like to share my review of this product. I did receive this product for free from Reyena16 for testing and review purposes. 

So first some key ingredients:
🌿CICA (centella asiatica) to protect and soothe the skin
🌿Zinc PDA to help hydrate and control sebum
🌿Panthenol to balance and hydrate the skin.

This is a gel type Essence, a consistency that is new to me for an essence for sure, I have used slightly thick essences before but certainly nothing like this gel. This product is recommended for those with sensitive, dry and/or dull skin and at the moment my skin definitely seems to be all of these... just check out the before pictures, but I really think this would work for all skintypes. Those of you in the Southwestern Ontario area will know the weather abruptly switched from frost warnings every night to a heat wave and I found this product was perfect for the switch to the summer weather. I love that the lightweight gel is so cooling on the skin and I find that the cooling sensation lasts for longer than just a few seconds. This product soaked in beautifully leaving my skin feeling very hydrated and looking so very healthy and glowing (check out my after picture). It really does soothe the skin and is perfect for the transition period between winter to spring/summer. I know I will be enjoying this all summer long. I used it after my regular toner and found is worked well layered with my other usual skincare products like my Serum and moisturizer as well as any makeup application. It does not have any real scent to it that I could detect  and diď not cause any irritation to my often sensitive skin. During the current mini heatwave we are having I have been putting this in my skincare fridge and it has been glorious!  I will definitely be purchasing this product once I use this one up!
