All time fave!
This has consistently been the best skincare product I have ever tried. I'm From is such a high-quality brand and this is reflected so well in the mugwort essence. It instantly calms redness and irritation in my acne-prone skin whilst also acting as a hydrating serum. You can use it as a serum or even as a sheet mask. Will definitely be buying this again!

Fungal Acne Savior!
I use this after cleansing my skin in the morning and night. I put some in the palm of my hand and start slapping/applying it on my face. When my fungal acne looks irritated (esp after wearing masks bc of covid) I soak thin cotton pads into the essence for a make-shift mask. This has definitely helped with some skin textural and redness issues.
Hi Lizy, we are so happy to hear that the Mugwort Essence has helped soothe your fungal acne and has helped with some textural and irritation issues. Mugwort is a great anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial toner that really works with your skin to bring out its best. Thank you for this great review! Stay safe and be well!

Summer essential
I have combo-dry skin, so I have different product needs depending on the season. In the summer I want something lightweight and simple because my skin gets so sensitive to the heat that I break out and develop rashes. At first the smell was a bit surprising but it smells like herbal medicine which I actually like. The texture is lightweight but hydrating. Not hydrating enough for the winter for me, but with two thin layers of it and a gel moisturizer and sunscreen on top, I am ready for the day. The only drawback is that I feel like I'm using it up really fast and it is quite expensive. Get it during a sale if that's the case, or use your cupidpoints. I have acne-prone skin and this did not flare it up at all, but I wouldn't say that it helped with reducing my redness. It is soothing though and I love that it's only one ingredient. Will definitely repurchase.
Hi Saif, it's great that the Mugwort Essence has become you summer essential toner. We are happy to hear that this essence has soothed and calmed your skin. As for when to buy, we suggest you keep an eye out for an upcoming newsletter that is sure to feature a fun surprise ; -). Thank you for this awesome in-depth review. We hope you have a great day! - Cupidrop Team

Great base for DIY mask!
I love using this toner with DIY masks. After using this before bed, twice already, I woke up with clearer looking skin than the night before. The toner is also great to use with my hands directly on my face. This does not cause any breakouts or irritation. I like the herbal scent as well. I have oily skin and this has been great for me.
Hi Charles, what a great alternative way of using the essence! We're so glad you find it useful :) - Cupidrop
