Details & care
What it is: A skin-enhancing essence that is the result of fusing precious, pure ingredients with cutting-edge technology.
What it does: It's sourced from a single extract, antioxidant-rich green tea, which has been naturally fermented and aged to pre-tox and purify the skin before aging occurs. Thee antioxidant-rich green tea was harvested from AMOREPACIFIC's Dolsongi tea garden on Jeju island. The handpicked leaves used to create the original single extract are fermented for 50 days, aged in traditional Korean earthenware for another 50 days and extracted for 24 hours to create a concentrated skin superfood.
How to use: After cleansing and toning, apply morning and night before moisturizing. Tip the bottle, lightly shake 2–3 times and dispense onto your palm. With both hands, apply on your face and neck in a massaging motion and lightly pat to promote absorption.

Based on Jeju Island in South Korea, AMOREPACIFIC blends traditional Asian beauty secrets with cutting-edge technology to create powerful skin care and makeup. AMOREPACIFIC was the first company to incorporate green tea's potent antioxidants into skin-renewing products. Today, AMOREPACIFIC uses ingredients found in nature to create moisturizers, serums, masks and more.
This is an active Korean beauty tonic that brightens, softens lines and hydrates. I'll go as far as saying it is a daily de-ager and I'm astonished at the results. Follow the directions by using a softening lotion or hydrating toner first to prepare the skin for acceptance of the tonic. Your skin will 'glow from within' under foundation. Kind of amazing and worth the price. I've tried other high end (toners/lotion) that don't hold a candle to this best kept secret.

Unjustified price
There is nothing in this that could come close to justify the cost. Questionable safety of some ingredients also. I haven't used this product nor would I.

Nice Product.. Way Overpriced !!
I tried this essence and I really did like it. It is very nice on my border line dry to normal skin. I loved the way it felt when I used this immediately after washing my face. However it does NOT do anything that remarkable for me to justify paying this kind of price tag! If it kept wrinkles at bay as I start to age or if it made my skin perfect without makeup perhaps I would consider buying it again.. but it does not. Obviously I don’t know exactly what goes into making this product and how much it costs the manufacturer however I still think the price way too high. Let me note I do have the extra money to splurge on this but I think this and items like this should not cost this much. If everyone stopped purchasing them at these high price points perhaps these companies would reconsider the percentage they markup them up. Just my thoughts...

Good but drying
This is a nice, very watery serum. Can certainly go under anyhting else you need to layer on top. Being so watery I think it was easy to get too much. For me it was way too drying. If you have dry skin or live in a dry climate, it may not be the best choice.

Green Tea for skincare!
I received a samples of this product and am loving the early results. My sin feels smoother, tight and toned after application. I'm also a big consumer of green tea and thought it would be good to try a product that contains 10-0% GT on my skin. After-all it's like they say, 'you are what you eat'!

Nutrition for your skin
This product is great to use in combination with other Amorepacific moisturizers. I’ve seen improvements in my skin after using it for two weeks. My face looks more even and brighter.

AP Vintage Essence: Inner Light
Very gentle, hydrating lotion, can feel it sink into skin. Superb prep for serum and moisturizer at night to help products absorb. I tried this with AP Sleeping Mask and other favorite moisturizers, my skin glowed in the morning, clear, smooth, soft. Green tea is so good for skin and overall health. Excellent essence.

Miracle in a bottle
An amazing addition to my skincare regimen - results are noticeable almost right away, extremely moisturizing and brightens the skin. A small amount is all that is needed. Totally worth the money...

Magic tea water
I think this stuff is magic. I put it under my face and neck including under eye area and I noticed my under eye area is brighter, more toned and hydrated.

Feels nice
I've just started using this based on reviews. So far I find it easy to appy. Only takes a few drops. My skin feels smooth and clean after applying. I love that there isn't a fragrance. It dries immediately so I can add my moisturizer immediately. I like it.

AMAZING WITH RESULTS
I have very sensitive skin and redness because I have fair skin. The vintage essence brightened my skin and reduced the redness. The results are very quick to see.

Amore Pacific's green tea formula is amazing.
This concentrated green tea extract product is now the third step in my Amore Pacific skin regimen. I use the Time Response line; face wash, toner, essence, serum, eye cream, face cream, face mist and neck cream. I have been using Amore Pacific for almost 9 months now, and I can honestly say that I receive compliments on my skin. Even from a facialist, so it must be working! Don't forget the green tea and sleep masks, body lotion and lip balm. It is an expensive line, but I believe it is worth it, and you only need to use a small amount of each product. It's very concentrated.

Holy grail product
100% officially hooked. This essence is AH-MAZING. My dry skin absorbs this like the desert absorbs water, and it keeps my skin supple, moist, and the best part: GLOWING. Bonus: it even keeps my skin clear. Got a breakout? Just apply this magic liquid on before going to bed, and you’ll wake up with clear, glowing skin.
