I actually bought this for my sister as i was not planning to spend much on someone who is still undecided on Korean skincare. Surprisingly she like it so i greedily bought the set for myself - I'll advise you get at least the cream and essence because they work well together. The essence is like most Korean essence, watery but moisturizing and not heavy. The cream is equally light so you don’t have to worry about clogged pores and you begin to feel dry towards the end of the day - i have drrrrrrrry skin.  It gradually whitens.... i've used mine for about 1.5 months,  so don't expect to "see results" in 1 week", i had almost finished the essence before i noticed my skin had become softer and had a more uniform colour. It broke out the first week i was using it but later discover it was because of the sleeping mask i was using because as soon as I stopped using the sleeping mask the bumps and acne disappeared. I don’t have wrinkles so i can comment on that but I’m in my mid 30's and of African descent. The downside is that I didn't like the pipette in the essence. It’s a nice idea but the essence is a little too thick for it to be effective or maybe it was just my bottle and the cream doesn't  have the little spoon thingy one can use to scoop out the cream to avoid contamination. Overall, it ok. I'm wondering if it’s still worth it buying more expensive products as they all seem to do the same thing.
