Help me pick my next first treatment essence-AB related

[calico]

I'm about 3 weeks away from using up the last of my Secret Key first treatment essence. I do not have any backups on hand and am interested in trying a different brand. I've tried Missha (hated it) and SK-II(loved it, too $$). I'm happy with Secret Key, but I'd like to see if there is anything better out there.

Any suggested products?

I started using Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence after reading Fifty Shade's of Snail's rave reviews.  I'm liking it so far and look forward to seeing the long term results.  Plus it's not super expensive.

I really love my Manyo Galactomyces Niacin. It feels nice to put on and makes my skin bright, healthy dewy, and moisturized. I use that first, and then Cosrx Snail Mucin 96, which seems to help with calming and moisturizing.

Has anyone used the Corsx galactomyces essence?

Well, the Secret Key is my favorite. I also like Secret Key Milk brightening toner which is a hydrating toner. I use one in the morning and the other at night.

I've used a little over half a bottle and really have not noticed any difference between when I use this and when I don't. Of course, I had the same issue with the Missha FTE so maybe I'm just not a fermentation person.

sporky, did you use the old Missha FTE or the new formula? I didn't like the new formula at all and didn't notice a difference.

calico, It was the new version. I've heard a lot of people say the same- better results with the older version.

I have. I also haven't seen a whole lot. Not sure I noticed an effext. I shelved it for a while to try out some samples of pricier things and did see effects with those. Sum secret repair concentrated essence or whatever it's called being the most notable.

Where have you found the best price for this? It's on my short list and I was looking forward to trying it before memebox ran out of stock and cancelled my order.

I just bought out on Amazon. 27.50. I didn't spend time looking for a better price because I had a gift card from my bday. The cosrx snail mix in I buy at ULTA. $20is I think.

Just repurchased Cosrx snail mix on Amazon for $15. It lasted me five months, so a great deal.

I have. It didn't upset my skin, which was a positive, and felt nice on, but other than that I didn't notice that it really did anything. It was inexpensive, and the bottle lasted a long time, but I haven't felt the need to repurchase.

So I just purchased a bunch of stuff, including the Manyo essence, some sunscreens and the klairs Vit C serum. Good lord i spent a lot.
