• But missing hydration buffer for serum

2. Apply Too Much:

• 3-5 drops cho mặt
• Too much → waste + product film on skin

3. Rub Vigorously:

• Pat gently — don't rub
• Rubbing creates friction + irritation

4. Use Essence as Spray:

• Essence not designed for misting
• Use spray-specific product

5. Mix Essence with Foundation:

• Apply essence → wait thấm → foundation
• Mixing dilutes both
