I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...

| I really liked how the box was green and patterned inside! |
Thoughts:
- Not helping with the redness, sadly. But it is catered more for irritated skin redness, not for chronic redness. Even though I must say I didn't notice difference on irritated redness either.
- Might leave skin slightly sticky if applied generously. But didn't notice that it would affect other products.
- Full of all sorts of plant extracts, I'm always worried that some of them might be irritating.
- I think this essence is breaking me out a little/clogging my pores? And if it's not breaking me out, at least it's not stopping any breakouts.
- Doesn't control oiliness as promised but feels fresh when applied nonetheless.
+ I like the pump bottle, it's stylish, works well, pumps out a good amount of product at a time! Good and pretty packaging otherwise too.
+ The consistency is very watery gel, easy to spread on skin, absorbs quite nicely, feels fresh. Doesn't affect other products or make them pill.
+ Not too strong fragrance, even though it's weird: smells like soap, like dish soap, Fairy?
+ Feels soothing, actually! (Even if it doesn't live up to redness reducing claims)

* I'm always curious to find solutions for the everlasting redness of my skin... even though I have accepted that my skin will always be a thousand different shades at the same time and I flush easily.
* Can't really comment on the recommendation of using this product after surgery etc, so I don't know if it really helps burned/fragile/healing skin. Personally I feel they are promising too much and for a bruised skin you should just visit a pharmacy...
* Skin&Lab seems to have a lot of interesting products but I feel their claims are way over the top. I might pick up some other products later if I feel like it, at least based on this essence their packaging is very good and their product formulas are pleasant!
* K Plus Red-X Essence is somewhat hydrating/moisturizing too (of course) but it's just so basic that does it even need mentioning? It's ok, nothing amazing, nothing bad.

No.
Worth the money?
Skin&Lab's K Plus Red-X Essence is overall a pleasant product to use, like a basic gel-type essence in a good packaging. It is soothing but I really have to wonder that maybe a basic aloe gel does exactly the same thing for cheaper? However I guess this essence is good for those with normal skin, not too oily or dry or clog prone and it's not that expensive. If you want an essence mainly to be hydrating, maybe keep looking?
