Since this product is called Dermona Herb Essence, I was actually expecting a very strong herbal scent to it, almost to the point of feeling or thinking it may be more suitable for ingestion than for surface application. However, this wasn't to be. Upon opening up the sample sachet and taking a sniff out of this so-called "Herb Essence", what struck me was the fact that this product actually has a rather pleasant and sweet herbal-ish scent to it. Looks and names can be deceiving, huh? However, although The Sample Store website stated that each user can checkout 2 sample sachets of Herb Essence, I only received 1 sachet in my mail. Hence, I really did not see much effect it promised, not especially on my nose. Prior to using this, I actually took the trouble of get rid of as much blackheads as I possibly can on my nose before I used it. And less than 4 days later, I did not see nor feel any pore tightening effects at all. The blackheads are back rather fast, despite this being a pore tightening serum which I applied on my nose diligently. ------ Full Review @ http://puniaogoodies.blogspot.sg/2012/11/dermona-herb-essence-review.html

It worked for my sensitive skin. It is a moisuturizing serum which i used after toner. It has a herbal fragrance.

I didn't like the smell and the sample size was so small! can't quite comment on its effectiveness

Has a weird herbal scent. But overall it is moisturising and has a good texture. Suitable for my sensitive skin.

This is an amazing product. I could feel the difference in just 1 usage. I will defintely recommend it to my friends !

Sample size too small. No much effect after using for 2 to 3 times.

The serum smelled like detergent, easy to apply and absorbed into the skin. Slight stickiness felt on skin.

I have bought this product at the retail store. It is absorbed easily into the skin and leaves no sticky feeling which i hate. Skin feels smoother but no effect on my pores. One good point is that its made entirely of herbal ingredients so it doesnt aggravate my skin. Price is steep though. The product shld probably be used as maintenance rather than trying to improve skin condition.

Didn't really like the smell of the product... Worse still i did not see any effect after applying for about a week... I guess i would need to apply for a longer period to see an effect...

Herb essence absorbs easily to the skin. After using skin feels softer & smoother but the price is too steep and sample too small

The texture of this essence is light weight and easily absorbed by the skin. It is non-oily to apply. However, not much significant results experienced perhaps due to the small sample size.

texture is not sticky or oily. after using it for 2-3 times continuously every night, there is not much obvious results.
