Out of the three new fig products from I’m from, this boosting essence became an immediate favorite.ย The texture, the ingredients, all was a dream and will be one of the products I’ll always turn back to.ย Let’s jump into it.
What are figs good for skincare benefit wise?
Figs possess high polyphenols, omega fatty acids, and vitamins (A, B1, and B2) and are known for their significant antioxidant properties.ย They also enhance skin’s hydration (preventing water loss), fading dark spots, improving skin tone, and calm skin’s redness.

How to use:
After cleansing and using your toner, continue your routine with this boosting essence and pat into your skin.
Product packaging:
This boosting essence comes in a tall glass bottle and most definitely is not travel friendly.ย If you are going to travel with this product, please transfer it into something smaller and not glass (duh).
The lid is a screw on and to dispense the product, you’ll have to shake it like a ketchup bottle.ย I haven’t had many issues with this way of dispensing and I only use about a little more than a dime-size amount for my whole face.
Texture/ Finish:
This essence is definitely not thin like water and is exactly what I think an essence should be.ย It’s thicker than water and takes a little bit of time to absorb into the skin, but it leaves a beautiful hydrating feeling to the skin.ย When I wake up in the morning, I can still feel the moisture on my cheeks and I thank the amino acids and peptides that are in this essence.ย Amino acids have quickly become a new favorite ingredient for me, especially after the discovery of Minon amino moist.
Okay let’s try this!
Here is my skin after coming out of the shower.ย I usually a little bit red around the cheeks.
To apply this, I usually put it in the center of my palms, clap my hands together, and pat it into my skin.
Effects/ Results:
My skin is noticeably moisturized, supple and I wake up to a long-lasting moisture shield on my face.ย Although this isn’t as hydrating as the Purito boosting essence, it is a close second.ย I can definitely see all skin types loving this and maybe it could work for oily skin types as well.ย For sure those with combo skin would enjoy this!
Fragrance?:
There is a subtle sweet fig scent but it doesn’t smell offensively sickeningly sweet.ย Smell-o-scale: 6/10 in terms of how strong the scent is and it does fade after application.
Pro:
-absorbs into the skin easily
-no greasy finish
-long-lasting hydration
Con:
Nothing
Repurchase?:
Most likely yes!

Overall thoughts:
This was very close to being a holy grail but I can’t give it a holy grail status just yet.ย I need to have the feeling of missing it if it were to run out.ย I’m super impressed with this fig boosting essence and the fact that it has amino acids and peptides all in one is the cherry on top.ย My skin is left super hydrated and I still wake up to my skin feeling supple and hydrated.ย Overall I give this a two thumbs up if you have been eyeing it and it is definitely the star product of the three products in the I’m from fig line.
