This is not the Biore Watery Essence that you all know and love from Japan, this is a version that is (at the time of writing) only available in the UK from Superdrug. It's more of a lotion texture and has a fairly sweet/floral scent, and had no cast or eye sting for me. The finish is a little dewy but not greasy, and unlike the original watery essence, this is not water resistant. A fantastic lightweight formula, but personally I still prefer the OG for the water resistance.
