The liquid formula applies smoothly and has a pleasant scent. I didn't experience any blemishes while using this. It might feel a bit tight for those with dry skin, but I just applied two layers of this alone without using anything else.
I initially bought this on a whim after seeing an ad and used it for about 2-3 years. But after discovering YouTuber Director Pi and learning to scrutinize ingredients, I looked into this product's composition and switched to something else. I now avoid anything with PEGs. If the ingredients were better, I might have continued using it. It's expensive - I always bought it duty-free. Not sure if it actually benefits the skin. It's just a pricey essence that doesn't cause any issues.
