ProsDespite its texture, it didn't feel too heavy when applied. The absorbs was incredibly smooth, and after warming it up in my hands, it spread easily across my face.
ConsWhile I can't pinpoint it exactly, the scent was quite unusual for modern cosmetics trends. It had a slight waxy smell reminiscent of old-fashioned products. There was a lingering scent similar to those thick, dated creams, which was a bit off-putting. Nevertheless, I tested it both morning and night.
I asked my mother to smell it, and she said it reminded her of the plastic scent from new dolls, like Barbie. When I smelled it again, I had to agree.
As someone with dry and super sensitive skin, I found it surprisingly drying. My skin felt quite tight after use.
One night, I applied just a single layer and woke up feeling extremely parched, like a desert.
Another time, I layered it on thinly about three times before bed, but I woke up with a tingling sensation and redness. I had to wash it off and reapply my usual products.
During daytime use, it was consistently drying, and my makeup would pill over it.
While it felt smooth and not heavy during application, it seemed to set on my face, almost like it was hardening. It felt as if it was absorbing all the oil from my skin. To put it positively, you could say it left a fresh finish.
I didn't experience any blemishes after use. I think this might work better for combination dehydrated skin or oily skin types, applied thinly as a final step in their routine.
