I bought it along with the 20% Vitamin F. Rather than expecting miraculous results, I figure it's better than using nothing at all. I've heard this ingredient is considered the best alternative to retinol. The texture is a transparent blue, slightly thicker than a runny nose. It instantly feels moisturizing on the skin and absorbs quickly with a nice, bouncy feel. Depending on your skin type, those with combination-dry skin might find it drying after application in spring and summer without additional products. Update after 2 weeks of use - I'm upgrading my rating from 4 to 5 stars. It provides instant hydration, improves skin texture (making it firmer, smoother, and more supple, and significantly delays the onset of dehydration when wearing makeup), and is gentle on the skin. It's the most essence-like product I've ever used, and I love it. I reach for it more often than the oil-based Vitamin F. When I massage it into my face, it instantly provides a hydration boost equivalent to about 5 layers of toner. It absorbs quickly, forming a protective layer. When it starts to feel dry, I apply a moisturizer on top. The hydration gives a nice cooling effect in summer, which is great. It seems like a well-made product. The Vitamin F, on the other hand, seems to make my face more sensitive (and caused dry eyes), so I've stopped using it daily. I now use it once a week on my face and apply it to my body for 5-6 days consistently. Interestingly, I find the Buffet more effective when used intermittently rather than daily.
Cons- It pills slightly under makeup, so I wouldn't recommend using it before applying cosmetics. - While the texture is much better than the oil-based Vitamin F, it seems to just provide hydration. However, one of its key features is that it's rumored to have 'actual' effects on wrinkle improvement, so I plan to continue using it for daily care. - The scent was a bit off-putting at first, but now I've gotten so used to it that I barely notice it. After reading other reviews, I remembered, 'Oh right, the smell was a bit strange.'
