Despite this, I really dislike thick textures, heavy creams, and overly nourishing products that are slow to absorb. My skin tends to develop blemishes easily. Packaging: The product arrived with a ribbon-tied shopping bag, which made it feel like receiving a gift - a lovely touch! The container itself is not too large and has a simple design, which I appreciate. I haven't used it all the way to the bottom yet, so it's not inconvenient, but I imagine it might be tricky to scoop out when it's nearly empty. 2-in-1 Feature: I love that I can adjust the application based on my skin's condition. Due to my dryness, I initially tried a ratio of 2 parts serum to 1 part cream. However, I felt like it wasn't creating enough of a skin barrier, so I switched to 1 part serum and 2 parts cream. I found that applying small amounts at a time, rather than one large application, helped with absorption. Texture: I tried applying just the cream portion, and it spreads smoothly on the skin without feeling heavy or sticky. It has good absorbs well. The serum part looks like a gel serum, but it absorbs into the skin without feeling slippery or sitting on top of the skin, which I really like. Overall: The advantage is that you can adjust the amount of essence, emulsion, and cream all in one product. Rather than applying a lot at once, it's better to mix the amounts as needed and layer small amounts. This allows you to adjust based on your skin's condition each day, which I found very beneficial.
ConsThe scent was very uncomfortable for me. It smelled a bit like medicine, which I found unpleasant. When I tried applying just the cream generously, the scent lingered for too long. I experienced a burning sensation. When I deliberately applied only the cream, I felt a burning sensation and itchiness, so I found that mixing it worked better for me than using the cream alone. After applying the cream, if you touch other objects before washing your hands, it leaves significant fingerprints.
TipOn particularly dry days, I found it helpful to mix in some facial oil with the cream for extra hydration.
