It's a gentle cream and little quantity covers your whole face. It comes with a spatula. I have been using it for a week now, but because I started using it after I moved to another continent I'm not so sure how it affects my skin. I have sensitive and acne prone skin since I can remember myself, and the fact that it doesn't cause any irritations to my skin is a plus. After applying my skin feels more soft and it's preped for make up. I would recommend it to people with normal and sensitive skin, I think it would do the job for them perfectly. Also the texture is really light which makes it a perfect product for the summer!
