It's the first time in my life that I try an essence, so I do not have much reference but it feels good on the skin, it leaves a feeling a little sticky but slight, and at least it does not bother me because later I apply my moisturizer and It does not feel more like that. The smell is very good and with a pump it reaches you for the whole face. I do not think it is recommended for people with dry skin, but normal, mixed or oily, I recommend it.
