I enjoy using this cream a lot. Its texture is somewhere between a cream and a gel. There are also small white bead like structures, whch I assume cica, that disappears when you apply to your face. It gets absorbed pretty fast and doesnt leave the skin tacky. My skin feels soothed after using it. It did not break me out and I think prevented me from getting any breakouts as I havent got any since I started using it. I definately will repurchase and this is one of these products that does what it says it will.
