I have been using this product since 6 months and reordered it a few weeks ago. I use it twice a day (morning and evening) and love it! The smell is so good and the texture is like a watery gel what I personally like a lot. It is moisturizing, light and absorbs quickly. The assertion of this product is to double the moisturizing effect of products to be applied next. I can't confirm it but in my opinion it is a very good essence I highly recommend and which I like to use day by day. I have a combination and acne-prone skin but it works well and doesn't cause any trouble.
