Pros:

- This single product makes the fastest discernible effect on my skin. When I wake up in the morning, my skin is noticeably bouncier, whiter, and smoother.

- No fragrances

- Usually very cheap, and usually always in stock at many suppliers.

- I actually love the packaging aesthetic. It's not frilly or overly ornamental, but very natural, which feels like it reflects the product itself.

- I love the smooth gel texture. I have also tried the CosRX Snail 96 Music Power Essence which is slimier-feeling by comparison.

Cons:

- Because this product uses only natural preservatives, it feels very unstable. Some recommend to keep it in the refrigerator, but I feel like it has decreased effectiveness after I've stored it in the refrigerator. But you still have to be very careful about storing it in a cool, dark place per package instructions. One time while traveling, I accidentally left it in a hot car for an afternoon. When I used it later that night, the product caused me to break out for the first time (but entirely my fault). This is a con because it may be inconvenient to have to be so careful around such a volatile product.
