Thoughts: I was not too sure about this product. Since I have dry skin, I tend to reach for thicker moisturizer. Being gel-like, it's not thick enough for my skin. It didn't hurt to try during this summer weather.
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while using. I just sniffed the product and there is no scent whatsoever. Secondly, the packaging is nice. It's simple and clean looking. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of glass. The top is also sturdy. I can feel a tight seal when I open and close. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's easy to throw in your purse and bag. It's also easy to hold with one hand. Third, the consistency is gel-like and on the medium. It's not too thick that it's hard to work with. It's also not too thin that it runs while using. It's a good consistency and you can take your time with applying. With that said, it's easy to use. After cleansing, serum, and eye product; I use the moisturizer and set it with sunscreen. I spot all over the face with the right middle finger. Then I pat until it's absorbed into the skin. Yes, I only used this during the morning. I needed a thicker product for the night. It quickly absorbs into my skin or at least my dry skin. It's light-weight, not greasy, not sticky, leaves a nice smooth texture, it's comfortable, and hydrating. It's good for all skin types. It might be too light for my dry winter skin but for the summer, it's good. Lastly, it lasted all day on me. I did not need to reapply. I am glad I got this product. Would I repurchase, yes for hydration only. Other than hydration, I did not see any anti-aging effect. It's great for twenty year old but if you are older, it might not be the best. The description says plump, dewy glow. I did not see that on me.
