A small amount covers a lot, so it lasts longer than you might think.
It's not super moisturizing, so you can use it in the morning before applying makeup! It's neither good nor bad! Anyway, the price is cheap, which is great! I also use the serum, but the packaging is almost the same, so I often get confused lol
It's a white cream that's not too sticky, yet moisturizing enough, with just the right amount of thickness. It can be wiped off with tissue, but I also find it useful as it can be used before applying makeup, and this is my third or fourth bottle. My skin feels great when I use it. The tube type makes it easy to use, which is also a plus.

I had some faint dark spots, so I bought this hoping it would help. It's only about 1,000 yen, so I can easily find it at a drugstore. I've only just started using it, so I don't know if it's effective against dark spots, but I was surprised to see the open pores on my cheeks the morning after I applied it. I'm a little worried about using it in the middle of winter, but it was enough to moisturize my combination skin, except for the dry T-zone. It's not sticky, but moisturizing. I'd be happy if it actually has the desired effect on dark spots later on.
