I used it 2-3 times a week and finished the entire box. It's smoother than Lululun and contains much less liquid. Lotion: This isn't very moisturizing, so I think a primer serum is essential. I apply Leadle Shot or Attenir Primer Shot, my favorite lotion, and then this for 20 minutes, and it really moisturizes and shrinks my pores! After that, I seal it in with serum and cream. I've combined it with various primer serums and pre-lotions, but these two primer serums seem to work well together! They're cool on the skin and not sticky, so they're comfortable to use. I have dry, sensitive skin and pores, but they're easy to use and don't irritate my skin.
