It comes in a pump type and is easy to use. It's fragrance-free. It has a slightly yellow, soft, and smooth texture. It's a little thick, but it absorbs quickly into the skin. It's not sticky, and leaves a fresh, smooth finish. I think it has a moderate moisturizing effect. It has a light texture, so I thought it would be easy to use even on oily skin. I also like that it contains ingredients like vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. I didn't really notice any effect on pores, but it did leave my skin feeling smoother overall.
It looks like vitamin C in color, so I'm worried I might accidentally use it lol. The texture is also yellow and thick, similar to vitamin C serum. I apply two pumps to my entire face every night, and it's easy to spread. It hasn't caused any skin problems, so I've been able to maintain my skin's condition.

I won a gift and received this product! I had my husband, who has never paid much attention to skincare, try it, and he was surprised at how firm and supple his skin became! The pink seems to be popular, but I also recommend the yellow.
It has a thick texture, but it's not heavy or sticky. It blends well with the skin and has excellent absorption. There was no stinging sensation after application. I think it's very comfortable to use.
