It's the most absorbent lotion I've ever used. It's a scent that even I, who don't like artificial scents, can easily use.
It's pretty good! The scent is relaxing. It's moisturizing and not too sticky. I might buy it again.
I won a giveaway from Suzykirei. Thank you. I like watery textures, so I found it very easy to use right from the start. It blends well with my skin and doesn't feel sticky even when layered. I'm almost finished using it, but as I continue to use it, I feel like the dark circles around my eyes, which I've been bothering, have slightly improved. I'm also no longer bothered by foundation flakiness due to dry skin, so I'm particularly impressed with its moisturizing power. The scent was a bit off-putting at first, but it faded after about two days and became pleasant once I got used to it. This is a lotion I'd like to use again. I've only just finished the first bottle, so I'm rating it 5 stars. I used a sample of the included eye cream to test its usability. The texture felt a little heavier than I prefer, but I was intrigued by its ability to target the orbicularis oculi muscle, so I recently purchased the full product. I'm looking forward to continuing to use it.
First of all, this is a repeat product, and it keeps my skin translucent! The moisture is also impeccable, so even though it's expensive, it's worth it. I only use it at night, but it's an essential product for me. I'm looking forward to seeing if they sell refills in the future. The container is so nice, so I feel bad every time I throw it away. I really wish they would sell refills... I wonder if it's difficult because they're particular about the contents.
It absorbs easily into the skin, and the next morning, my skin feels great. The calming scent makes skincare time a relaxing experience.
