It's thick, and when you apply it to your hands with your palms, I love how it feels like it's absorbed into your skin. It's moist and sticky, but it absorbs quickly so it's not a sticky feeling. If your skin is sensitive, it may sting, but I like the feel of it. I'm looking forward to seeing its whitening and pore-fighting effects.
After using about 4-5 bottles, I feel like my face has become whiter. It also feels moisturizing. It had almost no effect on pores. It's a thick liquid, but it doesn't seem to penetrate very well, and even when I press or pat it, it feels like it stays slippery on my face forever. Because of this, any serums I apply afterwards also feel slippery, so I wonder if they're penetrating at all. I didn't like this very much, so I switched to something else.
I love this lotion. It's quite thick but not sticky and absorbs easily into the skin. I feel like my skin has a different translucency while using it.
Ingredients: Vitamin C derivative niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, collagen. Expected results: Whitening/Toning up overall skin tone/Light acne scars/Sebum/Dullness. Technique: Thick, bouncy. Season: Year-round, use in the morning. Will repurchase: Yes. It's great for acne treatment and dry pores. My skin feels better after using this. It's thick yet penetrates well. It also feels moisturizing. I'd like to repurchase it for everyday dullness and tone improvement, or when I'm concerned about dryness or seasonal irritation.
It's a lotion, but it has a very thick texture and you can really feel the Vitamin C. It's a little pricey, but I think it's worth it.
