I came across this product while searching for a glycerin-free product. It contains alcohol, even though it's for sensitive skin, but I didn't find it particularly bothersome. It's simple and gentle, so it's easy to use. I'm also happy that it's reasonably priced.
I bought this one because I found the lemon version of the same series to be a bit dry during the fall and winter. My pores seem less noticeable than before. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and firm. I also like the scent. It doesn't cause any redness, and I'd like to use a second one.
Recently, I've been into affordable cosmetics like Meishoku. They're not sticky, have a refreshing feel, and don't dry out my skin. I don't think they're bad, but as I'm getting older and have a lot of concerns, I found them a little lacking.
I bought this in the hopes of tightening pores and controlling sebum. The smell is strong, but bearable. I'm not sure about the exact effect yet, but I'll keep using it until I run out.
It's a very watery lotion that soaks into the skin. Because of this, you need to use a lot of it, so it runs out quickly. I like how, even though it's watery, it leaves my skin feeling soft and supple once it's absorbed.
