I was surprised at how incredibly light it felt, even though it was an oil. When you shake it, the golden particles that pop out pop on your skin and disappear as soon as they're absorbed. It's not at all sticky, which is typical of oils, and your skin feels plump and supple afterward. After about three days, I noticed that my skin was revitalized, with firmness and a natural glow. It also helps the next lotion to be absorbed better, and if you use it in the morning, you can go until the evening without feeling dry, which is amazing. It's expensive, but I'm glad I decided to buy it. It's seriously great.
