If you're looking for effectiveness, this is definitely the one! Everyone says the smell is bad or that it's too refreshing, but the effects are amazing, so I recommend it. If you're concerned about dryness, you can just layer on an oil or thick cream, and when I tried using it as an all-in-one, I really noticed a reduction in blemishes, firmer skin, and a clearer complexion. This is the first time I've ever experienced something so cheap yet so effective, and if you understand the refreshing texture, I think you'll only need this one bottle for the rest of your life. I'm currently on my sixth repurchase. I wish the manufacturer wouldn't change the ingredients!
