I bought this because I was concerned about enlarged pores. The scent is quite strong, and while people's tastes may differ, I don't dislike it. It's watery, so it's fine when used with a cotton pad, but when you try to use it on your hands, it comes out in a big gush, making it a little difficult to use. It stings a little when my skin is weak, but the feel isn't bad. It feels like my pores are tightening up a bit. I'd like to continue using it!
