I bought it because it had good reviews and my favorite person was promoting it. It's packed with liquid and makes my skin shiny, but it seems to be effective! I thought so, but it makes my skin feel a little tight the next morning. However, my skin texture looks good. But it's so tight, I probably won't be buying it again... It would have been ideal if it contained retinol and niacinamide. I envy those whose skin is compatible with it.
