it’s super rich but not greasy. I thought it would clog me up, but nope my skin drinks this up. I use it mostly at night, and when I wake up, my face feels calm, soft, and not oily at all. The texture is like a soft buttery cloud, and there's no fragrance, which I love because my skin gets irritated so easily. What I really like is that it has ashwagandha, reishi mushroom, and peptides so it’s not Mikelapla · youthtothepeople.com

I recommend. It's lightweight. I now associate the light scent with a feeling of clean, fresh and hydrated skin. The way it feels going on is unique and interesting, at first it feels smooth like water but as it spreads over your face you can really feel the transference of moisture, and that hydration lasts me all day.
