It’s bouncy but also viscous due to the cactus water. It absorbs into skin fairly quickly and provides a great layer of hydration. My skin is noticeably brighter and I have noticed the appearance of my pores tighten over time. It does contain fragrance, though it is low on the list. At times I do find the scent to be a bit overpowering as it does linger for sometime once it has absorbed. This is a very gentle exfoliator. I would personally recommend this to those just starting exfoliates or those who have sensitive dry skin. PROS: - Parabens, Mineral Oil, Sulfates, Silicones, Phthalates, Drying Alcohol - Doesn’t irritate my skin or cause breakouts - Tightens my pores slightly - Hydrates skin - Soothes Calms redness in cheeks - Skin is brighter - Controls excess oil . CONS: - Contains fragrance. But it is low on list. - Scent can be strong at times - Bottle is heavy and not travel friendly - Price is a bit steep in my opinion for full size so I shop around and get a deal.

A very basic yet effective way to cleanse, suitable for sensitive skin types. The product is designed to cleanse, soothe, and remove makeup and impurities. Contains no perfume or hypoallergenic ingredients, also dermalogically and ophthalmologicaly tested. Comes in a 400ml, 100% recycled bottle.

It has a gel-cream formula that dries to a smooth powdery finish. It's powdery because of the azelaic acid granules after all it is a suspension formula. I use this product alone in the AM routine and i don't layer it with any other active just moisturizer and sunscreen. I don't experience pilling with that method. I alternate the use of my actives per day and per routine instead of layering everything on top of each other in a single routine. So far here is my progress in the pictures below
