I like that it applies smoothly so it feels like you're applying cream onto your face. When you wash it off it comes off really well almost like it melts off, it's really satisfying how it washes off :") It doesn't make ur pores disappear like magic but it does help tighten them. It said its recommended to use it a couple of times a week and I only use it sometimes so I think it's be more effective when used more frequently.
