I can only talk about my experience and honestly my skin looked the best when I used this. I suffer from really dehydrated and sensitive skin and this was a life saver. It's incredibly hydrating, moisturizing and soothing. When applied it felt like a really light layer of oil that would immediately absorb, leaving my skin super confortable. While it didn't manage to replace my moisturizer it did shorten my routine and the need to use a lot of steps. It has a light herbal scent that's not too overwhelming and I personally love.
