This firming essence is translucent and fragrance free. It has a gel like consistency. It absorbed quite nicely and rather quickly so you would have to apply the essence a bit faster. My skin feels so great and hydrated! It doesn’t feel oily and greasy at all. My skin is improving quite nicely with a much smoother, firmer and brighter. If you’re looking for an essence that is lighter texture, fragrance free and doesn’t feel heavy and oily, this is a great one to try!
