-the mandarin smell is VERY strong, i would not recommend if you are not a fan of that type of smell

-smooth and easy to rub into the skin, no drag
-my skin feels clean without an oily film left over like a lot of cleansing balms/oils
-comes with a spatula to scoop out the product without having to use your fingers!
-the packaging is aesthetically pleasing and cute on my bathroom counter

i recommend looking up instructions for this product before using because i did use it incorrectly the first time 😓 you want to really rub the product into the skin in a circular motion and then wipe it off or wash your face afterwards- if you don’t wipe it off,  it will leave an odd residue 

i think that this product is definitely geared more towards dry skin, which is good for the winter months. i do like using this product on top of my normal routine but i do not feel like it made any noticeable difference to my skin

I received this product for free from Picky and MIXSOON in exchange for my honest review ✨

it is a multi use essence that doubles as an exfoliant to gently remove dead skin while also hydrating 

the key ingredient in this essence is fermented bean extract which is meant
to help nourish dry skin and strengthen your skin barrier 

upon first pumping the product out onto my skin, i noticed that this is probably the most viscous product i have ever used- even more than any snail serum !

-i did not see much difference in my skin from before and after using this product 

-no scent which is great for sensitive skin
-easy to absorb into the skin
-left my feeling nice and slightly exfoliated after using with a cotton pad
-no irritation or redness after using 

it does contain alcohol so the smell may be overwhelming for some and may irritate dry skin

this product is amazing for people with oily skin, it does not pill 

has a strong orange scent that may be too strong for some people

i feel like this product worked amazing at getting off my makeup and sunscreen without drying out my skin
