Maybe because it has essential oils? But i don't have bad experience by using this product.

My first impression was that I am surprised by the lightweight and hydrating texture, no greasiness at all. There are no heating and tingling sensation. I enjoyed using it in the morning as well as evening. I haven't seen the brightening effect so far, but it does reducing the size and appearance of my acne. Also, I'm happy that it doesn't irritate my dry and sensitive skin.

It was the bulky packaging and no cover on the nozzle cap.

I think that this toner gives the most hydration with only small amount of product (but not the moisturizing one). Slightly viscous texture but watery, lightweight, & slippery so it's easy to spread on the skin. It's fast absorbing and the slippery sensation will disappear in no time. Only a few drops in one layer already gives enough hydration but I need to use moisturizer or it will dry easily. I haven't experienced any irritation, there is no tingling on irritated skin too.

It doesn't irritate my skin, but when it touches my irritated skin it gives tingling sensation.

This gel-cream moisturizer has thick consistency. However, when applied on skin it will melts smoothly and glides easily on skin, creating a wet look but it will absorbed completely and the finished look is like normal skin. It gives hydration and also enough moisture without greasiness. I enjoyed using it in the morning as well as evening but with fewer amount in the morning, otherwise it'll be too heavy. I like the packaging too because the spatula can be put inside the jar.

But this cream is a bit heavy for my dry skin, so I need to mix it with my lightweight toner for more pleasant feeling.

UPDATE: after my skin becomes more hydrated with other products, i find it easier to applied this cream on my skin. So the key is well hydrating first I guess ^^

For my dry skin, i find it moisturizes and doesn&#39;t make my skin looks dull. It makes my skin glowing and it has brigthening effect too.

It stings my eyes if i accidentaly rub my eyes.
For indoor using i feel a bit heavy, especially if the temperature is high.

The claim for sensitive skin is true for me! Last 2 months, my eyelid was irritated by eye serum and after that i cannot use my usual sunscreen because it worsen the lesion and super itchy. This mild milk sunscreen from Anessa doesn't worsen my irritated eyelid!

It has velvety primer-like finish, not greasy, not sticky, the white cast is minimal if you blend it diligently. 

Best used for outdoor activity because i can really feel it still there even though i'm sweating after exercise, but i don't know what will it be if used for swimming 😅
