Like the name implies, this gel is indeed very soothing. Before using it, I wasn’t sure why this product was so hyped but now I see why. This product not only has a nice smell, but it’s also very moisturizing. My face is oily throughout the day, but is typically dry after cleansing. Because I now use this after cleansing, my face somehow doesn’t feel the need to produce as much oil. I lather a bit more on before bed and wake up with refreshed and moisturized skin. Although it’s a bit gooey, it become a watery texture as soon as it reacts to your body’s heat. I would totally repurchase.
