It has an essence consistency, watery but with a slight slip that is super hydrating. The lightweight texture feels refreshing on the skin, absorbing quickly with no stickiness. Skin feels moist & hydrated, plus it does a great job reducing redness, due to the soothing properties of TECA. I’ve been using it both AM & PM, applying 2-3 layers if I notice any redness, or else one layer if I’m not experiencing any skin issues. After using for a couple of weeks, I noticed my skin appears more plump, bouncy & glowing.
