I actually love the texture of this. It's like honey and is not meant to be rubbed in, but more like pressed in? I press this into my skin after serums but before moisturizer. I can't say it's doing anything for me now in the winter, but in the summer, it was so pleasant to use. I felt like I was pressing water drops into my skin and it was so refreshing. Not really a must have, but worth trying out!
I bought this after getting a sample of it from Style Korean. I had to buy it! At first I was like what is this stuff! I have tried sooooo many products but nothing is like this product. It has a consistency similar to honey. When you apply it, it feels funny, it clumps and sticks, but then it just melts into your skin. It's really hard to describe it. But it makes my skin feels so smooth and i love it! I use it as a last step in my skincare routine.
The texture and smell is very strange, feels like super glue. It's extremely sticky and tacky and it felt like it didn't sink into my skin. Didn't feel moisturising at all.
My skin type: Combi (Normal-oily), sensitive, rosacea
This product is very tricky to work with. Texture is thick and honey-like, but when applied on the skin, it can be very tacky, but it absorbs quickly.
It is so calming and cooling once it hit my skin with patting motion. It takes a bit of time to absorb so keep patting. I used this as the last step of my night routine to seal all the before steps. It works like a sleeping mask. Very soothing and nourishing. The consistency is like a runny gel-like so my jar came with the product leaked out more than half. Stylekorean has promptly contacted me and refunded. Despite the packaging I love this balancing gel. Good that they come out with the new packaging of plastic tube. Have already repurchased.
This gel is quite tricky to use. It can be very sticky if use incorrect way. I find scooping the gel out and dot it all over my face, then press with my palms and pat it in the skin would make it sink in better and hydrating pretty well. Might not be enough for dry skin but I can see myself using this gel more often in summer.
