It smells good and isn't too strong. However, I have acne/sensitive skin where it felt too strong on my skin and felt a bit irritating. Also, don't forget to put sunscreen on at the end of your skin care!
Has a low amount of retinol so its not too irritating on the skin however I am more sensitive to retinols so I only use this once or twice a week and it does help with my acne but after I finish I don't think I'll repurchase because I do prefer salicylic acid to help with my acne because I can use it more often and its non irritating for my skin type.
It is both hydrating and brightening. Leaves the skin refined. It has an artificial scent of orange but it goes away quickly. Also, it doesn't sting. The texture.of the pad needs improvement though. I suppose that's something ko can expect considering the price.
