Smooth and thick, too thick for the pump actually, it’s more of a cream. It performs well and leaves a smooth non-sticky finish but the smell is bad once you rub it in, maybe I got a bad one?
I enjoy how much of this product you get and how long it will last you! When you first apply this moisturizer, it gives your skin a very hydrated and shiny look. Over time, it ends up looking more matte but feeling pretty smooth! I’ve noticed that my skin has reddened in response to the product before, but never experienced any itchiness or discomfort! Great product, just nothing life changing Show more

I really love this product! Is super hydrating and a little bit on the thick side, but it doesn't feel greasy or heavy at all in oily skin, it absorbs really well without any pilling. It's also non-comedogenic so it won't break you out. And it doesn't have any kind of fragrance at all, so it's also great for sensitive skin. It really works for almost any skin type (only those who are allergic to Show more
This moisturizer gives your skin a very nice dewy finish. Which I love so much. It's also never caused me any breakouts or irritation. I love the whole propolis line. All the products are healing and super hydrating, and ever since I started using them my skin looks a little more healthy and clear!
