I cannot live without it lol
This is one of my HG, period. I have the bigger size at home, I have the medium size at my boyfriend's house and I have the smaller size in my purse so I can have it with me at all times. I use it in my routines before applying my essence and serums and I apply and reapply it many times during the day to keep my face fresh and hydrated. Great to apply after you finish your make-up too!

I use this every morning after a "no rinse" cleanser and before my serums. It is hydrating (as to be expected, it is water after all). I find it soothing and occasionally use it in the evening especially during the winter when the central heating makes my skin dry.
This may just be a HG product for me.
