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 propolis might want to take extra precautions).
Plus, you get a really good amount (65ml, 15ml more than a regular sized moisturizer) for such a low price. And if you're still not convinced about purchasing the full size (because let's be honest, if you don't like it, it's way too much product to throw it away), i've seen some packs with mini versions of some of the products from the COSRX "Propolis" line, and they also have a great price.
