really basic for the price
okay gel moisturizer nothing special to it i prefer the cosrx snail mucin cream if you are looking for a gel cream
The packaging/aesthetic is really it's only positive. This made my skin so greasy and dull. It also broke me out a lot. Don't recommend this product or brand. it's very gimmick-y.
