I use it every morning after cleansing and toning. It was a little sticky when first applied but it absorbs completely quite quickly. It spreads well and there wasn't any irritation. My face is definitely brighter after I started using and my acne scars are fading. I can't tell if helping with my aging, but it didn't do anything for my blackheads. It doesn't have the longest expiring date, so I probably wouldn't buy more than 1 at a time.
