i... don't know why I thought this bottle would be smaller, but it's huge. I don't know how I 'm going to finish it except... my mom took it from me hahaha. I can see improvements being made on my skin which means it's effective, but it's really mild at the same time too. It feels hydrating and is soothing. It has a very watery texture, so it is easy to layer on a couple of layers to get that extra hydration. I'm very impressed (and so was my mom).  Fantastic for the summer!
