This is a great, soothing essence I have really been enjoying. The consistency is a little stringy at first, which I found mildly off putting, but it absorbs right in. Usually 2-3 pumps is enough for my face. My over all skin tone is clearer, and I have only had 1 small blemish in the three weeks I have been using it, which I am thrilled with. I am looking forward to seeing what long term results will be.
