My skin has been clearing up since I've included this into my skincare regime, but that might also be due to the other products I've started to use. It smells very fresh—I personally love the smell. There is a lot of liquid in each pad so I cut mine in half. I used this after showering, without applying moisturizer (I have very dry skin), got changed, and my skin was not tight or uncomfortable at all. Suitable for all skin types!
