Watery type essence that does glide up quite well after toner. It inmediatly soothes the skin after the cleansing, brings back moisture to the skin and it also has a instant brightening effect. The glow effect last for a while and it doesn't seem as you have oily face rather than healthy skin. When first used it may seem a little tad sticky, however once patted into skin it doesn't leave any resiude behind.I like to let it soak (3 minutes ~) before applying any other product.
