This is a very hydrating product, the whiteningeffect is not really noticeable at least in the first weeks, but my skin is very dry lately and this keeps it soft and plump. I used it mostly at night, but sometimes I used it in my morning routine and didn´t disturbed my foundation, and made my skin looks glowy and healthy. The absortion is really fast and the liquid is very light, I like it, it´s a good product for this price.
