The texture of the product is quite watery for an essence, it absorbs nicely on the skin and leaves a hydrating sensation. It feels refreshing when I apply it, and it kind of forms a firm barrier on the skin. After some days using it, my skin looks more alive, glowing, and firm. It has a very subtle smell, nothing annoying, and it's transparent. I use only one pump to cover my whole face, so I expect the product to last some long months :)
