The formula is the same as all the other Tonymoly hand creams in a tube that I've tried, which is why I love this. It's much less heavy than the Tonymoly Peach hand cream (in the little peach-shaped jar), sinks in fast and doesn't leave my hands greasy or sticky at all! This hand cream moisturizes wonderfully. As for the smell, I got the blue one (soapy), and it smells very pleasant, like laundry detergent. I'm planning to purchase the other scents after I run out!
