I like the glue-like thickness for my essence or ampoules more than watery ones because I feel like they give me more moistures. This essence satisfied me from day 1 for that first. I usually give more attention to essence than moisturizing lotion or cream. After applying this first night with other my usual night care products, my skin had still moistures and Glowing the next morning. Loved it. It doesn’t have any irritating scents. Super satisfying product for the price.
