This cream has a light mousse like consistency and subtle fragrance. When I first applied the cream to my face, the sensitive spots on my face tingled and burned abit but I guess that was my skin adjusting to the cream (my cheeks). I suffer from oily/dry/blemish prone skin and I wear make up almost every day so I am used blotting my face with paper by 1pm but i monitored my face throughout the day and noticed that by 2pm my face was still no showing any signs of shine and oiliness! Amazing! Now when I apply the cream my face laps it up and doesn't burn at all- I have also noticed my skin's brighter, tighter yet moisturized and my blemishes have lightened, not bad for week 1! Another great thing about this cream is that it serves as an amazing base for your foundation, some how it just clings snug on to the cream and I find my foundation smudges less! *top tip*
