My overall experience/comments on the product:
I love how this goes on as it's very lightweight yet you really feel a burst of hydration as soon as it hits your skin. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and looking radiant. As I said in the would I buy it section... if money wasn't an issue I absolutely would because it feels wonderful but at its price point it's really hard for me to justify splurging on it.
