I received this product as a gift. The consistency of it is very nice, it's a creamy-gel mixture and it's very lightweight. My face absorbs it pretty well but I wouldn't say it is very moisturizing, my face feels dry 20 minutes later. The major thing I don't like about this product is the smell. It is a very strong floral-alcoholic scent. I'm very sensitive with scents and wouldn't buy this just based on the scent alone.
