I received this product in a sample set from using my Sephora points. I use this product after using sheet/charcoal masks and I find it to be very smoothing and hydrating. The formula is really nice and goes onto the skin very easily; it makes my skin feel very soft. While I do really like this product, I do not think I would pay full price for this, as there as so many other products at a better competitive price, but that’s just a personal preference and would still recommend this product if you can afford it.
