My Verdict?
I love it. It feels like dipping your face into a pool of pudding. The texture of the cream is not heavy nor balmy cream; when they say "watery-creamy" it is true to its name, it's like a cream with high water concentration. It blends seamlessly when applied into your skin and melts so easily. The product helps to soothe my redness and give a plumpy feeling instantly. However, if you put too much product it makes your skin feels a bit siliconey or slippery. I prefer to apply it only in the night time to give my skin a "spa-time". Overall, I really loveee this moisturizer and thinking to try the other variant. How about you? Have you tried STUDIO TROPIK product before?
