I use this as part of my PM routine, as it does leave my skin feeling a little greasy and takes a good long while to absorb into my skin. Despite that, in the morning, I can definitely tell that my skin is brighter and softer for having used it. It has a pleasant, if a bit heavy handed fragrance, a bit like sweet talcum powder in scent but that fades quick enough and is not over powering. It has a lovely smooth consistency and applies very easily.
