Absolute glass skin and anti-aging together with hydration. That’s what I’m looking for. I tried it, saw the extreme glow it gave my skin, and bought it immediately, after reading the ingredients and seeing the hype around this moisturizing gel.
Now, regarding the sticky texture you mention, the first and most active ingredient it has, in many forms in fact, is collagen! It contains such a large amount that it reminds you of jelly (which is naturally made from collagen, the kind we eat). That’s why there’s this sensation at first, which for me goes away after a while, and it doesn’t bother me at all. It’s fully anti-aging, with many ingredients that offer firming and strong anti-aging effects—I repeat, especially firming (that’s why it tightens the skin, because it creates a stretching effect). If you don’t want this result, then it’s not for you. It has a light texture even though it’s a bit sticky at first. You only need a small amount for it to be absorbed, and it lasts a long time. It leaves an incredible glow on the skin, hydrates very well (at least for me), and erases fine lines. You can use a small amount of this gel and then apply another moisturizer on top to lock in the moisture, and that way it won’t be sticky at all. It does its job as an anti-aging and firming product, and even more so. It’s suitable for both day and night. You can also get the corresponding Medicube version, which comes in a cream form, not a gel, with a lighter texture (not sticky) and almost the same ingredients.
