Got this for free from a friend that didn't want it anymore, so I grabbed it immediately! It's a viscous gel that comes in tub form (a little unsanitary but i transferred it into a pump bottle). I have dry and dull skin but after two days of using this my skin was already much brighter and did not have flakes. Highly recommend this, but what might bother some people is the tackiness of it if you use too much (applying one small pump for the face, or a light finger scoop should be enough)!
