It’s a lightweight emulsion (Korean version of moisturizer) with a watery, almost gel-like consistency. I slap this over my face after washing and applying toner. If you have oily skin like me, this may be all that you need – if you have dry skin, you may want to follow up with another lotion or cream to lock in the moisture (but that will be wayyyy too heavy for me and I tend to break out if I layer on too many heavy products :(
