I purchased this from Changi Airport late last year at $44 for the 60ml size. Packaged in a plastic tub which may bring bacteria with each opening and fingers-dipping, I usually prefer to wash my hands before using different fingers if I need to dip or scoop out the contents several times. Using a spatula is still quite a hassle in the morning when I am pressed for time.
I am not exactly impressed by its twist-and-turn cap with a layer of tracing paper in it that gets "dirty" easily by the moisturizer, leaving glops or stains on it. It looks yucky and "cheapo" to me.

I have been using this as a day moisturizer for the past 4 months and the scent can be off-putting for first time users like me. It took awhile for me to get used to its pungent scent. Contents that were exposed to air turns orange, instead of its original light yellowish colour.

The texture is like a lightweight creamy moisturizer which hardly resembles a gel as what the name proclaims. It goes on light onto the skin and hardly hydrates well under the harsh air-conditioning office I am in. It is good for daily maintenance but not for dehydrated skin like mine, which requires something stronger.
