I want to praise this gel! The composition has alcohol, but it does not dry, (I am the owner of tonknoy skin prone to dryness) when applied to the face a smell of alcohol. Gel as it tightens the skin, retaining moisture, but the most important thing in this gel I discovered that after application, even when the gel is not absorbed until the end when applying the cream, the cream is instantly absorbed without leaving residue. For I often roll ayherbovskie creams, so vot problem disappeared with this gel. First, then any gel cream.!
