So the description given by Tony Moly sounds really good, plus since it's more of a gel then cream it shouldn't clog your pores and should help those with inflamed skin or acne.

But the 'cute packaging' that attracted it to me is starting to bring the product down.

Firstly it's in a twist off tub, it does have a protective cover but since the cream is so sticky the cover often gets stuck to the lid and it's just all really un hygienic. 

The gel...it's just too sticky for my liking I guess the honey ingredient makes it stringy and syrupy like honey but I've read other people's reviews saying it sinks in quickly, however in my experience it takes quite a while to absorb and there's the easy mistake to put too much on and then well you're just screwed. So I guess the best time to use it would be at night but i don't like the idea of putting another cream or something on top of it so it's more like a mask.

However I use it in the morning for a dewy look and since it takes quite a while to absorb on me, i just get ready and do my things whilst it's slowly absorbing.

✔ It smells like fresh apples

✔ Comes with a spatula

✖  It's quite sticky

✖  Packaging isn't the most hygienic and I'd prefer a squeeze tube type
