My gripe with this is the scent. Like Chanel et al, Nina Ricci cosmetics are over perfumed. This is a sharp floral scent which puts me off somewhat. Other than that, the gel is a light translucent blue which absorbs in seconds. This is nice for my combination skin but only with a tinted moisturiser over the top to give that added bit of moisture. Under Laura Mercier spf20 this is great. I may buy this if I can't find a cheaper alternative. I like it but am not sold. No break-outs and good glow though. When my sample runs out I'll see how expensive a bottle is.
