Applying to a cleansed skin at night, you want to apply this product first and for best results use as a course of treatment for 10 days and then follow-on to use 2-3 times a week to support the effects. The hydrating formula glides over the skin easily and absorbs quite quickly to leave the skin feeling hydrated and nourished without feeling sticky or greasy, you will notice that raspberry scent but it soon disappears after 5 minutes. It isn't runny like a serum and it is not thick enough to be a moisturiser but what it does do well is supply the skin with hydration (water) and nourishment (oil) both things the skin needs for optimal health.  It works perfectly under any moisturiser at night and with continued applications a hydrated and healthier looking complexion will greet you in the mornings.
