After application, the skin feels very soft and it dries the skin much less than other products I've tried before. I have very dry skin and my face cream anyway always afterwards. For me it is normal.
Referring to some reviews with a star, I can only say: Why should I take any soft, fine brush? It acts as a gentler scrub .. and of course, make sure you clean the brush after use and leave to dry ..
The usage is simple and takes no more than normal washing. Very economical it is. My skin just do it well once it's empty, I'm going to buy more there.
