The pudding cream has a pudding texture with honey like color. This pudding will turn into gel like texture after rubbing and applying onto the skin.

Looks like a tub of honey.

As it is in pudding texture initially, it is best to rub against your own palm so that the cream turns gel like before applying to skin. This makes it easier for application.

After used.

I do feel the cream is a little sticky after applying onto my skin. But after a while, this feeling subsides. Skin then feels smooth and hydrated. 

One tub can really use for a long time as I only need a peanut size cream for my whole face and neck. 

So far, this cream is able to help keep my skin hydrated and less oily. In turn, less blemish. I quite like the benefits that this cream provides and its cute honey like container.
