First off, the packaging is very appealing and it instantly caught my eye. I bought it on impulse and I do not regret it. I got the smaller 150ml bottle size just in case it did not work well with my skin. I had no issues and my skin did not react badly to it. I can't say whether it helps sooth that well but it does hydrate! I would recommend it. I will most likely buy the bigger size shortly before I run out.
