Like many others said this product has a pungent smell and the texture is very runny. I have bought this product in the past and the smell wasn't tris strong also the texture was more viscous. I used it to see if I was getting the same results as in the past and this actually works. I applied a fine layer of the liquid and after waiting for about 10mins I peeled off the paper and came out easily with all the gunk in my pores. Very effective and if applied a thin layer of product it dries quickly. I like the new packaging.
