I got a small bottle of free Aqualabel Special Gel Cream when I bought the Aqualabel Moist Perfect Milk UV SPF 28 PA++ in Guardian yesterday. Well, the packaging was too brief and I had no idea at all what this "special gel cream" was. Thanks to internet, apparently this is a 5 in 1 Collagen Gel Cream (lotion, essence, emulsion, cream and sleeping mask all jumbled into one).
So far all the Shiseido products that I used were made in Japan, this gel was made in Taiwan, my first. Well, when I opened the lid, the first thing I noticed was the smell, I like my skin care with no fragrance. However, the smell was not strong, after I tried it on my skin, the smell dissipated. This is something I can accept.
From the appearance of the gel, it looks watery. When I gently shakes the bottle, the gel moves like water. Mmmm, not really water, harder than water, but softer than jelly. It is more viscous than water. Although it's watery, it sticks to the finger, lol!
Well, I applied it on my cheeks yesterday night after all my usual skin care steps. Upon applying on the cheeks, I felt coolness on the applied area. I have a very sensitive acne prone skin, so I only applied it on my cheeks (less prone to acne for me). Since today is just the second day, no effect could be seen yet. I will use this gel for one week to see whether there are any effect on my face, if it breaks me out, I will use this on my neck area though! Hahaha!

Update 20th May 2015
Mmm, for me, this cream didn't do any miracles to my face, but it didn't break me out, plus point here. After a few times on the cheeks only, I applied the cream on my whole face, I felt that it was just sitting on the face, not really seeping into the skin, so I stopped using it on my face and just applied it on the neck until I finished the cream. It's ok, but quite expensive for the neck from the look of the retail price, hahaha!
