The first time I bought this product, it didn't have any smell and the liquid was very much slimey like cause I would pump some of the product one 1 finger on the left hand then get about half on a finger on my right hand then apply it to my face. When I did that, the liquid would kinda "stretch" like slime. Then the second time I bought it, it had a kinda strong chemical smell like acetone or something and then sliminess was completely gone. I feel like the new formulation was kinda bad for my skini, like it was kinda making my skin break out. Third time I got the product, the sliminess is still gone and the chemical smell is gone as well, and now it is working fine for my skin
