Avène Hydrance Essence-in-Lotion

This is an Avène essence that I bought with my own money.

I felt a bit dry due to the changing seasons, so I purchased this to add a serum.

It claimed to be good for inner dryness, not only providing moisture but also sustaining it, but it feels mediocre.

The hydration and moisturizing effects are inconsistent, so I end up having to reapply either a moisturizing cream or a hydrating cream.

But if I apply this multiple times, it's not like it's low in oil... ㅠ

And the serum spout is shaped like that, so it's hard to control the amount. It's a watery formula, so why is it shaped like a ketchup cap...?

Anyway, I don't really reach for it.
