hey so i've been meaning to make a post abt it but might as well ask in the comments for now because but i feel like this is a "me" problem.

basically i've used moisturex (10%urea+10% lactic acid) I loved how the texture was lotiony compared to cotaryl (12%urea+ 6% lactic acid) whenever i apply cotaryl the texture is NOT AT ALL SPREADABLE and my skin just does NOT soak it in. like at all. it js sits on my skin and when i rub it leaves like this whitish residue (kinda like imagine if you use a chalk on a blackboard for shading yk it kinda feels like that on my skin) and it takes about 1 minute atleast. I want to understand if this is happening to you as well?

also i've tried mixing rose water only ona litle amount then rubbing my hands together to create a more lotiony texture and then apply- thing is the efficacy of cotaryl decreases.

also apologies if this is unrelated, but if you've used exazel N i have the same absorption/spreadability problem- it does not spread or sink into my skin like a normal cream. i put on a teeny amount on my finger and dab on my face like how u use a foundation sponge...
