What the gurus are saying

The texture splits reviewers: a gel-liquid hybrid that sits between an essence and a serum, thicker than a toner but fluid enough to layer smoothly. Those with dull skin find it noticeably brightens, and it layers well under heavier hydration. The main caveat is fragrance; some find it lightly scented even if labeled unscented, so anyone sensitive to fragrance may want to patch-test first. One reviewer loved the hydrating effects but passed due to scent preference.

"I bought a number of the Fenty products years ago and I absolutely loved them, however I couldn't stay on this end because they're very, very heavy fragranced. I found out they launched an unscented range and I thought that was what I bought. I think it's unscented but I didn't really like the scent of this one either. It didn't feel as overwhelmingly powerful as the other one did, but I just didn't like it. Now I love the effects of this on my skin, it's actually stunning, but it wasn't for me so it's just not what I'm going to repurchase."

"I follow up with the Fenty Skin Fat Water and then I want to layer even more hydration."

"The Fenty Skin Fat Water has a unique texture that is a gel but also a liquid. It's not a toner but it's not a serum, it's kind of an essence but it's a little bit more gelatinous and it does a bit more. Don't sleep on fat waters if you have dull looking skin."
