I use this gel-cream as a moisturizer. This is the first onion skincare product I've ever used. Thankfully, it doesn't smell like onions. In fact, it barely has any scent. The reason why I bought it was that it claimed to help with acne and hyperpigmentation (my main skin concerns). Since I use multiple skincare products, it's hard to assess the effectiveness of this product alone. Overall, it's a good, light gel moisturizer though.
