This is a good gel cream. If you’ve tried the Purito Oat gel cream then this is extremely similar! You do get half of the amount of product. But it is also cheaper too. It gets kinda watery as you rub it in. This one does contain copper peptide, niacinamide, and some other extracts. So not as sensitive friendly as the Purito gel. But with the extra ingredients, it might help with acne. This Show more
