since it helps get rid of my texture
I have noticed that with this gel, if you have sensitive skin, that you should space applications out. I have tried using this as a daily gel, which made my skin very dry and sore. However, using it for 1-3 days and then having a matching 1-3 days for recovery gives my skin a rest and lets it repair better. Works well for helping skin texture, however will continue use to see if it works better Show more

Good, but wouldn't repurchase it again
I bought it after SOOO many reviews on tiktok. I tried it and it was really good and matte on my skin. I didn't felt that I needed that (cause I was using the effaclar serum too) so I didn't repurchased again. Would recommend for someone with acne prone skin, looking for a matte gel that feels like a moisturizer.
Broke me out!
After applying the product my skin immediately turned red and irritated and started feeling itchy. My skin never reacts this way! Dont recommend for dry skin
