for the price point of this moisturizer i feel like i expected a lot more?
i mostly used this moisturizer at night paired with my tretinoin and i found that the 2 worked well with each other. it’s a really nice almost gel-like cream texture with a light fragrance. i found it a little hard to blend while my face was still damp which is when i usually apply moisturizer. i don’t feel like it did much for my skin but moisturize it.. lol definitely wouldn’t pay $70 for it again

i wish i didn’t like this
i just finished a free sample of this moisturizer, and i loved it. it wasn’t too thick or heavy at all, wore well under makeup, and didn’t pill.
it also costs $68 for a full size. while not entirely non-justifiable like La Mer or something, it’s still quite costly. perhaps in the future i’ll bite the bullet on a full size.
