very hydrating and moisturizing. i got it for my body acne and uneven skin tone and been using it consistently for about two months now. so far i've not noticed any improvements with the acne itself but i do notice my skin is so much more softer and brighter too. will continue to use it and see if it works for the acne. overall a good product and great dupe for the amlactin lotion
