I really like this product. It's my go-to moisturizer when my regural moisturizers or serums cause me to break out. I haven't used it for a reaaally long time to see if it will break me out too, but as far as I've seen it's very gentle to my skin (acne-prone). Also, I love the matte finish that it gives, and I can feel my skin as if I put makeup on.
