OMG! This is my new HG!
At first, i was too scared to use this moisturizer since it has vegetable oil which can be comedic for acne-prone.
BUT i wanted to give it a shot since i liked their cleanser and my skin was already ruined from using too many bad products, so why not try another? lol.
the first impression was the ✨glow✨ and it literally made me feel like I have 'glass skin'!
I started Show more
The best product I have used on my face. I have extremely sensitive skin and nothing has worked quite as well as this moisturizer. (I’ve used Vanicream, Joon Sung, Cerave, etc). One use of this cream and all redness was gone, I was left with super soft healthy skin. Even though it’s expensive you can use very little bc it’s so thick, and the tube lasts a very long time! It’s a little hard to apply Show more

One of the worst La Roche products in my opinion. This is quite thick and doesn’t absorb well at all. Seems to have a masking effect on the lines - just sits on the face and on dry days sometimes flakes off!
Gets an extra star just for being non irritating.
