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 because it feels like a thick sunscreen but once the product ’melts’ on skin you can spread it more easily. EDIT: After a few weeks of using it I noticed I would break out a little bit, maybe during that time of month when my skin is more oily (?). I stopped using it to sleep and I only use it on morning now and got better results. I have very dry skin so maybe oily skin types might want to use it as a spot treatment / alternate with something lighter

mixed feelings
i found this a tad too heavy for my oily skin, and i suspect that it clogged my pores and worsened my acne. however, the application was so smooth and silky soft. it felt really nice, and it’s a great gentle moisturiser when i have broken or damaged skin, and helps repair it quicker. i now keep it around to use before applying makeup, and it works great in that context. and as long as i double cleanse at night, i get no adverse effects. so overall, not a great general moisturiser, but great as a makeup base.
