I have oily acne prone sensitive skin and it's always been a massive struggle to find good moisturizers that don't leave me looking like grease ball but are hydrating and light weight enough so my skin doesn't produce excess sebum. This is literally one of the best that I've tried. It has gel like consistency but it's hydrating enough and it leaves a nice finish. Didn't experience any issues with pore clogging, and it's effective with soothing the skin as well. Highly recommend.
