My combination-to-oily skin loved this water gel moisturizer. It's so lightweight and moisturizes well enough for morning use. It doesn't do anything else, but it is unlikely to irritate sensitive skin, either. It is somewhat expensive in my country. So, I will repurchase if I cannot find a cheaper and similar moisturizer, but it has become my favorite one so far.

It's a light gel cream but still hydrating and I love how soft my skin feels after using it. I have very sensitive ayes and skin and don't get any reaction after use. I have combination to oily skin with fine lines and I use it during winter in combination with a more hydrating serum/lotion and probably in summer I will be fine using it alone or with a lightweight lotion.
