Not that hydrating. It stings due to urea and strong medicinal fragrance maybe as I have rosacea. There are better products than this. I initially have loved this as it is fa-safe.
Have been using it for a year now and already got 8 backups when i heard it got reformulated :( non greasy and leaves a natural finish, calms my skin overnight when its stinging due to irritation
