This claimed to be non-comedogenic on the packaging but it clogged my pores I’ve now got whiteheads on my forehead which. Weren’t there before starting to use the product.
feels moisturising when I put it on and for the first few hours. But that feeling doesn't seem to last. I almost want to reapply it mid day so my skin is hydrated.
