Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 27 ingredients
This product made my skin worse. Even though it says ‘non-comedogenic,’ the claim didn’t hold up for my skin. It triggered fungal acne, clogged my pores, and caused breakouts.
cleared some of my keratosis pilaris on my face
Versed Dew Point Moisturizing Gel-Cream 22 ingredients
Pretty much feels like aloe vera gel. Not moisturizing enough even on oily T-zone. Skin feels tight after.
Honestly, it was my situate buying this, I have dehydrated, oily combo, acne prone skin. This is for dry skin even though it stays all skin types on the packaging. It wasn’t really doing anything for me, it absorbed fast, and I couldn’t feel anything after a few minutes. I recently got this but I haven’t seen any difference.
