Absolutely love this product, the hydration you get from this is incredible!!!
I have super dry skin and uneven texture and it makes my skin feel moisturised, hydrated and smooth throughout the day!
When first applied it can feel a bit tacky, but the more I’ve worn it the less tacky it has felt. But the upside is, you don’t need much product at all, I do about a pea size and that’s enough Show more
