I’ve been using this moisturizer since last year; it’s the thickest product I’ve ever tried. My one complaint is how badly it pills. I can only use this at night now. I found myself rubbing my face to get rid of the pilling throughout the day, and to lessen how oily my face was. Three stars still because of how great it is when used at night on top of tret. I wake up with a calm and moisturized face.

la roche says this is safe for the face, but with my experience, it isn't for me. it's the thickest, greasiest formula ive ever put on my skin and it's probably too heavy. i retried it multiple times but the lotion still gave me clogged pores.
