Overhydrated?
I think i might be the wrong demographic or i used the product wrong, I do not have dry skin maybe that was the issue but when I used this it made my skin flakey and i could not wear makeup or sunscreen over it. I have combo/normal skin but i think it would have worked wonders during winter time and for someone with dry skin since the formula is very thick
