Dear, Klairs Fundamental Water Gel Cream 32 ingredients
I really love this moisturizer it has an amazing texture and feels so good on the skin but i started scanning all products i buy with yuka so i can detect any harmful ingredients and unfortunately it doesn’t have the best score on there
The texture is amazing for my skin type which is combo acne prone skin, It’s thick enough for my T zone but lightweight enough for my U zone, left my face without acne and was a moisturizer i would recommend

Unsafe ingredient
Kinda shocked this has 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor in it, an unsafe uv filter, especially since it's not even a sunscreen. I bought this without checking the ingredient list too closely, and now I don't know what to do with it. Why even put this ingredient in, it doesn't make any sense.
I really wanted to love this product since everyone seems to love it. However, I found that it burned my sensitive skin and had to stop using it. I also didn't like the consistency as I found it too thin and not moisturizing enough for my dry skin. I have yet to figure out what ingredient in this cream upset my skin but I don't recommend it if you have extremely sensitive skin.
