This is my all time favorite product. I’ve used it everyday on my face for a while now. I struggle with closed comedones + acne + dry skin from actives. This has helped my damaged skin barrier a lott. Also, it’s pretty cheap for its big size.
I love this gel! I use it on my body (I have mainly normal skin that can get dry/rough and is prone to fungal acne). This makes my skin so soft and doesn't provoke the malassezia. And it's easy to spread. I have nothing bad to say about this product, except that it's so slippery, that if I'm not paying attention, it might sometimes slide off my hands before spreading it XD! I haven't tried it on Show more
