I love this at first. It has a nice gel-like texture that absorbs into the skin and gives a glow...BUT, I noticed small pimples every day when I used it. I literally put it on my face and five minutes in I get tiny whiteheads.
i though I was just purging but it was breaking me out sooo bad and made my acne worse+clogged my pores🥹
I don't like how it's promoted more to acne prone skin but have Show more

HATE it so much. i have oily skin and this made me look so oily that it looks like you could probably deep fry a dozen donuts if you extracted the oil from my face. this also inflamed my clogged pores and i'm pretty sure it clogged more of my pores.
♾️/10 best product ever for dry skin. Definitely don’t recommend for oily skin because the cream is meant for acne prone dry skin (says it on the product) and if you have combination skin/oily skin I recommend using a little bit because it can make you really oily
