Great for combo skin
Disclaimer: I have combo skin that tends to be dry in my cheeks and oily everywhere else. I also have eczema on my cheeks.
It absorbs nicely into my skin and doesn't leave a sticky layer. I think it provides a good amount of moisture for my combo skin. It also reduces the redness in my cheeks. I was in between this and the iunik smoothing gel moisturizer and I think I like this one better. Dr. G provides me with more moisture. I also love that it comes in a tube. I dont really like skincare in jars. This product gives me enough moisture in my dry u zone and in my oily t zone without making my t zone too sticky or overdone.

Clogged pores! 😭
I really wanted to love this, but after using it for a few days on the dry patches under my eyes and nose, I noticed it had settled into my pores and started forming blackheads. 😭
It makes a nice hand cream for my bathroom, though.

I was hoping this would be a lot more moisturizing for me on its own. It feels nice, light, and easy to spread but within a couple hours or so it seemed like I hadn't put anything on. Also, I didn't really smell it when I tried it on my hand but that oaty smell really hit me when I put it on my face. I don't like the scent.
The next morning my skin was flaky over my eyebrows which is crazy because my forehead has always been more on the oily side, never had flaking skin there! I bought a centella ampoule at the same time so I ended up layering the cream with that and it felt better but still not enough. I think I'll just use it for my hands.
