Very nice jelly moisturizer.
I greatly prefer gels to creams since I’m quite oily.
The price is incredible, minimum half the price of anything else.
Dry skin would likely find this not moisturizing enough but I feel like it’s an excellent product for oily people.

The texture is unusual, but this feels great on my skin. Super refreshing for summer.
