Not irritating, lightweight. Not as hydrating, looking back. Oil control is decent. It brightened my face, albeit a little. Hard to empty, but sturdy packaging. Overall, a solid moisturizer, especially for summer.

I use this every other day and it’s great, unlike other moisturisers that I use, it soaks in and it makes your skin look calmer. Some moisturisers can make the redness visibly worse. But this doesn’t. I recommend! I’ve been using it for years now!
It’s comforting and my skin never has adverse reactions to it
