I really enjoy this moisturizer
I’ve been using this moisturizer on and off for about a month and I really like it. I have oily skin so it seems to help with it. It does moisturize also maybe not a whole lot but that’s good for me. The only down fall I would say is maybe the price
Great moisturizer for oily skin, but doesn't provide enough moisture for dryer climates.

One of the thickest/ most nourishing creams I have found without pore cloggers! Really love it for my dry/acne-prone skin.
