Nice but gonna try other moisturisers instead
First FA safe moisturiser I’ve used. Had high hopes and expected this to become my holy grail but I find it pretty average. Always like a gel texture but sometimes when I use this on my face I find it looks like my face is still wet or it hasn’t absorbed fully so I end up going over to rub it in cuz it’s feels a tad sticky. Which i do find a bit unpleasant. But actually it’s one of the first moisturisers that i can’t feel sticking onto my face afterwards and i do love it for that. It’s like water on the skin, not another thick layer of moisture Id felt with others. Still can’t tell if it’s been breaking me out but I don’t feel like it soothes as much as I’d like it too because some areas of my face are very red so that’s why I’ll try another moisturiser. Since using this I have got more under the skin spots and I do believe it could be this causing it but of course everyone’s skin reacts differently.

I consider this as my entry to skin care, one of my first products that I could say that worked for me. When I was starting out, I was just using a foam cleanser and this product, and that was all it took to clear out and calm my eczema flare-ups! I've been using this product for more than 5 years and I could say that this is my bare minimum skincare - I can drop everything else, just not this!

Great immediately after cleansing. Helps hydrate my skin and serves as a great base to add other actives on top. Very light and the skin just drinks it up. Have used everyday for years and can’t live without it.
