Effective spot treatment, however, it dries down and can be crumbly. Definitely not the best option for an overnight spot treatment. I repurchased this and used two tubes, but I've moved on to a different spot treatment that is more pillow-safe for overnight application.

This is not hydrating enough for combo skin. Left my skin feeling like it needed more, but it does absorb well and has no scent.

Unfortunately I realized my skin is sensitive to centella asiatica after consistently getting irritation after using this. I’ve found It gets worse if layering multiple products that contain centella (aka cica or tiger grass). It’s all over Korean skincare too 😓

i have oily combo skin and used this in both dry winter and tropical humid climates. this works well for me and does not sit heavily on my face, absorbs nicely with little fragrance.

for tropical humid weather, i highly recommend this gel for its soothing and cooling properties. however, i did think it wasn't moisturizing enough for dry weather without layering an occlusive over it as my chin Show more
