It's good but didn't work for me
It's a good moisturizer, has a nice texture and the packaging is gorgeous. A subtle but nice floral scent too....

It's good but didn't work for me
It's a good moisturizer, has a nice texture and the packaging is gorgeous. A subtle but nice floral scent too. But it has niacinamide in the composition. I used to think that my skin didn't tolerate niacinamide in higher concentrations but after using this moisturizer I've notice that niacinamide doesn't work for me in any concentration tbh. It irritated my skin and I stopped using. But if niacinamide works for you then this one might be a good option!
