Feels very hydrating and makes my skin look glowy the next day, but if I use it more that once a week or so, I do get some irritation. But I'm a very sensitive girlie

Can be greasy and oily at first.
My inflamed pimples are improved overnight but I think this product makes my skin a bit more oiler when applied.
