This moisturiser has a gel like texture and it is quite hydrating even though I have dry skin but this sits well on my face. I like how it isn’t too moisturising which is perfect for me as I prefer using a lighter cream before applying sunscreen for my AM routine so it doesn’t feel too heavy on my skin. However, it is not hydrating enough for those with super dry skin. I have used this moisturiser Show more
It didn't do too much. My skin needs a thicker consistency and this one didn't make it for me.

I disagree with a couple reviewers here: this is more hydrating than other FA-safe moisturizers. My skin was having irritation breakouts and this calmed my skin right away and I wake up glowier and balanced.
it is really simple
the cream is thick, there is no dominant fragrance, once you apply it to your face the cream melts, really smooth and easy to apply. It's a bit sticky at first but after a few minutes after it sinks in and dries, it gives healthy glow to my face. I'm really happy to find this cream because it's really hard for me to find a suitable moisturizer. plus, this cream is fungal acne Show more
