The texture of this formula is gel like but feels so smooth and soft on the skin, it didn't break me out even though I have combination acne=prone skin and I love the hydrating effect- Although, if your skin is flaking out w/ dryness, this is not enough to hydrate it.

I think this is the best product I’ve used for dry skin! I have combination skin that tends to go dry depending on the climate. I usually apply it to the areas where my skin gets dry, and it did wonders for me! The only downside is the strong smell.

I have super sensitive skin that has been getting dry with Differin use. This is the perfect night cream as the last step of my routine. I wake up with baby smooth, moisturised skin and my breakouts are minimised. I also love the smell!
