This was one of the few products suggested to me by Skinsort (Albeit based on favorite ingredients), so I was curious to try. After nearing the end of this product, I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. With all the hydrating ingredients contained, I expected the current condition of my skin to be maintained. Even after having to use more moisturizer than usual, I noticed increased dryness around my whole face after washing (with my previous cream it was usually localized around the corners of my mouth). And considering the price, I wouldn't say this was a worth while product for me. Although hydrating on initial application, I don't think this product is effective for those bordering on the extremely dry side, so I'll have to pass on this one.

This product broke me out so bad. Im guessing this is for dry skin bc it left a heavy film on my face as well.
