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

This moisturizer has an ingredient profile that is quite favorable for individuals with acne-prone skin (no commonly implicated irritants like alcohols, sulfates, or fragrance). One observation in using this product I had is that it manages to achieve an impressive gel texture without the usage of silicones, which is quite rare among gel-based moisturizers. This product ranks low in comedogenicity Show more
Great summertime gel cream for oily acne prone skin!
