WORST FOR MY SENSITIVE SKIN
lovely texture, leaves a "moisture film" after which can take some time to get used to, works for my rosacea skin, might clog pores if you're very prone, only used as face wash not makeup remover

Love
I got a free sample of this and used overnight, woke up the next day feeling so soft and replenished. Now using as a post retinol night cream.
Hydrates somewhat but not enough. Does a good job of being lightweight, non-irritating, and scentless, it calmed my redness, but started clogging my pores and breaking me out. It's expensive for the small amount they give you and it's not worth it for such a weak moisturiser. It also feels greasy.
