Keeper
Usage: 2 months (AM + PM)
Skin type | Mixed to oily skin. Skin tone is very light. The main concerns are clogged pores, and inflamed white spots.

This cream integrated my morning and night routine for the past 2 months, producing visible changes. The application is a very pleasant experience as the texture is very light and fluid and absorbs quickly, not leaving any residue. The skin feels and looks more hydrated and healthy. Inflamed spots/white spots seemed to appear less frequently while using this moisturizer. It seems to have a light fragrance although this is a fragrance-free product. One pump seems to be enough for the face but two pumps are required to cover face+neck area.

Conclusions: It's a keeper! :)

Note: This was my experience applying the product during autumn/winter time, in a place where temperatures ranged from 20ºC to -2ºC degrees and humidity were variable from periods of low to very high humidity.

This was SO close to working for me. I suspect either the triglycerides were too comedogenic for me or that I have a niacinamide sensitivity. My skin’s reaction to this was far better than most other products though, and that’s saying something. That said, the experience and consistency of this was nice. It wasn’t QUITE hydrating enough and over time my skin started to get irritated and broken out. Take that with the biggest grain of salt as my level of sensitivity is uncommon. I’d recommend this to most anyone else. Just watch out if your skin is sensitive AF like mine. I have higher hopes for the Sebamed clear gel.

Using it in of all my day routines
This is a permanent component of all my day routines which hydrates, soothes and calms irritated skin and also has great long-term benefits. It is rich in Selenium, a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation and improves elasticity. I generally use it during the day because Selenium also provides triple benefits to the complexion, protecting against UV damage, inflammation, and hyperpigmentation. I spray it on my face to dampen skin, then apply products with Hyaluronic Acid.
