The WORST moisturizer ive ever had. This doesnt even feel moisturizing and has a VERY strong silicone scent. It made me get closed comedones all over my cheeks and forehead. It took me 4 months to get rid of the comedones and i still have dark spots all over. P.s. i tried everything to remove them - exfoliating, cutting off pore clogging ingredients too. I would never recommend this to anyone.
