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 and is quite humectant heavy with only one emollient and no occlusive ingredients. From anecdotal experience using this moisturizer, for general use in mild environments and/or warmer seasons it is a good option but if you are living in harsh, drying environmental conditions or using an adjucnt drying ingredient like BPO or retinoids (such as adapalene or tretinoin) this moisturizer probably won't suffice for most skin types.

This is a really light moisturiser that is great for summer. It's not quite hydrating enough for my skin though as I'm currently using Differin. I still like it though as it doesn't clog my pores at all and seems to calm the redness in my skin.
