I absolutely love this moisturizer.
I know it has a bad reputation on TT especially but now i don’t trust anyone on that app lol.
I have a very sensitive acne prone skin and this didn’t do any problem to me, it makes my skin super soft and plump.
I bought the smallest one first, tested it for almost 15 days or more and now bought the biggest one.
the only downside is that it kinda makes my Show more
It is good, at leat for me as my skin is very dry.
