Great moisturizer
A great moisturizer that gets absorbed easily by the skin and keeps it hydrated all day long. Keep in mind it's a general product meaning you won't see any great improvement concerning acne. Also it's not really compatible with all sunscreens. For example, it's not compatible with La Roche Posay Anthelios Dry Touch SPF50+.
